Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[pogiman]

Here are my settings. I tried with one stick and four sticks of RAM, still freezes. Just the fact that its pretty stable by just lowering the multi makes it seems that the CPU just cannot go over 4.2ghz

@NoGuru - my ref are set to 66%. I tried 65% and system freezes as well. I havent tried higher yet.
