If not mistake,small cable can't handle large current,
So maybe the cable bottleneck the current draw to your mobo.Usually the cable will become hot if it can't handle large current.

Then i have to re-route again the cable without extension....will try it later...
Thanks bro..

I maybe wrong,but try confirm back by exclude the extension cable.

Yaa...have to try & error sometimes.
Btw, how far your QX can go bro? Worth to buy it~? Scared me with the price-tag even i know it's QX...

Just buy this proc,
need to find better cooler, since idle is at 36-40 and the temperature ramp up so fast if open an application.
But at stock speed,and run prime 95 the max temperature is 55C using Zalman CNPS9700.
I try crank up to 3.33GHz by adjusting the multiplier,max temperature is 60C same cooler.
But 3GHz is enough for now

Time for WC~? Me also tempting to get Quad...but still insufficient budget...

Water cooled,need to change casing first,cm690 need to modify to place rad,pump and etc,lazy to mody.
You looking quadcore?I sell one at my signature

Hey guys, do you know what's the most reasonable OC settings for the Q8200 on an ASUS P5G41T-M LX? I know its not really a good overclocker like the Q6600 but I've seen results where some can get it to operate above 3GHz

I'm still new when it comes to adjusting the voltage, so pointers are appreciated.

By the way, which temperature is the main that one should monitor? Since there are 4 cores...

yes, the processor silicon.
oh, so the one 412mhz stable on 1.36v is a different board with this one?

i have no idea what to do with my Q9550... my mobo failed 2months ago.. hard to find socket 775 mobo now

try your luck with 2.8ghz first?
see got cpu temperature or not?
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overcl...um,2366-12.html

try your luck in garage sales there?
but market now still have some LGA775 G41 board right?
Q9550 not bad at all.

yeah, i love this chip..

Yeap, same mobo but recently i added the extension for better cable management...

Might [WTS]~?

The BIOS has it, but checking it every time can be quite a hassle.

Anyway, I'll read more from that article, thanks

if really cannot find the board,
then only can sell it.
hmm, not sure about this.
oh, i mean at the hardware monitor,
see whether got cpu temperature or those tmpin0, tmpin1, tmpin2...

Use coretemp is one of the best for Core2 series proc. HWmonitor sometimes a little more accurate, but depends very much on mobo chips to transfer the data to ur screen.

From my experience, these are more of the better procs for oc results:

Q6-series,
E6-series,
E7-series,
E8-series,
Q9x50-series,

And of coz the QX9650.

For the less oc-able type of proc, i think are these:

E4-series,
Q8-series,
QX6800 (very hot and doesn't make it easy for u to reach 4ghz)

I'm not too sure about the Q9400, Q9300 and Q9505.


Have tried Pentium dual Core and E2-series and E5-series are quite oc-able too. Didn't touch the E6-series though.

The TMPIN0 is only displayed for my graphics card.

The CPU temperatures are displayed on cores#0 till 3, but core#0 seems to have the highest readings.

I managed to OC it by 15%, since its on a stock cooler. Temperature hovers near 60C even on idle.

On a side note, may I know how should I change the RAM timings? I have some knowledge on the speed against the clock cycles but I'm lost when it comes to tightening them.

Pentium dual core E6000 series are the same thing with E5000 except the FSB is higher @ 1066 and multiplier is lower. Overclockability will be limit by FSB + lower multi.


it is rumor that some E5000 have trouble hitting 333FSB cap at ~300. (most probably the ealier version of E5000, E6000 should be easier on higher FSB.

mine E5800 can hit 333 without issue tho.

Try 400 and reduce the multi to x8. U'll enjoy more at 1600fsb.
