How much Vcore do you think these Q9650 can handle on Water?

.

but you can play further giving volts mate also i see you got an awesome PSU wish i had that you can have real fun with it...i have a low vid and im sharing the loop with the GTX285, higher vid quads require more volts but it's up to everyone if you decide to play with it, on the giga i pumped lots of volts and then my PSU starts shutting down i will swap for a corsair soon.

i benched it till 1,56vcore real / 1,75pll / 1,66vtt and 1,76 MCH and the 2x2 gskills till 2,4

Is a I7 worth the extra cash compared to the performance you get from the q9650 at say 4,5ghz.? Just wondering what to go for inn a new build. Going to build inn a lian-li b70, with eighter EP45-UD3P or EP45T-UD3P and q9650.
Or I7 something on a good mb. 2 wc loops and 2 HD 4870x2 cards i think. 2 MCP655 pumps, 2x240 rads or one 2x120 and one 360 rad. Hope it's not to OT..

i think if you gonna hard OC the DQ6, the extreme is better on dividers and needs a vmod and the ud3p is awesome but need more volts

cheers

I don't think i'm going to clock it mutch higher than 4,5ghz if i get a new system. Not a oc guru like you guys.. :) And if i need to mod something physicli i think i'll go for the other mb. Only inn the planing stage yet..

Congrats on the 4,9ghz by the way.. It's awsome...

tried your settings- no post. tried moving from there a little but still no post. this cpu/mb dont seem to like a lot of volts

still trying...

Wow they actually released it! With I7 and I5 being released I figured they wouldnt bother with another 775.

OK not 4905 but getting closer Sergio. Very hard in 64bit w7.

Wow for the X3380 price you can buy an i7 920 + X58 Mobo + DDR3 and still have some change to watch "Inglorious Bastards"...

No kidding! That is the price they said it would be, the old 9650 price plan, but with I7 and I5 now here I doubt theyll sell many at that price. I do wonder if the retails are any better than the ES chips but im not going to find out myself.

The price might drop. Hard to say with xeons but it's interesting at least. I'm still on 775 and loving it.

What were those 9550s going for like $150 at microcenter? Geez that would make a nice setup for anyone.

I guess its just a misprint that newegg says that one doesnt support 64bit... right?

I need some input from the ud3p v1.6 users. I have another ud3p comin in tomorrow from the egg, i assume it'll be a 1.6. Anybody know what the difference is between the different revision boards? Something would have to be way different for the 1.6 to use a different bios right?

I was using my 24/7 setup as an example. I am 3d stable @ 4.6Ghz but that is with 1.57V (In Windows) but i am unsure of how much more it can take.

How do you now how much VTT to give your cpu? I find if i give it more then a certain percentage of the vcore it stops letting me boot. Is there some sort of stage where it starts to help? Ie: for me at 1.4VTT it is unhappy but maybe above 1.55V it will start helping?

Thanks for your response.

About the PSU. It helped my MAX OC on GPU by 65 MHZ on the core which i was glad about.

damn 1,57 is what i used for 4900 its amazing how different temps are on this chips being a lower vid to a higher

vtt it all depends mate, in my case till 4500 i dont need more than 1,36, but up to there it starts needing it, all depends. You should start to test slowly from a stable setting and then up till you get the most of it stable, then the rest will be bench or just screens.

Cheers mate and good luck :up:

Been reading thru this thread as I am planning a q9650 buy. Got a ep45-ud3p buying some g.skill 1100 now. I am just to about to page30 and am reading thoroughly trying to understand the oveclocking and the relationship of settings as they help or hinder sucess. My big question now is what batches have you seen that are most reponsive to overclocking. there seems also to be A B and C codes in the batch numer are they significant ? Meaning A's on average clock better Than B's ? Any help in this regard to help me try to get a good batch will be appreciated. thanks

Does anyone know what some of the good batches are for the 9650, are later weeks OCing better or earlier?

Sorry if this has already been asked in this thread.

as far as the letters A,B,C means that what (lot)

Example: L149A463-0726

1st letter or digit = plant code (Malay)
0 = San Jose, Costa Rica
1 = Cavite, Philippines
3 = .............., Costa Rica
6 = Chandler, Arizona
7 = .........., Philippines
8 = Leixlip, Ireland
9 = Penang, Malaysia
L = ............, Malaysia
Q = ..........., Malaysia
R = Manila, Philippines
Y = Leixlip, Ireland

2nd digit = Year of production (2001)

3rd & 4th digits = week (49th week )

5th - 8th digits= lot number

10th - 13th digits = serialization code

they are made in and it's a luck of the draw if you end up with a good batch number are not it's all about how your parts work together as far as the G.SKill 1100...I wonder if this one below? and the ep45-ud3p board go to the thread on here and what people are using and what kinda luck they are getting out of the board and there parts and Compare notes alot people are willing to help I myself had alot of help with my Biostar I45 from here when..I bought it figuring the bios voltage and the different setting to use to get a Good overclock got a 4.5ghz on my E8400 and 3.9Ghz on my Q9550 both on air and I've seen the A's on the chips get pretty high ..I've only seen the A,B's in the states...I thinks the C's are over seas someone correct if..I'm wrong

G.Skill 1100

even if you drop some 1066 in your board like this below this is some good also :yepp:

Best of Luck on your journey into the overclock World Of Computers:up:
