Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread
**OFFICIAL Gigabyte UD3 P45 Yorkfield (45nm Quads) OC and Discussion Thread**
Two thumbs up :up::up:
True, as my Q6600 can do 4.05GHz stable easy on 1.35vcore and it isn't fussy about everything. Not like my E5200 and E8500.Quote:

whats the difference between 2.00D and 2.00B guys?
what exactly is the "terminal" voltage for CPU and MCH?
what about "reference"?
i'm coming from a ds3p that didn't have these options
I didn't have time to read thru 100 pages of the thread. I'm waiting on this board to arrive. Anyone have problems with Buffalo Firestix PC2800 memory with it?
this may be answered somewhere in the 144 pages of this thread but i will ask to save myself the long read ;)
has there been any development on the S3 sleep problems on this board? i have tried a great number of ram modules, settings, etc, and i cannot resolve this issue...
cheers
I don't think the problem has been fixed.Quote:

2.00B if you use 500x8 the lowest peformance level setting would be 10
where as if you 2.00D and 500x8 the lowest pl setting is 9
200 strap: 3:4, 3:5, 1:2
266 strap: 4:5, 2:3, 1:2
333 strap: 1:1, 5:6, 5:8, 1:2
400 strap: 1:1, 3:4, 2:3
example:333strap-1:1=2.00B / 5:6=2.40B / 5:8=3.20B
terminal voltage for the cpu is the vtt or vFSB
cpu ref and mch ref are your Gtl settings.with these you'll have to find the right ones for you cpu and board(trial and error)
this will help with that

hope this helps:D
okay lets hold off on the VTT/reference voltages till i ge tthe MCH latchQuote:

i'm fine w/ running my ram @ 400mhz instead of the rated 500mhz
okay.if you use the 5:6 divider 333strap 2.40B it will give you ddr-960.heres the math for 5:6 divider
400fsb x 6 = 2400 then divide by 5 = 480 x 2 = 960Mhz. thats how the dividers work.
heres the 4:5 divider 400fsb x 5 = 2000 divide by 4 = 500 x 2 = 1000Mhz
hope this helps.
Put my q9550 back in to play with some more. Think I may be able to get vcore down another notch with some tweaking. Ran this today.
WOW,thats a great chip you got there.whats the vid on that one?Quote:

it got the 8.5 right? if so have you tried 8.5x506 for 4300?boy thats a nice vid though
maybe you can get 4300 with less than 1.39v
yes 8.5 multi. Will try it tonight and see.
Need to get this on water cooling (which I don't have), ran it for a couple minutes at 506x8.5 but temps were to high.
sounds good (kind of)Quote:

400 strap is the easiest and needs the least amount of vMch and you can set a lower pl level than the 333 strap
the 333 strap is easy to but like i said if the you take a hit in the pl setting.
266 strap at higher fsb speeds you'll need more vMch. so say you run 450fsb and use the 333 strap
and need only 1.24vMch then you run 450fsb and use the 266strap it might require 1.30vMch
Thanks for that heads up :up:Quote:

Nice run. :up: Are you meaning it actually wont go higher or you just dont want to push it higher because of temps? 60 is not very hot.
I have room left for increasing vcore but the temps get higher than I like. At 506x8.5-1.3625v (bios) it gets pretty warm running Prime, mid to upper 70's in small fft's so I backed it down. It was a lot cooler when I took that ss back in April. I may need to reapply the thermal paste and see if it helps.
Have yet to get the magic number (4.5ghz) stable with 5 45nm cpu's. Did have a 3 hour run with an e8400 at 4.5 but was at 1.4875vcore thought that was to high so I quit the run even though temps were good. Maybe "Im not Xtreme" should be under my name in red IDK lol.
EDIT: BTW Thanks, Sorry for my poor etiquette, I was sitting here getting yelled at by the wife while I was typing.
I was just wondering because low 60s isnt very hot, but if its getting mid to upper 70s now, yea I wouldnt push higher either. :up:
