Hey guys,

I've been overclocking my Q9450 on my Asus Maximus Extreme motherboard with OCZ Platinum 1600Mhz DDR3 memory and I've hit a wall at 3.4Ghz (ram oc'd in sync at 1700Mhz)

I'm wondering what results you guys have had with similar setup's or if you have any advice about pushing it further? I've read about ppl achieving 3.6GHz (admittedly on DDR2 motherboards) but I've not managed to get there.

vcore 1.320v
CPU/NB/GFX all watercooled with dual 3x rads - temps all very low

Cheers,
Doggeh

 
Well, I was stable at 3.704GHz with 1.3625V on a P5Q Pro. I don't want to go any higher on Vcore, but you have some room.
