my latest try for 12 hours small fft

Nice overclock w good temperature.
PL value?

-pWs-

lol... i lazy wana go tweak ram yet... later la....

i just leave the PL @ auto

ada effect one ka?

PL important oh. Tight = More performance.

-pWs-

oo...i tot u are talking about PL affecting my proc stability

no worries i'll make it like a virgin later when i am free

The core2Quad and core2duo have same board right? cause might upgrade from E6850 to Q9550 next week..

ya...they are both 775 socket so it shud be able to support....

just u might wana check whether ur bios will have issues with the new proc....

go to the official web of the mobo and check for details

Can say it that way also bro.
Too tight might cause instability.

-pWs-

hmm.... u kinda right too....

but auto shud be fine for the mean time......

No update ke bro?
Stable d?

What's the (ES) mean in the end of your CPU specification?

Extremely Special

Hi guys, I'm new to OC-ing so I have a few questions that hopefully you guys can help me with. I'm using a Q9550 processor and I intend to OC the FSB from stock to 400MHz. What I understand from doing a bit of reading on the net is that the Q9550 can handle that quite easily, is that right?

Also, if I OC the FSB to 400Mhz but reduce the multiplier to 7.5 to get to 3000MHz, does that reduce the stress and heat on the processor?

I'm doing this because I have 2 x 2GB OCZ PC2 8000 Platinum which I am trying to use at it's rated frequency of 1000MHz but the only way to do that is to OC the FSB of the processor since it doesn't have EPP. The motherboard I'm using is Gigabyte EP45-UD3L.

I've so far tried bumping the FSB to 400MHz and leaving the multiplier at 8.5 i.e. 3.40GHz, which puts my RAM at 960MHz. My PC boots fine and works but I've noticed that the fan runs at a higher speed when I play blu-ray videos (I guess that puts the processor close to full load). If I don't OC and have my processor at 2.83GHz stock speed, the fan doesn't run as fast while playing the same blu-ray video.

As you might guess, the fan noise is a little annoying, which is why I'm wondering whether reducing the multiplier to get 3.00GHz would help reduce the heat and hopefully mean the fan doesn't go full speed.

are u sure that the fan speed came from cpu cooler and not gpu?
i think ur OC is safe..

no problem bro..
im set all to auto in bios..
running 400mhz on full load then back to 333 normal..

I'm pretty sure because when I am not OC-ing and watching the same blu-ray show, the fan doesn't speed up. If I do OC, then after awhile I will hear the fan speed up.

Reseat heatsink and change the thermal paste
Then try to use IBT and heat up your cpu for 20loops or so so you can know the stability and cure in your thermal paste at the same time

a little small try from me..

idle temp at 48~ 50..
full load 65~67...

Stock cooling?

-pWs-

yes..
now still thinking which cooler to buy..
really have no idea..
now thinking of prolimatech megahalems,cm v10,thermalright IFX 14
