Which model of Xigmatek? I'm running 400FSB at 1.175v for my q9450@3.2Ghz and 1.05v for stock speed using Asus P5Q Deluxe. Lower voltage is cooler. Maybe you can try that first.

No problems for me at 3.2Ghz@1.175v for Q9450. My chipset usually idles around 35-38C. It only goes 40C on hot weather. I only messed around with processor bus speed, CPU voltage and set the RAM to my Corsair specified setting which is 1066mhz@2.1v 5-5-5-15. The rest is auto.
Maybe it's your motherboard. |

QUOTE(rsangel @ Dec 18 2009, 01:16 PM) Well, in my bios I'm screwing around with DFI Lanparty JR P45-TS2R and seems like this motherboard requires more voltage to overclock. The chipset is hotter than Asus P5Q Deluxe and I have to slap a Evercool 40mm fan on it to help with the cooling. I've checked other websites that you need 1.45-1.55v for the northbridge to achieve 1600mhz or higher FSB.

Ouch. 70C is hot. Try lowering your voltage and clock or upgrade your heatsink. I'm targetting max temperature of 60C for mine.

My setting is stable right now for DFI Lanparty P45-TS2R. Messing with CPU GTL will raise CPU Vcore. CPU Vcore will automatically go 1.23v to 1.25v with my current settings too. Stock Vcore can go 3.2Ghz for Q9450.

Bleh, 3.2Ghz is more than enough for me. I know WC can lower the temp more but it's not needed yet. I will only go WC when I do extreme oc.

One Coolermaster 90CFM(fake 90cfm) in front of the heatsink, one Silverstone FM123 on the casing exhaust fan plus CM 90CFM on top exhaust is good enough. My casing exhaust fan is right behind the heatsink.

Yeah, single fan is good enough. Only a slight difference if you add one or two more on it.

QUOTE(rsangel @ Dec 26 2009, 12:09 PM) Thxs tristanX, may i know what's ur Temps on ur Q9450@3.2ghz on IFX? This is my current setting for 400FSB with 800mhz 4-4-4-12 for RAMi'm using IFX with 1 FM123, stock clock 2.66ghz, min avr 44, load some cores can reach 60c, the chipset is >60c already lol how u mount the 40mmfan on the cipset bro? can show me some pics? Voltage Settings CPU VID Special Add……+12.5mV DRAM Voltage Control……2.000V SB Core/CPU PLL Voltage……1.52V NB Core Voltage……1.2825V CPU VTT Voltage……1.16V Vcore Droop Control……Enabled Clockgen Voltage Control……3.45V CPU GTL 0/2 REF Volt……0.67x CPU GTL 1/3 REF Volt……0.67x North Bridge GTL Ref Volt……0.63x Core idles at 45C and load on 58-60C max. Chipset is 46C max. Those temperatures you have is probably because of your casing or environment. Don't really need pics and I don't have a camera, just use cable ties on the fan screw holes and slip it inbetween the heatsink fins. That will prevent it from moving for my chipset heatsink on my motherboard. Different motherboard have different settings. It may not work for yours.

It could be your motherboard. My Q9450 can go 3.2Ghz at 1.175v for Asus P5Q Deluxe motherboard. For DFI DK P45-T2RS, I have to use 400/400 and this setting:

QUOTE(takercena @ Jan 11 2010, 04:33 PM) I am thinking that my motherboard is not capable enough for overclocking q9550. I will try this weekend by increasing all voltage except SB to 1.3x. Maybe I should increase SB to 1.55. It seems that after I disable C1E and EIST, the freezing issue is still not solved. The way i tested it is by downloading a file then go back to login screen by pressing switch user. The quality of the motherboard affects overclocking. What is your full spec including the power supply? |

QUOTE(takercena @ Jan 12 2010, 11:45 AM) Q9550 Your spec looks fine. I never used Abit boards before but try raising northbridge voltage a bit with your OC settings.Abit IP35-e 1 stick Apacer 2GB DDR2 800 @5-5-5-15 //I don't know how to play with ram timing so i leave it auto Enermax Liberty 500W Nvidia 9600gt I think that's it |

QUOTE(takercena @ Jan 14 2010, 08:35 PM) Finally I am thinking that my system is stable for now: Since that is stable, you can try lowering your CPU Vcore. Try at 1.25v, then slowly reduce it to 1.175(maybe 1.23, 1.22, 1.21 down to 1.175 or 1.18). Stop undervolting when it's unstable and use the best voltage you can get. Your processor will run cooler.CPU VCore = 1.3350v DDR2 Voltage = 1.85v CPU VTT = 1.275 MCH = 1.330 from 1.250 GTLREF = 67.0% And Windows Xp doesn't need more than 2 GB ram i think  |
