Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

CPU Clock amplitude on BIOS with Q9650?

Q9550 i have a DFI Lanparty DK P45 T2RS+ ..

http://i45.tinypic.com/11h58oo.png

came so far but not stable when i run prime it gets to 70 degrees on 4.25GHz @ 1.312 v low vid chip means alot of heat..
and it worker 1 stops after 8 minutes and worker 2 after 11...

Update : 4.25 GHz looks stable but runs verry hot 73 degrees... same vcore as above.

i hope to get it stable on lower vcore since its a low vid chip (A)

i have the same board as you DUCKY trying increasing the NB voltage.. maybe you can run it on lower vcore....

Guys

I wish you a Merry Xtreme Xmas for you and your families from this part of the world

I wish to thank all for the great help on this thread that i received :up:

Cheers to all :up:

Thank you andressergio :)

i would like to say the same to every one else to :)

@ insane 11 my northbridge gets verry hot runs 60 degrees... in my antec 900 so i wouldn't like to pump my nb voltage any higher...

Same from me also - thanks for all the help, settings, hints and tips, wouldn't be looking at 530x8.5 stable without this place!

Have a high-clocking Christmas and a chilled new year! :)

:party: :YIPPIE:

Happy Holidays Everyone
you guys are doing some great work with these cpu's:up:

yea my run hot around 50 and 60 but it went down to 35 after i take the heatsink of and replace clean and replace the thermal paste

i did there is MX2 on it but it still runs hot. the heatsink is verry hot i think i need to put a fan on it or something but thats not easy or its verry loud...

Happy holidays everyone! :rehab:
Without your help and settings posted in this thread I never would have pushed my Q9650 as far as I did! :clap:

@MrDucky

Do you think it would be possible to run a Q9650@4.5GHz with the DFI Lanparty DK P45 T2RS Plus ?

i think it could be, but for Quad core overclocking you should consider buying a UD3P. you also have to know that my Q9550 is Verry low VID. and i got another problem without a fan on my NB i cant get it cool enough ...
But it should be possible with a good vid :), btw im dutch so if u want to PM me you can do it in dutch :P

So if I was looking for a replacement MB for my 780i which is paired with my 9650 you guys would suggest this?

i would 100% suggest this board,or get the UD3R if you only plan on one video card.
these boards seem to be made for the sole purpose of OCing Q9650.here is the equation
:up:............Q9650+UD3P+OCing=heaven.........:up:

I'd say that would be a good pick, from what I've read.
It's working great for my Q6600.

I already water cool my CPU but are there any extra cooling suggestions for the board itself? NB or SB? Preferably air.

I am speaking toward the UD3 not the 780i.

does anny one know's a good clock skew i tried 0 and 100 for cpu clockskew 0 and 1 also triend 100/200 and 1000/1000 the most stable until now is 0/100...

That is the truth. I just built a system last weekend with a UD3P and it totally cranks on Quads compared to the last six high end boards I have ran through recently. It seems to like 9550s as well.:cool:

Hey guys just updated my bios on my gigabyte ep45-ud3p to f10f and she still running great now I feel its the time to push to 4.5 but i dont know if I should go with ddr 1066 and just do a 9 x 500 or should I really push it and get ddr 1200 if so what memory should I get the OCZ Blade pc2 9600 or the g.skill pc2 9600 .. any opinions greatly appreciated
