going to purchase a q9550 this week to accompany a set of blade's (pc2-9200)....
problem is i want an eo stepping.... anyone bought q9550 from ocuk in the last couple of months....
if there is anywhere else in the uk that has the EO stepping id appreciate the heads up....:up:
bump a dump......:up:
I would guess that most all of the ones being sold now are EO's.

just purchased a set of 9200 blades and a Q9550 from ocuk... i phoned and the guy i spoke to said he couldnt check the stepping for me....
i insisted and twisted his ear a little and he went off to check...
he came back 10 minutes later and said the ones he checked on the shelf were all SLB8V... which indicates they are EO stepping....
will be here first thing in the morning... i will not be happy if i recieve a C1...
i'm sat thinking he was just saying anything to please me... lets hope not...:up:

purecain: Congrats and good luck with the new chip. I think the odds of getting a c1 are pretty slim now. I purchased mine from a very small local shop, they don't sell a lot of hardware and they had EO's.
the good news is i'm definatly getting an eo stepping... the bad news is they messed up my order.... :rolleyes:
the good news is i got my £12.99 shipping back, the bad news is i gotta wait till tommorrow for the delivery....:shocked:

Is this processor worth an update to a Q6600 running at 3.6GHz on an Abit IP-35 Pro?

vivid, under Advanced Clock Control on the UD3P board I set the CPU Clock Drive to 1000, PCI exe Clock Drive to 1000, CPU Clock Skew to 0 and the MCH Clock Skew to 50 = 1000/1000/0/50. Optimized default is 800/900/0/0. This is the only way I could get 500fsb stable using a 5:6 divider (1200mhz) on the ram. However I'm not sure if these values are safe so I don't run it like this. I use optimized defaults run the ram at a 1:1.

Well my 680i board just sold so I've ordered a P5Q-E and a Q9550 E0 - I've read many reviews which speak highly of this combination.
Re Q6600 to Q9550 - I'd do it, but the P35 might hold you back. The Q6600s still have amazing resale value, but not for long considering the price of the Q9550.

Any Idea??
Maybe you have reached the limits of the motherboard. There are better boards for oc'ing 45nm quads but I wouldn't spend the money for a new board to gain an extra 50-100mhz.
Maybe I Can Go Faster If Use Sub Zero Cooling?? Ln2 Or Dice Water Chiller ...
Ordered my SLB8V yesterday evening and it arrived this morning at 8:30am. Now all I need is to wait for the motherboard to arrive... :hitself:
lol. patience is a virtue, wish you good luck with your new hardware ;) Post your oc and batch later.Quote:

I would go for a new motherboard before trying expensive cooling, unless high temps are the thing holding you back. I think the Gigabyte EP45-UD3P or UD3R are better suited for overclocking 45nm quads and the price is very reasonable. Extreme cooling doesn't hurt either though.Quote:

It's getting ridiculous. This was my most recent attempt after flashing to BIOS 2101, still no post.
471x8.5
400MHz strap
RAM 942MHz 5-5-5-15 (it's GKX so no problem)
CPU Voltage 1.4500
GTL 0/2 Auto
GTL 1/3 Auto
CPU PLL Voltage 1.58
FSB Termination Voltage 1.36
DRAM Voltage 2.0
NB Voltage 1.4
NB GTL Ref Auto
SB Voltage 1.2
PCIE SATA Voltage 1.5
Load-Line Calibration Enabled
CPU Spread Spectrum Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum Disabled
CPU Clock Skew Auto
NB Clock Skew Auto
I was using 1306 bios...can anybody suggest the best bios for overclocking a 45nm quad in this board? If it is the chip that is this bad, there's no way in hell I'm keeping it, and if it's the board, I'll happily change it :shakes:
Update: Tried 471x6 as you suggested, with same settings (except vcore 1.4), system still freezes. FSB hole? :shrug:
OK now it's beyond a joke: I've gone all the way down to 400 FSB and I tried x8 for 3.2GHz with 1.3 vcore, and the system still wouldn't post. Dud motherboard? System is absolutely fine until I raise the FSB.
Set the strap to auto, NB voltage to 1.3 (yours is a little on the high side for a P45), GTL's to 0.680 for the CPU AND 0.670 for the MCH, FSB Termination voltage to 1.2, PLL to Auto
Trying to increase the FSB to that level without changing the GTL's is nigh on impossible.
Oh, and leave the SATA Voltage alone...
Amazingly I managed to boot at 3GHz, but 375 FSB is the highest I can go. I tried these exact same settings for 400 FSB and no post...
http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/m...yRhys/3GHz.png
Yeah I've been trying different settings from my previous attempts (e.g. NB and VTT are down to 1.2v), and still no luck. I'll give your suggestion a go and get back to you. Thanks. :up:Quote:

I hope so. Perhaps flashing to 2101 BIOS wasn't the right thing to do, and now I'm not sure whether to change back or just to keep trying with the same BIOS. I'll have a look through that thread and hope for the best. Thank you for the help. :up:
There are a lot of good boards for dual cores, I'm sure that DFI is great for them. Im not familiar with it but I know they make good boards.Quote:

Up to 3.8GHz now (450x8.5) and it's just a case of going to BIOS, increasing the FSB, and she gets to desktop every time with no problems at all. 4GHz is looking effortless now. :clap:
Im glad you solved mate, from there it can only get better and better :DQuote:

10 hours later and still can't get a few seconds of Prime95 without errors, so I'll take a break for the weekend. Great CPU and motherboard but a total ***** of a combo to overclock given the plethora of options in BIOS. The most frustrating thing is that I know I can get 4GHz stable, I just don't know what voltages to use. Thanks to those who helped. :)
It's all about the GTL's :)
And Every Chips Need Diffrent GTL's Setting
Unfortunately in my case it's not. :( I've been spending so much time tweaking GTLs that I've forgotten all about vcore...thinking it was an E0 I said to myself "hell no, 4GHz won't need over 1.4v seeing that most people with E0s are getting it with a vcore of below 1.3xxx" so I've been doing all my tests with 1.375 vcore, which is already generous.Quote:

Ok so vcore isn't the solution either; I'm back to 3.4GHz and still getting errors in prime - is it possible that although I seem to get more stability with increased vcore, more vcore is not the solution and it's still about tweaking the GTLs? Or perhaps a better BIOS (I'm using 2101)? :shrug:
I tried flashing to 1401 but EZ flash was having none of it since the current bios is more up-to-date. :shakes:
Have you tried raising the Performance level? Using 15 which is the slowest possible can help a lot.Quote:

If I have 1.4 or lower vcore in BIOS, Prime95 automatically quits and I get a windows error message...
If I have 1.45 vcore in BIOS, Prime95 keeps running on three cores because one core fails almost immediately. This to me looks like a definite vcore issue, not GTL refs or FSB stability. At 3.6GHz it's more about the FSB because even at 3GHz I get errors. OCing quads is really hard and frustrating work lol. :yepp:
Well I finally got some overclocking underway after I found the cause of my instability - a dead stick of cherished D9GKX :(
Even though the memory was causing the crashes, unfortunately it wasn't the only cause of instability - my E0 just isn't a good chip, not at all:
3.6GHz needs 1.3v
3.7GHz needs 1.33v - not bad
3.8GHz needs 1.375v :eek:
4GHz is out of the question :mad:
I'm not overly keen on pumping even 1.375v into my CPU when for a teensy 100mhz decrease in frequency I can go all the way down to 1.33v.
Anybody have a nice Q9550 they want to sell? :D
Mee To For Vcore :D
My E0 Satble In 500FSB With 1.42 I'm Not Have Good Chip
Maybe Soon Change To Core i7
I'm not going near i7 yet, it's just too expensive and I'd notice next to no difference in games. :)
If I end up going water cooling I'll sell my q9550. Have a few SS's in this thread I think. 4.0ghz 1.256v bios 4.25ghz 1.35v bios on the Gigabyte UD3P board. Stock vid is 1.2125vQuote:

Maybe things are looking up for me - I was browsing ebay and I came across a preowned Q9650 for £125 buy it now, which is crazy cheap (about $187) :eek: It does admittedly sound too good to be true, but I shall wait and see (if it ever arrives in the post). Fingers crossed. :D
Finaly I Boot UP 510 FSB With High Vcore About 1.6V with Water Cooling :D I Know I'm Crazy :D
But Temp It's Ok IDLE 38C In Bios
But Not Go To OS
NB V: 1.5

CPU Clock Skew1 500Mv
Any Idea For Me?
Guys, is there any stat on these cpu batch number? Would be nice to see one?
Here's an interesting comparison - E8500 @ 4.6GHz vs Q9550 @ 3.8GHz 3DMark06
Could go higher with the Q9550 but I'm selling it to a mate so 1.36v is plenty for benching
GTX 260 (216) is at 700/1500/2300 in both tests...

Yeap Quad Is Good For 3D 06 And Not Good For 3D 01 :D
I Can't Change GTL's AnyMore Leave Auto When Chang It Not Boot windows
I'm Stable 510 FSB All Test With 1.7 Vcore :D It's Too High
GET A GIGABYTE UD3P and clock the hell out of that Q9550
Ya I Know But For Now I Can't Change Mobo Beacause I Wouldn't Cost For PC:DQuote:

**MODS** If this is in the wrong place please move, figured it would be ok to post in this thread. **MODS**
My 1st post here and I'm in awe of the amount of information that's available. I'm kinda lagging behind in the technology but feel it's still worth trying to get all I can before a major upgrade. Thank you for any help I receive and apologies for the long post. :eek:
I've been searching and searching but haven't been able to find any information specific to the Q9550 and the IN9 32X-Max. I'm currently stable at 2.94GHz and I'm wondering if my bios settings are what they should be.
I'm a long time computer builder and recently started overclocking my stuff with the sole purpose of obtaining a bit more performance with stability as the main focus. I don't plan to squeeze as much as I can as I'm on air cooling with a Zalman CNPS9500AT but I feel 3.5GHz? should be attainable with what I have via some xtreme xpert advice. :D
I fully understand that I will have to increase several voltages in order to stay stable at higher clock speeds but, am I on the right track? Are the OCguru settings correct?
When I increase the bus speed my mem frequency drops, is this normal?
Here are some screens:

Linked or Unlinked? Can I get up to 3.5GHz by upping the bus and voltages with this configuration? Are lower multipliers + higher bus speeds preferred?

What is a good voltage configuration to start at for 3.2GHz?
http://virtual-aviation.org/main/ima...es@2.94GHz.jpg
Should I try changing the timings to 5-5-5-15 and bump up the clock? Leave alone? I need faster memory to do what I'm asking?

Thank you for reading and for any help received,

YZjon, I think your question deserves its own thread, you will probably get more answers as well, but since you post it here I will try to help you out :).
If I am not mistaken, your motherboard has a Nvidia 680 chipset, I really have no clue how far you can go with a quad and that chipset (check out the Asus Striker thread here).
Give it a try in 400 fsb with your cpu multi at 6x and your memory in 1:1 ratio (your RAM/CPU should do this just fine) and test stability mainly focus in your motherboard (prime blend test), if its stable then set your cpu multi to 8.5 and try some prime small ffts.
That would be 3400 mhz, for a start I think is pretty good. :D
Good luck and keep us posted
**** If anyone wishes to offer help please see this thread and post there ****
Thank you for the reply and suggestions. I tried what you said and couldn't get it to post. No matter what I try, "Linked" will not allow system to post. Right now it's stable at 2.94GHz unlinked but going higher is posing similar results with a no post. I've tried small increments with .5v increases across the board. Still won't post.Quote:

Good luck

I know of one guy who has an eVGA 790i board and his Q9650 is sitting at 4.1GHz, 1.26v. Nvidia boards are not all bad, but they ain't the best, that's no secret. :p:Quote:

Dont know about the gigabyte board, but im currently running an EO q9550 in a p5q deluxe, 1.200 vid cpu. I have it at 3.8ghz (8.5x450) on 1.21875 vcore in bios, windows idle 1.200, prime load 1.216, gonna try for 8.5x470 ono over the weekend. The p5q dlx is a good board but it seems to have a steep learning curve.
do you by chance know the batch # of yours?
Got my new E0 Q9550 VID 1.1625 up and running at 4.0 stable with 1.29 volts and my temps with LinX peak in the upper 70's and my A/C is set to 70 degrees (dont know what that is in celcius?). That seems awful high to me? I am using a vendetta 2 with OCZ freeze TIM. Is that to high for my setup?
generally, the lower the VID, the hotter it will run
Try some Prime and see what temps are. As WhiteFireDragon said, low VID CPU's run warmer, but have good chance of clocking higher on less vcore with good cooling. Maybe best stick to Prime and Hyper PI if you go any higher.
Thanks guys! I think I will also remove the HSF and clean everything up and reinstall it. I may have used a bit to much TIM now that I think about it.
Anyone bought one of these lately from Newegg? Just wondering if it was an E0 or not, also what batches are clocking the best... :shrug:
so when i goto pick mine up tuesday i should look for one with a low vid?Quote:

I can speak for 2 cpus with the same batch number ( L838B469 ) that are clocking really good. (4.00ghz with 1.21v and 4.25ghz with 1.31v). The SS are earlier in this same thread.Quote:

with it being a EO i should be able to get that pretty easily no matter what vid i get right?
with those clocks you're aiming for, i'm pretty sure almost any quad can hit those speeds. with the 45nm quads, stepping won't really matter much
so i could aim for a higher OC with little effort? i have heard the EO stepping would hit 4.0ghz with very little vcore increase. and some have said they can do it in auto settings? i doubt i can do that with my gigabyte board.
Hi guys, I've got a Q9550 E0 (VID 1.25V) and I'm trying to get 3.4 GHz with a less voltage than 1.25V, my mainboard is a P5Q-E with 2 sticks of GSkill PK PC8500 5-5-5-15. Do you think it's possible ?
My CPU is now at 3.306 GHz with 1.23V (1.20V in Windows and 1.17-18 while running OCCT, w/o LLC).
Are you talking 1.25v real or set in bios without LLC? If its real (cpuz reading) I think that is more than possible. :up:Quote:

Agree with that mate, i can speak for Q9650 there are some series (complete batch) that are the same vid...in my case i searched for complete batch number L828A446 googled it for 1 month and all (8 at that time) where vid 1,15 to 1,1875) so i went for it and i get 1,1875...Quote:

Other thing that is very enjoyable on this lower vid is that you can do magic at lower volts, mine does 4005 with just 1,16 vcore for ex and till 4300 is very cool...an OC for summer for ex, now that im on winter im on 4403 (518x8,5) at 1,376 runing cool also or 4500 with 1,396, and can play at 4635 at 1,42 over that heat starts...
Cheers :up:
