Need your hole system to start.

[BabyBalla]

hmm i sorry bout that.

780i FTW q9450 4gb Muskhin em(can reach 1ghz) and mushkin 650w(max of 44amps)

What Do you have for Cooling ?
What ram timmings ?
What is the Multi for that Chip
Can you post a screan shot from CPUZ with the Main tab Memory tab and SPD tab

[BabyBalla]

Air, 8x Multi everything else is in first post.

sell your board get a gigabyte ud3r or ud3p

Your CPU FSB probably needs to be between 1.28 and 1.36 volts.
Also I find the Trd ram timing to be my bottleneck, every time I loosen it I get a couple hundred extra Mhz of overclockability.
To run 3.8 I need to have it set to 10. Make sure your not overclocking your RAM any more than you have to (I run DDR2800 at 900-950mhz 5-5-5-15).

Having a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P really helps with the overclocking. I can run at 4ghz plus with my q9450 but it diffenently not prime stable until 3.8 to 3.9 at voltages I'm comfortable with.

You bios has a bunch of nforce crap I'm not familiar with though.

bumped up to 1.32 on FSB and bumbed up on vcore 1.41 still understable but better then last round

Your Setting look good .
For now I would take the ram out of the picture and Unlink your ram and run it @ stock till you find your max stable OC on the CPU .

Also set your Ram timmings dont use auto .


By air cooling do you mean stock ? If so i wouldnt expect much more than what you have now . .
