I read it at jonnyguru review. I think he around here but I doubt he still remember how much the poti gonna effect the rails.
SilverStone Decathlon DA850 850W (Click)
Attachment 86228
i have the op850 and have adjusted v12 pot @ max.. the psu is not able to boot such high clocks :)
I think it has been shown that as long as the 12v line is within spec (11.50v to 12.40?), adjusting the pots makes no difference because no matter how high you adjust it, the voltage regulators still have to adjust the input power; therefore the higher the incoming voltage, the bigger the strain on the VRs. I think that vtt at 1.9 makes a lot of a difference; I don't think I have the balls to do it. As far as adjusting rails, the 3.3v line would is more important especially when clocking vdimm up to 2.8, because if all the rails are loaded, that 3.3v could drop real quickly, so ample overhead is a good thing.
*sigh* over and over.. im trying/willing to help/show you guys what it takes to achieve such high clocks.. and yet some here argue against it.. fine, you guys know better? show everyone here what you got!
leave you guys with the recipe:
1. beefy/chunky minimum 1000watt psu - still may have to be adjusted ~v12.5 if psu features 3 pots youll have greater control
2. beefy/chunky p35/p45 mobo - hearty chokes/caps/phases/bios options
3. ram that eats volts for breakfast @ default/higher clocks
4. your guts/balls/whatever you got :)
whom you listen to what you do and how you do it is all up to you but
even if you dont achieve your oc goals.. do enjoy what you can achieve with what youve got :)
wish you all great clocks and happy ocing
Here is what I got so far. I am 9x450 for 4005MHz. Here are the settings:

post cpuz and gpuz in the shot along with the bench and the appropriate link.
Then I will really give you some credit.....You will deserve it!!

Yes I am going to play with the LLC this weekend when I have more time to devote to oc'ing this bad boy. I am using a TRUE cooler. I am looking for the highest stable oc that I can run 24/7. Mine is an E0 stepping and SLB8W/L822B509 with a vid of 1.215. Are there any settings other than the LLC that you think need to change?

I'm stuck at 4365mhz 485FSB. I'm pretty sure its a FSB issue not max CPU OC.
I dropped multi to 8 and left all settings the same and still couldnt get stable at 490.
Windows will freeze a few minutes after booting. I've tried upping vcore, NB, SB, FSBT, and PLL.
Also i tried transaction booster on auto. My NB and SB never go over 55c.
Here are my bios settings and at the end a ss of 8hrs stable at my highest OC.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Just ran 4 pass memtest all tests at 500x8 no errors. I tried upping pll to 1.7 and nb to 1.6 and taking out 4gb ram. When trying to boot into windows at 495 or 500x8 i almost make it to desktop but screen stays black right before the desktop. I'm gonna try an older bios now.
Edit: tried 0907 bios no difference. I'm in windows now at 490x8 3920mhz but as soon i reached desktop the sidebar errored out. so it should freeze any time.
I still can't get my Q9650 up to 450 FSB and stable, I'm using a Rampage Extreme and I'm pretty sad about this :(.

Now here are a lot of people who think they can clock there Q9650 to > 4600MHz easily, just by playing with perfect(high) voltages, low vcore, and with a psu with modded rails, that should have min. 1000W.
I can run 4500MHz 1.42V load all benches, a lot of hours long. If i want to go to 4600MHz i just need to up the vcore to 1.48V load. Any other voltages doesnt't really matter at this point. Every cpu stops working on a other point, thats a fact. :)
Do not see this as a attack, it is just based on experience. Imho i think you should realise that too?
Must be lost in translation as I do not understand what point you are trying to make. Are you saying that he/we shouldn't expect higher clocks? Or that it takes a lot to get to 4600 and beyond?Quote:

Utnorris
He always posts sentences like: "it's no problem to reach high fsb, with this and that settings" " you just need a modded psu with > 1000W" etc.
It just sounds like every cpu will go up to > 540MHz FSB, or > 4600MHz with the things i wrote above. But i don't think it will be like that. :)
Now people maybe will buy 5 new motherboards, 5 new psus, maybe new memory and imho at the end they will just realise that the cpu isn't better then before.
Just what i think. :)
PS.: But maybe you do not understand what i mean bcs. of my bad english? Sorry, i try to do my best. :)
I've been following this thread for awhile now, and from what i can see NapalmV5 is right on the money, he is making perfect sence in my head, we are raising the voltages on every bit of out boards/cpus except the 12, 5 and 3.3 volt supplys to it, from what i understand by doing this it is keeping volts not only stable but above what they need to be...just like what we have to do to overclock our cpu's...but there comes a point in overclocking where it is necessary to overclock/over volt other things besides vtt and nb..hence over the years how we have seen so many more options for voltage control, doing the psu thing is just the next step....i say well done NapalmV5, your thinking outside of the box, and thats why you have, and will do better...
Regards Andrew
Just keep in mind that generally Napalm is pretty modest in his posts, so he may still be in denial that he's got a golden chip...but yeah, like I posted before, you cannot adjust just one voltage...if you are, the others are too high in the first place!
First psu i modded with adjustable rails was in early '04, it is nothing really new. And there was a reason these days, the vdimm limtied by the +3.3V rail.
After that i bought the OCZ Powerstream wich had adjustable rails at the back of the psu.
Maybe someone else(more known, respected guy?)will explain how the difference is between the voltages you can set in bios especially to your different components and the voltages a psu give to the system.
I'm out now. Good luck with Q9650 oc to all of you! :up:
Ajusting RAILS to achieve better OC is as old as Lincoln but kudos for Napalm to use this with today's OC's as well. I did have a OCZ 520 with adjustable rails and to OC a good old DFi Nf2 'sista' it would require a lot of tweaking in 3.3v and 12v rail.
Nope, this I get and as I stated before, I wasn't attacking you, just didn't understand what you were trying to state, so I apologize if I offended you, that was not my intention.Quote:

Not to belabor the point.
Edit: Plus that 1.90v+ Vtt. I bet that's not for you folks who are here to find 24/7 stable clocks.

the vtt really does the trick with this chip. I took mine up to 1.4, not because I needed to but I just felt like it :)
well sniipe.. my q9650 not one iota better than yours :up:
most of the B q9650s on the right hardware/cooling should do ~4.5ghz :)
even the worst q9650 out there with some loving voltage/cooling budge should do ~4.5ghz :D
i dont care/despite what anyone says :p:
You just wait and see what happens when I get my proc lapped and the apogee GTZ + 2xMCR320's on there!
one problem is that my board has issues over 460 FSB. Once the p45 avenger comes out it will be on overnight shipping to me and then we will really see this proc burn some rubber :yepp:

I joined this site over a week ago after Finally getting my Q9650.. I've been coming here for awhile, but never joined. I finally did and I'm exited to start posting on a new, and great forum. I've been sent here by many many people as this is one of the best places for us Enthusiasts. Finally past the waiting period. :)
After seeing this thread it made me abandon my plan on getting the Q9550. I just went for the Q9650, no more waiting. I wanted a E0. I'm now very happy to say that 4.0 Ghz was very very easy to do with this thing. I've pushed for 4.2 Ghz on my eVGA 750i. and thats farthest so far. Will try farther later. I've been following all yours posts Napalm, looks like you sure know what your doing. I'm new to this (4 months Oc'n.) and I've heard of modding PSU's a few years back.. I'd love to get some info from you in helping me do that.
Here's my latest clock, and more will soon come.

Batch # L822B363
xguntherc
Good clock and you`re welcome, mate ;)
Thank you sir.
I'm glad I finally post here. Time to start gettin some help hopefully. I'm wondering about this PSU modding and what not.
Also I have a question for everyone. Who all has a Q9650 that has overclocked it with a VTT past 1.4v
I've heard this talk about don't exceed 1.37vcore, and now I'm hearing it for the FSB/VTT. is this true. I have mine like this for 4.0 Ghz.
1.3312v BIOS 1.296v CPU-Z
1.30v FSB/VTT
2.1 VDIMM
I'm wondering about this FSB/VTT Myth, looks like Napalm is pushing 1.9v+ or so on his FSB/VTT and his is still going strong. Whoever has had there Q9650 for a decent while with a High FSB/VTT please let me know. I'm wondering how long peoples are lasting so far, anyone had any problems yet?
in the BIOS, the 12v shows up as 11.92v is that pretty good. and how can I mod that.?? I wanna push this thing harder.
Thanks!
I think it may be possible that these E0 chips are more durable than other 45nm, but dont quote me on that ;)Quote:

that would be an interesting thing to try and see. I'm wondering how long some of ours will last if we gave them 1.5 FSB/VTT even though I'm not going to go much higher than 1.4v on VTT on mine. Don't wanna risk it yet.
Thats the batch I have red, 4050 mhz 1.3vcore is great :up:Quote:

My chip is the L822B363. and yes it's pretty good, but I sadly have a VID of 1.2500 When I first saw this I was worried, but when I easily got it to 4.0 ghz. it made me feel much better.
What batch is napalms. And personally I think almost all the Q9650's can do what Napalms can, maybe a little less but close, I think he knows what He's doing, plus giving it all types of VTT voltage. and 12v rail and what not. But it would be nice to know mine would be possibly that good. but right now I'm at 1.3312v in BIOS to get 4.0 Ghz stable.
and Real Red. IMO i think all the Q9650's are going to be good chips. I'd just get whatever was cheapest. but that L820B sounds pretty good. as it's made just 2 weeks before mine and I've easily hit 4.205 Ghz and still going. Sounds like a great chip. I think all of them are for now. So Just get one, and enjoy it.
Does anyone know how to mod my HX520 PSU, or how to get more from the 12v Rail.. it's currently pushing 11.92v that seems pretty efficient. right?
mine is L825B323 pack date 9-03-08 is a Screammer runs cool as heck ......39 to 40 under full load ............. damn Sweet @ 4GHz stable .... NewEgg Goodness !!!
Well thats because you have Water cooling.
Question. Would everyone post there Temps for there Q9650's Please.. I'd really, really like to see everyones Clocks, vcore, and temps. I have the Q9650 at 4.0 Ghz with a Tuniq Tower and my temps idle around 35-37c and load are 61/55/55/54 These are decent, but I've seen much better on air, or similar results with higher clocks. So I'm not sure. I'm going to re-seat my Tuniq Tower tomorrow and see if that helps. and add some AS5 this time.
p.s. Thats a great Avatar bigslappy, is that a sexy @$$ girl bending over to a Teddy Bear.... lol thats great.
Mine is L822B509 with pack date 08/29/08. Stepping A Rev. E0. Currently at 4.02GHZ 1.28v with load temps of 51/42/42/46 using a TRUE w/ Delta fan.
ElAguila.. whats the VID of the chip. yours was made the same time as Mine. probably same Wafer.. lol jk jk.
If you don't know how to check the VID you can see it on Core Temp, but make sure Speed Step, and C1E are disabled or the VID# will be wrong..
Also are you at 1.28v in the BIOS, or is that what's showing on CPU-Z, and I see you have great temps. Thats why I need a TRUE. as I'm getting 35-37c idle. and 55-60c loads at 4.0 Ghz.. and I've seen many people get better, but my Tuniq is very very badly warped, and needs to be lapped. I'm thinkin I'll still get better results with a TRUE, then lapping the Tuniq. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. what does everyone think? Tuniq Lapped. or get a True and sell the tuniq.?? I also have a TT BlueOrb II I got for free.. should I see if it yields better temps. lol jk
Also last question. how in the HELL did you get your PC2-8000's to do 1052 on 5-5-5-15? and what voltage are you giving the VDIMM. as I have the same chips and Only speed that will get those stock spec'd timings is anything under 930, anything else no matter the volts wont work.. What voltage you giving that thing?
The vid for mine is 1.25 according to core temp. However, when I boot up with the settings all at default the bios shows the vcore at 1.20. I have the vcore set at 1.29 in the bios with vdroop control enabled.
Hm... thats weird.. are you sure Speed step and C1E are disabled?
Thats pretty good. as mine's is not stable with anything under 1.33v at 4.0 GHz. and mines VID is 1.2500 also.. thats not cool. lol jk.
I'm going to try to add more FSB/VTT today and see if that helps me get stable easier.
I just got a new Q9650 with L823B165 batch, is it good? Do you have any feedback about it?
Well, Basically ALL the Q9650's are Great Chips. they are all clocking Crazy high clocks with low temps. You should for sure be able to get to 4.0 Ghz on air, with a decent Cooler.
you're CPU was made a week after mine.. the L, then the 8 is the year.. so 08, the 23 is the week it was made. so near the end of May, of 2008. and then B.. B's are better Than A's.
A is the outer edge of the Wafer, and B's are the inner half of the wafer.. People claim that B's are better, but we don't really know. I don't know.
There's plenty of feedback, not on your batch #. but on your CPU.. everyone is getting great results with them. and I'm sure you will also.
enjoy!

I'm really stubborn and I've bought another Q9650 hoping to get better results with it, I'm always confident when new batches come out :D.
I've made several several runs @ attempting 5ghz with a 790i ultra sli board with bios set 1.85volts and like 1.79 actual vcore with max fsb voltage out of desperation. Chip still does 4950mhz without degradation issues and clocks the same up thru the clocks with day 1 voltages. Could be pushing my luck but waiting an hour or so for temps while running a ghetto home brew chiller can push you to do strange things.
Yes the are both disabled. Are you using any kind of vdroop control? I am not familiar with your motherboard but mine has a setting in the bios for it.Quote:

I might be sending my chip in for RMA. The MB is randomly dropping two cores and blue screening now. I've been running on stock cooling until the WC parts arrive & am idleing at 36* having never pushed it yet past 3.8 for any length of time. I have a Rampage Extreme and called ASUS tech. They advised me to return the CPU. If that does not work then RMA the board.
The batch number is L822B363, Pack date 8/13/08 w/ 1.25V Max. Is this a chip I should keep or should I RMA the chip as ASUS suggests and take my chances on a new chip or get another board and see if that was the problem from the start. I have two days to make this decision to get an RMA with the Egg.
RMA the chip since that's the time pressured one.
Then you can start the process of elimination.
Unless you can find another board to borrow within two days to do the testing and find out the chip is ok.
PPL have been having BIG problems with that board & the quads it's the 16 phase power problems .. test the CPU now on another board & i'll bet it's fine
Just thrown my L822B363 in, Pack date 8/13/08, first boot with 1.25 in bios, 1.232v in CPU-Z. Vid 1.2375. Chip has potential, definately smokes the QX9650 i had.

Not too happy with my temps, i need to give my w/c a service.

cores 3 & 4 are like 9c higher than cores 1 & 2 when idle. 1&2 seem to catch up under load though.
That's probably the sensors if they catch up under load.
I have the same issue with my QX9650, but since they are the same or near the same under load I don't worry about it. At first I thought it might have been the IHS was warped, but I lapped it and I still have the same issue. Oh well, as long as it OC's high and it works I am not going to worry about it right now. I can pick up a Q9650 later on around Xmas if need be. Anyway, don't worry about it as long as there are no other issues. Otherwise RMA it.
Yep the Qxxxx cpu's have some quirky sensors.
From what I've seen, a lot of the 45nm chips (don't want to say all) have quirky sensors.
Update, 4.185Ghz with 1.264v

Unfortunately, this is my Asus maximus' limit on FSB, wont boot with 470 even when i drop the multi.
I know its these damn x38/x48 chipsets + quads. I cannot wait to get my p45 avenger :yepp:
MY 750i has hit 467 FSB for a clock of 42.05 Ghz on mine.. Stable.
Zlojack what do you mean, (Thats the Time Pressured one) and to RMA it. are you talking about the CPU.
I have that exact batch number. I thought all were different. Mine is L822B363 with VID of 1.2500 and I've hit 4.205 ghz with it and will try for more.
is that a bad batch zlojack?? Cuz I've not heard anything like that.
Mine had a stuck sensor & i let it idle for 12 hours & starting working JUST fine after the burn in ..... Now it screamms ..................
hi I have the evga 780i q9650 and flex 2 9200 running at default ATM but looking to overclock the cpu to 4 ghz can anyone help me with bios settings I also just got 2x gtx 260 which play crysis at 1080i on max setting min fps are 37 but got all these highend parts but running stock settings want my ram running at 1200mhz 5-5-5-14 which they can do with ease and CPU at 4 ghz + pls help thanks Davidoff
getting the CPU past 3.4 Ghz will make the SLI run better. as they need faster CPU..
you can very easily get to 4.0 Ghz on these chips.. even more so with the 780i. my 750i did it no problem. I'm sure your BIOS it a little different than mine. but start by disabling Intel Speed Step and C1E in CPU Features.
Then for the overclock. Start by getting Core Temp and telling us your VID. as that will help with letting us know what voltage to set.. Also at default voltage you should be able to hit 3.6 ghz or more. just punch in the number, save and exit.
Start with doing something like this. I'd set Ram to Manual and leave it at whatever the default stock speed is. clock that later after CPU is stable.
in BIOS do this.
set cpu voltage. aka vcore to 1.3v
set cpu fsb aka FSB/VTT to 1.3 also.
set VDIMM memory voltage to whatever mfg spec's call for. usually 2.1v
then I'd add a little to the NB as thats a big part of clocking Quads this high.
with those settings you should at least be able to hit 3.8 Ghz. at and 1.3v you might even be able to hit 4.0 ghz depending on what VID you have. Mine is 1.2500 and thats the highest you can get. I can't hit 4.0 Ghz stable with anything under 1.3312v but if your VID is like 1.2000 or so then 1.3 should hit 4.0 Ghz pretty easily.
Give that a try and get back to us!
will i need to do the pencil mod or any other mod im running water cooled cpu. i had a asus p5q dlx before which killed my 9800 gx2 but had no vdroop well maybe a tiny little bit but the 780i have quite a bit so i have heard. if the mod is need can somone point me in the right direction. i will check 2moz when i go home. then i will get back to you thanks for your help and advise so far thats why i love this forum every will always try to help you the best they can. thanks everyone here.
mine shows a VID in core temp as 1.1375v @ 4050.00MHz(450.00 x 9.0) Prime 95 Blend=100% load
:up:YaHoo !:clap:
ya Need to burn-in the CPU in for awhile before pushing these CPU's Hard ! the sensors will take a few days to move correctly .. as u can damage them & the CPU if pushed hard too earlyQuote:

& you should use the newest RealTemp 2.79.7 it is way more dependable with the newer quads

can't do SS right now off to work
temps under load 100% is 39,38,38,41 in RealTemp Prime 95 Blend @4GHz
I bet you have C1 or other energy saving option enable and if you don't upgrade your CoreTemp, Everest and etc it will show a lower VID also...Quote:

all these CPU's(the Q9650) are great everyone is hung up on the VID # not to worry .. just don't push them hard until burned in ...
How are you guys burning them in? Only leaving on idle for 24hrs? priming? What?Quote:

I just picked a a rampage extreme to try out with this 9650. I know most people say the maximus 2 formula i have atm will clock quads better, but i'm stuck at 480fsb with the maximus. Maybe i can get more with the rampage. bbl with results.
