Just got a Q9550

[boglwe]

Well, I just got this chip. My specs are below. When I try to OC 8.5x400 or 8x400, It just will not work. I have set the ram to 1:1 and the voltage all the way up to 1.35. Am I missing something? It will post but then stop at windows loading. Do I need even more juice? Thanks in advance. Also, with this MB what should I be setting the FSB to when I do this?

EDIT: NEVERMIND ON THESPECS< I HAD TO DISABLE SOMETHING.

MORE QUESTIONS THOUGH:

1. Does Speedfan doing accurate temps on this within 1 degree?
2. What is the max temp for this chip according to Intel?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a RAM issue.

is 400 the strap or the actual fsb? My old Q9300 and DDR3 was very picky with this. I always had to reset the strap fsb and ram back to normal and then work my way back up.
