I've finally worked out most of the kinks with my new Q9550 and resulting OC. I'm running an EVGA 790i Ultra mobo with the P10 BIOS. The CPU is OC'd to 3.54GHz, with a CPU Core of 1.4V, CPU FSB of 1.35V, nForce SPP of 1.45V and nForce MCP of 1.55V.
I ran Prime95 for just over 24 hours to assure stability. My temps peaked at 59C.
What I would like to know is:
Are my temps a little too high? 59 is close to 60 and that scares me a little. With the voltages bumped down a bit I had the OC go to 21 hours before an error, but the temps peaked at 53C.
I've also heard that the GTLVREF values help a lot with 9550/790i's, however I haven't the faintest idea what they do or how to go about adjust them. Currently they're all set to auto.
I'm looking to fine-tune my OC right now and bring it home and tighten everything up, and to do that I'll need a little help.
Thanks in advance.
