hi guys, reporting in. please allow me to join the OC fun.
i am kinda new to OC, being trying blindly and bravely, and so far (touch wood) system is not dead.

as you can see from my sig. i am using Asus P5Q3 mobo with air cooling, q9300
am trying to hit 450-500 FSB, but it always need some above 1.4 Vcc which kinda make the proc hot (idle @ 52'C, load @ 65'C)

i know there is this GTLRef which can help, but i can't related the things i read which tell me +MV, % metric to my mobo. please enlighten me..

thanks!

Hey guys, I still have my Q9300, but am switching motherboards

from:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L

Hope to overclock my Q9300 higher then 415x7.5 = 3.11GHz

First time need Help! I bilt this rig from scratch. I have been using it for 1 month and got it to 2719.1Gigs and I can not get it to go past that. This is my 1st OC and I'm at a lost as to where to go from here. When I push the FSB one point higher than 1449mhz the rig locks up after win stat up.

First i wanna say it`s my second day here so hi there mates, hope to stay here for a while.

I`ve recently purchased an EVGA 780i FTW and mounted my q9300. I had a lot of trouble with it until i figure the cause.

Here is my current stable OC - hoping to go further

Cehashy

i managed to push it a bit further with the same voltage 1.32v - i reached 3.5 ghz, left it in full load for 1 day and it seems to handle it quite well. the temps are ok too i guess - mid 60`s at full load.

my only problem is that i can reach this high overclock only with my memory in linked-sync mode. if i set it on manual at 1066 i get no post ...

my next goal is to get watercooling and raise the fsb so that the memory gets at 1066 in sync mode.

Hello, im also new here. im also new to OCing, but i have managed to get my Q9300 stable @ 3.37, i can't go over it because my ram sucks bad time (some A-data 1333 Ddr3), but i will get dual kit of g-skill ripjaws (2000) tomorrow and then see if my processor can push further after that.

heloo.
I manage cu OC my q9300 cpu to 3Ghz. I have an GA-P31-DS3L mb. My cpu cooler ZEROtherm ZEN FZ120. I think i have a temp problem or a cpu wit bad sensor. Its big difeneta between the core temps. On one core had 78 C on the load. The mb sensor is reporting a good temp 48-50 C.
Can someone help me with this issue.. can i try OC further?
