yeah for sure mate but those are not my best benches except 3DM06 for now yes...

this is my best SPI

Hi chaps,

I was wondering if anyone else has had any issues trying to stabilise at around 56-96K FFT in prime 95? I believe I've got enough vcore for the job, and have messed with GTL settings along with vMCH/VTT/vPLL for the past day. It always resets when hitting 96k and occasionally fails the 80k prior to that. Another overnight bleand test proved stable everywhere else until it hit the 96k range. At this point temps are at their highest across the board, but don't go far over 50°C which is still lots cooler than with my Q6600 before so I don't think its overheating (Q9650 hits 62-63°).
Anyone else experienced this and know how to stabilise? This is only at 466fsb too.
I'm at a loss :/

4770 / 4905 MHz ?!?! astounding stuff!

My friend sorry to say this...

here's the problem Asus Maximus II Formula P45 Rev.A3 + Q9650 you will have that sort of crap, see the disccussions around, me and lots of user went for the UD3P easy job to up a quad at 500+

on my MF2 couldnt go stable more than 475...when my mate Jor3lBR sent me the giga 500 was a minute...

I hate to say cauz i put myself in your place...but its like that

Cheers :up:

Yeh, I was hoping the different CPU and memory would have resolved the issue but it's clear that this pos mobo simply isn't up to the task. Getting the CPU stable at 490fsb was easy as pie, but anything that stresses the nb beyond small fft range craps out just as easily. This is even with 10+ PL, lightest clock twister and lowest memory divider.
I'm hunting down a ud3p as I type, just gotta sell some parts first then I'll hopefully get my hands on one before christmas.
I know the ud3p is renouned for it's fsb capabilities, but I'm not overly concerned about breaking any fsb records, but would like 500fsb stable. Would the DQ6 or the extreme models do just as well? I kinda like the dQ6 layout more. I would also like to have some good fan control and temperature monitoring features, which I know the ud3 range lacks, does the DQ6 offer more of these? (sorry, a bit off topic here).

from what jor and napalm have said the extreme and DQ6
are very good boards with quads too.dont know about fan
control or temp monitoring.

yes but i think the UD3R or UD3P will be fine for him, on the DQ6 my mate Oc nub has been fightin with vdroop wich is hughe...so the extreme needs a mod

I would choose the UD3P or UD3R and grab a rehobus xtreme fan controller...as for the MCH monitoring you wont need if you palnning to stay at 500 wich will be easy for the giga

oh i 100% agree the UD3P is the best buy.i was just
letting him know that they do OC quads good too.
and i remember some people in europe saying the
UD3P/R's are hard to find right now.

Server 2003 is the best OS ever! :cool: Sorry, I had to say that... it's just so mean when it comes to pushing hardware. Here's a little 1 hour of prime blend at 4.4GHZ...

I have the DQ6 and the UD3P, both are good boards. I was able to get higher fsb stable on the dq6. The only down side is that there is no LLC option on the DQ6 so your idle vcore will have to be higher. Other than that I highly recommend the DQ6. Both boards should give you a fairly easy 500fsb so cant go wrong either way IMO.

A 1m spi run I did last week for that hwbot country comp. I wish there had been some cooler weather during that stage for some better runs but it didnt happen. :up:

That is one very effective 1M run! Very, very good in fact considering you're on DDR2. :up:

My best run with the Rampage Extreme-E8600-DDR3 was 9.344sec at 4940MHz. (my former PB- crappy E8600)

You guys are having so much fun on this P45/ 9650 combi it almost wants to make me get some. :)

here's mine stable with CPU vcore: 1.39v

Verry nice i was priming at 1.216V load 500 x 8 with my Q9550 but it gets to 70C at all cores and i have a Z600 so i think i need some new coolpaste

Hoss amazing Spi run :clap:

Now I have to bench my Q9650 again (it was bored to death working at 3.6Ghz with intel stock hs).

Did you use XP_32 or Server_2003?

I wish I still had a UD3P the Extreme is less effective on Super_Pi runs.

Thanks. That was done on XP32 sp3 although I was planning on getting a copy of server03 to see if it will do any better. :up:

It's just modded BIOS for UD3P. It can be done for Extreme too.

No FSB records broken here, but after installing a pair of half-decent modules, I've finally managed to get completely stable at 480x9 / 1150 PL8 with 4gb of this chaintech stuff - surprisingly good sticks of memory - only 1.86v needed of their recommended 2.1v for rated timings :).
Current Vcore of 1.4 is way overkill and I reckon I could drop at least .05v considering I could do 4.17GHz with 1.25v. I'm am yet to plot how this CPU scales with voltage, just wanted to rule out any cpu instability whilst I push the mobo & memory...

*Edit:

Managed to get vcore down to 1.3125v. That's not bad for 4.32GHz is it?

Now I'm looking at pushing to 490 :)

Hey Loco! Congrats on the WR and 1st place on Stage 1 :clap:

Impressive.

This is my Q9650 OC took me some time to get it stable with a 2k FSB with 8GB of Ram. :up:

khaldum, which mobo did you use?

quick question.. a good 9650 how much voltage needs for 4ghz(aircooled)? linx stable?
