Hello all, i'm back again to oc a Q9550 to 4GHz! Because my current E8400 4GHz just isn't getting the job done for me anymore.
Right now im extremely stable (no bsod in over a year) and my max temps are only 57c, which they could be better.. but i had to replace my zalman fan and put a titan fenrir xmas edition cooler on it, the rpms are slower so a new 120mm fan might be needed(2200).
My goal for this q9550 is a 4GHz stable overclock, i need a 471FSB speed i believe and right now i have a stable 445FSB E8400, in theory i should only have to touch VTT and core voltage, not the ram correct? cause its timed perfectly (thanks to the 2008 members on here :p)
You can ask me any question you desire, right now i'm going to be picking the processor up from the store so ill be gone for about an hour, and probably another hour to get the proc dropped into place on my mobo ;p
any help would be appreciated
Edit: I will not be using EasyTune6, i will be in the bios. And i will only be testing with Prime95, speedfan, realtemp, and possibly intel burn in test(if necessary).
