hey guys. i got something to ask,
I'm using P45 mobo and Q9550.

Is NB voltage =1.35v~1.4v safe/normal for OC?
or is it much depend on the temps? if so, what is the usually safe temp for NB?

I googled already and most of the results stated that 1.4v is normal when OCing. but still, I wanna know Malaysian people's opinion and point of view on this matter especially temps.

Any help is appreciated.

ok noted. setting it at 1.4075v. no option for 1.4v lol. but in windows shows 1.37v.

Seems like i can't hit 4GHz. adding more vcore to reach stable 4GHz is just too high for my air cooler.

Have to accept 3.8GHz.


Is the max core temps FOR IBT acceptable?

eh really? wish that could happen for my proc n mobo. haha.

hmm, but this test ran during night time. so the temp might go up in daylight, about 3~4C more.

and one more thing, is putting cpu vvt voltage higher than 1.4v safe?

Edited: after some tweaking in the bios (searched the settings for my mobo in google. ), i got 3.8GHz with less vcore (from +337.5mV down to +262.5mV) and heat.
