Overclocking Q9550 on ASRock P45R2000-WiFi

[silko79]

Hi I am new to overclocking and i would kindly ask for your valuable assistance.

I have just overclocked an Intel Q9550 from 2.83GHz to 3,6GHz.

The Motherboard i am using is the ASRock P45R2000-WiFi.
As well:

XFX GF NVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ xxx edition

Kingston HyperX PC2-8500 2x2Gb

650W PSU

The system is pretty much stable passed the following tests:

3DMark06 = Scored 15668 which was pretty low on my classification and i would like to ask your opinion on that.

OCCT V2.0 Passed the 6 min and 1 hour test.

BurnIn Test: I have tested it in all categories.

However on Prime95 it passed the small FFT's but when i am using the blend test and this is very strange to me, 1 of the 4 threads will (and only 1 of them) will give the result: FATAL ERROR Found 0.5 expected less than 0.4 (or something like that)

The temperatures i am getting on Prime95 is around 60-61 C with my stock cooler.
Average temperature while the PC working is 50-55 C (God bless my THERMALTEK "Kandalf" case)

I have to add that i attempted an overclock at 4Ghz but not stable at all with temperatures around 67C, which of course i didnt keep.

The settings for the 3.6 GHz overclocking are as follows:

Bus Speed: 424
Multiplier: 8.5
Core Voltage: 1.288v
Rated FSB: 1697

RAM Frequency on BIOS set to Auto (Which on CPU-Z will give me: 424 as i have 1:1 ratio and 6-6-6-18)
RAM Voltage set to: 2.2v
PLL to 0,67v
and all the other voltage on BIOS set to Highest

I would appreciate your comments on this overclocking and especially if anyone can help me to sort this issue with the Primark95 test.

If you need any clarification please ask.

Thanks!!!

How did you get the FSBRAM ratio to 1:1? I can never get any close than 4:5.
