I just upgraded to a Q9650 and overclocked it to 3.6 by setting the FSB to 400x9, ram at stock 800mhz, and the vcore to 1.225v. I have an Antec 900 case, and using a OCZ Vendetta 2 for my heatsink.
Idle temps: 35,34,38,35c The one core at 38c never moves, except on load.
Load temps 45,45,47,46c running prime95 large FFT for 10min
It's weird if I don't overclock and leave the CPU at 3.0 the idle temps are the same when overclock to 3.6?? Also in the bios is says 400x9.5?? That gets me 3.6 overclock, shouldn't the multiplier be 9??
Are my idle temps too high? My load temps I assume are good??
Thanks for your help!
