Q9550 and Abit p35

Sly0ne11 · 5 Nov 2015 at 18:33

Currently my Q9550 is clocked at 3.4ghz.
Bios says 1.2775 but CPU-Z says 1.248

Is this an ok voltage for running all the time ?

Temps get about 52c running benchmarks atm

Hi and welcome to the forums.

Yes that's fine. My old Q9550 used to run at 4.13Ghz with 1.325v and nothing bad happened to it. It does seem a bit high for only 3.4Ghz though. Mine did 3.6Ghz on stock voltage.

well at stock bois of 1.2375 cpu-z says 1.023 so a lot of droop

That could be Intel speedstep lowering the vcore when your PC is idle.

My old 9550 did 3.8 @ 1.31v
