I'm curious as to what people have reached with an intel q9450 as well as what they run 24/7. Please post your the voltage you are using. Thanks.

Right now im running at 3.2ghz @ 1.25V using a xigmatek HDT-1283. Average temp after running prime95 for an hour was 53C.

I'll have to test this more later, but i dropped my voltage down to 1.15V and it ran stable for an hour with temps at 48-48-52-48.

3.6 Ghz, 1.3V or thereabouts, negative VDROOP (yes, my VCore actually goes up .01V under load.....did the VDROOP mod).

I wish I could get mine over 3.3...for some reason I cannot get her stable on my Maximus...don't know why.
What are you guy's settings to get over 3.5?
What are you guy's settings to get over 3.5?
To get stable at 3.6 I had to do a couple things. I pumped 1.5v into the NB which helped a lot. I also did a lot of tweaking to the GTLVREF values. I started with all four lanes at the .67 * VTT formula. My VTT was 1.4 so I used +95mv, then I noticed that core0 would fail first all the time so I put lanes 0 and 2 and +90mv and that made it stable.
Im getting pretty good temps that I'm comfortable with.That seems to be the max overclock I can get without giving it more vcore. I'm pretty satisfied as that was my main goal when I bought the cpu.
vcore =1.37 in bios
nb=1.34
cpu pll=1.52
fbs=1.22
Those are basically all I changed in the bios to achieve this overcloack. btw the Occt benchmark passed and completely stable. I just shot that for picture purpose on this forum.
