Nope. I increased vcore to 1.475 and then vtt to 1.36, still no go. I then increased vmch to 1.40 still no go. For this test, I set my mem to 2.1V to be sure they are not the problem. It is the Gskill with powerchips, so imm sure they are not the issue. I am out of ideas for this chip.

On a side note: When increasing vtt and vcore to the above values, it freezes within 1 minute of Linx. Using the values Hoss311 gave allows Linx to run for 5 minutes before locking up. I am now testing it at 4.25vcore and 1.3vtt and so far, it has pass the first run. Could be the cpu getting too hot?

EDIT: Passing 4 runs utilizing 6900MB. 23 minutes without error. I'll do some gaming on it and see if its stable.

So if Hoss's settings are getting you closer, what has changed from your old MIT? Try changing those values one at a time in each direction until you can go longer.

Ok Hoss's setting get me through at least 4 passes on linx but I crash in L4D2 within 3 minutes of entering a game. I also had the vcore lowered to 4.25, so it may seem vcore is not holding me back. Could be the vtt since it was at 1.3, however, in my previous tests, I had vtt at 1.5V and it still froze. GTL is always set at 66%. I will give it another go with the new skew settings at the higher voltages.

Some of the files were giving me a CRC error on all the drives. (cannot extract with winrar) It happens on usb drives as well. I am reinstalling windows now. Maybe all the lockups corrupted something? Oh well, more wear and tear on my SSD give me a reason to buy that 600GB SSD in a few years. :)

if it crashes on games after linx its MCH, pump it up to 1,42 and retry---VTT won't help and remember to keep it near vcore

Question: If keep all timing and FSB settings the same and I only adjusted the voltage settings, the GFLOPS change. I thought it was the mobo setting its own internal timings so I did tested it by retstarting and doing a "cold boot." I get the same number again. It is only when i change the voltages, the numbers change. Is this because the mch has its own timings that is adjusted automatically? The residual number remains the same, however.

How are the later B and C revisions overclock wise?

Anyone with a sub 1.4V 4.5Ghz 24/7 air stable chip?

4.5Ghz 24/7 air = not possible

well depends i had the same situations when wasnt stable...but also some versions of linx did that

Well, there is "tiny" difference between running super pi 1MB and 20 LinX loops with 3GB+ memory allocated + 8hr prime95 x64 blend @ priority 10 + a couple of days crunching Rosetta@home for instance. :)

Recently, I bought ga-ep45-ud3p again to give it a chance with my q9650 e0, because last time, 450fsb with the same board but with q9550 c1 was impossible. The result is completely different now:

q9650@4815MHz(9x535) 5.89

very nice results:up: quads at 535fsb is such a sweet thing to see:D

Jorbl3r had a chip that could do 4.5 @ 1.35 on air on a crappy HDT air cooler.

Chilled water or just regular wc?

I've been dying to get my hands on a 4.5Ghz Q9650. Do not want to switch to 1366 just yet because I know UD3Ps / Q9650s so well.

4400@1.376V running the motherboard outside the case.

I have his Q9650 and it did 4.8 on air, I think it's in my sig.

It did a picture @ 4.8 on air. LiquidReactor is asking about 24/7 system.

and here is the air winner :D:D

not stable, only CPU-Z verification ;);)

Maybe not the winner but definitely one of the highest air clocks. :up: This is the highest I got mine on air using a S1283/FM122 fan, and if I remember correctly I believe Jor had a run closer to 5ghz with cold air.

He reran it later at 4.5Ghz ~ 1.35V after he ran did couple LN2 benchies with it.

regardless I think it is funny that this cpu can pass a full week of p95 but can't manage 20 passes of linx:rofl:

either way it has been working great with no problems in any games.

what happens when u linx then?
