My Q9450 finally arrived yesterday so I build my first new desktop system in a few years (have been running laptops for a while). I just changed the bus speed up to 400 for a quick OC to 3.2 with stock voltage on everything and started Prime95 before going to sleep. It ran fine for 9 hours with load temps of 60-63 across the cores (idle around 44-46), and CPU voltage of 1.125 (CoreTemp) or 1.17-1.18 (CPU-Z). Tonight I might try to set the bus speed up to 425 or so with the stock voltage and see if it does fine, but at the moment it's still whisper quiet, which is more important than that last bit of speed.
go to the bios to see what your vcore is. coreTemp is allegedly reporting default vcore, not the vcore you're currently running. Of course, coretemp shows me at 1.0375 while my ip35pro won't let me set vcore at lower than 1.25 in bios. I think I'll trust the mobo before coretemp. You're probably at 1.25 in bios, too, but I'm curious to see.
