Thanks for posting that one so much! I am planning on putting a Q9450 in my rig next month! I hoping for similar results to you, at least 3.2ghz.

Looks like this thread is ALREADY proving to be useful

I'm testing my E6550 @ 3.0GHz right now (429x7), ram is at the same FSB (x2 for DDR) with no change in timings or voltage on anything. It's looking very good so far, temps are no more than they were at 2.8 (Max. 58-59c) on the stock cooler. I'll post the results when Orthos finishes it's 8 hours or when I wake up tomorrow morning.

How can you spend that much money on a processor and not overclock the crap out of it?

I won it, my motherboard doesn't like high front side buses, I like an "auto" multiplier so on idle it clocks down, and I don't *need* more....yet

Someday I might really try to go for more, but 3.4 sounded good.

What?!? Seems like I'm entering the wrong sweepstakes because everybody is winning hardware but me.

Where from?

Don't worry too much about getting a high overclock, it's not a show off thread, just information. In this case the vcore used is still information for those looking for some numbers to compare to. So this is for everyone else holding off because they don't think they're clocked high enough...we just want numbers. Any of them are good.

I'll have you added by tomorrow afternoon, I have work at 6AM till 2 or 3 PM.

edit: hah I know what you're talking about. Mine aren't titration though, but stress/strain.

I tell you what, my engineering apps are f***ing fast now. Excel is much improved too, so I can do graphs with thousands of data points....I'm such a nerd.

Yeah I've done a few of those, they getting pretty bad. I think the computer took readings every 5 miliseconds when we rode bikes around campus measuring the stress/strain on the frame. I thought excel or my computer was going to die.

This thread will probably prove to be extremely useful. I guess even if the clocks aren't high, people can at least see what was "stable".

I guess you can update my Mobo entry too, nothing other than the FSB has changed (429MHz)

Sometimes I do not believe it myself.

gwai lo: I noticed you're running 480FSB, were you able to run your RAM at a 1:1 ratio?

I haven't overclocked my OCZ Plat Rev 2 yet so I'm not sure how high I can go. 240MHz seems like a pretty large overclock when it comes to RAM.

Or do you have your RAM watercooled as well?

[+gwai lo]

Yeah it was 1:1, but not on water. Just an 80mm fan blowing over the DIMMs and the NB...however I can't find my screenshot and I can't seem to get it stable again (might be the heat right now..dunno). So I'm going to remove the entry, but yeah these sticks did pretty good.
