Smile Re: Q9450 - overclocking

Hi
Finally I have just one question:
Is it worth it to push the system (based on Q9450) with overclocking? The performance is noticeable as seen in the previous comments but how about stability in time and lifetime of the components.
In this case the best memory available is a must.
I`ll keep you informed about my experience with my new system…. It will be mine next week.
Best regards.
Mihai

Default Re: Q9450

i probally wont overclock my new system(should have it in about a week) why push it and risk stability.

my 2cents on overclocking is it's cool for gamers with alot of free time to test and crash their systems and to post(pissing contest) their faster speeds and lower temps online but for us folks in production stability is much more important than being .3mhz faster than the next guy...if i really wanted a faster cpu than the Q9450 i would have just bought it...

Wink Re: Q9450

Hi again.
The configuration is almost ready:
- processor Q9450
- mainboard Intel Bontrail INBLKDX38BT
- videocard - Gigabyte - PCIEX16, 512MB, GDDR3, GF9600GT
- RAM - 2GB PC8500 DDRII 1066
- HDD – 500GB WD
Unfortunately Nvidia 9800 was a bit too expensive for me.
Best regards.
Mihai
