Could you post your bios settings?
Also, is that in a closed case at room temperature or are you benching outside in the cold? lol

I need a new heat sink / water kit you guys suck hittin walls at 500*8 thats nutz im stuck @ 3.9GHz its gotta be this zalman 9700 holdin me back Tuniq looks like the way
to go.. Or should I just hold off another couple weeks and go water ? Man choices choices choicews? BUY BUY BUY!! <---( I keep puttin that in my posts to save sony and the economy :)
dont get a tuniq..... they are old and lots of other coolers outperform it. get a Scythe Mugen2 or a Xigmatek 1284....
heres where im at now,still trying to work my way up there.http://i41.tinypic.com/20sg80o.jpg
radaja your chip clocks almost like mine...what vid and batch is it ?
my better OC's are:
4004(445x9) on 1,3315 vcore set on bios 1,328 IDLE
4050(450x9) on 1,35 vcore set on bios 1,33 IDLE
4104(455x9) on 1,3625 vcore set on bios 1,358 IDLE
4140(460x9) on 1,3725 vcore set on bios 1,368 IDLE
4185(465x9) on 1,3935 vcore set on bios 1,38 IDLE
All IBT 10 runs max stress on vista 64 sp1, the last one is my limit...
Cheers

andressergio,my batch is L826A965 and vid 1.25
Anybody have Q9650 Batch L824B301?
Any good?
quick question about prime 95 and a quad core. is it normal when it finishes a test to go core 2,core 3,core 1,core 4.then after an hour or so its core2,core3,core4,core1.also why does it seem to be so far behind the actual time.for instance by the time the seventh test the actual time has been a little over 14 minutes?i did notice that when running 5:6 it seem to keep up with the time but 1:1 runs twice as slow.am i just being too picky here or is this a sign of clocks and volts not running in harmony?
Well guys the misteriuos things of hardware...For some reason I'm more stable on 8,5 multi at more FSB with less vcore than on 9 multi with less FSB and more vcore...
4123(485x8,5) MEMS 2x2GB 1213 PL8 MODERATE

Mine came today.... rest of hardware in sig..... 4.5Ghz is next :yepp:
Edit: I got stuck temps at 32/32/37/37
Nice clocks here guys.. I was able to Load and do some benchies at 4.275 Ghz.. with 1.34v in CPU-Z and 1.378 in BIOS. So I'm doing ok, still trying to decide what should be my 24/7 I've been running 4.0 for a while now, but I can do better with same temps.
I'm going water-cooling next week. so after I get that all setup, I think I might go for 4.3 Ghz 24/7 but that needs over 1.38v to be stable.. I'm ok to run this thing at 24/7 under water at 1.39v BIOS, and 1.45 VTT right?
Also Zucker, how are you liking that CM HAF, I'm seriously considering getting that case, it's sweet, and the big brother to my CM 690. Not to mention that it's Great for water, can fit dual 320 rad's in there. I have a PA 120.2 coming Monday. so maybe I'll get the HAF for all my new toys. :)
Thanks for the advice, I check ed out quite a few Blocks and the Xigmatek 1284 came out shinning in a few different reviews and for the price There was no beating it.. So hopefully here by Friday... And we'll try from there.. Odd thing my temps with this Zalman 9700 are reporting pretty low 30-30-31-32 iDLE depending on my vcore the highest was like 60-61-59-59 @ 1.25v...440 fsb
The other thing making me twitch is my CPU PLL its hovering at 1.63 and I havent been able to get it lower? even when I set it to 1.5 in my bios its up to 1.63 when I check the hardware monitor in the Bios??? Odd and i was reading somewhere that that high a PLL is a cpu killer??? how can I get it lower? :banana::banana::banana::banana: even setting to auto in bios its still the same any ideas??:shakes:
I had seen somewhere on another forum that you should run the cpu gtl at .67 for quad cores but I can see that some of you are not running this setting. What would be the best cpu gtl run with this cpu on an X48 mobo?
I was using .63 on ASUS P5E3 X48 before and now +70mV
On another note what are peoples thoughts about 'running in' a new processor???
What do you guys do with new chips? Do people increase volts to the chip incrementally or go straight for 4Ghz+? Personally I don't think it makes much difference but my brother just got his one...and errr :)
Finally rock stable:

Check out the vcore :D
Normally I have to raise the cpu gtls as I raise vvt. I start at .635 then usually have to raise it .005 for each .02 increase in vtt.
Great work there Celcius, all that work finally paid off! As you mention your VCORE is especially impressive to say the least! With that said could/would you post your other voltages (just the main ones, VTT, PLL, NB, SB, and GTL's)? Thanks man and great work!
radaja - I've also got the same exact chip (well same stepping anyway) with the same VID however I've yet to push mine past 3.6Ghz. However I've got all day off tomorrow and I'm hoping to start pushing this thing a bit, can't wait!
Zucker2K - I see you mention your temps are stuck, just to be clear your temps don't change at all despite load (I ask because one of my cores is stuck). My CORE3 temps don't go below 38C no matter what, however as the loads rise the temp will go above 38C, just never below. Even though its not a bit deal it annoyes me big time (it must really stink to have all 4 cores stuck)!
roger D25,awesome! i wish i had the day off.ive been working way too much overtime this week, so i havent been able to do any more OCing on my new 9650.its been real hard..cant wait till the weekend.keep us posted on your OC's.
Its tough to read this thread each night about how well everyones Q9650's are clocking but not being able to work on your own system (although I'm very greatful to have a job at all)! I will definately try to post my results ASAP as long as I'm able to get some decent results that is, lol! Keep pushing it guys!
The UD3P takes a little time to get the hand but then you will see the amazing results. Some boards are very different then others that's why some templates will be hit and miss. My Rev 1.1 template won't work on my Rev 1.0 board.
You'll get there Roger, this is by far one of the best cpu's I had! Loads of fun breaking records, air priming etc. But job comes first these days :up:
yes im also very happy to be working so i can buy all this fun computer stuff, im just happy that i got this cpu,only problem is ive had it for 1 week now but only got to mess around with for two days.but like i said weekend is upon us,let the good times roll.
