What's the highest clock speed Q9550 can hit on stock voltage?

hivebattleii · Aug 15, 2008

Hello. This is my first post at techpowerup.

I am building a new rig consisted of

Q9550
P5Q pro
8GB ram ( ddr2 800mhz )
Sun beam core contact cooler

I know the answer can be somewhat subjective but
what is the general highest clock speed Q9550 can hit on stock voltage?

I am looking forward oc' ing it to 3.2 and underclock the ram or
oc it all the way up to 3.4 so i can have 1:1.

I believe, and Im not an intel expert or anything, that those speeds you mentioned should be achievable on stock voltage. 3.4 shouldnt be a problem. However, someone more knowing of intel chips could probably answer more solidly than I

The standard Q6600 is good to at least 3GHZ on stock voltage, so I would imagine that the Q9550 would do the same or better.

Welcome to TPU BTW :toast:

You don't need 8GB RAM...

The default clock on the CPU is 2.83GHz? 3.4GHz easy I should think.
