All 9650's are E0 :)
yup they are... and great ones at that.
oh and guys. Question.
what would be a better choice. They are both Lightly used. The GT Odin 800w PSU.. with the software adjustable pots, on sale for $81 bucks or something. or the Silverstone Decathalon. aka the DA750 for $115.00 I know the Odin 800 is cheaper.. but witch is better and would be better for pushing my Q9650. should I just get the higher w, cheaper one. the odin 800w..???
Apolla.. i see you said to get the Silverstone 1200w.. thats huge. I don't think I need all that.
I have the Odin 800 and I think it's one of the best PSU's I have ever owned. I had the OCZ Gamestream 700w before and this Odin kicks it butt.
just got my 2nd Q9650 batch #L827B623 pack date 9-25-08 .too tired to install it . too burnt out from last nite tryin\ oc'in theGigabyte P45UD3 which I RMA'ed this morning (it was a DUD ) & I get another UD3 tomorrow Love that EGG Soo easy to work with !! ..
lol same batch/pack date as my 2nd q9650.. may yours be better than mine bigslappy :toast:
well i finaly got to os boot the ep45t extreme + 2 x 1GB supertalent 2000ddr3.. wacky/loco combo to say the least :shakes:

despite the benches.. dq6 is way more extreme than the "extreme" :up:
ill keep trying at 4.8ghz os boot but if i do get it to boot itll be a miracle.. ill get more ddr3 kits before i give up on the extreme
dq6 (1.94vtt bios max) - if you want the highest/max q9650 clocks
extreme (1.80vtt bios max) - 24/7 @ 4.5ghz maybe big maybe @ ~4.8ghz
the idioticity of things huh ?
wow.. some 2000 Mhz Ram.. thats some fast @$$ Ram. I'd sure love to have some of that. instead of my ghetto 1000 ram that only runs on 933 Stable.. anything else BSOD.. lame huh. haha
So Napalm. what do you think about those 2 PSU choices.??
Also Napalm I have one other question for you. I'm at 4.0 Ghz with 1.304v in CPU-Z but in order to run at 4.1 Ghz Prime Stable I need 1.354v in BIOS and I've only gone up to 1.35v on FSB/VTT.
would I have a better chance at being stable at 4.1 Ghz if I went to 1.4v FSB/VTT.?? and do you really think it's ok to run VTT that high 24/7?
and my last question for you. is what clock are you running for 24/7 on your Q9650??
So Mate !
Is it worth pulling the Striker down for this board or going back to DDR2 and a DQ6. I can swap the EP45T extreme over for a DQ6 from my wholesaler if required seeing I haven't opened it up yet.
It seems that the EP45T Extreme isn't all that great at clocking the CPU and memory together. Is that what you are finding ?
thanks for the info markost and xguntherc the q9650 it is thinking of the striker II as well does it have the overclock protection like the board i have now so i not pulling the cmos batt every bad try?
on psu's, my antec 850 quattro in hwmon says 12.03v , whats the diff between that and one running at 12.48v if ya only need 12.0v, is it just to close so it can go below 12 easier?
how about this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817379009 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153043 and is the 80 plus thing that big of a deal? sounds pretty cool, consistant power , lower heat and all, but are they really better? so many don't need to go as high useing a 80 plus?
getting amped about this new sys ! bought a evga gtx 280 today to give it a shot i think it's numbers will be as good if not better then the 3870's x2 i have , so 2 of those on the striker II could be the plan for me.
Markost do you have fans on Both sides of the rad? wow pullin and pushin! that would be some flow!
SG,
Yeah, the idea here is to use low RPM fans so noise is kept to an absolute minimum. Volume of air is what's important and not the speed at which it goes through the rad. I tried a 'normal' type setup with single fans running at high RPM's and there was little or no difference to temps, so the quiet way got the nod.
Those volts are high for this chip it only needed 1.216 for 11hours small fft @ 4ghz. Volts hasnt never been the problem with this chip, just FSB.
I guess its all down to how high you a prepared to have vtt, especially for 24/7 use. Looking at hicookies quad @ 540 FSB he has a vtt of 1.63
Been trying today to get 500FSB stable on my Q9650.
Ive set vtt/Mch higher than i would normally dare (1.7+) but it didnt make any difference. Ive also copied Hicookies settings in this post but it still fails super_pi and blend instantly. My ram is OCZ flex 2 9200 so normally handles 500Mhz with ease.

This chip only needed 1.216vcore for small FFT with 445x9 but fails in a few minutes with 500x8 with 1.3vcore.
:confused:
No one else so far :)
yeh i didnt know i have so many twin brothers from another mothers LOL
goodness xguntherc youre a handful :)
please dont ask me what vtt/vcore/vpll/vi/o/vdimm/vnb is ok for 24/7.. this goes to everyone.. thats up to you guys to decide.. all voltages kill hardware.. whether it takes longer or less time to kill the end result is all the same
i have suggested what psu to go with.. but at least give the odin psu a try
my goal is 4.8ghz 24/7
since road-runner posted 4.6ghz on the 750 pcpower&cooling thats what ive been suggesting.. but i can not guarantee since i dont have the psu.. up to you guys to try
its worth it if you got ddr3 kits to play with
the 4.5ghz im only able to do @ auto ratio and auto vdimm
that 1000mhz is @ 2.256vdimm.. not much more i can do with..
if i set vdimm manually: no system boot
if i set anything other than the auto ratio: no os boot
some kind of protection or the bios needs lots of fixing.. my hands are tied up at such low vdimm
if id have the corsair dominator 2133 kit id be able to show you guys 4.8ghz/2136ddr3 @ auto ratio/vdimm.. but im not gonna spend 500+$ on the kit but instead ill just ditch the ddr3 extreme and try the ddr2 extreme
but of course no one else.. not one of you got the same parts i do :shrug:
some think they know better
some always looking for shortcuts
i can go on and on
its like pulling teeth and it is tiring but once one of you get 4.8ghz out of your q9650 my work here is done
-
alright.. your voltages are all messed up
ill get back to you with a ss of easytune @ 4.5ghz
youre welcome m8 :)
the 2.256vdimm is @ 4.8ghz/2136ddr auto ratio/vdimm
-
easy breezy 4.5ghz on air @ ep45t extreme..
http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/8224/45gh5.jpg
same voltages @ dq6 except for the vdimm..
vdimm dq6 @ 2.4-2.5 more or less depending on the modules
heres the 4.8ghz on air @ dq6
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=304
for other ep45ers this may or may not work since the mobos are not quite the same
use this as an indication.. if this doesnt work for you..
fiddle around with higher vcore for ex: ~1.5 @ 4.5ghz.. ~1.6 @ 4.8ghz.. your q9650 may need more/less vtt
exactly what voltages work on your setup is for you guys to find out
note1: all voltages set @ bios
note2: no gtl adjusting
note3: cpu/pcie clock drive @ 1000mV.. cpu/mch skew @ 0ps: anything other than 0ps = no system boot
xguntherc this is for you m8.. went back through the pages to get you these so you have a better idea what vcore/vtt it takes

all on air/ifx14 cooling
Could people post their cpu GTL ref's here please?
I know all cpu's may be different, but it may help others as a starting point.
Thanks
Appreciate you posting this again, i did last night try my voltages also as your previously posted easytune screenshot but no luck. I tried many other variations as well including the screenshot i posted above which is similar to Hicookies settings.
I was only trying 500x8 instead of 500x9 (as that wouldnt even boot) so my vcore shouldnt need to be above 1.3v.
I will however try your cpu/pcie clock drive settings tonight and hopefully they will be the key.

:surf:
devious - yes cpu/pcie clock drive must be @ 1000mV
well this the most im able to get out of my supertalent 2000 kit on the extreme

if you dont see ^ here it is 4.8ghz from systemviper on the ud3

goodness gracious a long last.. *sigh* well thanks to systemviper my presence here has come to an end :)
may your oc always be merry
goodbye guys :)
