You Say Win7 Is Better For Me?:confused: Any Benching Is Run Well 3D 06 Run And 27K Easy For Me:D But 01 Is Too Low:down:

mmm AM3 takes what 10-15 secs ? 01 takes way more time and is far more stresfull... try another driver version...

Got my chip just now. I'm going to run IBT for a few tests and post back.

The first set of tests will see how far I can push her on stock volts.... 1.15v core (yay!)

Suprisingly enough, it seems as if I have no stuck sensors. I was expecting one at least.

I updated yesterday to bew F10f bios...seems that they loose some timmings it left me do this at tigh memory timmings on lower volts, the same on bios F10b (tough it scores more latencie on mem) does not run not even minutes...

x8,5 and x8 + tight mem timmings and speed has been always a no go on my system...yes on 9 multi but this seems good...7+ hours blend all nite

Ok, first round of tests are complete.

I am running windows vista x64 until 7 is fully released. This is mainly because I want to be able to play bf2142 on this machine.

I set the voltages to stock in the bios for all values.
For all these tests volts were as follows:

PLL 1.50
CPU term 1.20
CPU ref 0.760
Vcore 1.15000
dram v 2.08
dram term Auto
dram chA Auto
dram chB Auto
MCH v 1.20
MCH dram Auto
MCH ref 0.760
ICH IO 1.50
ICH v 1.10

I ran the standard 5 runs of Intel Burn test v2.3 using "maximum" for the memory setting.
It failed by way of BSOD at 445x9 so I backed it down to a maximum of 439x9 for a speed of 3951mhz.
Here are my runs leading to that maximum.

333x9 for 3000mhz

http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/265...stockvolts.jpg

400x9 for 3600mhz

http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/340...stockvolts.jpg

412x9 for 3700mhz

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7716/...stockvolts.jpg

423x9 for 3800mhz

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9313/...stockvolts.jpg

434x9 for 3900mhz

http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/156...stockvolts.jpg

And finally 439x9 for 3950mhz

http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/892...stockvolts.jpg

I'll go one size up on the pics next time.

Next round of tests will see how low of volts it'll do for 4000mhz-4400mhz.

Just got three more runs in. 4005mhz, 4104mhz, and 4203mhz. All IBT stable.

Voltages are on the screen shots.

I'll be running prime eventually, I'm just too excited to stop and wait that long.

4005 @ 1.1625v bios / 1.136v cpuz
http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/294...zibtstable.jpg

4104 @ 1.18750v bios / 1.168v cpuz
http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/761...zibtstable.jpg

4203 @ 1.23125v bios / 1.2000v cpuz
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/4115/...zibtstable.jpg

Still working on 4302mhz

VERY NICE mate :clap:

remember to blend cauz in my case i passed on low volts IBT and then blend fails instant thats at low speeds < 4300

maybe a notch or 2 but the chip seems awesome congrats !!!
09-11-2009, 02:35 PM

It's getting more dificult to keep the volts as low.

Here's 4302mhz @ 1.275v bios / 1.248v cpu-Z

Thanks! I will start blending tonight. I'm going to start back at the beginning at 4005mhz and work my way up with the blends.

Very nice run Sergio.

My 9550 4400mhz blend. Still running, will try and get stable.

Sergio, I wouldve thought you could get that at much lower vcore. Its so strange how you can have your CPU stable at one Vcore, but need to increase Vcore to get Blend stable...I wonder why that is, I am experiencing that too

its multi 8,5 mate and gskills are at 1229 pl8 on tight timmings...i can do at the same vcore 4400 on x9 multi...

gskills push hard the MCH

OK sergio, another oc for you to try my friend. Prime blend 14hours q9550 EP45-DQ6 board. I know this is not the q9550 thread but we have been testing this chip and board with Sergio's q9650/UD3P and my other q9650 using the 8.5 multi and same load vcore. No LLC on this board so idle vcore is higher.

Wow, that's a really awesome 9550 there. Most people will never see that type of speed from a 9650.

I'm still working on my first blend at 4005mhz. It's looking like I'm going to get by with 1.136v. More to come.

Thanks nkresho.

WOW!!!! That is probably the best 4.0ghz vcore I have seen on any q9650. Congrats on that chip. :up:

I feel like I deserve a good chip after dealing with my last one. I spent hours just trying to get 4.3 stable on it, and that was at nearly 1.4v cpu:shakes:.

I'm sure you can understand, having gone through more than one to find a nice clocker.;)

little help on 8,5 multi

Hey guys

Im experimenting the world of 8,5multi on my quad and there certain issues that bios after bios repeat, for ex look at this one

4352 (512x8,5 ) 7h+ blend

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/1430/captura6h.png

I used for 1.20VTT .785cpu ref and .80mch (relation) ref BUT when i reboot PC turns off and on again and when i enter bios gives me the red Screen saying OC failed bla bla...

So i did some test and used 1.20VTT .785cpu ref and .84mch (relation) ref and problem solved....

But sometimes it happens that i have to load optimized defaults and re load the OC profile ass prime will fail. I know that the giga has some problems on stored profiles, got to load 2 times or it will leave the divider on AUTO...but for all above not any trouble on x9 multi.

Cheers Sergio

Oh btw F10f bios on post with ALT + F12 lets you get rid of F10e backup
bios, it will flash current version to the backup (Thanks to OC NUB and KHIMO for the solution :up::up::up:)

Yes I understand completely. Spent around 5 months trying with no success to reach 4.4ghz with 2 chips, thinking the whole time it was me that was the problem and not the CPU.
Again Congrats, will be looking forward to seeing your posts with this awesome chip. :up:

Pushing harder now, running blend at 4450mhz.
