Hello, i now have running my Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (Stock 2.83Ghz) at 3.4Ghz OC for 5 years. The reason why i want OC it more is because the newer games...

P5E Deluxe Motherboard
OC Goal: 3.6Ghz, 3.8Ghz
CPU Temprature: very low 25°C to 35°C Max when playing games (@ 3.4Ghz)

I need little help with the settings in bios

Thanks Guys!

How you mean? I have running this CPU at 3.4Ghz OC for 5 years and the computer still runs like a "Charm". Yes, i know. I use CPUID & Speedfan for monitoring. Besides that i run Prime 95 and it's my second computer ;P.

Yeah I am curious about this too... I don't see anything about this while skimming through the stickies but I am likely looking in the wrong place. I just picked up an old Dell 780 with a Q9550 and GT430 for a cheap HTPC and was planning on overclocking the Q9550 eventually.
