PS: I had to change the cooler of the Coolermaster Hyper TX2 of adding another 92mm to improve the flow of air and reduce the temperature (36 in stock, 72 full load).

Hey man, what version BIOS are you running? I see you're running Windows 7 64 Bit.

You guys are (obviously) a lot smarter than I is.....so I will ask my questions.
Q9550 on a P5Q3 / 1600mhz Corsair XMS DDR3 memory / 750Watt PS / EVGA GTX260 Video Card.
CPU Spread Spectrum - Disabled
PCI Spread Spectrum - Disabled
C1E support - Disabled
Memory - 1600mhz
EVERYTHING else - AUTO
(all from reading this forum - Thank you!) System runs fine with XP32 or 64.

Question: Should I be putting any voltages anywhere ?

I'm to the system running at peak efficiency.

Thanks

hey guys i would like to overclock my system, but i have never done it before, i checked out the bios on my computer and the ai tweaker page, is that where i overclock? i turned off auto and switched to manual to check out the settings, but then i got scared and put it back to auto. I really want to overclock my system though but im not sure what to change, please help me.

Yep the AI tweaker is where you overclock. Try changing it to manual and increase the front side bus a little bit and boot into Windows. You can't mess anything up as long as you don't change the cpu voltage to like 2V or something

[dann09]

ok so all i need to do is increase the fsb? im gonna restart my computer and check out the settings that are on default and ill report back with the numbers.

[dann09]

got it working, im now at 3.69GHz and i did some stress testing and so far everything seems good, ill continue later and hopefully everything will be fine. thanks for the help guys.

Hi all

That's fine. Mine used to hit 60C under load, but that was only when I was seeing how high I could go with my overclock. As long as it doesn't go over 55 you should be fine

that's kinda high....how much voltage are you pumping to the northbridge???

what's your case and how is your airflow???

i'm currently having my Northbridge @1.3v and i have high ambients usually 35c and my motherboard temps don't go over 41 under blend test...
