I don't think zoson gets that we are joking around with the LinX results...
Yeah, & as for stability, i want to see LinX max RAM 10+ passes & P95 Large 3+ hrs. before i'd say you're anywhere close ;)

It took me basically twisting peoples arms until I finally started seeing something worthwhile. Not to mention the biggest talkers like you Sergio have yet to post anything actually relevant - other than a screenshot of you running linx at an overclock lower than mine. All you do is make fun of my overclocks and my equipment. You say I'm not respectful. Look in a mirror, hater.
Oh, and where's this SLI hack that everyone says is out there? All I find in Google when I search for it is threads about how the author disappeared, it only ran in safe mode anyway, and it was never actually released.
zoson, overclock Quad it's not the same that overclock Duo. Many mobo can 550 with Duo, but the same mobo can't even 470-480 with Quad.
>500 with Quad is VERY HARD.
My P5E3 Premium X48 could clock well over 525FSB on E8600 but could BARELY get 450FSB stable with my Q9450 and Q9650. Entirely different ball game when switching to QUAD.Quote:

I have NEVER posted a spi run, especially as a test for stability. I always post blend. If you had read the thread as you say, you would know this and also have seen Sergios blend runs along with those posted by the other fine people in this thread. I am still waiting to see some impressive oc's from you. Show us some blend at 4500mzh@ your 1.5+vcore, or maybe 500 passes of LinX, as that is your standard of stability.Quote:

Hi fellas. Been reading this thread for a while, decided to finally join the forum, as most of you directly responsible for me dumping more money into my system lol. I am planning to switch to i7-870, but before I do I wanted to push my q9650 and ep45-dq6 as far as it can go. I got her now @ 4.4Ghz for 24/7 use, but I think my vcore is a lil high. Idling in CPU-z it shows something like 1.456...
I AM SORRY IF THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE TO POST THIS! I did search the form first and found a thread for my board, but it was mostly tech discussion there rather than oc...
Anyway got a 8hrs stable test @ 4.4Ghz with this settings. Was trying to see if it will actually go past 4.3. I think my CPU Vcore is still too high. 1.53 just makes me nervous. I think I will lower it a bit and try it again. Saw a post somewhere with my quad and same board running at 4.5 24/7 and benched at 4.9, so I know it is doable. Now I just need to work out what is holding me back. Still need to figure out reference mess. Temps look totally fine, highest it got was 56*C, but my room is at like 77*F right now...

Yeah right. 500 passes of LinX and then still fail Prime Blend after some time. :yepp:Quote:

I've maintained this whole time that LinX is by far a better stress tester than Prime. Prime can pass 24 hours while LinX still fails after a short period of time. I've seen this behavior in the last four CPU's I've owned. I'm quite convinced that people like you bash it because you can't pass it stable. Complete denial of the fact that your OC is not stable.
Now you guys are fronting like a bunch of kids. Clearly I use 200 LinX loops to test my stability, as seen in my screenshots. I asked sergio to prove his OC with 500 loops max mem. If you guys can't see that he's deflecting instead of proving, well I feel sorry for you. If he were truely stable, this conversation would have been over long ago when he posted his screenshot.
I thought XS would be a haven for people who were serious about overclocking, but instead I find another forum full of fanboys defending their false champions.
You have very little experience with a c2q it seems. Using LinX, my cpu require less vcore to pass than when testing with blend. This was not the case with my e8400. If you go back a few pages and read you will see where several other had the same findings.Quote:

You then dictate to us the definition of stability and imply that anything that differs from this is not acceptable to you (like we care). All anyone was trying to say in the beginning before you went off the deep end was that your board, however nice it may be was not designed for overclocking a c2q, that you would have better results on a more appropriate board for the job.
+10 for thatQuote:

Right there, is where you're wrong - prime IS NOT small ftts alone. The real deal is large ftts (especially when you're running high clocks with high fsbs and ram around 1200mhz). The reverse is true - you need more juice to pass blend and large ftts than linx. Yeah that 200 passes with your DUAL CORE is nice, BUT THIS IS A QUAD THREAD; and that's why you came here for help because that same board that took your dual to 550 can hardly take a quad to 460 fsb stable! You need to listen and listen well; to play with the big boys in this thread, you'll need to discard that NV mobo and get a p45 board - hell, get a UD3x board and you can come back and thank us later.Quote:

Edit: Nub beat me to it.
Got time for a little more testing. I lapped my TRUE Cu as it was not giving good contact, which reduced max temp - this allowed me to lower vcore. Also got an hour blend done, no time for anymore until later in the week perhaps.

Temps seem pretty decent on water. Any ideas on what can get me 4.5? I did a 4.5 run just before this BSOD after 4hrs, upping vcore 1 core dumped after 2hrs... Have been fighting with this thing for 3-4days now to get 4.5ghz. It will do anything up to 4.3 without even sweating... run to 4.4 kicked my arse, and 4.5Ghz has been a pain as well.
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z...1979/44Run.jpg
I see you have quite a temp variation between cores as well. I have two cores that have a 5-7 degrees difference from the other two. I am going to try reapplying the thermal paste and see if that helps. It was my first try with this new paste and I might have done it wrong. I lapped my QX6700 and I am not afraid of doing it to this one if it gets me lower temps.
(lapping my QX6700 saved 10 degrees C!)
When I took off my heatkiller thermal paste was not spread even...
You read my mind, I ordered a lapping kit from frozen cpu yesterday... I think it should help some, cuz no matter what I do and how I apply the paste it does not look right.
Never did actually, even with my Sunbeam CCF.. go figure. Oh and I am using the 24-carat diamond compound. Supposed to knock off couple of degrees of the AS5 scores, but who knows...
7hrs and change.
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z...1979/447hr.jpg
I'll try lowering vcore some more to see what happens I guess.

WOW. That is exactly how mine looks... I tried the drop in the middle method, spread even method nothing worked... Nice to know that I am not entirely crazy. I will lap my 9650 asap, see what I can get out of it. Temp drop would be a pleasant bonus, I would even settle for temp stability between the cores lol. I have read mixed reviews about lapping the heat-killer, so I will let it be... Funny don't want to ruin a $90 waterblock, instead I am taking a sandpaper to $349(what I paid for it) CPU....Quote:

Davit, I have the DQ6 also. My best results were with the following ref's. CPU ref 1-.775, CPU ref 2 default.800, MCH ref-.795. Try setting default vtt 1.20v and then set these ref's, then bump vtt back up to where you need it leaving ref's alone. These same ref settings worked on 3 45nm quads. Going up a few notches on your vtt to around 1.36v combined with better reference voltage settings may help you lower vcore some.
I was told that the base of the True's are concave so I lapped mine and got much better temps. I have recently retired my Q9650 to my Media Server and have the True running on a 920 D0. Temps are great. Try lapping your True. By the impressions on your CPU and True in looks like it is concave, as it's making contact in the center and not on the sides.
Oh that is fantastic! I was looking for some input on that, thanks man!:up:Quote:

You may be able to lower vcore more than you think with these ref's but it also depends on the chip. 4400mhz with default ref's is pretty good. Remember that the ref's are linked to vtt so when you set these 3 ref's make sure you default your vtt to 1.20v first, then raise vtt back up.
Also what are your advanced clock control settings? Napalm had suggested using 1000/1000/0/0 so i tried it and that worked best for me also.
Yeah that is what I read as well, thank you for the tip.Quote:

Sorry almost forgot, and pardon the stupid question, to set the default vtt to 1.20 do I just set it to that, save and boot and then reset it to what I need to, or do I just load optimized defaults, save and then adjust what I need?
For 8gb of ram you may need a lot more mch. I had only tested using 4gb kit. With 4gb you should be able to lower Static tRead Value to 9, may work on 8gb as well but am not positive.Quote:

Davit, just lower vtt to 1.20v in bios, set ref's, then raise vtt back up. no need to load defaults.
OK. Thanks brother! Doing it right now.

Using asus p5q delux, I did have a Dq6, I found it to be more flakey than the asus

In my experience, even though not perfect, CPU's are a lot flatter than heatsinks/blocks. Also as you said, a block is a lot cheaper than a Q9650. If I were you, I'd try lapping the block at least a small amount, before lapping the cpu.Quote:

Particularly as this is coming with 8Gb of OCZ blades and a handful of modding trinkets. They have reassured me it won't be long though so I'll hopefully get it in time for the weekend.
I'm ready to receive all that extra speed :D Best of luck with 4.5 and sending all positive thoughts your way :up:Quote:

I did indeed buy a UD3P for a bit, but i wasn't very happy with it. (This was with my Q9550 & Mushkin 8 GB previously, granted.)
I saw right away how nice it was for clocking w/ 4 GB, but then i put the other two DIMMs in, & it turned into crap.
I couldn't even get it to POST past 467 FSB unless i was using the 266 strap, & while i eventually i thought i got 8.5x471 stable, the exact same setting were unstable the next time i ran stesstesting (they'd passed before).
In general, i found the board to be very inconsistent & flakey for 8 GB use, so i went back to my P5Q-D, where at least i find it consistent.
Here's i'm running 4.275 GHz

It's not really stable though, & i don't like running settings that don't run everything i throw at it.
Also, temps get too high around 4.2 GHz or higher as somehow even my lapped TRUE sucks.
Thanks ever so much :up:Quote:

Well vantage was weird... MY gpu score was lower when I run it on single card overclocked. I know the sli is working cuz I can turn second card off and on in nvidia control panel... but something is definitely not working.Quote:

You should do at least the same as me with that batch mate, but what revision of ud3p you had ? 8GB with the UD3P is perfectly doableQuote:

KRich,if you ever decide to get rid of your
Q9650,i want it!!!:D
well i will actually take any of your guys chips
(n7,Davit,sergio,CryptiK,OCnub and so on and so on)
god i want a low vid Q9650.
so remember if any of you guys decide to sell
your Q9650's please oh please shoot me a PM:rolleyes:
:rofl: i trade it for ya 4200 I7 on 1,2vcore :rofl:Quote:

im very new to i7,maybe ill find
it to be fun in time.:)
Your i7 is epic radaja, you should be very happy with it.
I feel the same though, i7 I find quite boring to overclock and tweak, but perhaps as you said it may grow on me. I just use it as my workstation / game pc though, I have no real desire to push it hard or bench it. Mine does 4.2 @ 1.296v so it's ok, but its not as nice as yours.
Keep looking around for a Q9650, they can be damn nice chips, and this thread is proof. I don't have the right board to get the most out of mine though. I just came across my chip by pure luck, I was looking for a good i7 batch and I saw the L847C Q9650 and took the chance.
Keep on at it :up: I'm going to start heading north of 4.4GHz once my water cooling enhancements have been added to the mix as that will allow me to push further.Quote:

Quattro - thanks for that. Is your OC Linx max mem / Prime Large FFT stable?
I may dust off my REX and drop the quad in and see how it does.
100% stable :) .
Hey fellas is there a "safe" - I am using this term loosely - limit for VTT and VCORE on Q9650???
I mean no guts no glory I am all good with that, but stupid is just that - stupid.
No point on getting 4.5 at the expense of the cpu lol.
Was that a wrong question? Did I kill this thread lol?Quote:

Cheers to all :up:

Very nice PSU, hope it does you well. I wonder how much that 12v rail will come down when it has the full PC load on it? Should still be good though, it performed well in the reviews.
Will measure it Cryptik soon as i installed :up:Quote:
