prolimatech megahalems n ifx-14 is a better choice... v10 is just overhyped just because of their "TEC" which cools the heatpipes rather than the processor itself -___-

Agreed w iBenq.

hello.. jus asking.. whats the bios settings for q9550 @ 3.4ghz is recommended??

the one i wanna know is


cpu vcore
cpu term
cpu pll
mch

and other settings that are relevant for a stable 24/7 pc

for the start.. just raise ur fsb slowly..
no one can tell coz all setup different..
test it out n report.. we'll give some suggestions..

hey, any ideas on why after overclocking to 3.4ghz (400x8.5) the computer can run stably for very long.. even after burning on intelburntest for 20 loops.. den when shutdown, leave for few hours, den on com, can pass POST but then goin to load windows, the com restarts n bios change bak to stock settings (333x8.5).

restart all ok, oni when shutdown n left for few hours..

did u check ur ram voltage?

and u shud try adding a lil bit of NB voltage and then Vfsb....

try to set ur performance level (trd) of ram to 10 and make sure all loose timing....

I managed 8*400 on my X3350 C1 using 1.2V vcore (default 1.1875V) and everything else at normal voltages, using a UD3R. Even on a EP35-DS3 I only needed 1.225V vcore, rest all normal. I think you just need higher vcore only.

Your idle temp is quite high. What cooler you using?

i thought he mentioned stock cooling..

Hai....want to ask...
anyone here know whats the probs with my system ?
i cant oc my q9400 at all...
got bsod when i try to..


bsod > " irql not less or equal"....(win xp)

Sorry dude. But a question for u.. did u know how to OC? If not then learn more and try again until u sucessfully make your OCed PC stable.
Tip for you, increase the FSB slowly and test for stability for each increment, increase the voltage when necessary, keep the memory timing loose....

Overclocking updates


Settings
Vcore - 1.325V
VTT - 1.34V
NB - 1.28V
mem - 2.14V
PLL - 1.52
LLC Enabled
Else all settings are on Auto
Full Load - 93C (TRUE)

yo!

waaa all here 4Ghz Quaddie Overclocker ka ...

how can i join ma...i never pass 3.8ghz ...

tat bsod as for my experience means ram problem.. might be insufficient voltage etc etc..

Added on August 12, 2009, 5:52 pmhey.. your max temp is super high?? arent u afraid?? 90++.. way way over the safe q9550 recommended max temp..
iirc the max safe temp for q9550 is 80C..

Nop. Coz i'd reached 100C with 1.35V @4.10 GHZ .. no problem... this is IBT stress. So the temperature is higher. During Prime95 the temperature @80C+ full load
Anyway, i wouldnt recommend anyone running their proc with the temperature that high daily either.

Note: That overclocking attempt... It's not rock solid stable. Trust me. Passed 25 loops IBT and prime95 small fft for 3hours but failed prime95 mid~large FFT (blend) within 3 minutes.
Probably need extra vmem and vnb and couple of tweaks.... will attempt to make it stable if i have a time to do it....
The only rock solid stable clock for my processor w/ P5Q Deluxe is @3.70GHz which is the sweet spot (less vcore/low FSB/low load temp @80C IBT/super rock stable) of the proc. Running 24/7 now.

@kilowatt
Relax dude... just don't give up. Your ASUS M2F is a good motherboard.... Give a bit more try(depend on your OCing skill)... I'm sure you will reach your targeted clock (of course it must be realistic clock).

wow.. 4.10Ghz.. tats very very fast.. haha.. did u do any benchmark test?? pcmark vantage?? wats the score.. with that high clock speed, i think can get very high performance score.. haha

worait! ...but b4 OC to 4ghz wanna find better cooler 1st...maybe WC hehe...

coz i run LinX oc'ed to 3.7ghz..only pass 1 run coz i dont dare to see the temp...soo high like hell it reached to 90++ ...

guys, can ep45-ds3 paired with x3320?

yup bro...i think there's no problem to EP45-DS3 support that proc..

coz thats is 775soc proc n mobo...

anyone using P35-ds3r with x3320??
can it function?
