Thanks tool, but I just ordered a new q9650 to replace it. I'm putting that q9550 on ebay tonight. Ocing the 9550 wasn't as fun as the 9650.
This one will be on air so we'll see what I can get out of it.

A couple of tasters of mine so far:
Small FFTs @ 1.25vcore & 1.35vtt:

Pardon me but why use Prime for testing? isn't OCCT Linkpack or LinX the best choice to check rock solid stability, haven't had much time testing.

Some computers can pass Prime but can't pass LinX. Some can pass LinX but fail at Prime. Some pass Prime Small FFTs but fail the Blend test. Some pass the 32 bit tests but fail when running the same test when using a 64 bit OS.
And a really good computer can pass any damn test you throw at it even when grossly overclocked.
Here's the latest version of RealTemp for you.

Thanks for that Unclewebb, you're quite right. I always found I needed more vcore to pass P95 than linx on my Q6600, might be different on 45nm but I don't wanna run temps too high atm anyway.
Another good plus point about p95 is you can determine what voltages you need to increase if a certain fft size fails. Following that, I normally do a quick 1 hour test on OCCT to see if it's stable.
It can often give an error whilst doing this, but from that point it doesn't take too long to fine-tune the system, then I'll do a few hours in OCCT to finish. If I feel comfortable doing it, I'll give it a pew passes of linx too, but I'm gonna be very wary of it as I know 45nm are a little more fragile and I certainly dont want to fry or degrade the chip.
Currently at 494x8.5 to give 4.2GHz on 1.25vcore. This chip is chugging along nicely, will post pics when done :D
Still a learning curve for me, I see people mentioning VID, please tell me what does my VID mean, estimate how much voltage I'll need for the Vcore, currently its set to auto in the bios, thanks.

1.1625 VID is good, the lower the better (mine is 1.2). Although this may not precisely determine how much vcore you'll need for a given overclock it is likely it'll be nice and low :)
If you're current setting is stable, try lowering the vcore a bit more to see if it can do the same with less.
I'm back at it with a new chip.
I replaced my E8400 with a Q9550 a few days ago.
It turns out the VID was 1.3000 on that.
I had a really hard time getting to 4000mhz.
So, I have it selling on ebay, and I ordered a new Q9650 from newegg. Turns out my luck isn't getting much better.:upset: Got it tonight.
Q9650 Batch L932B844 Packed 10/8/09... About a month ago.
VID.... 1.275v
Totally sucks.
But it seems more stable than my old one (1.25vid) was.
Here we go with the screen shots... Looks like Intel's using a spiffy new box for it's ultra crappy VID chips... LOL. tear.:cussing:

Mine arrived in the same flimsy box. Compared to the older retail chips I was unimpressed with the way it semed to rattle around in there. Mine was an L929 batch, so just 3 weeks difference. Good luck with it ;)
Temps are looking pretty good, considering this one's on air. Priming at 4200 right now.

Nice Scores Sergio! Submit your results to support the team. :up:
Great job Sergio!
Thanks. Trying to do it on air this time. My sights are set a lot lower this time around.
Sergio, great results ! Very good for a single card :up:
What were ur settings for 523x9? I can't seem to get it to boot into windows. Furthest i got was near the end of loading screen. But then after trying more voltage on vcore, vtt, mch, pll, vdimm and i/o it freezes on post. I had the amps on 1000mV for CPU and MCH, and 50ps on MCH skew. :shrug:
BTW my PSU is 750w thermaltake, could that be limiting me? the 12v rail is 12.36v and the 3.3v is 3.24v on load at high clocks...
Hey mate how are you thank you for your words :up:
I can boot at this settings, don't get scared of my volts :D still a year and running all strong :up: volts shown are what my system needs

Q9650@ 4815mhz just booted into W7x64 to run some SPI's

All this i made boot volts to boot and stay stable for bench are more than if you boot at low lets say 4500 and then you use ET6. Normally i use this last method, that was done for fun with Oc Nub testing togheter
Hope it helps you.
Cheers :up:

Wow, 523fsb, that's really flying along good, that must have took a bit of tweaking, well done ;)
I'll have to have a good, long tinker after I've rebuilt my loop this weekend. Seriously doubt I'll be able to get anywhere near stable beyond 500 with this board, but the volts needed for 490x8.5 looks promising, and hopefully won't be after a lot more for ~500. If I spot a ud3p anywhere going for a good price i'll probably have to snap it up.
thanks for this andressergio.this is going to help
me out a lot.been trying to get 4707 stable and
not having much luck because im too greedy with
my volts.im now going to be a better man and give
my board whatever it needs:D
Very nice results Sergio.:up:
Put my giga rig back together last weekend and will play with these quads some more soon. Just been taking a break from it for a while.
Very nice Sergio! Better ram would have improved your scores a lot too.... :yepp:

Hi chaps,
I was wondering if anyone else has had any issues trying to stabilise at around 56-96K FFT in prime 95? I believe I've got enough vcore for the job, and have messed with GTL settings along with vMCH/VTT/vPLL for the past day. It always resets when hitting 96k and occasionally fails the 80k prior to that. Another overnight bleand test proved stable everywhere else until it hit the 96k range. At this point temps are at their highest across the board, but don't go far over 50°C which is still lots cooler than with my Q6600 before so I don't think its overheating (Q9650 hits 62-63°).
Anyone else experienced this and know how to stabilise? This is only at 466fsb too.
I'm at a loss :/
4770 / 4905 MHz ?!?! astounding stuff!
My friend sorry to say this...
here's the problem Asus Maximus II Formula P45 Rev.A3 + Q9650 you will have that sort of crap, see the disccussions around, me and lots of user went for the UD3P easy job to up a quad at 500+
on my MF2 couldnt go stable more than 475...when my mate Jor3lBR sent me the giga 500 was a minute...
I hate to say cauz i put myself in your place...but its like that
Cheers :up:
Sergio
Yeh, I was hoping the different CPU and memory would have resolved the issue but it's clear that this pos mobo simply isn't up to the task. Getting the CPU stable at 490fsb was easy as pie, but anything that stresses the nb beyond small fft range craps out just as easily. This is even with 10+ PL, lightest clock twister and lowest memory divider.
I'm hunting down a ud3p as I type, just gotta sell some parts first then I'll hopefully get my hands on one before christmas.
I know the ud3p is renouned for it's fsb capabilities, but I'm not overly concerned about breaking any fsb records, but would like 500fsb stable. Would the DQ6 or the extreme models do just as well? I kinda like the dQ6 layout more. I would also like to have some good fan control and temperature monitoring features, which I know the ud3 range lacks, does the DQ6 offer more of these? (sorry, a bit off topic here).
from what jor and napalm have said the extreme and DQ6
are very good boards with quads too.dont know about fan
control or temp monitoring.
oh i 100% agree the UD3P is the best buy.i was just
letting him know that they do OC quads good too.
and i remember some people in europe saying the
UD3P/R's are hard to find right now.
Server 2003 is the best OS ever! :cool: Sorry, I had to say that... it's just so mean when it comes to pushing hardware. Here's a little 1 hour of prime blend at 4.4GHZ...

I have the DQ6 and the UD3P, both are good boards. I was able to get higher fsb stable on the dq6. The only down side is that there is no LLC option on the DQ6 so your idle vcore will have to be higher. Other than that I highly recommend the DQ6. Both boards should give you a fairly easy 500fsb so cant go wrong either way IMO.
A 1m spi run I did last week for that hwbot country comp. I wish there had been some cooler weather during that stage for some better runs but it didnt happen. :up:
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...pImage5x-1.jpg
That is one very effective 1M run! Very, very good in fact considering you're on DDR2. :up:
My best run with the Rampage Extreme-E8600-DDR3 was 9.344sec at 4940MHz. (my former PB- crappy E8600)
You guys are having so much fun on this P45/ 9650 combi it almost wants to make me get some. :)
here's mine stable with CPU vcore: 1.39v

Verry nice i was priming at 1.216V load 500 x 8 with my Q9550 but it gets to 70C at all cores and i have a Z600 so i think i need some new coolpaste
Thanks. That was done on XP32 sp3 although I was planning on getting a copy of server03 to see if it will do any better. :up:
No FSB records broken here, but after installing a pair of half-decent modules, I've finally managed to get completely stable at 480x9 / 1150 PL8 with 4gb of this chaintech stuff - surprisingly good sticks of memory - only 1.86v needed of their recommended 2.1v for rated timings :).
Current Vcore of 1.4 is way overkill and I reckon I could drop at least .05v considering I could do 4.17GHz with 1.25v. I'm am yet to plot how this CPU scales with voltage, just wanted to rule out any cpu instability whilst I push the mobo & memory...
http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...ble1153PL8.jpg
*Edit:
Managed to get vcore down to 1.3125v. That's not bad for 4.32GHz is it?
Now I'm looking at pushing to 490 :)
Loco23,thanks for the app again.
and congrats on hwbot score1very nice.
This is my Q9650 OC took me some time to get it stable with a 2k FSB with 8GB of Ram. :up:
http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d...B-8GBofRam.png
khaldum, which mobo did you use?
quick question.. a good 9650 how much voltage needs for 4ghz(aircooled)? linx stable?
I used the Gigabyte EP45-UD3P v1.1 Bios Version F9.
The Voltage I used is 1.325 in the Bios which seems to be lower than I've seen on most 4GHz 9650's
Using 8GB of G.Skill 1066 DDR2.
Pretty much the same here ;):

Hi Papatsonis!
I've a Q9650 from the same batch as yours with same VID of 1,1250V...
Currently i'm Prime64 and Linx64 stable at 4Ghz with 1,21V :D on a DFI Lanparty X48 LT T2R under water (Swiftech Apex Ultra kit)...
Very nice chip, but warm...
Water needed! ;)
