It's been a while sine I overclocked my qx9650, so I figured what the hell let's do it! So, all I am doing is increasing the multiplier and CPU voltage correct? I have my memory timings set and speed of RAM set to DDR3-1066MHz.
Currently, i'm at 3.66Ghz (333MHz x 11) with voltage set at 1.31V and i keep failing blend test in Prime95 within the first two minutes, or at least one thread fails. Is there something that I am doing wrong, because the max voltage is 1.3625V for my CPU and I am slowly creeping up to that without even going near 4GHz.
Side note:: Is there a way to turn off the downclocking the CPU does when idle in the BIOS? I wasn't sure exactly which option it was in the BIOS and didn't want to touch anything.
