9650 oc advice

[GJ02]

Im after some advice please on q9650 oc using p5q pro board

Im looking for a base to start, volts, multi, fsb etc
running it on air with tuniq tower 120 extreme

Just general advice really if possible

 

[j.jarman]

personally i would use the chip's default multiplier, rather than a lower one.

Max voltage 1.35-1.37v (not sure about vtt and pll on 45nm chips).

Have a quick read on gtl ref volts too.

pll max should be 1.6v, but check after you set a value by going back into bios and looking at the system health/monitor (whatever it's called on your mobo).

vtt you shouldn't really go above 1.3v

As above: PLL 1.6 (although try to run lower than this)
VTT 1.3 (i run mine at 1.33)
Vcore no more than 1.4 (esp as your on air)

i take it that clocking a quad is different from a dual ?
all ive ever changed with my 8500 is vcore and dram volts
VTT ?
PLL ?
