Hi guys,
I currently have the processor running at 4 Ghz, but being the performance hog that I am (and jealous of the i7 speeds) wish to aim for a higher overclock. Now I take my current knowledge of overclocking with a grain of salt, as it is probably far from experienced, and probably happened on 4ghz by sheer luck. My fsb is currently running at 471mhz, although anything higher seems to hit an fsb wall (i.e i can make it post and enter windows, but massive instability). I've read about fsb holes, but not sure about what that is? (anything to do with setting the pci-e to 105? 'Cause i've already attempted that.)
Here's my current rig:
CPU: Intel Q9550
Mobo: ASUS P5Q Deluxe with 2001 bios
GFX: 4870X2 Powercolor
PSU: Toughpower? 850w
RAM: 2x2gb GSkill F2-8500CL5 PI @ 5-4-4-12 991mhz
Overclock settings for 4.2Ghz:
FSB: 495
FSB strap: auto
RAM mhz: 991mhz
CPU voltage: 1.3675v
CPU GTL (0/2): 0.675
CPU GTL (1/3): 0.680
CPU PLL: 1.54v
FSB termination: 1.4v
DRAMv: 2.1v
NBvoltage: 1.4v
NB GTL reference: 0.66
SBvoltage: 1.1v
Loadline calibration: enabled
CPU spread: disabled
PCIE spread: disabled
CPU enhancement: performance
Any tips at all? Appreciated it. Thx.
