:rofl:
You can't test it by yourself?
Take a look on "Xtreme benchmark" there is Vantage theard, Its possible to find one stock Q9650

Tonight, or tomorrow I'll try oc'n a little more. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
This processor rocks (thanks Napalm):
Hooked up yesterday, installed Windows 10 min ago and without any adjustments whatsoever:

Quad 5000Mhz++ Club :D:D:D:D
snap!! :clap: congratz!!
welcome.. good to have you by my side Jor3lBR :toast:
lifes just better @ 5ghz.. huh :D
I have been busy getting my 2 4870 X2 cards setup and working that I haven't had the time to go and finish oc'ing my cpu. It is nice to see some great oc's here. I currently have my cpu voltage set to 1.3 in the bios for a reading of 1.28 with vdroop control enabled. I was hoping to settle around 4.3-4.5GHz but I don't know if I will make it. I am going to try taking my voltage up to a max of 1.34 and see how that does. I will post the results.

Fantastic chip! Unbelievable quad FSB !
whoa 566x9 beautifo 5094mhz WR go go Jor3lBR !
set fsb:ram 1:1 and take it even higher !
Incredible overclock. A full list of voltages would be great! I'm very, very impressed.
Damn... thats crazy. Nice work man.
you said thanks Napalm. did you get that Q9650 from him? was it one of Napalms?
Nice work Sir. I want a new Motherboard now. but I have no clue what to get... Anyways I've been busy with x-mas, and I got an alarm added to my Truck. (Since it was broken into and ALL of my stuff stolen) not sure if I mentioned that or not. they got cd player, sub, amp, 80GB ipod, Bluetooth headset, my coffee mug. all the goods. BASTARDS!
Anyways I installed a nice 1 mile distance 2 way alarm in my truck and put push pins on all 4 doors, and the hood so if any are open it will sound. and a few other cool things.
I'm not in process of getting a new system and stereo installed. So as soon as I'm done by the end of this week or so I'm planning. I'll make sure I take this Quad as high as I can. I'm almost done with stereo, When I am I'll OC all i can.
Nice work there Jor
Someone has mentioned this in a post before and I guess my eyes are blurring from reading because I can't seem to find the post now. What is the max 24/7 voltage that would be recommened on the vcore for the Q9650? I am wanting to get the best oc that I can get that is capable of running 24/7. Right now I am at 4050MHz with the voltage in the bios at 1.3 and the reading at 1.28.
if you want a ballpark for an average 24/7 max Vcore, I would say its about 1.45v, but it can go much higher or a bit lower depending on the cooling you have. :2cents:
Yep a ballpark figure is what I am looking for. I know it isn't exact but some guidelines are good to have.
WOW, those are some great numbers, i should have my rig back up this weekend and i am shooting for that club....
Freq : 4815.23 MHz (535.03 * 9) on air soo....
Outside air and antifreeze should make the diff........... :surf:
i have finally got around to turning up the volts on one of my psu's, its an ocz 600sxs, the 12 volts were at 11.89 i opened it up and found a screw to turn (or whatever its called) got the volts upto 12.55 now, just a note to everybody make sure the power core is out and the pc it turned off before putting the cover back on the psu, thats the 4th time i've been electricuted in my life, im too shakey to do anymore tonight..herhehe miught try overclocking 2morrow, i really want to bring the volts up on my corsair hx1000, i'll have to see if it can be done easy, i know that the thermaltake 750 dosnt have a screw.

thats not my q9650.. i think jors the same batch/vid.. actually a bunch of us have the same batch/vid.. leet q9650 brotherhood lol
- like i have said before.. my q9650 aint no golden q9650
- higher v12 can only do so much.. if the chipset/mobo is stubborn no v12 will save it
- please handle psus with care/common sense.. its best not to open up and mess around if not familiar with dangers glued to psus
- x48 has no savior just like its older bro x38: worst chipsets ever made by intel.. then again intel do a many things intentionally..
even p35 walks all over x38/x48
- p45+q9650 is the right path.. and frankly the best p45 are the ep45s :toast:
All of what you said above is very true napalm, but I want to know if you have done any "stability" clocking of your q9650. my experience with many manufacturers (gigabyte and asus in particular) is that they claim the frequency crown but their stability is truly terrible. DFI has never failed me in this area though...
Napalm primed @ 4.5Ghz earlier in this thread somewhere.
Awesome 5Ghz Q9650 :clap:
well it's not the A.. it's the 1.2125 that makes it great.. i sure WISH my Q9650 was somwhere in that part.. Meh, oh well. I can't complain.
