Q9550 on Asus P5N-D OC question.

[jujuman]

Hi All,

Having some major frustration trying to get this 9550 to OC (Revision E0, Stepping A)

So far a can get to 3.2Ghz on stock voltages.

Tried upping the Vcore and NB voltages for 3.4Ghz, booted, but failed at Windows load.

Rig:

Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
Asus P5N-D mobo
Q9550 Rev E0, Stepping A
Arctic Cooler Pro 7
4x1GB Geil ddr800 (4-4-4-12)
Evga 8800 Ultra SC
Hiper M 630 PSU
Optariac DVDRW
Maxtor HDD 120gb x2

What is the safe limit for the voltages? Which do I increase first, Vcore or NB, or both?

Any others with similar rigs, please can you advise.

Thanks a lot.
