^ Is this the second q9550 youve had? or should I delete that other run at 4.3GHZ, for some reason I have you up twice.

Dont I just bring the over clock out of people haahahahaa.
*EDIT*Updated my signature. Im thinking whats limiting me is my RAM or p45, but maybe it has hit a little fsb wall and i need to pump some voltage into it to go further. I bet i can do 4.7-4.8Ghz with 1.7volts into this thing and break a record if it aint my RAM or motherboard.

HOLY DAM I found this program called setFSB which let me tweak the fsb just by single digits, and this is what I got

3volvedcombat||q9550||4630Mhz||Corsair H50 P&P

This q9550 I can hands down say is golden lucky. :toast::toast::toast:

23rd highest over clock on HWbot.org

the damn luck of the draw! i still fear my q9550 to be a bum chip. it only undervolts to 1.176 on 3.4 ghz:ohwell:
how low should i be able to go, to call it a "golden" one? :)
(cant clock higher atm... stupid mobo -.-)

Ive got a new high

it took a 1.56volts from 1.44volts to get 5 more Mhz. LOL!!!!!!
I wont brag about 5Mhz much but its enough.
That puts my 28th on list from 30th. Ill just leave it at this im prowd i got a crazy clocker, but bummed at the voltage needed for that dam increase >.<

No its the clock above that makes it a golden one. 28th highest overclock in the world now, so its a little special :).
And well this chip does 3.4Ghz under 1.1volts never tried it. But i guess around 1.088volts for this chip or lower for 3.4Ghz, (been overclocking alot) so i know exactly how this processor acts and voltages and speeds it will be stable at :D

i believe my board also isnt the best choice for an overclocker. not very many mosfets, only 3-4 chokes on 2 sides.p43... i cant even see, how nice mine is :laugh:

also, its only a cheap tower cooler on it, with just 4 small heatpipes.not water, like for you ;-)

Is there a 3.8 Ghz club? I like to take it slow and easy at 100% workload.
