Hey guys!
I just got my UD3P installed and now I am looking for some suggestions! I have the Ballistix Red Tracer Ram 2x2GB. Anyone know some good timings/settings to start with?
:up: 4750Mhz is just a joke ;)Quote:

i adjusted everest Tjmax to 100C so it shows same temps as all, this didnt happened on my Q9650 before all showed the same
Well im happy could never did this on 25+C ROOM temp on my other quad no Air Condioner at all this Xeon is awesome
im heading to my 24/7 searching some stability

OK everyone there is a ton of post for this proc, and overclocking it. I need help i am really new to overclocking, and all the lingo, but i have followed your guys instruction to overclock my I7. now i have finely bought my wife a new proc (she's been using a p4 on a Striker Extreme mother board for 3 or 4 years now). we are water cooling her PC. I see you all have manage to get it 4.5-4.9 for 24/7, so that is my goal. I need help. please can someone give me a step, by step info on how i can archive this goal, what i need to change, and at what increments to get there, also what to watch out for.
Thank you all for the help.
MOB - Striker Extreme (water cooled)
BIOS - 1901
Proc - Q9650 3.0GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W
mem- DDR2 800mhz Mushkin 4g
Video - 7950GT 512m
4.5-4.9 will be hard on the striker extreme.almost all here getting those frequencies are using the gigabyte EP45-UD3P/R's
sorry i cant help as ive never used the striker extreme.good luck
790i need alot more juice to be stable 1.48 for same cpu same speed @ 1.38-1.4
my first q9650 wasnt stable @ 4.0 with 1.46v on 790i but it was @ 1.33 with ud3r
Striker Extreme is 680i, 4.5GHz with a quad will never happen on it with air-cooling. I used the Striker in my main rig for a year, it's a nice board but almost every P45 will kill it in regards to overclocking and performance.
OK well i don't want to get another board other wise i would just upgrade her to an i7, but if you guys could help me get started with overclocking that would be greati want to get it atleast to 4.0 and then see if i can go higher. What steps did i need to take to get started on overclocking it. What would i need to change, where should i start. i am not sure what setting i should adjust or anything, if u all could help me get started. Also tell me at what rate should i slowly move up at, where the limit is, that i should stop at, and what to look for that would really help thank you
Thank you all for the help.

Hello guys, I've swapped my 1.3 vid q9650 with 1.2 vid q9650 and I liked the lower voltages it needs for the same clocks. But this 1.2 vid chip is hotter than my old one. I've successfully ran LinX at 4400Mhz ~1.4V but it fails in prime95 x64 small fft with FATAL ERROR: Final result was xxxxx instead xxxxx.....
I've tried raising vcore/adjusting CPU GTL Reference Voltage/raising VTT but without success. I've made successful prime95 x64 small fft run with lower multiplier so memory and chipset have to be stable at this FSB(489).
Hi, I consider to buy one Q9650 because of bad company are taking the advantage of 4 cores. I found one with batch: L946b997, has someone tried this batch ? I will be happy if it will be stable 24/7 with low voltage with 4.0ghz.
It will probably do 4ghz just fine but it may not be at low voltage. I dont have any experience with that batch but from what ive seen the newer L9xx batchs dont clock as well as the older L8xxs.
Core 3 sucks and requires major vcore for stability.
Wow, long time since I've been here. I see Sergio and don don still hanging around in here huh... Exiting.
Anyways I've got some cash saved up and I plan to get rid of my SLI 260's and snag a new Fermi card, either the GTX 480, or a 5870 depending on Fermi performance, once I do I'll no longer need this SLI 750i junker board I've got... so I'm wondering, the Q9650 is still a badass chip and I'm positive mine can go higher with a EP45 board.. but is it worth it to remove all this and get the new Motherboard, or should I just move to i7. i mean I don't really need it...
Basically I'm thinking of getting a Fermi card or 5870, then switching to the UD3P, and i might keep my current ram, or get something better. and try moving higher for a 24/7 clock on this thing. it works perfect for my now, I don't really need anything to much more.. but sometimes when I'm doing to much like encoding a Movie and playing Bad company 2, both CPU intensive I'll occasionally get a freeze, it's probably my 750i n oc.. I'd like to know it's 100% stable with a UD3P that will be much easier to achieve.
I have been following this thread for a while, since I bought my first Q9650 almost a year and a half ago. I just recently sold my 1.25 VID chip for a 1.1875 VID and the difference in temperatures is unreal. Also the 1.1875 chip has core temps all over the place. Core 1 is the hottest always, Core 2 is by far the coolest running core by as much as 9C, and the other two are consistent with each other.
I am getting higher temps and a lower overall overclock (9X460 @1.28 cpuz 74C only one core vs. 8.5X500 @ 1.376 cpuz 67C) due to the fact I am air cooling. I have a lapped TRUE w/ a San Ace 109R, and I think that I am going to need water to go any further.
Just wanted to say thanks for such a great resource (NapalmV5, Andressergio, Hoss, Radaja)
The Q9650 is still a kickass CPU. If you don't yet need 8 threaded ability, I'd grab a second hand UD3P, some nice Gkill Pi 9600's and have some fun. You should be able to get 4.2 - 4.5 depending on your chip, which will give you considerable power for less than a platform upgrade.Quote:

Error: FATAL ERROR: Final result was 48FCCFE6, expected: 26C78657.
I think this is a safety feature from intel. but its verry stupid for me cause i cant stress it to know if its stable...
My Q9550 @ 4.25 GHz i can stress it @ 1.248 volts (vid 1.1375) and @ 1.264 volts and @ 1.280 volts every time the same error at the same time (when the first core hits 74C this is the warmest core)
I know that its stable enough for me cause i can play all my games without crashes (including GTA4)

guys, if I got cores 0 and 1 going exactly the same speed thru P95 Blend, while cores 2 and 3 are very different in speed (both slower....with 2.40B I could have one VERY fast, then cores 0+1 same speed, finally last core sloow)
What to change? I remember having nvidia chipset 750i SLI FTW, it had TWO GTLVREF (CPU REF), but no MCH REF....
advise me plz.
F9 BIOS + 2.50A is my new find.
Plz, SLI GTX260 equals GTX480. I found Corei7 @ 5.5GHz + GTX480 @ LN2...guess what, my 4.2GHz Q9650 and GTX260SLI beat it in Vantage....5.5GHz vs 4.2GHz Q9650 does NADA for FPS. Heat...GTX480 is a hot one.Quote:

xguntherc, you already have a kickass PC and I don't think it's worth it to get a more expensive 775 motherboard for just a few hundred MHz more on the CPU. I fell into the trap of changing one or two components just to get and extra 200MHz here and there, and the resulting 4.3GHz I got from my Q9650 looked nice in my sig but didn't look so good in my bank statement, especially after I bought the memory, the TRUE, and the case fans I needed to go with it. :D
My advice: IF you upgrade at all (which I don't think you should), upgrade to X58 and keep your GTX260 SLI. I'd KILL for GTX260 SLI at this time but I just don't have the £/$ for it.
Best option is to take your OC down a couple of notches to 3.8GHz and you should easily solve your freeze problems without affecting performance noticeably, and without spending anything at all. :up:
