Mine came today.... rest of hardware in sig..... 4.5Ghz is next :yepp:
Edit: I got stuck temps at 32/32/37/37
Nice clocks here guys.. I was able to Load and do some benchies at 4.275 Ghz.. with 1.34v in CPU-Z and 1.378 in BIOS. So I'm doing ok, still trying to decide what should be my 24/7 I've been running 4.0 for a while now, but I can do better with same temps.
I'm going water-cooling next week. so after I get that all setup, I think I might go for 4.3 Ghz 24/7 but that needs over 1.38v to be stable.. I'm ok to run this thing at 24/7 under water at 1.39v BIOS, and 1.45 VTT right?
Also Zucker, how are you liking that CM HAF, I'm seriously considering getting that case, it's sweet, and the big brother to my CM 690. Not to mention that it's Great for water, can fit dual 320 rad's in there. I have a PA 120.2 coming Monday. so maybe I'll get the HAF for all my new toys. :)
Good one on the watercooling :up:Quote:

Thanks for the advice, I check ed out quite a few Blocks and the Xigmatek 1284 came out shinning in a few different reviews and for the price There was no beating it.. So hopefully here by Friday... And we'll try from there.. Odd thing my temps with this Zalman 9700 are reporting pretty low 30-30-31-32 iDLE depending on my vcore the highest was like 60-61-59-59 @ 1.25v...440 fsb
The other thing making me twitch is my CPU PLL its hovering at 1.63 and I havent been able to get it lower? even when I set it to 1.5 in my bios its up to 1.63 when I check the hardware monitor in the Bios??? Odd and i was reading somewhere that that high a PLL is a cpu killer??? how can I get it lower? :banana::banana::banana::banana: even setting to auto in bios its still the same any ideas??:shakes:

.63 was good for me on my x38 (same as x48) but on my p45 I run .675 so it changes :)Quote:

On another note what are peoples thoughts about 'running in' a new processor???
What do you guys do with new chips? Do people increase volts to the chip incrementally or go straight for 4Ghz+? Personally I don't think it makes much difference but my brother just got his one...and errr :)
Finally rock stable:

Check out the vcore :D
Normally I have to raise the cpu gtls as I raise vvt. I start at .635 then usually have to raise it .005 for each .02 increase in vtt.
Great work there Celcius, all that work finally paid off! As you mention your VCORE is especially impressive to say the least! With that said could/would you post your other voltages (just the main ones, VTT, PLL, NB, SB, and GTL's)? Thanks man and great work!
radaja - I've also got the same exact chip (well same stepping anyway) with the same VID however I've yet to push mine past 3.6Ghz. However I've got all day off tomorrow and I'm hoping to start pushing this thing a bit, can't wait!
Zucker2K - I see you mention your temps are stuck, just to be clear your temps don't change at all despite load (I ask because one of my cores is stuck). My CORE3 temps don't go below 38C no matter what, however as the loads rise the temp will go above 38C, just never below. Even though its not a bit deal it annoyes me big time (it must really stink to have all 4 cores stuck)!
roger D25,awesome! i wish i had the day off.ive been working way too much overtime this week, so i havent been able to do any more OCing on my new 9650.its been real hard..cant wait till the weekend.keep us posted on your OC's.
Its tough to read this thread each night about how well everyones Q9650's are clocking but not being able to work on your own system (although I'm very greatful to have a job at all)! I will definately try to post my results ASAP as long as I'm able to get some decent results that is, lol! Keep pushing it guys!
definitely better to be working currently than to have to sit around overclocking all day with no money :yepp:Quote:

nb: 1.7 :shrug:
fsb: 1.4
strap: 333
Stable for more than 1 hour now
All Temps are looking good with H2O, around 35-40c
Seems like I have to pump alot more volts into the cpu and nb in order to get over 4ghz with this board and chip, scared to pump more, am I at a limit with this board?
Right now this looks to be the highest I am able to go stably with this board. It doesnt matter what settings I change or how much more voltage I give it, it will not pass anything higher. Ive been playing with this for a coupe days now and it always fails after the 2nd test or the 4th test on p95 8k. So I guess Ill give the UD3P at try and maybe some ddr3 ram this time. Any suggestions on some good clocking ddr3 ram?

i'm also having trouble reaching 500fsb. right now i'm at 490 and i can't get the last few mhz in. i suspect that it's my memory not letting me go higher, but is there any way i can find out for sure? i'm using crucial ballistixs (yeah i know, it's crucial :( ) and it won't boot at 5-5-5-18 so i loosened the timing to 6-6-6-20. i'll post a template for all my settings later.
most of the time, the unstability shows when the whole computer freezes instead of certain cores failing when priming. is this memory problem is do i need to tune something else?
These chips can boot into windows at very low volts, but keeping them stable is the problem.
9x 500FSB with 8GB RAM:
WOW 500 FSB quad on an x48 is a major acomplishment :clap::clap: :DQuote:

thats always the challenge with the asus boards ain't it? :DQuote:

either way you have a killer chip on that board :up:
It's a work in progress; I don't have any experience with DFI boards, but Asus hasn't let me down either. See my sig for 500FSB Quad primes on Asus boards with 8GBs of ram. :cool:Quote:

What do you mean? Did you see my sig? Note I'm using 8GBs of ram. I've seen no board do that :shrug:Quote:

I still don't understand what you're saying; are you saying I can't prime95 500 FSB or that I can't prime95 above 4.2Ghz? I've done all those, and with even 8GBs of ram. I guess be very specific what you think is undoable, and I'd try it. :up:Quote:

All I see is that you say none of them are stable so far. If stable post settings I have loads of friends with Asus wanting to get there too.
Stable and useful for others in this thread is something like this:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=1308
Zucker if you can get 500x9 stable on X48 you are the man!
At 500x9 my setup does not last in Prime95 for long. 490x9 is Prime small fft and blend stable though :)
I will try, 8GB ram should make it doubly difficult, but I'll try.Quote:

What is stable these days? Is it still the 8hour P95?
Sorry for your bad day, I'm not the one to blame :rolleyes:Quote:

So when you said you're not stable in one post and couple of posts down you say that you are it confuses a lot of people.
I just said if stable please post information to back that up and share results with ss proof and templates jeez...
I posted an example of what people here expect as stable and template model.
All Q9650 chips E0? Wanna be sure :rolleyes:
Sorry for my E0la syndrome...
Thanks...
yes
Yes you can't go wrong with these chips! All E0.Quote:

Wow! Great... Will be there soon with my new CPU :)
Thanks for rapid answers...
Is the Q9650 worth the $50 premium over the Q9550?
depends on what motherboard and cooling you have....
I`m just curious to see how far I can play with the chip and got this after few reboot. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=494446
I manage to boot into windows once at 5Ghz but forgot to do validation. Fail to do that again after that. :( Will try again this weekend.
Bad thing is I killed my 4850 when I drop a Maglite torchlight on it while poking around the motherboard.:rofl:
Water cooled...D-tek...Thermochill...etc...either DFI UT P45, EVGA 780i, or Foxconn ELA...the first and last with Volterra digital CPU VRD.
the q950 is probably worth it because with those p45s your gonna be able to hit 4.5 with luck
heres my latest, going to call it a night and wake up early and start doing some serious OCing.http://i41.tinypic.com/juixpj.jpg
Q9550 Quick 2hr P95 run... still priming...
http://www.hostthenpost.org/uploads/...869dbf62b3.jpg
very very nice zucker2k.thats just amazing,with 8gigs of ram.seeing what you can with 8GB,makes me want to take out my cellshocks and throw in my 8GB of g.skill 8800's.since im still unable to run high fsb with this 9650 and use the 5:6 divider.
Thanks, Radaja. A few things; I'm running a rather high vcore (should be around 1.50v for my C1 Q9550; the NBv is also high because of the 8GB ram with high fsb.Quote:

For 8.5 x 500 FSB, and 8GB ram, I usually need 1.65v for the NB, with 4Gb (2x 2GB, around 1.59v). I just wanted to run everything a bit higher than normal as I'm not tweaking, but just trying to show what's possible with the hardware in my sig, 4 hard drives, and an optical drive; all connected. I don't have a bench station, this is my everyday system with regular OS (Vista x64 SPI).Quote:

That's one hot cpu :eek:
dang i thought i was pumpin alot :cool:
Lol, I've primed it to 1c of tjmax; tjmax is there for a reason. Good thing is, it's still running. :p:Quote:

zucker2k awesome! im satisfied with two hours of prime,so i think you can can definetly call that stable!great OC.keep it up
sorry for the double post.well i got it to 506x8.5 4300 and i was able to lower some voltages.this is such an awesome proccessor.i mean its almost like im still OCing my E8500.its actually using less vcore to do 4300 than my e8500 EO needed for 4300.this board with the 9650 is just amazing.http://i44.tinypic.com/op31xu.jpg
