GOT IT! the temps are getting a little high now. i don't want to go over where its at, what voltages effect CPU temp the most? ill see if i can work the temps back down to about 58C full load.
19% INCREASE FROM STOCK 3.00GHZ BENCH!

The 70s are just fine...
Vcore is the main factor in temperatures of the cpu.
You can also screenshot instead of taking pictures of the screen. Hit prt-scn button, paste into paint, crop as needed, save and host here. Or hit alt+prt-scnn.com to get the active window.

Probably not, ddr2 can handle 2.1v and your ram has heat sinks on it. If your not over 800mhz you should not have to over volt your ram.

I would give a Vcore bump. 3.6 looks easy on a Yorkie. Looks nothing like my 65nm.
OTOH, I dunno if Windows can even complete boot on my 65nm at 3.6... It was already fussy at just 3.3...

i am currently stable @ 415 x9 (3.735Ghz). it passes intel burn and the temps dont rise above 61C
im having trouble making the jump to 420 x9 though
also, if i push my ram to 2V i get a black screen after the windows loading screen, the cursor is there and can be moved around though.
Using the same settings if u bump the FSB to 420 it wont post.

so i gave up and went back to my original 415 x9 settings in the bios but now it wont post. i reset to defaults and is still isnt posting. when i turn it on it doesn't post, then it resets itself and post to a message that says my overclock failed (even though its all set to default). when i go to the bios => system information it says my q9650 is running at 2.4ghz instead of 3.0ghz. im really lost, the overclock i had was stable, but i know that the cpu should be working with stock settings... idk what to do to diagnose it, any help is appreciated. ive already ran memtest with a bootable usb, the memory checked out ok

it wont post, resets, then posts but wont boot windows ststing "overclock failed!" and tells me to load defaults or enter the bios. if i load defaults it does the same thing starting from the top all over again

F**K i thought i destroyed my CPU for a minute, lol. it worked and its posting and booting now. im working my way back up to 410 x9. i got 400 x9 stable just now. so what the hell happened? why is 415 x9 the limit im hitting? Ram, Mobo ??
