What is the maximum overclocking distance for an Intel Core 2 Quad 9400 at its stock voltage configuration?
What is the maximum overclocking distance for an Intel Core 2 Quad 9400 at its stock voltage configuration?
I upgraded my Q9300 to 3ghz stable, achieving 1.25-1.28v performance.
Darkbreeze:
At normal operating voltage, you can't push it beyond its limits. Any noticeable boost usually needs a voltage increase to maintain stability.
I managed to raise my celeron e3300 dual-core to 3.0ghz from 2.5 with the standard voltage.
As mentioned before, being capable of performing something and having stability aren't the same. I won't go into detail, since I think no one will really care.
Darkbreeze:
As I mentioned, being able to actually use it and having it stable aren't the same. I won't go into details, but I think nobody will care.
It's stable—I've been using it at 3ghz for more than a year in very cold conditions without any issues.
It's unclear why you thought you needed help with something you already understood. Any response different from what you've already decided is unlikely to be accepted. Good luck.

It's unclear why you thought you needed to ask a question you think you already understood. Any response other than what you've already decided in your mind won't be considered. Good luck.
I just wanted to find out how much further I could go without raising the voltage.

I don't understand why you even asked a question you think you already answered. Any other response would be considered unacceptable. Good luck. I just wanted to find out how much I could push before the voltage increased so much, and that's what I chose his answer for.
I have no idea what's happening.
