Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

having a small problem with getting my setup stable again

I just replaced a broken Rosewill 950w with a Corsair HX750 (I wanted the HX850, but my local microcenter didn't have any in stock) I am constantly getting freezes in Prime 95 blend. I have no stability at any of my other profiles as well.

Also I replaced my lapped TRUE for a Venomous X, but I hardly doubt that would affect any related to my overclock. The 12V rail seems rock solid at 12.3, the 3.3V rail is at 3.25, and the 5V is at 5.1 under full prime 95 blend load.

Any idea's?

Sounds like a ram or MCH problem. Give a bump to the MCH, if that fails try and adjust the MCH ref's.

What part of prime blend is failing, large FFTs I assume? Curious you should mention you got a hx750 as I lost a little stability on my old Q6600 about a year back when I changed over to my hx850. Although the PSU runs nice & cool, I'm starting to get suspicious now :s

it freezes within seconds, maybe thirty:shrug:

I am thinking I may return this ps I just a need a few more days to test.

MCH reference along with VTT and MCH voltages are probably the cause mate, I wouldn't give up just yet. The aforementioned are crucial to stability on this board, and could result in a bootable, but not 'stressable' system. You might even find that your old PSU required the board to give higher voltages, and you might need to compensate/re-tune.

List your settings and perhaps we can offer some more suggestions ;)

I switched from a HX1000 to a HX850 and I'm still stable with the same bios settings, so it was prolly something else in your case (unless you got a faulty unit ofcourse). My 5870 actually clocked slightly higher at the same volts AFAIK. Not scientificly tested though. Never did a before/after test, but it felt that way. Might have been a placebo too :p: Overall I'm still happy with my HX850 though

Yeah it's great! Maybe it thinks it's a duel core, it sure clocks like one.

I can't thank you enough.:up:

I will have more time next week to really put a hurt on it.:up:

NoGuru,amazing OC.i always thought jor's chip was in a different league
than the rest of ours.cant wait to see some more of your results:up:by the look's
of it,the chip is in great hands.im glad you got it,at least you'll push it to it's max

Thanks radaja. I will push it, but I don't have Jar3's skills yet to push it to the max. I am going to try and save for some WC. I'm a bit clueless on what to get, but I am doing some research now.

awesome.WCing is the way to go with a gem like that.
yea i was confused by what to get but it's not really that hard to figure
out just waht you need.i asked members here for advice and people like
zsamz and andressergio,helped me out quite a bit.so feel free to
ask questions

Thanks guys. I already bought a D-TEK waterblock. It's a Fuzion V1, but for $20 I
could not pass it up.:yepp:

what lol
did i say somethin wrong:p:
you callin him daddy:p:
gigabut didnt make a good board till the ud3X series
took em over 10 years of lemons :rofl:
my first gigabut p45 craped out but that was expected :ROTF:

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Finally got around to doing so more dice testing and got a new best for spi 1m. I was planning on doing a max speed run also but didnt get around to it, hopefully tomorrow night.

bravo Hoss331

:clap::clap:

Hoss331,thats some awesome quadcore fsb action for sure.i couldnt even get my last two
UD3P's to do fsb above 550 using a dualcore.simply put,WOW
