Need help getting my i3 550 >= 4.5Ghz

Pretty high voltage for 4.5ghz...did you actually need that much to be stable or did you just leave it on auto?

That's what it took to be stable.
Runs @ 25 degrees idle and 55-60 degrees on 100% load.

I'll be getting my i5 2500k and P8P67 Evo in a couple of weeks, the target there will be 5Ghz but will settle for 4.9Ghz.

huh, yeah thats a pretty crappy clocker there then.

I know the components are capable of more and there's no heating issues, so I've clearly hit the cap for this CPU.
Ah well, on to the next one!
