I can confirm that my DMM gave no fluctuations whilst I loaded the CPU and GPU, and reported a constant 12.15v for me, even during reboot, same goes for the 5v rail.
I bought it more for the reassurance as my old PSU had definitely had a good innings and was having problems which turned out to be the mobo (which is now RMAed and going good).
Sorry for ranting in off topic there!
Like you, I'll have my hands on a Q9650 by the end of this week, seems like stock might be starting to thin out a bit over here.
Thank you mate 12,11 volts loaded with the Q9650 4500/1200 and the GTX285 at 800/1764/3096Quote:

Seems like Corsair HX850 put some power on the system look at the shaders !! could do this before on my TT850 :D

Very nice clocks there. Perhaps you can lower your vcore a little now also since it made such a difference to the shaders. Whats up with Sanctuary hardware section stating your Q9650 has HTT?
All these screenies are driving me nuts... I'm now being told that 9650's are discontinued, and stockists can't get their hand on any more! I'm gonna be majorly gutted if I miss out on one, and rather fruious, as I've now been to 2 sites who supposedly have them 'in stock', only to discover they dont, and can't get any more.
Can anyone confirm this? (In the UK at least)
thanks Cryptik i dont know it alwas says so...Quote:

Grab a batch like Oc nub or Nkresho mate the last good ones or ask around maybe someone wants to sell to go for I7, did you search ebay ?Quote:

sergio.. maybe time for 1kwatt/1.2kwatt @ v12.4 full load psu ?? :D

It'll be a little while before I get it up and running though as I've got a new rad, sensors and fans to fit, and I plan to flush the system too due to coolant problems. I might bung the 9650 in there for a quick run though, and just check that the ram is OK :)
Sounds good In-Fluence, should come together nicely.
Haha, I reckon it was all a ploy - they've sent me so many contradicting messages it's unreal. The order hasn't budged from their warehouse and it'll be 2 weeks tomorrow that I've been waiting.... I'm getting really peeved considering they supposedly had it all in stock the day they took payment from me..grrrr!
well at least im not in the only country they do that, sorry to hear mate here they do the same if you dont be carefullQuote:

to go.cant afford to keep em both.so while
im waiting im going to fire up the i7920/UD5
again and see if it will grow on me(impress me)
enough to tempt me to keep it.right now with
UD3P and E8400 its fun but after playing with
quad cores and quad cores with 8 threads,duals
just seem weak in comparison.i mean even looking
at a cpuz screen and only seeing two temps its
starnge.it might all be in my head too:rofl:
congrats radaja you will do 4500 on 1,392 mine is same vid :up:Quote:

Congrats on finding a good chip, should perform well hopefully. You should be able to get 4.4 - 4.5 GHz stable on your i7 with your cpu too though. It's a hard call.Quote:

Regardless of whether or not it's better than before, those temps are great.Quote:

The temps with it are not bad, I was just hoping to see an improvement since its reportedly better, along with Gabe saying the GTZ is somewhat handicapped on a lapped cpu, which mine is. Its being used without a backplate right now but I dont think thats really hurting me. :shrug:Quote:

Maybe it's that once you have basically the best setup for the day, there's nowhere to go from there. I've never been as 'up to date' as I am now. With the X48/9650 I feel like it's older, cheaper gear 'competing' with the current best (i7/X58), and my inner overclocker likes that feeling.
Maybe this is how guys with brand new BMW's feel, watching the guys in Camry's driving past laughing at them and pointing.
I don't really know anything about water cooling. I've seen many other guys on water with higher temps than you though.Quote:

hoss i honestly think that changing the block will only improve 1, 2 C, some reported lots more but i dont believe it, seems the same as lapping im runing shared loop with my GTX285 OC and some ppl runs single loop just for CPU on a quad on better rads and i didnt see much improvement...only thing i did see is chilled water...Quote:

Yep i7's clock easier on 21x multi. Anyway you can keep the Q9650 rig for a bench toy, and use i7 for daily PC duties? You're unlikely to find another 920 like yours, but the 9650's are just so much fun.

yes i understand mateQuote:

one thing i noticed is that the hughe block of my GTX285 a danger den BFG its not restrictive at all, use to have more temps when i runt the MCW60R and of course the 8800 ultra where heating 10C more
would be nice to chill water a bit and avoid condensation, just a bit would be awesome

Had another cool night so I decided to do some more tweaking on my 4500/1250 blend clock, room ambient was 21C.

I just grabbed a QX9650 for cheap and I'm wondering besides the unlock/locked multi is there any difference between the QX9650 and Q9650? And what VTT you guys would recommend for this chip since I heard it's not safe to run 24/7 with more than 1.4V VTT?
Most qx9650s are older stepping where the Q9650 are G0.Quote:

Since when the Q9550 is better than the QX9650? I still need to swap the CPU cooler tomorrow and see how far I can go with this chip this weekend. First run @4.0Ghz @1.25V ain't bad don't you think?Quote:

not bad but not great. i'm running 4.2ghz @ 1.288 and I don't have as good as a chip as a lot of others in this thread. i'm sure you'll hit 4.2-4.4, just with a lot of extra voltage.Quote:

Just curious what's the max you guys can do with the Q9650? Regardless I still consider it's a good investment since I upgraded from a E8400 and paid only $100 for it after I sold my E8400.Quote:

For both. :D By the way I think I have trouble with temp for the QX9650, I'm using a TRUE with a CM R4 for push and Ultra Kaze 2kRPM for pull and my idle temp is around 42 for all cores. Considering I'm using a CM Centurion 5 so I might not have good air flow but I expect a lower temp than that, especially I switch from the Zalman CNPS9700 and the TRUE only gives me 1-2C better. :confused:Quote:

It's a C0, ambient temp is around 25C.Quote:

I reseat the heatsink and still same result, I guess it's just the way it is.
1.3v+ sounds about right for a C0 @ 4GHz. There are examples that need even more than that. Linx will create higher load temps than any other program will in my experience.
I've been "anti F10 beta" bioses for UD3P, coz they make 2.40B mem mutli go nuts.. wth I thought last night, I really want more CPU MHz, not mem mhz...so, flashed to F10f, to test cpu oc with mem, fsb x 2
4230MHz / 1128MHz mem was with F9 BIOS, this is abs max with 1.381vcore BIOS, 1.344v cpuz
currently testing (2 hr L4D online play) 4302MHz/956Mhz, 1.393v BIOS, 1.36v cpuz
Ive lapped the TRUE Black.....they probably made it concave in factory?...
I've also lapped the Q9650, this didnt do more than 1C maybe...HSF did most...still dont regret lapping both.
Well turns out it needs more than 1.4V to be stable @4.0Ghz, it appears to be normal as I compare to others. Definitely not a good chip but as long as I can hit 4.0Ghz stable then I'll be happy. Btw you guys have any suggestion for doing higher multi lower FSB or the other way around would be better?Quote:

What fsb u use try like 9x450. with a lower multi and higher FSB your ram Can reach higher speed at a 1:1 Divider so your ram could be at 1GHz 1:1 Divider its a lot faster on the same timings then like 800MHz. Second if the FSB is higher your northbridge can handle more data. Try highering the PLL till 1.6 your safe i guess whats your northbridge voltage make it like 1.35 thats what i need for 500FSB stable. third your VTT Whats your VTT Voltage you can try highering that to i never gone above 1.35 thats my safe limit for 24/7.Quote:

temps at Linx not more,than 80C,at Prime95 not more,than 65C.
Rampage Extreme is great mobo!
rurik - Good work. On my Rampage Extreme I could get Linx max mem stable at 467 - 480 FSB rather easily too, however Prime Large FFT's was very hard by comparison.
Can you post a Large FFT screen (at least 2 hours)? I'd be interested to see if you can get it stable at those settings.
damn,I again in wrong thread:DQuote:

My idle temps on CPU cores are as follows:
http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/983...0idletemps.jpg
I can run Prime95 25.11 stably with the above BIOS settings with the following temps:
http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/6389/q9650load.jpg
The problem is that I cannot lower my CPU vcore below 1.41875V, because my rig becomes unstable in P95, and with this CPU vcore, my CPU core temps are too much higher.
I know it's a dilemma!!!
So I need your suggestions to help me to fine my BIOS settings.
I'd like to keep my OC @ 4.05GHz with lower temps on cores and also lowering my CPU vcore!!!
Cheers!!!
anyone helps, plz???
:shrug::shrug::shrug::shrug:
That is a lot of vcore for 4GHz, no wonder your temps are so high. Perhaps raise CPU Clock Driving Control to 800 - 900mV, it may help. Wait for someone who owns a UD3P to help you though, as I can only make general suggestions. I'd also suggest going back to say 3.6GHz, finding the minimums required for all voltages, and working your way up from there.
Cryptik he got a DQ6 with no LLC not an UD3P maybe the one that can help him is OC nub that has one but P45.Quote:

What other progs could I use to test my OC's???
Or what methods in P95 can I use to test???
Wow, these CPU's seem to overclock almost as good as an E8600 but with 2 extra cores! Shame they won't do any ground shattering FSB in a X48 chipset based board.
Very nice overclocks guys! :up:
On the P45 DQ6 I needed to set the advanced clock control to 1000/1000/0/0 to get stable above 4ghz on good vcore. Different chipset so may not work for the x38.
Have been taking a break from overclocking and PC stuff for a couple weeks. Will get back into it soon I hope, a lot going on at home.
anyone clocked this q9650 cpu on a p35t-dq6 motherboard with 8gb ram (all 4 sticks populated), wondering if p35 chipset is going to be limited to 400mhz fsb.
Back to priming again. Sorry for the absence guys. I was getting comfortable at 4500mhz. Now I need more speed.
I'm at 506x9 (4555mhz) but temps are getting a little high. I'm peaking at 67c on prime blend. Cpu v in bios is 1.4 too (1.36v cpuz).
I'm running a cpu only mcr320/hk3.0 loop too, with high speed panaflo fans on it @ 12v. Maybe time for a rad upgrade???
I'll post screens when I get it stabilized.
sorry to post my q9550 result here but seems this thread is more active :)
is my voltages ok for this speed or I can lower some and this settings will be safe for 24/7?
Q9550 @ 495x8.5

Very nice clock, 67*C under Prime large FFT load is getting up there but it's not too bad considering the VID of your chip and the vcore you're running. It's not like temps get up that high though under normal usage though right?Quote:

Nice run Hoss. I have to catch up now. What are your temps doing at that speed? I see you're running almost exactly the same stuff I am.
Here's last night's prime blend. I opened the window in the room the system is in. Pittsburgh winter is on it's way.

great clocks guys
Hey thanks radaja!
I watched your posts very closely in the process of oc'ing my 8400. You helped me get to 4400mhz with it.
I'm finally replacing it with a q9550 when it comes in this week.
I just have to get control of my temps onthis q9650.
I might need a better rad or something.
I thought the hk3.0 would bring temps down more.
I'm getting over 65c in prime blend over 4500 mhz...
Maybe xspc 360 or the new fan spacing thermochill...
nice to have you back nkresho :up: 10C damn thats a nice temp for OC
hoss31 congrats thats a hella good OC :up:
phsinc1 good chip there ;)
lets keep the thread alive :O)
Cheers all :up:
Sergio
nkresho the HK3.0 didnt work as you expected ? i was going to swap my dtek fuzion for it :shrug: tough it was betterQuote:

It will let you clock a few mhz higher, which is why I got it. I might need to drop another few degrees (radiator upgrade) though.
Around the time of my cpu block upgrade (from fuzion v2) I also added a separate, second, loop for my northbridge/gpu, so my cpu had it's own dedicated loop on the mcr320.
Still, it isn't enough to keep these temps down while over 4500mhz. I'm spiking a bit over 65c at comfortable ambients (~22c).
And it's a little loud for my tastes at that speed/temp too with the panaflo fans up all the way.
Hey all you guys with the insane Q9650 overclocks might want to check this out. :p:
Don't do it Gautam I only have a 9550 !!!! there's no way I can beat these guys at or around 5Ghz
There will definitely be some killer runs posted on the Q9550 and Q9650s....Quote:

Maybe it'll help over my watercooling... :confused:
Thanks guys. Temps for that run maxed at about 53c close to the 4 hour mark when the ambient temp started to warm up, average outside ambient was about 15-16c. Since im starting to see some cooler weather I have both my rads mounted side by side in my window with it closed down on top of them. For clock controls I use 800, 900, 0, 50 for up to 4.55 and 900, 900, 50, 50 for the 4.6, both my 3380 and 9650 have needed the 50 cpu skew to prime at 4.6. I also ran a quick prime at 506 to other day to help keep track of vcore scaling. Past 4.55 its definitely starting to not scale as well, either that or I just need to work on some other voltages, ill just keep playing with it. :)

We aren't insane just mis-represented :p:Quote:

temps are geting a little high for me too. I have to keep the window open to keep the cores under 65. It's freezing in here.
Thats what was happening to me, id keep getting random lock ups and it was wanting abnormal references to run the times it didnt. Bump the cpu skew up to 50 and give it a shot, thats what solved my problem.
Finally got my hands on my Q9650 today after 2 months of abysmal sevice and communication from overclockers. Ended up going to scan, got it all in 3 days. Along with this I got:
An akasa apache - will get the chance to see how it fairs against the noctua NF-P12
Inline water temp sensor
2x2Gb 8500 Corsair Dominator GT (not looking so promising)
A tube of MX-2 and MX-3
Another 120MM radiator
Anyway, currently testing at 490x6 (just FSB testing for now). Could post at 500-510 but I'm not anywhere near 'tweaked' enough yet, but I have a nice feeling about it.
After nudging the NB GTL to +30 it has given me 1024, 8 & 10k stability in p95 but has just failed 768k. Prime fails often on the first 2 cores, so they may be the weakest. Vid is 1.2 which I believe isn't bad? Temps are just skimming 60°C at 1.35v (with 1.35vtt), but once again, no voltages tweaked. Once the weekend comes, I'll be flushing the loop and doing a rebuild with the extra Rad which should help NB & CPU temp a little more :)
Just having a happy rant for a change :D
Got my q9550 today to replace my e8400. VID is 1.3000:eek:. Batch in my sig. Kinda sucks.:down: I might sell it on ebay and drive 2 hours to the nearest microcenter to get another, newer one tomorrow.:shrug:
I am actually pondering getting another q9650 instead.:yepp: LOL because this is my secondary rig. My "good" 9650 has me spoiled.
I can't seem to get this 9550 to 4000mhz with any less voltage than my 9650 made it to 4500.:shrug:
Any input guys? Temp me...:wierd:
And my temp sensors are off... by a lot... 46c 43c 38c 41c all prime loaded 99%, and the third mount???
Wow 1.3 is realy high vid i tought mine was high with my first Q9550 it was 1.275 it was the same batch well nearly... L846B770. i traded with my brother since he's not a real Overclocker, my vid now is 1.1375 4GHz stable @ 1.2v :) but i want to get more out of it.
I'll sell you my Q9550 L847C219, ran 4.25 24/7 with 1.32v, 4.1 with 1.297v on the UD3P with 8GB installed. But I'd be asking eBay value, not MC value :p: Could run higher I'm sure, my RAM was holding me back.Quote:
