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

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?

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.

Quick update: on my Vcore I've reduced it to 1.176v to drop the temps, and ran Orthos for another 9+ hours and was stable, but I forgot to take a screenshot of it :pinch:. I was just happy to see my max temps at 56-57c. I can't believe how little voltage this cpu needs, the default 1.32v seems like quite a lot. Here's the CPU-z shot:

And I thought chc was the only guy with a Core 2 Extreme on the forums. I guess I was wrong! :p

Not until I get a QX9770 or something.

But anyways, this is the lazy way of doing it. Increasing the multiplier. :p

I dropped it from 4GHz since it wasn't worth the extra volts. Mine is ES as you can see, but this one is complete junk when it comes to overclocking -- can't do 4GHz until 1.43V.

Processor - Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650

I've pulled way better OCs before, but this is good enough heh. I think I am going to get the new OCZ Flex II soon, the Striker II NSE reverses the RAM orientation and it looks ugly in my case :x

only thing i'm kinda worried about is temps

i just put a new heatsink in. i've read that it takes time for the thermal paste to set (or cure?) and i can see a drop in temps of ~5 degrees?

You're fine, most people define 15?C-20?C under Tjmax as being safe. Desktop Wolfdale Tjmaxes are 95?C.

yayuh first 500 FSB posting. That's good enough right now for the FSB submission.

I'll have both of you guys added in a few minutes.

I don't think there's a difference in overclocking across different OS' though.

The only difference is that some 64bit users might be running 4GB of RAM.

But otherwise I think it's more dependent on the chipset and cooling.

1.38 V-Core (Set to Auto in Bios because it isn't stable for some reason if it isn't)

Stock Intel Box Cooler (Air)

Gigabyte P35-DS3L Rev. 2.0 With F7 Bios

Windows Vista Business x64

Kingston KVR667D2K2/2GR (2GB of RAM) and Kingston KVR667D2N5K2/2G (Other 2GB of RAM)

Both 2GB Kits of RAM are 667MHz (PC2 5300)

The stock latencies are 5-5-5-15, but I have them running at 5-4-4-15 at 792MHz

Stable with prime95 for 12 hours. The temps hover around 60 degrees celsius when running prime 95 after a couple of hours, so I think I'm ok temperature-wise.

...

Remember to include CPU-Z screenshot of CPU, Mainboard and Memory tabs.

As well you forgot to include what speed your CPU is overclocked to.

Check CrashGordon's post on the first page for an example of how it should be formatted. :)

I was just about to do the same thing. :p

@Citrusleak: Also, a screenshot of Orthos or Prime95 for 8+ hours would be nice too. :)

@Gwai: can you update my Vcore to 1.176v?

@Gwai: can you update my Vcore to 1.176v?

Actually, don't do it quite yet. I had run Orthos for 9+ hours the other day and it was fine (but forgot a screenshot), so today I was going to rerun it, and it doesn't seem to be stable. I get an "This Program has encountered a problem and must close" or something in Orthos, although everything else is fine. It's almost like DEP kicked in and shut it down, although unlikely, but it's the same type of error box. I'm doing some more investigating to try and pinpoint if it's the voltage or just Orthos. I'm trying 1.192v now. I will remember to make a screenshot this time if all goes well. ;)

I'm pretty sure it's voltage. I had that happen to my Pentium D when I undervolted it a bit too much.

I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Also, it would fluctuate between 1.180 and 1.176 at idle, under load it would stay at 1.176. All other voltages i've tried it stays steady. It looks like 1.192 is going to be what works. It'll keep the temps at 38/58 (min/max) so that's 35c+ below tjunction max of 95c. I've got a build to do for the wife in a few weeks, so I might be able to sneak a ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro in there along with my new Acer V223Wbd Black 22" monitor. :shifty:

EDIT: Sorry I forgot some information before. It won't let me edit my last post.

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
