Hey bro, thks for the tip. Did my Q9505 at 3612.5MHz on FSB 425MHz. Will be trying to push it further this weekend to see whether it'll hit 4GHz. Must I need to run Prime to see for stability? Thks in advance.

@geraldlkc You dont "need" to run prime, but it is an efficient way to 'stress test' your system as you can keep loading it up until each core is running a process and thereby achieve 99-100% CPU usage.

During this I would watch the temperature ( your motherboard should have come with a bit of software to monitor the temps in windows).

The small suggestion I have is to clock the fastest u can get, then go back maybe 150mhz so ur not right on the edge.

What's the name of the song playing in the background bro? It's beautiful!

cool... and now my question. i got an asus p5q deluxe. can i still use your tutorial? or better i'd not?

[Babyalien83]

it will come pretty close. try going for 3.5Ghz to start with and only push if you feel comfortable

wow voltages on auto omg. Your Board overvolted. have fun.

[dred770]

what cpu fan are u useing please tell me

[sunriseafterstorm]

What a retard to leave voltages on auto .. and tell others to do so =)))

[swires86]

can i do the same with p5q pro? :D

[SeaTolli22]

Great job on the overclock.

@Apfitt Well i asked on the nvidia website,(before you read on,i did not build this pc, i bought it used in craigslist)and they said my board does not 100% support the yorkfield cpu's even with a bios update,and the ram i had been running was 2x2gb ddr2 1066 patriot viper,but is atuomaticly ran at @ 800mhz by the mobo because the mobo only 800mhz stock,but i have now in it,a q6600,and 2x2gb ddr2 800mhz coasir XMS2,and i can only get it mostly stable at 3.2ghz,but can't go higher cause of my PSU.

[Apfitt]

@trainergames Try updating your bios to latest version, many motherboards needed updates when 45nm cpus came to s775. Then check your ram sticks speeds, that all the sticks have the same brand. mixing brands etc is never good

[trainergames]

@Apfitt i tried that lol,i got all the way up to 1.3625V,trying to get it stable,but when i set to that my rig would get stuck on the mobo makers splash screen,and i would have to reset the bios,but i have now found out the problems that are keeping me from being able to overclock, one,the q9450 is not supported on the 680i board(it's not stable at stock either),i have switched to a q6600 i have lying around,but now i can't overclock it cause my psu is a POS,

[Apfitt]

@trainergames you have to push more vcore

[trainergames]

lol i can't even get my q9450 to overclock to 3.2ghz stably,i have mine running on a 680i lt sli motherboard,and i have a closed system luqid cooling system.

Ty for help, I'm a total noob. I'm trying to overclock my Q8300 @ 2.5 GHz to at least 3 GHz so I can get higher performance for BOINC applications.
