Thanks mate :up:

Congrats on the new chip. Hope it clocks well for you.

Great job on HWBot with Superpi Sergio! :up: Now you I am #6, time to bench it again! :yepp:
Keep up the good work! Run Wprime for HWBot! ;)

early results arent as good as I would like them. CoreTemp says I have a vid of
1.2375. Priming at 4.0Ghz got me a restart after a few minutes with 1.20V. But I havent messed with GTLs at all, this is my 1st quad core

How's the heat output at 1.45V?

The heat is almost overwhelming! From 1.48 to 1.55v if the water isn't around 10oC it's a no go, when that wPrime1024m hits 90% the processor is already about to pop.

Now if you promise not to LOL :rofl: i will show you the Uruguayan method of benching without phase or chiller, etc

This first pics are on fresh air 17C entering from the window from a second floor apartment on a stormy day

This last is benching on AC at 10C air conditioner and 30C outside

That's not a bad vid, you will want to adjust the ref's. The right ref's will make a huge difference in stability. If it turns out to be a good oc'er your temps should be much cooler than with a very low vid cpu.

Well my first quick test@4.0Ghz, just a quick superPI 32M...I almost have to learn to OC all over again with this Quad, its gonna take some time.

Well, didnt take long to get some CPU stability. At 1.21V I was gettting BSOD after 20sec in P95, just a bump up to 1.23V got me stable (for my purposes) in P95 smallFFTs. I'm feeling better about my chip now, as I hand picked it. I'm hoping it scales well with Voltage.

Very nice. Try adjusting the ref's a bit, with a default vtt of 1.20v try cpu ref at .785 and mch ref at .80 then raise vtt/cpu termination back up to where you need it.

have you found that to be an ideal gtl zone for your chip?

How do you get 4 ghz at 1.25 vcore??? I had to go to 1.4 :(

On 3 9650's it seems to be the sweet spot.

its actually 1.23, I hand picked the week batch hoping for a good clocker

Thanks OC Nub, Ill def give that a try! Are those GTLs good for any OC? Would I need to readjust them say at 4.4Ghz?

Definitely worked for my previous 9650 and my current 9550.

I am using it for 4500mhz.

4.8ghz @ dq6: 1.6vcore/1.6vpll/1.8vtt/1.8vmch/2.6vdimm fsb:mem 1:1

note: much higher load on the extreme than on the dq6

you guys are water/freezing water/phase/whatnot cooling and then youre telling me if i ever tried lower vtt :shakes:

for air cooling higher vtt is what keeps it going

then again i guess im just a retard maxing voltages for no reason :up:

I just ordered this board, the dq6. Did you do mod to reduce vdroop? I should get the board in tomorrow. Am excited to try something different.
