May 4, 201115 yr I've upgraded from an E6700 that I could OC safely to 3.4 Ghz, to a Q9650 that will not OC at all. Not even a 5% OC. Any attempt to OC, the computer will not even attempt to boot.My motherboard is an ASUS P5N-D which I've upgraded from a P5N-E SLI, the cooler is a Arctic Cooler 7 Pro. This Q9650 Idles in the 50C range according to CoreTemp. The ASUS Probe shows a CPU temp of 61C at Idle. Running Prime 95my temps with CoreTemp are in the 60C range ASUS Probe shows 70C or so.Has anyone else had trouble OC the Q9650?Thanks,Donald E. DonovanDonald, that appears to be terribly undercooled. I wonder if your sensors are mis-reporting. If not, that sounds like trouble. You should be see idle temps at stock clock speed somewhere in the low 30's C.Noel Noel System: 9900X3D Noctua NH-D15 G2, MSI Pro 650-P WiFi, G.SKILL 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000, WD NVMe 2Tb x 1, Sabrent NVMe 2Tb x 1, RTX 4090 FE, Corsair RM1000W PSU, Win11 Home, LG Ultra Curved Gsync Ultimate 3440x1440, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case, TCA Boeing Edition Yoke & TQ, Cessna Trim Wheel, RTSS Framerate Limiter w/ Front Edge Sync.
