Thank you for your input! In my setup, anything above 4.2 Ghz needs a minimum of 1.42 Vcore, regardless of the multipliers or CPU PLL, QPI, or DRAM settings. Regarding the Deepcool DW650 W 80 Silver rated PSU, is it sufficient to power an x5660 OC up to 4.5 Ghz?

look up the product ID online to gather details such as the specific maker, capacitor model, customer feedback, its position in reliable PSU rankings, and more.

Thanks, I understand it's sufficient, but the reviews and discussions mentioned it works well for OC. Still, I'm unsure if that applies to x5660. That's why I'm reaching out, since I didn't find any details about 1366 OC in forums or reviews.
