NewPC&OC 3.2Gig

[Anh-Hua]

Hi everyone been busy for couple of days finally put my rig together. Can you guys check my setting see if it nee any changes?
Corsair 4x1gig DDR3 1600 9-9-9-24
Could you please check my
DRAM Speed
Target DRAM Speed
When i start up a default it only give me 1066,even if i change my voltage nothing happened won't go to 1600 unless i OC my cpu and here's some pic of my rig and tested for!!
11 1/2 Hrs using prime
Second core #2 fail at around 8th hrs the rest runs straight 11 1/2 hrs
PS:
I did'nt have time to install ARCTIC COOLING ACCELS1 Rev 2 VGA Cooler on my video card yet don't have time but i increase the fans speed it's running 45 degree right now

That voltage is too high for that RAM.

Just set it to whatever it is supposed to run at.

If it is setting to 2.1v, you might have to clear the CMOS and then re-enter the settings.

Be aware that the Q9450 will most likely not get further than 3.6Ghz, and 3.4Ghz is more realistic.

Don't worry too much about getting the RAM running at 1600Mhz, just concentrate on getting the CPU stable and see what that can do first, so it might be an idea to choose a lower strap while you do that

[fowler003]

have a look at the 2 links below, might help in getting you to 3.5/3.6ghz:

Overclocking Q9450 settings/results

My first OC - DFI X48+Q9450

tho have to say you made a bad choice getting the Q9450 if you wanted a good overclocking cpu(takes a lot more tweaking to get it stable compared to the Q6600 G0), would have been better off with the Q6600 G0 or the E8400/E8500(someone on another forum got the Q9450 to (500mhz x 8 ) on the Asus P5Q Deluxe but that needed high voltages to get stable from what he said(never actually say what they where, just that the vcore was like 1.42v)).

Hi Guys,after reading and testing i manage to get to 3.360 MHZ my result in prime95 running 15 1/2 hrs
core 1 and 2 fail at 15th hrs..all 4 cores temp around 60 to 65 in coretemp...So is this consider stable?

Well, it probably will be stable, a few days of use will tell you..
If you use games, and you are able to play one or two hours straight without crashes, you should be fine.
