Thanks tool, but I just ordered a new q9650 to replace it. I'm putting that q9550 on ebay tonight. Ocing the 9550 wasn't as fun as the 9650.
This one will be on air so we'll see what I can get out of it.

A couple of tasters of mine so far:
Small FFTs @ 1.25vcore & 1.35vtt:

Now at 56Kfft & still going :)
Highest FSB so far:

Pardon me but why use Prime for testing? isn't OCCT Linkpack or LinX the best choice to check rock solid stability, haven't had much time testing.

Some computers can pass Prime but can't pass LinX. Some can pass LinX but fail at Prime. Some pass Prime Small FFTs but fail the Blend test. Some pass the 32 bit tests but fail when running the same test when using a 64 bit OS.
And a really good computer can pass any damn test you throw at it even when grossly overclocked.
Here's the latest version of RealTemp for you.

Thanks for that Unclewebb, you're quite right. I always found I needed more vcore to pass P95 than linx on my Q6600, might be different on 45nm but I don't wanna run temps too high atm anyway.
Another good plus point about p95 is you can determine what voltages you need to increase if a certain fft size fails. Following that, I normally do a quick 1 hour test on OCCT to see if it's stable.
It can often give an error whilst doing this, but from that point it doesn't take too long to fine-tune the system, then I'll do a few hours in OCCT to finish. If I feel comfortable doing it, I'll give it a pew passes of linx too, but I'm gonna be very wary of it as I know 45nm are a little more fragile and I certainly dont want to fry or degrade the chip.
Currently at 494x8.5 to give 4.2GHz on 1.25vcore. This chip is chugging along nicely, will post pics when done :D
Thanks for the tip.Quote:

Still a learning curve for me, I see people mentioning VID, please tell me what does my VID mean, estimate how much voltage I'll need for the Vcore, currently its set to auto in the bios, thanks.

1.1625 VID is good, the lower the better (mine is 1.2). Although this may not precisely determine how much vcore you'll need for a given overclock it is likely it'll be nice and low :)
If you're current setting is stable, try lowering the vcore a bit more to see if it can do the same with less.
I'm back at it with a new chip.
I replaced my E8400 with a Q9550 a few days ago.
It turns out the VID was 1.3000 on that.
I had a really hard time getting to 4000mhz.
So, I have it selling on ebay, and I ordered a new Q9650 from newegg. Turns out my luck isn't getting much better.:upset: Got it tonight.
Q9650 Batch L932B844 Packed 10/8/09... About a month ago.
VID.... 1.275v
Totally sucks.
But it seems more stable than my old one (1.25vid) was.
Here we go with the screen shots... Looks like Intel's using a spiffy new box for it's ultra crappy VID chips... LOL. tear.:cussing:

4000mhz

Mine arrived in the same flimsy box. Compared to the older retail chips I was unimpressed with the way it semed to rattle around in there. Mine was an L929 batch, so just 3 weeks difference. Good luck with it ;)
Temps are looking pretty good, considering this one's on air. Priming at 4200 right now.

tought it would be nice to post it here where Q9650's fly high :D
my GTX285 vgpu/ocp/ovp mod @ 810/1836/3024 clocks i play crysis 64 on W7x64
Q9650@ 4707
bench on XP32

Nice Scores Sergio! Submit your results to support the team. :up:
Thank you mate i will :up:Quote:

Sergio, great results ! Very good for a single card :up:
What were ur settings for 523x9? I can't seem to get it to boot into windows. Furthest i got was near the end of loading screen. But then after trying more voltage on vcore, vtt, mch, pll, vdimm and i/o it freezes on post. I had the amps on 1000mV for CPU and MCH, and 50ps on MCH skew. :shrug:
BTW my PSU is 750w thermaltake, could that be limiting me? the 12v rail is 12.36v and the 3.3v is 3.24v on load at high clocks...
Hey mate how are you thank you for your words :up:Quote:

All this i made boot volts to boot and stay stable for bench are more than if you boot at low lets say 4500 and then you use ET6. Normally i use this last method, that was done for fun with Oc Nub testing togheter
Hope it helps you.
Cheers :up:

Wow, 523fsb, that's really flying along good, that must have took a bit of tweaking, well done ;)
I'll have to have a good, long tinker after I've rebuilt my loop this weekend. Seriously doubt I'll be able to get anywhere near stable beyond 500 with this board, but the volts needed for 490x8.5 looks promising, and hopefully won't be after a lot more for ~500. If I spot a ud3p anywhere going for a good price i'll probably have to snap it up.
thanks for this andressergio.this is going to help
me out a lot.been trying to get 4707 stable and
not having much luck because im too greedy with
my volts.im now going to be a better man and give
my board whatever it needs:D
glad to help you Rob :up:Quote:

Very nice results Sergio.:up:
Put my giga rig back together last weekend and will play with these quads some more soon. Just been taking a break from it for a while.
Hey my friend !!! wellcome back !!! very nice lets play again :up:Quote:

Very nice Sergio! Better ram would have improved your scores a lot too.... :yepp:
