1.2125vid: lower vcore @ higher temps
1.2500vid: higher vcore @ lower temps

both air cooled by the same ifx14

havent checked but i think its still the wr on air

Hey Napalm do you have a Template for this settings? ...pls show the template ;) ...thx

Hmmm...

...i see all the guys with excellent validations near or over mine use ddr2 boards :yepp: ...i think with ddr3 boards its even harder to do a good oc job :(

Yes P45 seams to work better off with DDR2, for validation it doesn't really matter as the ram is less important, they are relavant when it comes to stability, DDR2 topping out at 4800Mhz and DDR3 around 4600Mhz.

C'mon guys, soon autumn is here !

LOL, 'some' of you probably thought "hey, lower ambient temps, let's break old records !" ?

Nope, I mean there will be so many new games to play soon: L4D2, CoD MW2 etc etc

I've had it with OC, I'm disgusted by the amount of time I've "spent" ocing this bastard of Q9650....I already got the freq I wanted from my Q9650, but one thing is still annoying me sooo much: can't find a stable MHz to a 1.344 or 1.360v cpuz ..thats anything above 1.3625v bios...

I've had 3 good P95 Blend runs: 10hr 4.1GHz/1.296v cpuz, 4.15GHz, 1.312v cpuz and 4176MHz, 1.328v cpuz (and this with x2.40 mem x TURBO, no nothing extra for MCH volts), so scaling is very poor, some odd 25mhz for 3 notches vcore raise...:(

Q9650 4176MHz
OCZ Blade PC2-9200 1114MHz

Load Line Calibration Enabled
VCORE 1.3625
CPU Termination 1.3000
CPU Reference 65%
MCH Termination 1.3200
MCH Reference 67%
CPU Drive 900mv

VDIMM 1.8200
TIMINGS 5-5-5-18 + AUTO
Performance Enhance Turbo

P95 Blend 8hr OK (10hr with Std Perf. enhance)

If I go 4194MHz with same MCH and FSB volts (raise vcore one notch): always BSOD withing 10mins, so here I must raise MCH (more likely than FSB vtt). 1.32v FSB and 1.34v MCH gives max 4hr Blend time

P95 Errors guys ?

rounding error - inc vcore and u be 24h OK :D
two types of "final result" errors...cant rem them both - inc MCH/mem or lower timings
BSOD - MCH volts too low, this often 1024K test

This morning I flashed the BIOS, from F9 to F10e beta...wasn't successful, no way I could get memory work at 2.40 ratio. *sigh, real deep real one*

Since it was a failure BIOS for my rig, flashed back to F9 and *fingers already caught inside jar* all is working, better than before actually !

Currently P95 Blending 4230MHz, 1.344v cpuz, 1128MHz mem 5-5-5-18 with Turbo...1.5hrs already.

Well i searched high and low and finally found myself a batch# L847C153. These week 47Cs are hard to get. Anyone have any experience with this batch? Ill post some results when I get it.

Hi, I have two week 47C's, I dont have P45 mobo to hand for testing (Yet), just two P35's; ASUS P5K Deluxe and MSI Neo2-FR.

*VID 1.18750, 445x9 4GHz, 1.216v Prime95 & IntelBurnTest stable
*VID 1.16250, 445x9 4GHz, 1.280v Prime95 & IntelBurnTest stable

Also aquired 3rd Q9650 (L846B802) with 1.1000VID :shocked:: Have yet to test this one in any great length, sadly the early results are nothing to get excited about. :down: I guess it's safe to assume all 3 might fair a dam site better voltage wise when tested via high quality P45 motherboard?

Thx for proving that a low VID isn't directly linked to being able to use a low Vcore for the same clockspeed. P35 still is a nice performer but is limited by the bios design. Higher FSB and better fine tweaking (voltages , GTL's, RAM settings) makes P45 better. It allowed me to drop Vcore some, but don' expect miracles from it. (came from P5K Dlx to P5Q Dlx)

What is the min VID on that chip?

CPU-Z reads 1.080v @ stock and limited by P35 Neo2-FR BIOS, since I cant set voltage any lower. P5K Deluxe has slightly more flexable BIOS, so once I get time for some decent testing in coming weeks I'll share the results and pic's etc. Might even have a quality P45 Mobo to play with by then :up:

1.1875 VID chip is stable on P5K @ stock clocks with 0.976v, no idea is that's good or not?

I have batch#L847C037, VID 1.175v, it is the best chip I have had so far. 4500mhz 10hrs Prime blend stable 1.392v. Only downfall is it runs very warm, will need very good cooling with these low vid chips.

No, I asked for the min VID, it will be listed in realtemp like this.

Ah well you never mentioned Realtemp :shrug: Just dl it and reads 1.1000 min, 1.2750 max, which might explain why it's not producing results anywhere near expected - so why would Core Temp 0.99.5 show 1.1000 VID even under load if it's not?

The other two Q9650's are showing a Real Temp max VID to match Core Temp's VID reading...

I Think it is a coretemp bug. I also thought my Q9650 was a 1,1 VID but it is actually a 1.3 VID with a minimum VID of 1.1. It does read it correct sometimes. I think it displays the min VID instead of the max VID.

yep, I had your batch specifically written down, I tried to get as close to 037 as I could...L847C153 is close enough I think.

Great job, I had one last Pi run left but with a little GUI adjustment (I.E. silver Luna and background) it shouldn't stand much of a chance.:up:

Nice to see you're back with some more wPrime1024M.
How's the heat output at 1.45V?
