Hey guys am new here but thought i would post for help as the forums look quite active and you guys seem to know what your on about.
Basicly i have overclocked my Q9550 from 2.86Ghz to 3.4Ghz and i am wanting to know how i can push it further but concerned wether or not i need to start altering any NB voltages?
so far i have changed the FSB settings, cpu core voltage and ram speed (to 667mhz).
The cooler i am using is an Xigmatek HDT-S1283
my idle temps are:
35, 30, 40, 40
my load temps are:
58, 51, 56, 56
So what should i start changing? what's the max temps i should limit my cpu to? and what is the max speed i could expect to see??
p.s. my ram is OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800Mhz/PC2-6400 GOLD
