quick question,is there something i should do in terms of making use of all 4 cores in XP and vista?cause i keep seeing posts about activating the cores in the OS?something about only one core works by default and if you change some setting it will boot up faster cause it will use all 4 core on startup.any help i can get ill take.
run, msconfig, boot tab, advanced options, you can play with max cores and maxmem during bootup.Quote:

Won't hurt anything.Quote:

Using info that i got in this thread and the ud3p thread here is my 1 day overclock. We will see how stable it is, I just started prime a few minutes ago.
If these settings look familiar; I stole them from radaja. Easiest overclock.....
EVER...If anyone sees anything alarming let me know. I will try to reduce voltages,,,maybe, if i dont increase FSB first
thanks guys

mreld3r,very nice! and with such low vcore.makes me want to try and see if i can lower mine,be right back
well, that voltage WAS low...too low
Priming again @1.35 see if it can make it longer, im NOT going to run it for 8 hours tho. Im not interested in PRIME stable just 24/7 stable. Nothing I do on mycomputer stresses it as much as prime. As long as it dont overheat/crash during everyday use, im happy. Real world stable > prime stable for me.
Well done mreld!Quote:

Just copy my template or radaja's knowing that MCH Ref and CPU Ref can change a bit according to mobo used and cpu you'll be fine till Intel come up with something better then i7 next year :up:
I know its not stable...but,,,

Not likely stable, but i'd be happy with 4 GHz...so yeah
VID is 1.15v
Temps at same vcore as previous Q9550 are drastically higher :(
Q9550 needed nearly 1.4v to do 4+ GHz.
Q9650 is doing over 4 GHz @ 1.3v :)
Oh, & i'm back to my P5Q-D...thank god.
UD3P was short-lived less than fun experiment that failed.

Very not bad at all :yepp:Quote:

Hey guys, got my Q9650 from Newegg on Monday batch #L834B631.
Edit: VID for this chips is 1.2500 using coretemp 0.99.4 and it appears I might have some stuck temp sensors. Right now I am still testing and sometimes they work at load and sometimes all they read is 32-34-34-35 at idle and full load. So far they have never read anything lower then 32-34-34-35 but I have at least got them to rise above that at full load under OCCT 2.0.1. Later today I will try 4.05ghz and post some screen shots. I am hoping this max VID chip ends up being a decent overclocker. My goal is 4.2ghz stable on air under 60-65C.
First test I ran was at stock speed 9x333 just to get a slight judge for it. CPU Vcore was at Auto with 1.20NB 1.26VTT(Higher then I needed) 1.52PLL. At full load CPUZ read 1.24vcore, 45C full load, which means it will probably be stable at ~1.19v for 3.0ghz. Tonight I will try for either 8x500 to see what my max FSB is or 9x450 to see what Vcore I need for 4.05ghz. I should know my tonight how well this thing will OC.
All my BIOS voltages are reduced as much as possible ;)
Validation: 4510.91 MHz (Max-Air) Gonna try dicing.

ok, so the latest war against the x48 rages on, but making excellent progress. i wanted to ask you guys a few questions though, if anyone has any thoughts perhaps.
is there a specific GTL voltage that a specific proc is looking for in terms of stability? i mean like all around? or is it on a per (literal) processor type basis? I finally am able to boot into windows with stability at 450x9 (q9650) and went through 11 rounds of linpack without error. comparing the options that the UD3P has, i think the current BIOS of the Rampage Formula is slightly limited, and therefore could perhaps require a lot of vtt voltage to attain the correct GTL voltage.
anyway, so like i said, im running 1.20 actual under load. extrapolating my BIOS settings out, my CPU GTL should be around .78 (using the .65 GTL ref). i tried dropping to 1.3625v vcore in BIOS, but that was wholly unstable. should anything else be matched in light of that vcore change, even though i didnt touch the vtt nor cpu GTL ref value?
Am i making sense here at all? or is all this just the complete moronic misunderstanding? maybe i have one hot-damn insurgent of a Q9650 that requires some pretty damn lame volts to remain stable? how would you all go about this?
Just wanted to say this is an AMAZING CPU! I'm doing 4.25GHz 24/7 stable with sub-par watercooling and half-decent ram. If I had a better rad I bet this thing would be stable at 4.4 or 4.5GHz for sure.
I posted my BIOS settings in the Gigabyte UD3P thread here:

sean222,great job! yea these 9650's are simply amazing.ive been lusting after these cpu's for about3 months now and as soon as that price drop hit....BAM i pressed the continue with purchase button and now i am one happy camper.and being able to use it in my UD3P is just a great bonus.i mean it clocks just as easy and good as my dual core did.like you said AMAZING CPU.again great clocks
Thanks man, I'd love to push it further...but I can't justify spending a couple hundred to upgrade my watercooling just for ~200 more mhz. :(Quote:

I found using 63mV to 70mV (and sometimes 80mV on failing cores via Prime) has helped. Its good that you managed to pass IBT as it proved to be very difficult to pass (for me anyway) over 484x9 - Prime is not so bad. From my personal experience its pretty much trial and error although there is some theory in the GTL ref thread here in XS.
I am unclear on whether there is a specific relationship between GTL/VTT and vCore but when I fiddle with the BIOS i'll poke around to see if there is some kind of relationship - but from my experiences I'd have to side with the trial and error camp.

this morning i was able to do this.still testing for stability though.http://i43.tinypic.com/1zc2yhx.jpg
Highest I could go so far on water with 8GBs of RAM, NB Maxed.
here is where im at , need some more tweaks . got a question for you guys, should i go water or just stronger fans , right now i have a TRUE w/antec tricools in push pull at high.
http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n.../q96504250.jpg
some good fans might get you a few degrees for $30 tops, water will get you 10-15c lower at load for about $300
its all about which you can afford
would this be good enough : Swiftech H20-22- Apex Ultima Liquid Cooling KitQuote:
