HI.. i'm noob here.. Just entered overclock in last 5 days...
I am using CORE 2 QUAD Q9650 3.0 , ASUS P5P43TD PRO, TEAM XTREEM DARK DDR3 1600 2X2GB...
Although i'm new here i could manage OCed to 3.6Ghz stable in 3 hours prime95 without any errors all 4 cores.. this is my setting in BIOS AI TWEAKER..
CPU Ratio Setting: 9.0
FSB Frequency:400
DRAM Frequency: 1333
PCIE Frequency:100
CPU Voltage:1.268
Others is AUTO
Temperature idle:50c
Temperature Load:60c
Cooled by: Cooler Master TX3 2 fans

My questions:
1. Is it Normal my temperature? since my brother using same proc & Heatsink @ 3.6GHZ in P5K PRO his temp only 46c in idle and 54 in load
2. Is it good setting since many setting in my AI Tweaker is Auto?
3. How i can OCed to 4.0Ghz (444x9.0)? Since i googled so many times searching how to set up it, most of them using P45 mobo such as P5Q deluxe and Maximus II Formula.. trying using those setting, but FAILED as ALWAYS... My system just can not enter the bios (blank screen) when i setting it at those setting..your help will be appreciated.

thanks for replying me for FOC hehe ... anyway.. forgot to say i'm using pc probe to read the temperature..
for number 3, i will try first test an error.

yeah.. my previous mobo Gigabyte 945p-ds3 does not support fsb 1333.. i ended buying p43 chipset which support ddr3 because cheaper ram. rather than buying p45.
