I don't think zoson gets that we are joking around with the LinX results...
Yeah, & as for stability, i want to see LinX max RAM 10+ passes & P95 Large 3+ hrs. before i'd say you're anywhere close ;)

It's all not stable! OMG! And how it's works all this time!:rofl:
I'm at work now. Maybe i'll do it later, but I afraid to disappoint zoson:rofl:
:rofl:
That's not true. Just go back and look at everything I said. You guys were the ones getting defensive and over reacting. Not to mention I haven't said anything "erratic." If there's anything erratic, it's your terrible english causing you to misunderstand things, and your manic reactions as a result of your lack of understanding.
You can see in my first post to the thread, I pulled 550FSB 200 LinX stable Max Mem on this motherboard with a different CPU already. I came in here asking for help and all I got was flames and nobody willing to actually *prove* to me what they were saying is true. If that were the kind of welcome you were met with asking questions, what would you think? Right, that everyone in this thread is a pack of liars.
It took me basically twisting peoples arms until I finally started seeing something worthwhile. Not to mention the biggest talkers like you Sergio have yet to post anything actually relevant - other than a screenshot of you running linx at an overclock lower than mine. All you do is make fun of my overclocks and my equipment. You say I'm not respectful. Look in a mirror, hater.
Oh, and where's this SLI hack that everyone says is out there? All I find in Google when I search for it is threads about how the author disappeared, it only ran in safe mode anyway, and it was never actually released.
zoson, overclock Quad it's not the same that overclock Duo. Many mobo can 550 with Duo, but the same mobo can't even 470-480 with Quad.
>500 with Quad is VERY HARD.
Sometimes you have to look a little further than the Intel forum on XS. :D

Already proven that it works on an ASUS Rampage Formula board by Ghostleader. :up:

I have NEVER posted a spi run, especially as a test for stability. I always post blend. If you had read the thread as you say, you would know this and also have seen Sergios blend runs along with those posted by the other fine people in this thread. I am still waiting to see some impressive oc's from you. Show us some blend at 4500mzh@ your 1.5+vcore, or maybe 500 passes of LinX, as that is your standard of stability.
Hi fellas. Been reading this thread for a while, decided to finally join the forum, as most of you directly responsible for me dumping more money into my system lol. I am planning to switch to i7-870, but before I do I wanted to push my q9650 and ep45-dq6 as far as it can go. I got her now @ 4.4Ghz for 24/7 use, but I think my vcore is a lil high. Idling in CPU-z it shows something like 1.456...
I AM SORRY IF THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE TO POST THIS! I did search the form first and found a thread for my board, but it was mostly tech discussion there rather than oc...
Anyway got a 8hrs stable test @ 4.4Ghz with this settings. Was trying to see if it will actually go past 4.3. I think my CPU Vcore is still too high. 1.53 just makes me nervous. I think I will lower it a bit and try it again. Saw a post somewhere with my quad and same board running at 4.5 24/7 and benched at 4.9, so I know it is doable. Now I just need to work out what is holding me back. Still need to figure out reference mess. Temps look totally fine, highest it got was 56*C, but my room is at like 77*F right now...
Here're my current settings.

Like I said I am somewhat new to this... any help will be appreciate it. My final goal is 4.5 for 24/7 and try to bench her at 4.8-4.9... then I can retire this CPU
There you two go putting words into my mouth again. At no time did I say you could pass LinX and then have Prime fail.
I've maintained this whole time that LinX is by far a better stress tester than Prime. Prime can pass 24 hours while LinX still fails after a short period of time. I've seen this behavior in the last four CPU's I've owned. I'm quite convinced that people like you bash it because you can't pass it stable. Complete denial of the fact that your OC is not stable.
Now you guys are fronting like a bunch of kids. Clearly I use 200 LinX loops to test my stability, as seen in my screenshots. I asked sergio to prove his OC with 500 loops max mem. If you guys can't see that he's deflecting instead of proving, well I feel sorry for you. If he were truely stable, this conversation would have been over long ago when he posted his screenshot.
I thought XS would be a haven for people who were serious about overclocking, but instead I find another forum full of fanboys defending their false champions.
You have very little experience with a c2q it seems. Using LinX, my cpu require less vcore to pass than when testing with blend. This was not the case with my e8400. If you go back a few pages and read you will see where several other had the same findings.
You started insulting people in your first post in this thread by stating that we use spi as a means of stability testing. You have shown no respect to the guys who have spent months oc'ing these cpu's and posting results in this thread, in return you will receive the same. You then dictate to us the definition of stability and imply that anything that differs from this is not acceptable to you (like we care). All anyone was trying to say in the beginning before you went off the deep end was that your board, however nice it may be was not designed for overclocking a c2q, that you would have better results on a more appropriate board for the job.
