First thing you should do is read this, overclocking guide second thing you need to do is get a better cooling solution stock cooling is ok but only meant for stock speeds. Once you have done this then get back to us. Thing is every system is different and every over clock is as well.

Thanks for your quick reply. Can you please tell me which changing I need in BIOS, according to motherboard and processor which I got. I want to go as high as I can.

Thanks

As quite a few Q9550's differ, start with using AthlonX2's suggestion as a base (that's actually a very good base might I add) and you can either tweak voltages or keep it there and see how much further of an fsb you can get.

like Jr said, not all Q9550 are the same. What settings may work for one Q9550, may not work for another Q9550. It would be best for you to read though the guide that trickson posted a link to before you actually try to OC your computer.

you can go the old fashioned route and bump the fsb by 2's go into windows run 10 passes of IBT until it fails and then add more cpu volts. you shouldnt need nb volts until you get over ~370
