Initial overclocking setup for Q9550 using GA-EP43-DS3R
Hi to all.
First time in the world of overclocking.
Im waiting the GA-EP43-DS3R that i buy.
This is my spec.
CPU: Q9550 2.8Ghz
Motherboard : Intel DG35EC ( waiting 4 the GA-EP43-DS3R to overclock )
Ram : Kingston 800 Mhz 2x 2GB + 2x 1GB ( waiting 4 2gb x4 ddr2 800 mhz kingston to make 8gb )
GPU : EVGA GTX 650 1GB
PSU: Antec 500P
Cooler: Titan Ttc-nh10tz 3000rpm 4 95W Quad cores.
I would like to know wath i have to put to make the sistem go 1:1 ram bus..
4 wath i read i have to make the cpu go to 3.4 Ghz wath is 400mhz of bus and put the kingston ddr memories at 800mhz.
But well,i would like to know all the details..
I need to put more volt on the cpu?
how i have to config the new motherboard bios?

Start with auto to sense the initial voltage, then reduce it. My Q9550 at 3.4 comes from adjusting the FSB to 400 and setting the DRAM ratio to 1:1. I don’t remember any other changes; maybe I should isolate the PCIe clock separately. For CPU voltage, you likely don’t need much beyond the standard settings.
try auto first to understand the voltage initially. Then reduce it. My q9550 @ 3.4 is accomplished just by adjusting the fsb to 400 and setting the dram ratio to 1:1. I don’t remember anything else I did, maybe I should isolate the pcie clock from the rest. But for CPU voltage, I think you wouldn’t need much more than the stock value.

Oh ty... and what does "I did, perhaps I need to separate the PCIe clock from the rest" mean?
I’m new to OC. Auto is an option to set everything automatically? Then I manually set the FSB at 400 MHz?
Basically, you start with default settings and then manually adjust the FSB to 400 MHz.
I recall in the past, PCI-E frequency was linked to the FSB in some way, but there’s an option to decouple them, so your PCIe clock won’t affect your graphics card.
So I already have the MB.
I actually OC to 3.4 Ghz (400 FSB).
Now my question is about 4 vDrop...
I have vcore at 1.2125 v, which according to the bios and core temp is the VID.
But cpuz shows 1.168 V at idle and 1.152 V at load.
It isn’t too much vdrop?
My temperature is a bit higher...
At 20 minutes of prime 95 I get around 80°C... mainly on one of the 4 cores.
Can I lower the vcore to less than the VID? That would affect the vdrop?
