Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

Ok Hoss's setting get me through at least 4 passes on linx but I crash in L4D2 within 3 minutes of entering a game. I also had the vcore lowered to 4.25, so it may seem vcore is not holding me back. Could be the vtt since it was at 1.3, however, in my previous tests, I had vtt at 1.5V and it still froze. GTL is always set at 66%. I will give it another go with the new skew settings at the higher voltages.

Some of the files were giving me a CRC error on all the drives. (cannot extract with winrar) It happens on usb drives as well. I am reinstalling windows now. Maybe all the lockups corrupted something? Oh well, more wear and tear on my SSD give me a reason to buy that 600GB SSD in a few years.

if it crashes on games after linx its MCH, pump it up to 1,42 and retry---VTT won't help and remember to keep it near vcore

Question: If keep all timing and FSB settings the same and I only adjusted the voltage settings, the GFLOPS change. I thought it was the mobo setting its own internal timings so I did tested it by retstarting and doing a "cold boot." I get the same number again. It is only when i change the voltages, the numbers change. Is this because the mch has its own timings that is adjusted automatically? The residual number remains the same, however.

well depends i had the same situations when wasnt stable...but also some versions of linx did that
