New toy on an old platform

Post by skier »

decided to get a C2Q instead of waiting for a sandy build, because the pentiumD was just too frustrating lol

at 460 Bus i lost most drivers and sensors, but i took it higher and it all came back on, not a bad clocker so far, only like 15 boots into clocking and i'm prime95 blending at 62c

What are you using to cool that chip. I think I'm running 1.235V to get to 3.83GHz on my Q9550. I could be wrong but I don't think it's over 1.3V.

the sweet Thermalright TRUE 120 here

and obviously your Q9550 can run at lower voltages because it is so much older, mine is a wafer that came along much later and wasnt catered for the early adopter enthusiasts either, mine just works. I mean my VID is 1.2875
