Got one here on a 790i Ultra doin 4.191GHz on 1.248Vcore under an Enzotech Ultra-X(Air)

9x465

1.1875VID

The most amazing thing about this chip is that it's only needing 1.15VTT :D

Very annoying and after running some failed attempts at 450x9(BSOD'd within seconds after boot) and 8x475(wouldn't even boot), I decided to RMA this chip. If it had actually OC'ed well and not been max VID I might have kept it despite the annoyingly stuck temp sensors. Good news is that NewEgg accepted my request from a replacement and it should be here sometime close to Tuesday after next. For my test runs I increased VTT all the way up to 1.4 and left vcore on auto evertime, I used 1.38NB and 1.54PLL, left my RAM at default and kept the PL at 10 to remove the possibility that my RAM was causing the instability's. Only thing I did not try was one of KET's modded bios's but in the next week I will use my old Q6700 and mess around with a mBIOS to see if they improve max FSB(~460) for my old chip.

Your scaring me here, I just got a chip from the same batch with no stuck sensors, luckily as long as she clocks well (a stuck sensor would be a good excuse to RMA a sorry clocker). I had an e8400 C0 with the same VID, a stuck sensor, and it was a sorry clocker. Im hoping that this one is a decent clocker. Ill find out tomorrow when I get the chance to do some testing.

4.05 without breaking a sweat. so glad i upgraded from my q9450!
Batch: L827A
VID: 1.2250v

These processors should come stock @ 4Ghz :rofl:

4.3Ghz is the new 4ghz for these chips it seems

Mine is average and has done 4Ghz 1.24v 25 run IBT stable

Don't worry, these things are all hit and miss and I do not think batch number means much. My replacement should be here Monday.

I think your joking but if not and Intel made a Q9750 you would have a 3.2ghz stock chip stuck with a 8x multi right?

No a 9.5 multi mate, don't think they will drop multi down and higher FSB like they did with the QX9770...

I just started to oc my chip. So far it seems like a decent clocker for a chip with a 1.25 VID, better than my e8400 atleast. Ive allways been worried about loadline calibration. Would I be better off (safer) running my chip as it is now with loadline disabled 1.42 vcore in bios and 1.32 full load after vdroop or turning on loadline with a lower voltage for 24/7 useage? The spikes worry me.

ahhhh, so maybe intel isn't EOLing 775 quads that are good after all..... this is good news, good news indeed

Not that good those volts are for 450x9, but still better than my wolfdale. I was hoping for 475x9 with these voltages, but I have yet to fine tune anything. I just threw in some ballpark voltages. It posted at alot less and has been priming for about a half hour now. *knocks on wood*

not having too much luck with this L820B033 Q9650

am stable at 1.3v @ 4ghz

but with 8 multi & 500fsb it won't get past bios; which brings me to my question. I've tried as far as 1.4vcore to get it stable but no luck; but am able to do 480fsb 8.5m @ 1.4 The obvious is my subsystem like NB FSB etc but I was stable running Large FFT's at a 6multi & 500 fsb with 1.3v...

so, is 1.4v too much for 24/7 on custom H20 capping at about 60c-load?

In bios, idle, load? Is loadline enabled? I would say no either way, though. I ran my e8400 around that for a while with no voltage degredation at all. Im priming away for 5 hours now at 445x9 with 1.328 vcore now, 1.39 idle. Vdroop is huge on my board. I'm topping out at 53c on two cores and 48c on the other two. I really need to do a washer mod on my TRUE. Ill be swaping out my psu soon. Ill do it then.

what chipset are you on? I think 1.4v is fine 24/7 as long as your temps are under control :) I've been crunching 24/7 for a few weeks now at 1.4v/4300mhz with my highest core @ 50C and I have had no issues at all

To: Bababoooey (LOL) forgot about that guy... but currently I've changed my vcore to 1.368v; fsbT to 1.3650v; NB to 1.51v; on a Maximus II Formula 1901 bios set to 480fsb & 8.5multi and it just did 17minutes of Large FFt's prime and am testing small FFT's currently... working my way up to 500fsb & 8 multi

i can't remember any of the other settings but I haven't messed with the GTL's or much more

EDIT: sorry SNiiPE DoGG. A P45 Asus Maximus II Formula board

I would be much more worried about that vNB, why so high? Playing with my gtls made a huge difference with stability. Just be sure to set your PLL manually as well. I wouldn't worry untill you stsrt to get near 1.45 VCC for 24/7 useage, but thats just my opinion.

No, you'd have a 3160/12mb/1333 E0 Yorkie with a 9.5 multi.. that clocks like hell!:rofl:
That "partial" shot was on air, on an old Asus P5K Premium.

did short stability testing ...

with ~ 20min of large FFT's and ~ 20 min of small FFT's things went smooth at these settings

vcore: 1.36875v
PLL: 160600v
FSB termination: 1.36500v
NB: 1.51075

480fsb & 8.5multi

I'm running a 120x38mm fan over the NB area

btw, this is on custom H20 ...didn't know if i mentioned that...

EDIT: failed OCCT - back to the drawing board

I should apologise. Didn't mean to derail the thread.

Is that Q9750 legit? It would explain the binning on these chips recently.

no, movieman is lying and he definitely doesn't have a q9750

Legit is a funny word..but it is a 3160/12mb/1333 E0 Yorkie and those numbers are legit and you guys know I'm no great bencher so you'd probably do better with it.

Hey can you just flip up that fan grate and cook me up some burgerzzzz.

So how do you like the extreme compared to our beloved UD3P? :rolleyes:
