my latest test for my Q9550.




Will try 4GHz later.

hehe thanx jy14 the temps are good? nice to hear that.i thought the temps a bit crazy btw, im using corsair xms2 dhx pc-6400 4GB kit.

before this,i use older real temp version, and they do give very different reading from core temp. i think maybe bcoz of TJ Max.not sure.

but now,i download the latest version for both software already. real temp 3.07. core temp 0.99.4.huhu.

for ram,i hope i can have one dominator kit lol. =x

no money atm

btw,is it normal to have the 1st core having higher temps than other 3 cores?

hey guys.
The pic below showing my rig's OC atm.



the problem is i cant seem to get my proc higher than 3.6GHz (425x8.5). The highest i reach before is 450x8.5 = 3.8GHz using 2x2GB 800MHz RAM. now i upgraded to 2x2GB 1006MHz. but the RAM cant even reach 900MHz. =.=" i tried using proc's stock speed (333x8.5) and set ram multiplier to 333/1066 get it to 1066MHz.but then it didnt even post lol.

i already sent for replacement n got new one. but the prob is still the same. i checked already my RAM that it does support my mobo. what seems to be the main probs here? mobo? ram?

ps - the setting i get now is the best i can get atm.huhu.when i tried to increase the fsb a little, BSOD attacked while loading windows.hoho.

Any comments and solution is highly appreciated.thanks

of course.i put it 5-5-5-15.i actually dont know what else should i tweak with the ram except the frequency speed n timing.i already set the voltage to 2.1v as stated by the manual.should actually be no problem reaching 1066MHz with the voltage.but cannot instead.aiseh.huhu

yup. already updated the mobo with the latest bios..

for Performance Level, right now i put 10.seems to be stable.but when OC more, even at 12 also cannot..

and for the tRFC, i havent change anything yet. but im not sure which option is the tRFC.

eh sry.i think i now what tRFC means lol. but mine is already high.52.huhu.

@hellokitty,wow, the temps are great.ur using water cooling? nice one.

btw...yes! finally i know why. i had to disable T2 dispatch in bios.now i can reach over 1000MHz! im so happy.haha.

ooh really? ic..yeah maybe. i googled for the overcolcking guide for dfi mobo.most of them disabled it.huhu.but at the moment, i didnt have any 2x1GB ram..
anyway,gonna try for higher fsb now for my Q9550 since ram is not an issue now.hehe.will post here if ever i got highest one i can achieve.

wah nice one there.low voltage for vcore and others too.wish i could reach 475MHz for my Q9550

actually bro, that mobo is not very good for overclocking. i heard other users of that mobo also complain about OC i had one before.so hard to reach 400MHz even for E8400 of course overclocking option is sufficient but the capability isn't. or maybe because im just noob in OC haha In the end i changed to P45 mobo which is as stated in my signature.

well, its a good budget mobo.got all the good features u need (except lack of CF ) good mobo with mild OC.

btw, good luck with OCing ur proc with other mobo later ToddStarz.
