Hi all
I have a EP45 extreme and a Q9550 with 4 gig of Gskill pc1000 memory.
I have successfully managed to get the cpu to 4.0 ghz by upping the fsb to 8 x 500 and the cpu volts to 1.375 (actually showing as 1.33 in cpuz).
TEMPS under load are 51-49-54-53
The memory is at 2.1 volts. I also set the pcie to 100 manually. My problem is i have read in several places that when the other volts are left to auto...it could be harmful to the chip and m/b. The bios on this board is quite complicated to a novice like me and i am worried that there maybe other voltages i need to change. So i am here to see if anyone can help me with this overclock and have any tips as to what to change to ensure i dont blow up mw pc.
My spec is:-
Q9550
GA-EP45 Extreme (BIOS f8)
4gig Gskill pc8000
2x WD Blacks in Raid 0
2x ATI 4870 in crossfire
