Pull the trigger on A batch CPU????
Looking to grab at Q9650 to go in my Striker II Extreme 790i which I'm going to pair with 8GB's of Patriot 2000 9-9-9-24.
Seems all the batches available to me locally are L828A446...reading the first part of this post re batches it seems I want a B batch. Does it REALLY matter as getting a B is proving difficult.
Thanks guys. Need 4.0ghz with 8GB DDR3 RAM
Q9650 4500Mhz in water stable under 1.37vcore is now possible!
After a week of fun in the Extreme, now it's time to apply some gained skills on the UD3P :up:
What I thought it was impossible is so far holding strong on my UD3P. This board and cpu just keep going and going! The hard part is to use the least amount of volts for the cpu and highest mem strap and timings possible.
Noticed I changed voltages from Team Xtreem to G.Skills a bit but that was only because of larger RAM used for testing.
All this in cheap water cooling system.
I try to send as many pics of the entire testing process (beginning/middle/ end) because I noticed many fake SS's around the web of people adjusting voltages and/or cutting blend tests as customs trying to deceive people here...

I will post more results and templates during the next week, this was very very very hard to achieve and needed some voodoo magic to work! :up:
Now lets move on to get closer to 5000Mhz stable ;)
