with the above settings it reboots before one loop is done. With different refs I have gotten 11 passes complete before a reboot.

What were the core temperatures and did the fans stop for a few seconds when the system restarted?

yup and then I need to turn off power to the psu or else I get a reboot loop similar to what you would get if you had a failed oc.

Give it a try with LLC Disabled but with higher vcore to compensate the vdrop.

I just got a Q9650 (batch# L017B688) and have it running at 4 Ghz with 1.3 Vcore.
Temps are 52/44/46/47 when folding with SMP on water.

Could I push this to 4.5??

Temps look good but your going to have to crank up the volt's to get it to 4.5
might as well try until you top out in temps.

mel is that 1,3 for 4000 stable ? you will need to try some volts as NoGuru said

VTT 1,36 / VCORE 1,4+ / MCH 1,46 i dont know EVGA gust GIGA world, and a bit of vdimm on your mem

Good luck

Sergio,

Thanks, I just decided to leave it @ 4G. Using it for folding, so @ just 1.3v it runs cool.

hey guys, another slight problem here! i'm 20 loops linx stable at the following:
4.365Ghz @ 1.36250 (bios) - cpuz reads - idle 1.352v - load 1.368v
RAM - 970Mhz 1:1 2.1v (stock volts as they're 1066's)
vNB - 1.34v
VTT - 1.32v
LLC on
all spectrums off
0.660 gtl refs 0-4
cpu pll - 1.54v
this is on a p5q deluxe with 2301 bios

it's stable running linx for 20 loops and only hits 76c as it's liquid cooled, but all games are juddering badly like lag on an online game. ive had this before, but a 4ghz/4.1Ghz,
now i'm pretty much overclocking to the chips limits it's getting harder to know what to increase voltage wise.

the northbridge has got the stock heatsink with a 120mm fan blowing over it about 20 cm away on the case panel.

any suggestions?

thanks

That is about max for the board. If it's stuttering I would turn the OC down a little.

gutted!!!

i know all the other max OC's with the quads are all on gigys ud5/6, but i really wanted to crack 4.4Ghz - was my ultimate goal!

why does it stutter then?

is there nothing i could increase to get 4.365Ghz stable? my vNB was only at 1.34v and the cpu PLL at 1.56v, the vtt was low too.

it passed all linx tests and pumped out more gflops than i've ever got.

As long as you have good air flow crank the NB volts up a bit they will help you a lot.

i've got a 120mm fan on the case side panel blowing over the mobo and NB, when i bench and do linx/prime/game i crank up the fan speeds so theres quite a bit of air flowing onto the NB - i'll try 1.4v. safe for 24/7?

I think it is safe as long as the temps are good.

Hi all, I'm thinking about buying a GA-EP45-UD3P.
(I have a Q9650 no o/c, I'm going to start with my X38ds5 but it's going to suxx I think...)

Anyway, I would like to know if there is a better rev on this motherboard ? (rev1 to 1.6)

Thanks:)

Honestly rev 1.0 was the best but, you could buy an ep45T-usb3p do 530fsb on ddr3 ram. Giving you better bandwidth.

Hey guys, possibly found a great Q9650.

Batch # L828A446 and VID 1.1375. Seller said he got it to 4.2 at 1.25 on water.

any eshop from EU which has stock? , due to having already purchased the ram for sandybridge upgrade.. (canceled the rest..) i want to try my Q9650 with a P45 DDR3 board.
EP45T-USB3P or EP45T-UD3P wanted :D

Guys im thinking about selling my q9650 and am curious what you think these chips are worth nowadays.

I think they pull about $200-$250.

Knowing your chip I think you can still get close to $250 for yours.
