Overclocking Q9450
-
Hello everyone! I would like to do a little overclocking on this entry-level computer. I have left everything the same and I have changed the FSB from 333Mhz to 400Mhz... but I have left everything as it was before I touched anything... My idea would be to do a light overclocking without touching voltages or anything... Currently I have this PC: Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650W SLI G.Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2-1066Mhz DFI Lan Party DK X48-T2RS Intel X48+ICH9R DDR2 NZXT Alpha Classic Series Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Box 2.66Ghz 6MB+6MB L2 HIS H487F512P Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 Box Xigmatek HDT-S1283 -
hello and welcome why don't you do the OC for soft

i q programa me recomiendas??

Almost certainly DFI has some

Now I have the PC like this with everything auto except the bus which I have set from 333 to 400Mhz

I did a test with the SP2004 for half an hour and everything is ok... the multiplier is at x6 when the micro works it goes to x8...

The truth is that 3.1-3.2Ghz is usually the limit that these micros reach without touching vcore (then, depending on the vid / motherboard used, it varies a bit), so I think you have already met your expectations, right? -

Well, if I have to leave it for 4 hours with a test and see what... what surprises me is the issue with the DRAM - 480Mhz and the FSB: DRAM 5:6... I think there is an option in the P.B that can set the memory to 1066/400 which would be logical I think and not go from 333 to 400Mhz all at once
Back in the day, I had messed around with a mobile athlon but with intel, I'm not very clear on how it works...

I see in the screenshot that you have the memory in single channel, how do you have the modules plugged in? Check the manual to see how to place them to activate dual channel (assuming you only have the 2 modules you put in the first post), it's usually by color.
What I find strange is the DRAM issue - 480Mhz and the FSB: DRAM 5:6… I think there's an option in the P.B that can set the memory to 1066/400 which would be logical I think and not go from 333 to 400Mhz all at once.
You don't have a problem with memory up to 533Mhz, as it's DDR2 1066. As for the FSB, if it's stable at 3.2Ghz, there's no other option but to leave those 400Mhz FSB since you have the multiplier locked, if you want to go up more slowly then see if you can increase the bus by 1 in some place, I haven't touched a DFI in ages.

If you are right, they are placed in the first two sockets, a memory bank was messed up a while ago and I left it like that, before it had 6Gb, this week I suppose I will receive two more modules and I will put 2Gbx4 and they are also bringing me the Sound Blaster Z, let's see how that goes...

Without going into whether the answer voted negative is useful or not or whether the person who voted negative is right or not in doing so, Hardlimit is crying from home, because just as when someone votes positive for you, you don't come to comment on it and thank you publicly, when someone votes negative for you, you shouldn't do it either, and much less call anyone a bitter person for doing it. -
One last question, I want to put a probe on the micro i so as not to disassemble the heatsink and the chip. I thought about putting the probe on the plate that connects the micro to the heatsink… I suppose that the values I will obtain will be similar, right?
Greetings
-
If I have understood you correctly, you want to put it between the base of the heatsink and the IHS of the micro? It seems like a crazy idea to me, it will raise the temperature if the bases are not in complete contact. Doesn't the sensor that the processor itself has integrated work for you?
-
I don't know if I understood that you want to put the probe on the edge of the IHS or on the plate of the socket that holds the CPU because otherwise to do that I would have to disassemble the heatsink, right?
-
The metal plate that holds the micro doesn't make sense, it doesn't get hot, or at least not nearly as hot as the micro. If by plate you mean the IHS the only reasonable place would be the side as you say, but it's not easy to get it to stay there and you have to cut the plastic of the probe so that it touches directly.
-
this is how it was done before
as of today, you have to check if the heatsink covers the IHS completely; if not, as in my case (a triton 88 on an AMD phenom 9955), you mount it on top of the IHS without touching the heatsink (to avoid having to disassemble it if you remove the heatsink)
if I find the photos from when I did the assembly, I'll upload them; otherwise…
best regards -
Back in the day, the athlon xp mobile had the probe placed this way, but now with the Q9450, I can't put it that way because the top part is all smooth. The solution would be to put it under the chip or stick it to the side of the chip and see how it goes... when I have thermal paste, I'll clean the disipator and put new paste on it because the PC is 5 years old and it's time...

Xigmatek HDT-S1283 Review
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_775
inches to cm, cm to inches calculator
i have come to a couple of conclusions
the heatsink uses :- 3 high-performance heat-pipes of 8mm
plus about 2 mm of aluminum between tubes 24+ ( 83) = 32mm +/- 2mm
if according to the wiki a 775 measures 1.471.47 which in mm would be 3737mm
you should have about 37-32=5/2=2.5mm per side
if we take into account this photo
and that the probe cables that i have mounted are 1.5mm (presumably standard measurement) the probe must measure its good 3/4 mm wide considering that the sensor is in the center it would be 2mm and as i said before you must have 2.5mm per side ….. well you have enough space to put the probe in the upper part of the IHS without stepping on it with the heatsink
i have balls what i am capable of doing so as not to disassemble my pc :troll::troll::troll:

Not to ruin your theory, but in the one I have in my hand the IHS measures 30mm, although the complete processor effectively measures 37mm
