and now with the Q9550 it seems Kinda harder to overclock it with my P5Q deluxe..!

Could u help me...?

thanks in advance,

Are all your ram timmings set? voltage set? Start by dropping your ram freq down a notch and start pushing the cpu freq up 5/10mhz at a time untill it bsod or won't boot then bump up the vcore one notch and boot. Test with prime95 or occt and keep an eye on those temps. Throw up some screenies of cpu-z main, memory, spd.

Q9550 is very easy to overclock with P5Q Deluxe.

Try my settings for 4ghz OC

CPU multi: 8.5
FSB: 471

CPU Vcore: 1.2875v
CPU GTL ref (0/2): .67
CPU GTL ref (1/3): .69
CPU PLL: 1.56
FS Termination: 1.26
DRAM volt: depends on your RAM
NB volt: 1.24
NB GTL ref: .65
SB volt: 1.10
PCIE volt: 1.50
LLC: enabled
CPU spectrum: disabled
PCIE spectrum: disabled

Sorry about the delay, I had to step out to buy some medicine; I'm sick


Well to start things off, seems your Vcore is a bit high (what is your goal speed?)
For increased stability you may want to look over this guide to set your GTL per lane:

Other than that, I'm not sure about your mobo so I can't really say what the voltages should be on the NB & SB.
Hope this helps

my Goal Speed is 4.0Ghz

Well, try to either increase the CPU voltage or lower the FSB. You'll have to overclock in small steps, each CPU OC'es different. And what programs do you use for stress testing?
Hi
it could be your nb voltage try to bump it up, i think 1.3 volts is default , high clock speed with 4 gb of ram , nb will need a maybee 1.4v .
freezing in windows could be your memory.
hope this helps
