Greetings!

I'm trying to overclock my Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 and I've managed to get 3.58GHz, but I want to get 3.60GHz.

For some reason, it is super stable at 3.58GHz but won't boot at 3.60GHz, even if I raise the voltage.

(1.26v is super stable for 3.58GHz, but 1.3v+ won't boot at 3.60GHz).

I am using a GA-X48T-DQ6 motherboard.

Any ideas?
 
Solution
There is a limit for each CPU and it varies. 3.58GHz is only 20MHz slower than 3.6GHz. You are not going to see a difference unless you look at benchmarks and probably most of the will show nearly identical results between the two speeds.
