i have no idea?except that i had an E8500 in then swapped out for the 9650,cleared cmos,loaded setup defaults booted into windows then it said it had drivers for the 9650 and said to restart and then i got this.pretty strange though.

yea i got fixed.thanks
Latest on my MFII....12 Hours+ Prime screenshot
CPU GTL's are +10/-40/+10/-40
NB GTL is +60mV

3Dmark06 - 22051 with single GTX285 FTW, no tweaks

I am amazed at how tight this board allows me to run my Mushkin 2x2GB D9GTS. This was not at all possible on my P5E3 Premium. I am running DDR3-1568Mhz @ 6-6-6-18-2T-60~1.98v. These sticks ran DDR3-1600Mhz 7-7-6-18-1T 1.94v on P5E3 Premium. Bandwidth looks really good as well:)
Hey guys
A friend of my is going to buy a Q9650 and he has the EVGA I790 ULTRA SLI, how are this mobos to clock this chips ?
Cheers :up:

This Q9650 and GTX 285 are still scaling nicely:D Haven't hit a wall yet on the CPU or VGA. I just finished up some benching, now time for some dinner. I am still amazed at the memory performance with these tight timings but low mem speed. I was able to run this set close to 2000Mhz on my P5E3 Premium but the Everest and SuperPI results were no were close to these:eek: I'm loving this new setup and I believe I got a great Q9650 from Newegg.
I have one, but it needs lots of volts to do 4ghz even at 1.4 vcore in bios it fails prime instantly.
settings are
vcore 1.4
cpu pll 1.50
FSB term 1.36
dram 2v
NB 1.71v
SB 1.1
CPU GTL 0.63
NB GTL 0.67
SB 1.5v voltage 1.50v
this seem pretty high to me.
can get in windows at 4.2ghz with much higher volts but still unstable.
Do I just have a rubbish cpu, board is an X38 P5E which has been rock stable at the 467fsb with my previous Q9300 with much lower vcore than 1.4v
What's the voltage under load (not in the bios?)
That matters.
If you're dropping to like 1.32v under load, there's the problem. You may need to do a vdroop mod or use loadline calibration (or equivalent) to reduce vcore droop.
Running OCCT now, have had to increase the volts in bios to 1.4250v and CPU PLL to 1.56v.
done 5 mins so far with no errors, will see if it pass's the full hour. vcore in this program sais 1.34 though so board undervolts quite abit.
Using loadline calibration in bios.
failed after 8:32
shall I keep on increasing vcore.
temps got to 74c on one core, pretty high considering I am under water.
water consists of 120.3/D-Tek fuzion V1 with quad nozzle, XPSC NB block, Asus 3a mosfet blocks, solid copper SB heatsink. Pump is 18w DDC with flexitop.
vcore listed as 1.38 in OCCT.
testing again 1.43150v in bios, this drops as low 1.34v at some points under load.
Failed after 11:56 on latest run.
Have dropped NB volts down to 1.51v now though.
if you're setting 1.42vcore and getting 1.34 load then it means loadline calibration is NOT enabled.
All good fun on a Sunday morning this is, lots of work finding the right settings for a new CPU, thats why we love it though.

enfin la barre fatidique des 500 est passée :up:
Thats a great overclock, dont think I will get anywhere near that, I'm afraid.
But Banny,
What is your idle voltage (in cpu-z?)
If your idle voltage is .06 volts HIGHER than your load voltage, then loadline isn't active for some reason. Loadline is supposed to make your idle and load voltages very, very close.
Disable loadline and then compare the two voltages for me.
Wow Dark, 4.59... 4.6 Ghz. thats sweet. I'm able to hit 4.3 Ghz, but I've never tried for higher, I've also never took my CPU over 1.3625v in Bios yet either. so I'm sure I can get some better clocks out of it.
Anyways, I had a question for everyone in here. If anyone has a Q9650 under Water-cooling Could you Please, Please post your idle and load temps for it.. I just put my Q9650 under water for the first time, and so far I "Think" I have good results. My temps are pretty good. But I'm just wondering what others have, I know loops differ, and some may have GPU's in there loops, but post anyways please.
I just threw a GTZ, Feser 360 and a D5 Vario on my Quad. and I'm now idling around 26c at 4.0 Ghz with 1.312v (that is my 24/7 atm, but now I got water :) )
So 4.0 Ghz with 1.312v and idling around 26c, and the important temp, Prime 95 Load temps were 40/41, 37, 38, 38 after 30 minutes of Prime, not bad at all I'd say. But this i why I wanna compare to others.
Thanks.
Oh and here's a peek at the new Loop and case that's cooling my Q9650... I'm exited to enjoy my water loop.

Idle voltage is 1.4v, 100% 1.352 this is in CPU-Z, gonna do the pencil mod anyway.
Have 26mins to go on this OCCT have increased bios volts to 1.44375v now, VVT 1.32 and NB 1.41.
Had vcore 1.436v before and failed after 41 mins, so increased one notch and re-testing.
BTW once stable in OCCT can I reduce vcore for everyday gaming
My idle is quite high in the 45c mark, according to OCCT, thats with water, but could be due to the fact I am also cooling NB and mosets in same loop, mind you I do a PA120.3 and 18w DDC pump, maybee need to do the thermal paste again.
Under 100% load max temp has been 77c
Passed an hour at these settings.
Gonna drop PLL down to 1.52 from 1.56 see if it works.
With loadline disabled
Vcore idle 1.40v 100% load 1.36-7v so its the same, seems like loadline doesn't do anything.
Time to get the pencil out then.
wow.. under water your idle is at 45c. something is not right. Thats to high. you should try a reseat. what thermal paste did you use, and how much? NB and mosfets shouldn't make that big a difference. Maybe a GTX 285 would, but not the NB..
Also, your needing 1.436 just to almost pass OCCT with 4.0 Ghz.. thats a very high vcore? I think it's because your x38.. if you got a P45, you'd hit 4.0 Ghz with less than 1.36v unless your chip is really that bad, but I've not heard of any that bad yet. get the P5Q Deluxe, or the Gigabyte UDP3 and you'll get some better clocks.
I agree the P5Q deluxe or the Gig udp3 seem to like quads, I have the P5Q deluxe running Prime again with a 9650 at 4320 at 1.375 bios for almost an hour now with out issue.
did the volt mod, reseated the CPU now it wont start up, just keeps switching on spins the fans then shuts off again, in one loop.
wiped the volt mod off, so probably killed it now.
Now thats overclocking
resetting the CMOS never made any difference
I dont beleive his x38 will be the problem, my Q9650 only needed 1.216v for 4Ghz stable on my maximus formula, my P5Q and UD3P were not stable at such low vcore. Maybe he has a bad chip.
