Hi im just wondering if any of your super clockers out there have been messing about with QX9650 as im looking to oc it a bit and im not wanting to use the MB utilities to do this anymore, ie in the bios. Im wanting to do a proper oc on it but after just spending £480 on the chip i dont want to have a bash myself and end up frying it.... LOL.
Im hoping to get my benches up a bit from what they are so i can maybe get in the higher reaches of the benchers paradise table :yumyum: for HS&F users that is as i havent got liquid (but i am looking at maybe a phase). if anyone can give me advice on that as to the pros and cons of that sort of system.
Thanks all for your infinite knowledge and bountiful advice in advance. :wavey: :worship:

What hs&f you got??
These things seem to
on 4GHz given even top end air cooling.... If ya fry it which isn't likely then just remember those 3 lovely letter R.M.A. 
Check out all the threads in the overclocking section though... They will make life much easier for ya.
Also check this out!

4ghz for a bench for sure on air. 4.2+ghz for suicidals (not much + tbh, 0.0x).
3.75ghz with good ambient temps for general use. In recent hot temps tho I`ve had to 3.33 or 3.5 for 24/7 fold.

We were overclocking one of these to 4Ghz recently. We struggled to get it stable at first (400 x10) until we realised it was one of the worst Extreme chips we had seen in a long time - needed alot of voltage! We changed it for another in the end to keep the temps down (even on a w/c system).
Hopefully you have a good chip, do you know what your chips VID is (its native automatic voltage)?

You should easily be able to take it to 4Ghz, I have that same chip but not done any over clocking yet but I was able to take the E6850 to 4Ghz on air with just simple FSB increases no changes to voltages what so ever. This was using the Asus Striker Extreme mobo and a QDR of 1775.
My current rig Im using the Striker II but until I fix some tearing issues with my 8800GTX cards I wont be looking at overclocking. Before the tearing I had it stable at about 3.6ghz again just fsb increments I plan on taking it to 4.5 + once my machine is stable (im on water cooling btw)
