Overclocking Q9550 E0 on P5Q

[z10m]

Hi i need help with properly setting bios to get that CPU working stable @4GHz.
It boots Vista @ 4.16GHz 490FSB and is stable in orthos on small FTTs but fails on blend test after couple seconds.
Every thing is on auto except cpu voltage set to 1.3 (1.289 in cpu-z)
On mu previous cpu e6850 every thing was stable on that fsb.

2 good threads on overclocking with the P5Q range of motherboards.

First one is at Asus P5Q-E (P45) Motherboard Review

Bigger one is at ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion @ xtremesystems.org

High FSB (470+) with Quads is a lot more challenging than with Duallies. You should be able to do 4GHz with a Q9550, but it will take a little tweaking. You'll definitely want to get the voltages off Auto as these boards over volt significantly on Auto.
