Advice needed on oc my q9540
- Thread starter piotrekhc
- Start date
temps will of gone up because you have no room for the front (bottom) fan to pull air in, can you put the g card in the 2nd pci e slot @ x16?
i have my ifx14 the same way so the air goes up out the top and it works well for me but i have more room (kinda) infront of my heatsink.
looks great tho

, hm.. I would put in in second slot but ill lose 4x sata :/ kinda sux, i might turn it around next weekend, but on a other side my temps on GPU dropped a a lot and I can have fans on auto temps 81c max
ps. what is the best way to apply thermal compound? spread it evenly or let it be spread by heatsik ?
ps2. I defo got the bug to fiddle wit stuff now haha

1.45v for vcore and term is what most advise as the max you should run a 45nm intel core 2 cpu but less will always be best as its going to do least harm and create less heat.
this is where it gets hard on the p35 as its bios has fewer options than the p45, you need to find out what is running at what on auto, everest (motherboard>chipset) should read them all but it does name static tread value as performance level. i would start be trying this +1 as it has as big an impact on performance and stability as another option tbh. you could try to cure it with more mch voltage but this brings chipset cooling up as a pos issue.
for tightening the ram nothing is better than memset and trail and error imo, lots of good info on google to explain ram timings and the relationships that some options have with each other and how to keep those in ratio to get the best out of them but again to get them tight and fast you need mch voltage. i never went over +2 on mine with it under a stock cooler and my case has very good airflow to help keep it cool.

I think i finally cracked it, it looks like mems can run stable only with two speed on my p35ds3p 800MHz and 1000MHz, ran them on 800 and 1000 stable no errors 3h blend test, thing is if i want to run then at 1000MHz (5,5,5,15 rest settings on auto) my cpu can be oced only to 3.33GHz(fsb 417) fsb to mem ratio 5:6, if i want to run them in 1:1 ratio my cpu would have to run at 4GHz(fsb500)and im not sure if I can run that speed on my mobo.
cool, at least now you know what the root of the crashes was and can work your oc around it.
you could always try 500fsb on a lower cpu multi, if the board will do that speed and keep the RAM 1:1 if thats where your limit is.
this is the part of ocing where I find myself scratching my head the most, you know the limits of each part and now you need to find the balancing point between fsb/cpu multi/ram ratio/latency and the heat created by the voltage they need.
at a lower fsb you could get tighter RAM timings and gain some performance from the trd that you lose from the drop in mhz.
I think I would try and get 7.5x499 fsb 1:1 because you tend to go up a strap at 500 fsb.
