Overclockers q9300

The joy of overclocking a CPU comes from the knowledge that you have bought a lower end product and have gotten the performance of a higher priced, higher end product for a much lower price. But by doing so you usually put more voltage into the CPU than you would have when buying the higher end model, thus shortening the lifespan some say. I need help I am new to the overclocking thing and I was wondering what to put my settings at in my bios for 3.0ghz.Core 2 Quad Q9300 seems to be a very attractive candidate for overclocking experiments, at least since Core 2 Quad Q6600 used to be one like that. As you remember, we managed to easily overclock the youngest Kentsfield processor to 3.4-3.6GHz reaching unprecedented performance heights.

Of course, this makes for a beautiful segue to talk about overclocking. As the Q9300 runs cool under sustained loads at its stock 2.5 GHz clock rate, it’s only natural to think that the chip can run at much higher clock speeds when pushed.

Целью нашего эксперимента стали два процессора Core2Quad Q9300 и Core2Duo E8500, которые в отечественных магазинах предлагаются почти по одной цене. Прежде чем перейти к тестовой методике и результатам тестирования, остановимся немного на самих процессорах.
