i just set the VCore to 1,30625. Sometimes my network just goes away and only comes back when I boot - what might be cause of this - and do i need to increase voltage on north/southbridge. ps PCIe is locked!

I just had a look at the specs of my mobo and for FSB it says 1600MHz - is this a hard limit? I now dropped to 1600 let's see what happens.

no, not using VISS. Actually the PC just froze - this time during work. I have now brought the OC back to 400x8,5 leaving the Mem. at 1333 (this memory is rated at 1333 at 9-9-9-20) - let's see what happens. Really strange. Is there any Win7 log I can check?

All, I have OC'ed q9550 to 3.5GHZ (417x8.5) - system is stable for 24hrs w/ Prime95 and IntelBurnTest. Voltages are Auto (except Memory at 1.7V). PCIe and all other are locked at 100. C1E OFF, Virtualization OFF, SpeedStep OFF. System will freeze, ie even mouse does not move anymore...

hmm, in Italy it retails at 200 Euro (283 USD) - not sure if it's not better to go I7 immediately

not sure why the PCIe lock won't work: the 2xLAN is integrated on the MoBo - on the PCIe I only have a SB and a GPU and both work fine. moreover in the BIOS settings I have stayed away from these settings. How can I check this?

noobie question - why q9550 - isn't the q9650 considered faster?

Wauw - great thread - compliments all!!! Don't want to hijack this thread just some personal observations: 1/ I have a q6600-g0 and I can OC to 3.3Ghz - stable for 30 mins then the network just stops working (without any clear sign why!) - I have already increased voltages on north- and south...

Drakken, pls help my curiosity - what will happen in February?
