I've found with both my Q9550 & now Q9650 that it's basically impossible for me to get over 470ish FSB with 8 GB truely stable though.

Very nice. I can stay stable at 4.05GHZ with my memory set to PL 7. I haven't tried it with PL 10. Perhaps I can hit 4.2 if I loosen up the memory a little.
Well you can run tighter tRD with X48 than P45 no doubt, but loosening tRD while working on CPU speed is never a bad idea.Quote:

5:6 or higher allows me PL8, but then i have to run lower CPU speed as the RAM only goes so high.
I'll post some screen shots and my batch number when I get home in a few hours. I only had a little bit to get it up and running last night but was running at 4Ghz 1.26vcore in bios no problem on my P5E3 Premium. I hope to get the P5Q3 up and running today.
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
I have my rig ripped apart, P5E3 Premium out and P5Q3 Deluxe in. I'm now sitting here waiting for the UPS man to arrive with my new Corsair PSU and eVGA GTX285 so I can get everything back together and up and running. Tracking number says out for delivery.
Here's the specs on my Q9650:
SLB8W
L844B781
VID: 1.235v
More results to come shortly
EDIT:
UPS man just arrived. Be back shortly we results!

Sounds like a RAM issue...Quote:

I fiddled with my Channel A clock and command skews and adjusted PL and all good. Must admit it is a pain

I'm trying to set the '500 spd' in my bios for a Maximus II Formula but I don't know how cause of the abbreviations etc.
My current settings:
1st Information:
5 CAS# Latency
5 DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay
5 DRAM RAS# Precharge
15 DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge
3 RAS# to RAS# Delay
65 Row Refresh Cycle Time
6 Write Recovery Time
4 Read to Precharge Time
2nd Information
8 READ to WRITE Delay (S/D)
3 Write to Read Delay (S)
5 WRITE to READ Delay (D)
4 READ to READ Delay (S)
6 READ to READ Delay (D)
4 WRITE to WRITE Delay (S)
7 WRITE to WRITE Delay (D)
3rd Information
14 WRITE to PRE Delay
5 READ to PRE Delay
1 PRE to PRE Delay
6 ALL PRE to ACT Delay
6 ALL PRE to REF Delay
and what does the "S" and "D" mean in 2nd info?
Thanks in advance
Well I finally got the system together and Vista Ultimate x64 installed. Here are some shots with my first try at 4Ghz on the P5Q3 Deluxe. I have ALOT of tweaking and testing to do. Will post some more results shortly. This thing flys at 4Ghz on low volts.
That's about were my vcore is. Mine is currently 1.3040
Still trying to adjust trace routes with the memory channels etc. Otherwise, i get almost 2rhs prime blend.
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 ;)

can't wait to see your templates, i have a susprise comming for the UD3P :surf:
I'll be back to rocking hte UD3P and can't wait, been havign fun with the
BLOODRAGE
Lately, but i think the UD3P will be back in the "IGLOO" this weekend for a little suprise fun.... :shrug:
But keep up the great work, always love to see your expert work :up:

just so you know, that batch is ace... Mine is from it doing 4.15ghz on 1.24vcore with only 1.15vtt on a 790i ultra... You must be Canadian too... Some folks have ordered to get this batch from overseasQuote:

wow guys, nice work. How are you able to get 4.0 Ghz with only 1.24 or 1.26v in BIOS.. and if it's 1.24 in bios, it's even less in CPU-Z huh.. thats just not fair... My board sucks. I'm sure I'd do much better with a better mobo, but I don't really need the extra 3 or 400 Mhz.. 4.3 Ghz is doable with my system, but I've yet to get it stable. I can bench with 4.275 Ghz.
Nice work with the 790i ultra there.
oh and to trigger, any Q9650 will be able to hit 4.0 Ghz with a faily decent motherboard. one as cheap as mine does it with no problems. just a lot of Vcore.
I almost want to mail my Q9650 off to one of you guys like Jor3 or someone to see how well it does in there board over mine.
Anyways, I'm posting in here to tell you all that I've finally done it, I got water-cooling. I have a HAF that is currently in my bathroom leak testing with a Apogee GTZ, MCP-655 D5 Vario, Feser TFC360 Rad, and the Micro res, all with Danger Den High flow barbs and Masterkleer tubing. I'm very exited for it. I can't wait to throw this Q9650 under some water and see how well I can do, the only problem is I need 1.312v to be stable at 4.0 Ghz, and thats in CPU-Z.. in Bios It's like 1.34v for 4.0 ghz stable.. but with 1.355 I'm able to bench with 4.25 Ghz. But I think my problem is that my motherboard is limited on the fsb/vtt voltage, I'm only able to raise the vtt voltage to 1.45v. I can't go any higher, and like Jor3, and Napalm said.. the higher vtt/fsb voltage sure helped them. Or it did with napalm. so we'll see what I can do with only able to go that high.
Results coming soon, I'll leak test tonight, and throw system in case tomorrow.
Jor3lBR, was there any advantage going from the F6 to F8a bios?

Most of these chips have stuck sensors, my new chip has stuck 34-34-32-34 sensors. I wonder if yours would have sucked ass like the one I had. I have seen chips from the same batch number act completely opposite of each other.Quote:

All of them have stuck sensors.
I have 1 stuck sensor at idle but is right in line with the rest at full load. Here's my best 1M score in the little time I've had to play with the new setup. Much more benching to come over the weekend.
*UPDATE*
I was able to get some lower SuperPi 1M and 32M scores and gain some ground with Vantage PhysX off.
For some reason this Board will not run 1:1 at all. I have 2 sets G.Skill 2x1GB 1600Mhz D9GTS that run DDR3-2040Mhz on my P5E3 Premium a set of Mushkin 2x2GB 1600Mhz D9GTS and a set of G.Skill 2x2GB 1600Mhz Samsung HCF0 and none of them will run 1:1 on the P5Q3 Deluxe. Not sure if I'm missing something here. Settings are a little different then my P5E3 Premium.
