Thanks xguntherc :up: yes very nice gesture from my friend Jor
And yes this UD3P's are awesome boards.
Cheers :up:

There's some new batches for the Q9650: L845B527...
I can't find informations on it.
Hope that these new Q9650 will have some better OC than the last Q6600s...
L844xxxx seems to be nice BTW
:D
L825B425
Clocks very good but needs high(est) voltage (around here) :cool:
how high are u talking?
Look at mine L844B801, 1.36 BIOS = 1.44 1.42 idle everest and cpu-z.

Wow, that's pretty high voltage for 4Ghz. Do you have LLC enabled on that shot? The reason I ask is because I am running 480FSB, 4230Mhz p95 stable with 1.33v set in bios and CPUZ reads very close to that with LLC set to Auto. I have yet to gain anything with LLC enabled on both my P5E3 Premium or P5Q3 Deluxe. Most of the time when I enable it my system won't post. Better stability with it set to Auto, that's just my experience.
Here's the specs on my Q9650:
SLB8W
L844B781
VID: 1.235v
On the Asus Striker II Extreme Anand article has this to say about LLC. LLC has caused some 790i people to BSOD/reboot at idle.
"Loadline Calibration - [Enabled, Disabled] Setting Enabled will effectively remove any negative feedback in the CPU supply voltage regulation circuit. This means that there will be little to no difference between the CPU supply voltage at idle and full-load. This does not mean however that there will be no offset seen between the idle voltage and the CPU Voltage VID as selected in BIOS. Disabled follows the Intel specification and allows the CPU supply voltage to droop under load as properly designed. We recommend you leave this Disabled and increase CPU Voltage as needed to satisfy the minimum operating voltage needed under load.
"
LLC is disabled in that shot. BIOS is set to 1.36. My board either overvolts like mad or the board is misreporting the voltage. I'm sorta leaning towards misreporting because when I look at the voltage monitor in the bios itself, it takes 3 or 4 setting changes to get it to move. What I do know is if I lower my vcore one notch I'll BSOD Intel Burn test and error our Prime95 blend.
Hmm, I thought for sure with the vcore in CPUZ shot that you had LLC enabled. Have you tried reading vcore with a DMM? If I am ever unsure of what is reporting correctly I take a reading with my trusty DMM during LinX or P95 full load testing. Seems to me it's your MB, you should not need that much vcore for 4Ghz stability. Have you tried tweaking GTLS and Skews? I was able to lower my vcore from 1.35v to 1.33v p95 stable @ 4230Mhz just by tweaking my GTL's and CPU/NB skews.
wow.. 1.36 in BIOS at 1.44 in CPU-Z. I'm completely the opposite to that.
I'm currently running 4.0 Ghz with 1.35v in BIOS, and 1.320v in CPU-Z, and then 1.312v Load.
thats way off. How weird.
Mine is a L822B363 with a VID of 1.2500 and like I said above, 4.0 Ghz with 1.312v but thats on my 750i. so another board it could probably do better.
Runnin mine at 1.45vcore just to see if its stable at 475fsb on my miif board :(
Looks like I had some room for improvement. Didn't want to overload my tiny rad so I only ran 3 passes.
That's Bios 1.325 LLC enabled. Idle for screen shot.
It's only been priming for 30 minutes, I need a new cooler.
I can boot into memtest (usb) @4.8 ghz. Test #5 will pass twice, then the computer re-boots @multiplyer6. That means it exceeded 100C :shocked:
That is with VCore @ 1.5 volts. But; the chip is still going strong. I'll wait for better cooling to try it again. Big Typhoon was good a couple of years ago; but today it just dont cut it. :down:

My Vcore has to be 1.35 to pass IntelBurnTest @4.0ghz But; it will pass Prime95 blend much lower.
I have a L845B527 got it last week I did have a quick play and it ran 4.05Ghz (450 x 9) prime small fft stable for about 30 mins at 1.26V, although I tried it on a M2F which I don't like might get a UD3P to test it out next week when I'm back home... VID of the chip I have is 1.1875...
EDIT: forgot to mention it did have a few stuck temp sensors which don't like temps below 40 degrees but at higher temps they were all within 2 degrees of each other...
I just got this one yesterday from Newegg.
Batch#: L836B361
VID: 1.2125v
I think it has a lot more left in it but my board can't go any higher. It only needs 1.26v to run stable at 4ghz but anything over 450mhz fsb and I have to poor on the voltage to VTT and Vcore for stability.
Actual voltage under load is only 1.31v for 4.1ghz.

L845 and it's VID is 1.18.. wow.. thats a great chip.
I heard that the L845's have stuck sensors in most of them, and that the newer chips didn't have sensor problems, but the recent 44's and 45's do.
A guy on ebay has Q9650's for $289.99 free shipping. but they are all L842, or L844's. and I'm trying to decide if I want to snag a second one.. but Il ike my L826 that I have.
Can you guys post what batch #'s you have, what the VID's are and your clocks? I'm trying to decide what to do. maybe we need to start a official Batch # / VID thread for the Q9650's.
:banana::banana::banana::banana: ?
have sold my Q9650 and barter over with a QX9770 a good one, but when I throw Q9650 into his motherboard, it can run 4GHZ prim at only 1.1285v whit a ASUS Rampage Extreme
so now I have even ordered a ASUS Rampage Extreme, instead of my ASUS P5Q Deluxe.
Think that there is so much different on a motherboard.
I am not unhappy with my trading,Butt ??
I had had such a motherboard from strart, it was probably not have been sold, thinking of how far I could be reached with this motherboard
I dunno about your trade mate and how Asus run on these Quads but I guess they all do better on UD3P's and Ep45-Extreme.
Those are a hell of a lot volts for that FSB for only cpu-z runs (no stress IBT or Prime95).
Probably a bad chip or bad mobo or both so I couldn't say much you should talk to Sergio and Radaja, both traded Asus for Gigabyte and they are very pleased.
Bios 1902 ?
Link plz :)
I've been reading this thread over the last few days after picking up a new Q9650. L843B805. I'm running it on a EVGA 780i A1 which comes to my surprise it isn't one of the better boards. Well it's what I have to work with so I will throw out a few things to see if I can get a few tips.
I've done my best over on their forums but they seem to be a bit less active than this thread. And you guys seem to have a handle on this better than most.
Right now my rig is running at 4000.5 445X9 and my Vcore is set to 1.40 bios which reads 1.376 in CPU-Z.
I've been hesitant to go above that vcore setting without really understanding the temps and what I should be looking for. So far this thread has vcore settings anywhere from 1.27 all the way up to 1.5 and so on.
She boots fine and I have yet to have it crash on anything other that Prime95 with the Small FTT test.
Under idle it runs low 30C and under Blend it will run mid 40-50Cs Under Small it will go up to around 60C.
I'm also running an older Zalman 9700 LED which I've read isn't cutting it at these speeds anymore.
So question is it worth getting it Small FTT stable and if so am I okay to keep going up in vcore? What Temps should I watch out for...
Any advice would be appreciated.
