HI, I am old and new and n00b and I come back :D:D from reading to posting
Past 6 months I watched and reading ;);) and I learned a lot from you, (especially from NapalmV5, andressergio, Jor3lBR, SNiiPE_DoGG, radaja...)
and now the time has come to post something:
I think my processor is not as good as yours but
- 1,2875 vid
- DQ6 has huge vdroop (at high FSB --> 0,10-0,12V)
- F12 bios
- boot in windows with 4,50 GHz
- anything above 520-525 FSB --> freeze or restart system
- stable at 4,00 GHz (445 FSB) for now
Here are some results:

@greg , for 450fsb the RF how much MCH needs? (with x38-dq6 , 450fsb/1200ram8gb , needs max vmch-1.625 for questionable stability... , for 445/1187, just 5 mhz only lower.. is 9hrs linx stable with 1.525)
Damn, it sucks seeing you people with gigabyte boards pushing the hell out of these things. It's a pain to reach 4.25ghz even with my MIIF, although doable. It's not worth it to upgrade for a 250mhz increase in clocks for 24/7, although it would be very nice to bench at 4.75ghz+ Ah well, 775 is getting old. Shouldn't waste more money it I guess. I'll upgrade to I7 once I get some spare money laying around :p:
E-mil,very nice clocks and results.it takes work
to get results like your,so i know you've done the work.
jor told me the same thing once, "read up and test
like crazy to find out what your particular cpu/MB/ram
combo likes and needs".great job:up:
GUYS, how much nbv needs someone with X38-DQ6 @ 450fsb + 1200 8gb ram
Ihave a friend with maximus formula X38 and he needs crazy nbvolts to run his system stable @ much lower clocks - something like 1.69-1.73. But the thing is that he runs his system with these crazy volts for over 2 years now.
My guess is that you can safely run with up to 1.70nbv IF you can keep nb cool.
no man.. its not dreaming... right now i have finished stability tests(9hrs Linx64 - 7200mb) for 445 fsb/1.2vtt , and 8gb gskill 8800pi@ 1187 PL6 with 1.525 VMCH , just the chipset scales heavily non linear.. and for 450 fsb i need 1.625 VMCH (havent test all possible gtlref settings for 450 though)
forgot to tell , with Turbo mode, not Extreme (for extreme need ~0.1+ volt additional the x38) , extreme saves about 2.5ms in latency and give a small boost in read , but doesn't worth the heat...
neither mine (pi 8800) can go above 1220-1230 , till there are stable with minimum voltage from dq6 (1.89) but almost dont scale at all, had tried till 2.05 and saw increasing errors after 1.98v
I haven't tried to find vcore needed for 4GHz, but for 466x9=4.194GHz I need 1.25v, and for 480x9=4.32GHz, 1.3125v is needed. My vid is 1.2v but vcore needed is likely to be very similar judging by the way it scales. I'll have a stab later, just busy getting 4.4GHz stable with just 1.35v :cool:
Guys, today I removed my CPU and I noticed 2 pads on the CPU didn't have any pin marks, is that normal? I was getting some slow downs in prime95 so maybe that's related?
I marked them on this picture, they are the 14th and 15th pads from the right? what does these 2 pads are responsible for?

Small update :)
wPrime @ 4662 MHz (validation)

^memory time sucks.
Yes, it really seems they have identical behavior! :D
I'm running it now @ 4Ghz with 4GB (2x2) of OCZ PC2 8500 Platinum Edition @ 1:1 (DDR2 891) with:
- timings 4-4-4-12,
- strap 333/667,
- Performance Level 7
with only 1.21VCore, 1.20VTT, 1.40V on MCH and 1.85V on DRAM.
Everest cache and memory benchmark average marks in these values:
- Read: 9045 MB/s
- Write: 9465 MB/s
- Copy: 8520 MB/s
- Latency: 55.0 ns
I've done accurate fine tuning on GTL+ and memory timings to gain stability with these low voltages and i think that i'll be able to handle this overclock even on summer... :up:
DFI boards are so tricky to be fine tuned but when you have time and persistence it's a satisfactory goal! :yepp:
Bye
nice!! awesome vMCH , ONLY 1.41!!!, either my X38 chipset , or the DQ6, cant do these speeds at such low voltage , or i miss some magical setting :/ , my stable are 445/1187 PL6 with 1.525 vMCH :/ , ive done extensive testing on all possible GTL adjustments (in fact only GTLRef 1 , cause the oher GTL except normal, refuses to boot)with no practical gain :( . Relaxing PL, didnt bring any substancial gain (perhaps, 0.025 vmch less - so no point) , tried to relax the x38, testing with 4gb ram only, neither that worked..
my q9650 is at 4.095Ghz - 455*9 @ 1.25v - ive got an asus p5q deluxe and 2*2gb corsair dominator 1066 ram - my cpu is 20 loops minx stable and 6hours p95 stable with cpu at 4.095 and ram at 1092mhz - all voltages have obviosly been increased...
for some reason when i got over 455 even by 1mhz it becomes unstable in games BSOD's on me an restarts my pc when running linx!!!! what u recon i need to increase to get it stable at 460mhz???
vcore - 1.256v gtl refs 0.660 + 0.660
cpu pll - 1.56v
vtt - 1.26v
vram - 2.14v
vNb - 1.24v
any help guys??
cheers
Since a lot of you are pushing your Q9650's for quite awhile now, what's the voltage you guys have been able to use consistently without getting overclock degradation? (on air).
Has anyone used something like 1.45v over long periods of time?
i changed my cpu gtl refs to 0.660 for both the 1/3 and 2/4 values - nb gtl is on auto - im not sure what to do with that. i found with these cpu gtl refs i got more Gflops after running Linx:)
my nb is at 1.24 - and seems to be stable - i didnt want to raise it that much as its cooled with stock p5q deluxe heatsink and a fan at the side.
u recon then for an fsb of 460mhz - raise cpu from 1.275(BIOS) to about 1.285v? and nb to 1.26 - 1.28? the cpu pll is at 1.54 - i know that a high pll will kill a cpu so its ok at 1.54v - how high will it be ok to go? cpu is liquid cooled BTW.
For those speeds mine worked best at 0.635 for both cpu gtls, as I went higher (480s) the higher gtls worked better up to 0.655 for both. Auto on the NB gtl worked fine for me up to about ~470fsb than I set it to 0.665. 1.24NB is not alot especially with a fan on the heatsink and 1.54 pll is also fine. What vid is this chip?
i think my VID is 1.1725v.
i thought the cpu gtl was 2/3 of the vFSB/VTT?? so 2/3 of 1.26 is 0.840 = 0.660*1.26 = 0.8316.
is this completely wrong???? or do you just have to mess around with the gtl refs???
or do you set lower gtl refs for lower fsb (start on 0.635) then go higher to like 0.670 with a higher fsb?
help on this please!!
Ok here's mine at 7+ hours stable, doesn't seem to like voltage, any advice on where to go from here would be appreciated.

Edit: just re did 1280k with PLL 1.55v and pass, take it from there.
0.635 is usually a good starting point with these chips at low to moderate fsb and may need a little more as fsb goes up. Every setup is a little different so you need to find out what yours likes best. Try this 456fsb with 1.2625vc, 1.54pll, 1.26vtt, 1.28nb, both cpu gtls at 0.635 and nb gtl on auto. Also do you know for sure if your ram will run stably up to 1100+? Have you tried dropping down to 1:1?
q9550, with VID 1.265..........:p:

Thanks and good luck with your ln2 benching. :up:
Hoss331 - i tried my ram on the divider below - so they ran at 931mhz or something with fsb at 458 - cpu@ 4.124ghz - this was fine - only thing was - my linx Gflops output was far less because my ram was like nearly 130mhz slower per stick.!! so i recon i'll loosen some timings to get them running at 1100mhz.
Good to see the Q9650 thread still going strong! Makes me miss my old chip.... sure did run a whole hell of a lot cooler than this 860.....>.<
andressergio,which batch did you get?
did you get an even lower vid chip?
