What site do you use to upload pics too? I'm a newb when it comes to that.
you can do it right here on XS(see manage attachements button below) pic just has to be under 200kb. I use photo editor to change size to 1024x768 medium quality to get under 200kb.Quote:

You could try 1.30 VTT and check with NB between 1.48-1.56.
Here ya go.
Awesome thxQuote:

Here's the speed it gives me.
Edit...Nice L1 & L2 cache improvements with that Q9650. Tempting no doubt...I was reading the Q9650 thread..guys are hitting 4.4 pretty easy, but not with our motherboards or 8GB of RAM.
Glad to see you're making progress.Quote:

1730 stable for 45min in Prime..stopped to try 1740. Get this I'm loosing about 150 points of mem write performance vs 1730. Some sort of fsb hole here?Quote:

You making progress, i would say a q9650 would do 4+ easy on this board, this is one of the better quad overclocking boards, i bet you could get 2000 linked with 8gigs of memory with a q9650.
I hope to see you guys around the forum, i sold my whole system today to a neighbor. Im looking for another board, hearing to many good things about the x48 asus rampage extreme, time to try it out and see what happens.
Good luck with the X48, lets us know how it goes. Thanks for all your help.Quote:

Take it easy, man. Have fun with your new board!Quote:

Been thinking hard about upgrading to the Q9650...depends on what happens with my 9450.
Do you think it's possibel to get your 9650 w 8GB linked and synced at 2000? What would that be CPU speed for you?
Not sure if that's going to be possible on air with my cpu (I'm using a lapped TRUE.)Quote:

Well still waiting for new board, so im still a official striker 2 guy:rofl:. Trigger you should be able to get a q9650 2000 linked no problem, that processor will run 4+ghz easy, you will have to tweak the gtl voltages for sure to get there, but i see no problems, then with 8 gigs of ram at 2000 linked, your flyinggggggggg.
Thinking about it seriously, need to make full use of this liquid cooling rig!Quote:

Hey Sangrak...do you know the batch number for your CPU?
The Q9650 thread say's batches with B are best. Only A batches available to me locally. I don't want to pull the trigger on a crappy overclocker.
Well, the box has a 'Bx' on the code, so I'm assuming it's a batch B version.Quote:

Ordered the chip today, I'll have it tomorrow. I have to take what I get, not too concerned now. Thanks. I pray I can get 4.0ghz out of it with 8GB's anything more would be nice but not required, If I get less I'll be disappointed for sure.Quote:

That aint my buddy with the ram, i have just seen that he is selling all kinds of his stuff lately, and i noticed that the dominators he is selling did 2150mgz on his 790i board, and there tripple channel, but the bad thing about it, cas 9, im not interested in anything cas 9, cas 8 i would have bought them, i dont know much about the spd thing your talking about.
You going to have to play with the gtl voltages for sure, quads overclock very differently than dual cores.
I PM'd the guy the SPD proggy is for mem controller on CPU procs only...ie core I7. CPU tweaker.Quote:

Well i would just try 2000 linked, probally about 1.56,1.58 nbv, 201.5 mch, maybe + 20 +30 nb gtl, see where that gets you, be glad to help you if i can.
