How much vCore??

-pWs-

hmmm i tried overvolting a bit my chip... using 1.4v to obtain 3.33GHz... bootable but only 1 little problem... it will boot till windows only... then hang.... lol... i got no idea what's wrong ad... haha any1 got any ideas?? lol

Q9450 @ 438 x 8 = 3500Ghz 1.22v primed 10 hours stable

handpicked ka?

why ur proc so good one? my ex needs 1.45v bios to do 3.6 stable

No leh, i just simply bought this from pinpinmao. I think it's so so only ler. I tried pushing it to 3.6ghz. but can't seem to boot into windows at 1.29v. i didn't dare to put it over 1.3v, as my cooling is not so good and more over, i'm not in an air con room. tkh bro, how much vcore can u achieve if u do 3.5ghz? can u still remember?

hmm...mine ka....around 1.4v maybe...cant really remember already lolz....

just push more vcore n see how loh.... really nice proc u have there with 1.15v on load

Surpirsingly, I oc back my q9300.
I can do 3454MHz at 1.2160v stable (after vDrop & vDroop).

Last time, 3508MHz at 1.3120v stable.

May I know will a PSU causing this weird scenario??

-pWs-

burn in liao ? lolz

mine can do 4.1ghz with 1.24v but need 1.32v to reach 4.2ghz stable

same goes for my Q9450, after tkh_1001 bro asked me to try pushing my Q9450 to 3.6ghz, so i thought i will give it a try.

currently doing 3.5ghz @ 1.22v happily
however if 3.6Ghz must raise all the way to 1.37v!! the temperature automatically shoot up by extra 9c overall!!

xeon 3320 user reporting in but noob in OC
someone can pin point me to get to 3.3 and using FSB 440? any other settings i need to set?

increase your fsb voltage a little and give it a go.

so now i need to adjust the fsb, voltage only? how bout the memory multiplier? i remember adjusting something on my previous proc

hmmm.... what if u adjust ur gtl settings?

erm...just add vcore first... if adding vcore any higher wont give u stability then only u start adding vtt or vnb.....

then adjust ur memory to run at 1:1

basically u need a try to look for stability by increasing 0.5ghz at a time (preferably)... not terus jump to 3.3ghz... this way u will know roughly how much vcore u need for every settings

Oh and sorry that we have ignored ur question. No, definitely not ur psu. Not for ur corsair at least. Corsair 620w psu is currently the most reliable and stable efficiency psu in the market. Saw ur rig's specs, i would say is the proc's limitation as well as mobo's setting. Have u played with the rest of the setting?

No bro.
Before this, I was using Acbel 450w.

-pWs-

so how about now? has changing your psu made any difference to oc'ing your Q9300?

Seem like no difference. Now happy w 3380MHz w 100mV added.

How much ur vCore?

My bad.. had to wait for my new graphics card to arrive only can SS..



Vcore in BIOS: 1.368V
vMCH: 1.264v
vFSB: 1.296
GTL1: 0.67
GTL2: 0.69
MCH GTL: 0.64
CPU PLL: 1.6

Cant seem to lower vcore even by one notch..
