Upgraded from my E8400 which was at 4ghz stable ( I usually ran it at 3.8 ish due to heat and to make sure it was rock solid). I replaced it with a Q9550 and started OCing it right away last night. So far, I'm at 3.65ghz with 1.31v in CPUZ with load temps of 50C. I'm hoping to be able to at least get close or hit 3.8 but it seems like it needs a lot of voltage past 3.6. What are some voltages you guys used to achieve this?
