Hi there,
I have a Q9550, ASUS P5N-D 750i and XFX 260 Black edition with "2x 2Gb Corsair DDR2 6400 UB" RAM.
My CPU continously heats up alot and my motherboard too. I have a Titan Fenrir.
One reason my CPU may be heating so quickly is because I havn't at all understood how to control the Stepping technology (if thats what it called).
Clearly you have to activate the technology by which the Q9550 manages its working effort, by work load. The CPU didn't come with any information about these controls, and I can't find anything online either - I'm posting this for any links, advice or experience you guys have concerning controling the Core2 technology, while I continue the search myself.
Any links, advice or help would be greatly appreciated!
It's important to me to understand how to control this technology because I need to use the computer urgently for university work & other stuff.
I trust some of the community have had similar problems long ago..
