anyone clocked this q9650 cpu on a p35t-dq6 motherboard with 8gb ram (all 4 sticks populated), wondering if p35 chipset is going to be limited to 400mhz fsb.

Back to priming again. Sorry for the absence guys. I was getting comfortable at 4500mhz. Now I need more speed.
I'm at 506x9 (4555mhz) but temps are getting a little high. I'm peaking at 67c on prime blend. Cpu v in bios is 1.4 too (1.36v cpuz).
I'm running a cpu only mcr320/hk3.0 loop too, with high speed panaflo fans on it @ 12v. Maybe time for a rad upgrade???
I'll post screens when I get it stabilized.
sorry to post my q9550 result here but seems this thread is more active :)
is my voltages ok for this speed or I can lower some and this settings will be safe for 24/7?
Q9550 @ 495x8.5

Some early testing at 4.6.

Very nice clock, 67*C under Prime large FFT load is getting up there but it's not too bad considering the VID of your chip and the vcore you're running. It's not like temps get up that high though under normal usage though right?
If there's some better rads available though maybe give one a go.
Very nice that's really impressive, great CPU. How's your temps?
Nice run Hoss. I have to catch up now. What are your temps doing at that speed? I see you're running almost exactly the same stuff I am.
Here's last night's prime blend. I opened the window in the room the system is in. Pittsburgh winter is on it's way.

And not that that questions was directed at me, but my advanced clocks are 900, 900, 0, 50...
Nope, ga-ep45-ud3r, just a misread in cpu-z.
nkresho,Hoss331 you guys got some nice chips there.
phsinc1,thats a very nice Q9550 you got too.
great clocks guys
Hey thanks radaja!
I watched your posts very closely in the process of oc'ing my 8400. You helped me get to 4400mhz with it.
I'm finally replacing it with a q9550 when it comes in this week.
I just have to get control of my temps onthis q9650.
I might need a better rad or something.
I thought the hk3.0 would bring temps down more.
I'm getting over 65c in prime blend over 4500 mhz...
Maybe xspc 360 or the new fan spacing thermochill...
nice to have you back nkresho :up: 10C damn thats a nice temp for OC
hoss31 congrats thats a hella good OC :up:
phsinc1 good chip there ;)
lets keep the thread alive :O)
Cheers all :up:

It is better by 1-2c but nothing too drastic. Worth the upgrade, IMO, especially since you're coming into summer temps down there.
It will let you clock a few mhz higher, which is why I got it. I might need to drop another few degrees (radiator upgrade) though.
Around the time of my cpu block upgrade (from fuzion v2) I also added a separate, second, loop for my northbridge/gpu, so my cpu had it's own dedicated loop on the mcr320.
Still, it isn't enough to keep these temps down while over 4500mhz. I'm spiking a bit over 65c at comfortable ambients (~22c).
And it's a little loud for my tastes at that speed/temp too with the panaflo fans up all the way.
Hey all you guys with the insane Q9650 overclocks might want to check this out. :p:
Don't do it Gautam I only have a 9550 !!!! there's no way I can beat these guys at or around 5Ghz
Thanks guys. Temps for that run maxed at about 53c close to the 4 hour mark when the ambient temp started to warm up, average outside ambient was about 15-16c. Since im starting to see some cooler weather I have both my rads mounted side by side in my window with it closed down on top of them. For clock controls I use 800, 900, 0, 50 for up to 4.55 and 900, 900, 50, 50 for the 4.6, both my 3380 and 9650 have needed the 50 cpu skew to prime at 4.6. I also ran a quick prime at 506 to other day to help keep track of vcore scaling. Past 4.55 its definitely starting to not scale as well, either that or I just need to work on some other voltages, ill just keep playing with it. :)

Hoss, I agree on the scaling. I got stable at 4554 but it keeps freezing on me over that. No failed workers, just a screen freeze. I've tried adding more of everything vcore, vdimm, mch, fsb, etc. Nothing is working yet.
temps are geting a little high for me too. I have to keep the window open to keep the cores under 65. It's freezing in here.
Thats what was happening to me, id keep getting random lock ups and it was wanting abnormal references to run the times it didnt. Bump the cpu skew up to 50 and give it a shot, thats what solved my problem.
Finally got my hands on my Q9650 today after 2 months of abysmal sevice and communication from overclockers. Ended up going to scan, got it all in 3 days. Along with this I got:
An akasa apache - will get the chance to see how it fairs against the noctua NF-P12
Inline water temp sensor
2x2Gb 8500 Corsair Dominator GT (not looking so promising)
A tube of MX-2 and MX-3
Another 120MM radiator
Anyway, currently testing at 490x6 (just FSB testing for now). Could post at 500-510 but I'm not anywhere near 'tweaked' enough yet, but I have a nice feeling about it.
After nudging the NB GTL to +30 it has given me 1024, 8 & 10k stability in p95 but has just failed 768k. Prime fails often on the first 2 cores, so they may be the weakest. Vid is 1.2 which I believe isn't bad? Temps are just skimming 60°C at 1.35v (with 1.35vtt), but once again, no voltages tweaked. Once the weekend comes, I'll be flushing the loop and doing a rebuild with the extra Rad which should help NB & CPU temp a little more :)
Just having a happy rant for a change :D
Got my q9550 today to replace my e8400. VID is 1.3000:eek:. Batch in my sig. Kinda sucks.:down: I might sell it on ebay and drive 2 hours to the nearest microcenter to get another, newer one tomorrow.:shrug:
I am actually pondering getting another q9650 instead.:yepp: LOL because this is my secondary rig. My "good" 9650 has me spoiled.
I can't seem to get this 9550 to 4000mhz with any less voltage than my 9650 made it to 4500.:shrug:
Any input guys? Temp me...:wierd:
And my temp sensors are off... by a lot... 46c 43c 38c 41c all prime loaded 99%, and the third mount???
Wow 1.3 is realy high vid i tought mine was high with my first Q9550 it was 1.275 it was the same batch well nearly... L846B770. i traded with my brother since he's not a real Overclocker, my vid now is 1.1375 4GHz stable @ 1.2v :) but i want to get more out of it.
