Asus Rampage Formula (X48) & Q9550

[markus79]

What is a safe overclock speed for Q9550 (on Asus Rampage Formula)?

Here are screens of all my scores

Using an older P35 mobo, and using the stock voltage (taken from VID from Coretemp for my Q9550 which is 1.175), I am running it at 3.5Ghz (so I believe it's somewhere at 410 or 411 FSB).

Temps are very good.

YMMV as everyone says but I think that is a comfortable speed.

"Safe" is defined only by stability and voltage
As long as you don't go above intel's spec voltages (can be found on their site) and you still achieve stability, you're fine.

Theorectially, you could achieve 4ghz on a Q9550 within spec voltages, you would just need better cooling.
