Finding the minimum voltage for stock speeds...

That's 1.008v on cpu and 39C degrees max:D done more than 3 hours stable so far...

I realized you were on XP after my reply. I will do some more testing this week to see if different timings, PL, speeds give better results than others in 3DMARK06.Quote:

Thanks Deachus. I thought you would like that new chip, looks like you are right near me in clock speed. XP is usually good for about 500-1200 more points on average then Vista though recently I have seen exceptions where it was much less. PL can be a major influence on the CPU score in 06, that score I posted was at PL10 and if I had ran it at 7 my CPU score would have been right around 7600 at that speed. Your score is very good and will only get better I am sure. My GTX280 so far can do 816/1300/1674 with zero bleeding but I have some serious cooling which certainly helps big time.
Testing Prime Small on my first ever Q9650 at 4100Mhz, 1.264V.
Looking good so far.

Nice oc Jupiler, those four cores are rivaling your dualcore oc.
Thx.
I still have that E8200 running in a rig at 4100, 1.248V for 1 year now (bought it 02/22/08).
I swapped my P5Q Deluxe for the DK P45 Plus (for some reason, I love DFI boards), although I must say that this one was a little picky at the beginning.
Couldn't bot above 455FSB with my Quad, resulting in continuous reboots.
Removing my memory and booting with 1 stick, at 460/465/470/475/480 resolved it.
Placed the second stick back in and it worked again. Weird board, but typical DFI I guess. :D
Same here, natively trying board. İf u give up, it wins :DQuote:

Hello .
I bought a Q9650 to know if i was able to overclock it at 4300 mhz with only 1.4 volt .
But i must say what i was very disappointed . First of all , i needed 1.36 volt :eek: to be stable at 4050 mhz and it was impossible to exceed 480 mhz with the FSB and even less be stable at such high fsb !
So my question is : where do you find your fabulous q9650 ?? :confused:
Do you buy 10 processors to find a good one ? :rolleyes:
Here is my Q9650 Batch # L836B361 w/ VID of 1.2250
As you can see I just bought this as an upgrade. I had an E6400 before. System specs are as follows:
Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi
G.Skill 2x2GB Pi Black DDR2 800 F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B
Zalman CNPS9700
Antec P180
Corsair 520HX
This board has a horrible vdroop. vCore is set to 1.450 in the Bios, reads 1.400 at idle and 1.320 under full load using IntelBurnTest. Overall, I think this is a decent overclock considering its on a P965 board. What do you guys think?

No you just need a better board.Quote:

Some need less then others but that wall of 480fsb was probably the board not the cpu. :up:
Actually , i own a Asus P5E3 premium X48 and i don't think what it is a bad board but perhaps you are right and a P45 board is better with quadcore ? :shrug:Quote:

I bought mine in France this week and i hoped it would have been rockstable at 4.3-4.5 ghz with 1.45 volt max . But i have got no chance : only 4.05 ghz with 1.36 volt : not enough for me to change my qx9650 ! :(Quote:

Its under testing!
Finished playing with mine and its up for grabs....VID is 1.225v ;)Quote:

Does any one having the following batch L825B425 DATE 9/17/08 899134 SLB8W
i just need to compare before i buy it. tks

Guys, does someone of you have or know something about any of those 3 batches?
We are about to take a serious decision here:D

My L844B781 runs 4Ghz+ low volts and clocks so far up to 495FSB, still haven't hit a wall yet. I would say go for the L844B781 which is pretty close to mine. I have read that A chips are not as good as the B ones. Just my 2 cents.
I saw your temps under prime @ 4230mhz!!! Are they with your TRUE or with a wc systemQuote:

When I got my Q9650 I got it fully prime stable at 470*9 without any difficulty. It passed over 12 hours of priming and I was happy with it. I also managed to get it to pass the 12 hours of OCCT at 475*9. A few weeks ago I had a problem whilst video editing and I was convinced it was due to an upgrade I'd just done, so I made a bunch of complaints. Boy did I feel like a fool when I fired up prime95 and one of my cores failed within a few minutes. Turns out the stability (or rather, the lack of) was causing the problem.
Since then i've been trying to get it stable again at 470*9. I'm using a p5q-e mobo and I've tried a whole variety of BIOS's, included Ket's modded ones. I've played with every settings in the bios and I can not for the life of me get this rig stable again at 470*9. I did manage to get it stable at 467*9 for an 8 hour prime95 run, but anything more and it konks out on me. This is where it gets more interesting. It always, always, always fails on core 2 (assuming you assign them core 0/1/2/3). I've tried every VTT value from 1.3v to 1.46v and tried a range of GTL ref's for each value. None of them seem to get me stable. SmallFFT will always fail within 10 minutes. I don't understand what is going on.
What should I try next? What have I missed? Could my chip be dying? Could I simply have hit the exact correct settings by fluke when I first got the chip? For reference I've been using CPU voltage of 1.425 with LLC enabled. This gives a load voltage of about 1.43v which some might see as high, but I personally think it's fine. I've tried NB values from 1.3v up to 1.5v but that doesn't seem to help.
Why does core 2 always fail? What should I tweak to get this core back in line and playing happily? The chip isn't a duffer as it's stable enough to load windows and be used at 500*9 without any more vcore. I just can't get this one core to play ball. I've also tried the CPU clock skew and the NB clock skew, going through the possible options up to 200 (ie. 0/0,100/0,200/0, 0/100,1/200, 100/100, 200/200 etc), but nothing is helping. I think this chip can give more but stability is killing me at this point. I'm literally spending every waking minute rebooting, changing one value, and then rebooting to run prime95. Please help me to find some stability both for my PC and for myself!
ps. I've even thought about buying another Q9650! That's how frustrated I've become! ;)
That might be the max stable for that chip with the 9x multi. Mine acts similar to that but at the mid 480s with the 9x multi. It will go higher FSB with the 8.5x but I see no point in running these chips with the 8.5x. I have a P5Q dlx and the UD3P and it doesnt matter what board its on, how much voltage I give it, or what settings I adjust it will not pass small fft prime. It always fails within the first 4 runs on small fft prime at the mid 480s but will pass OCCT in to the mid 490s with the 9x. Im guessing OCCT is just not as stressful as prime. :shrug: The chip doesnt need much voltage to run what it does so I was kinda pissed at first when I got to this wall. Ive pretty much given up for anything higher thats prime stable unless someone has some suggestions.
