i think grnfinger had a Q9650 at 9x500 in the maxII thread
I'm slooooooooowly (as time allows) moving from Q9650/x48 Blackops to one of those newish gigabyte p45 usb3 mobos. This is not something I wanted to do but that's life. Reaching Q9650/450-460 fsb on x48, with preferred settings/stability/AIR-COOLING, took a fair amount of effort.
I REALLY hope there are no Q9650 issues with these gigabyte p45 usb3 mobos :D.

andressergio has done great with his EP45-USB3 and his quads:DQuote:

you shouldnt have any problems doing 500fsb:up:
aaa yes you will have HORRIBLE stability issues :D

Sergio is a master of stability.
I had a -WTF- moment yesterday with that motherboard. As I was building up OS, the system dropped off the face of the planet into some sort of limbo/endless reboot situation. I spent about 5 minutes cursing (as in "GIGABUTT!!!, I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS NONSENSE!" and 10s more words :D ) before I regained my composure. After stripping all non-essential components, rechecking connections/cabling, looking for debris, (clearing CMOS alone did nothing), etc, the motherboard once again came to life. It sprung back with a warning about a POST error and suggested I choose "last known good" from its menu.. OK... :D
All is well, for now.......... :D

EDIT : For the record, the above happened at stock speeds (NO OC) with a (test-bed) Celeron E1200 @ F2d rom.
Hunh.. really? ..or maybe this will be like the x48 blackops adventure/experience, where they took about 2 yrs to dial-in a beta bios that fixed up most of the known bugs. :D (I'm actually impressed they went this far, considering how the quantum force group was gutted by foxconn - post-2008 economic-meltdown fears.)
I'm hoping for more from Gigabyte. Come on guys, I don't want to buy ASUS boards in the future. :D

Due to previous experiences elsewhere, I also avoid AUTO whenever I can. However, after this little event, I became slightly paranoid and set as many things as I could to AUTO... Everything seems OK right now, but I suppose I'll have to make some changes. :up:
It's a shame this USB3P has no integrated boot-code hexadecimal led display. :down:
I hope I don't have to invest in something like this : http://www.akl-it.com/en/our-product...179-post-probe :scope:

You have a moster chip, congrats :up:
just run 20 loops linx @ 4.230Ghz but with ram @ 1128Mhz - altered GTL refs to 0.670 and passed! but with highest cpu temp of 70c - is this OK? nothing else i do appart from linx will give temps of anything close to this = P95 is normally 15c lower than linx and games gives me high 40s
dropped gtl refs to 0.660x and dropped vtt to 1.28v getting solid 56Gflops will post screeny soon:) 81c cpu under linx load - i suppose thats ok as nothing comes close to this amount of stress, not game, not P95 etc.. it was only for 20 mins!!
EDIT: for some reason lowering those gtl refs from 0.670 to 0.660x has increased my gflops output - but increased my temps?? why is that anyone????
been messing with OC and i get this odd thing happeneing:
My load temps using 1.3375v were 82c (20 loops LinX)
But when I drop my vCore to 1.33125v my load temps are 72c ( 20 loops LinX)
why the massive drop in temps with only a 0.00625v decrease in vCore?
p5q deluxe.
I got this chip for nearly a few months now and I kept it at 4GHz with no problems. I saw everyone is hitting much higher so I tried to hit 480x9=4.32. No matter how I mess with the voltages, I always fail Linx. The included SS is set at 480 FSB and multi at 8.5 so I can be sure the mobo is not the limiting factor for 480 FSB. Any ideas?
Batch # L0826B006
Vtt 1.4
Vcore 1.35 BIOS LLC ON
vmch 1.26
Vpll 1.59
Vmem 1.96, loosened timings (stable as seen in SS. Will tune later.)
Tried Vtt 1.44
Vcore 1.425
vmch 1.34
No go...
Attachment 107825
EDIT:
Tried 1.5 vtt
1.45 vcore
1.4 vmch
Still no go. Looks like I hit the limit with this chip? The highest I can get stable regardless of voltages is 4.18. I thought the B were monsters...
@pogiman:
List all of your bios settings using this template:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=2378
Yeah what are your skews and ref's at pogiman? They will make or break your OC.
Here are my settings. I tried with one stick and four sticks of RAM, still freezes. Just the fact that its pretty stable by just lowering the multi makes it seems that the CPU just cannot go over 4.2ghz
@NoGuru - my ref are set to 66%. I tried 65% and system freezes as well. I havent tried higher yet.
