im gonna stop here.. dont want to pump more than 1.5vcore on air or at least until i get a better cooler

thats very impressive dude, what board are you using?
i cant even get mine 3d stable at 3.6, its doing my head in.

funny that is, i was looking at that board last night and trying to convince myself not to spend more money on my pc. how are the bios settings in these? eaiser than a DFI x48. as i think im in over my head, just too many settings for somebody who really dosnt have time to play with them all. i did have my q6600 at 3.6 stable on this board but the q9650 really dosnt like anything i throw at it.
Andrew

WaterFlex - its about time quads do high fsb aswell.. :)

terroristone - x38/x48 are the worst chipsets.. unless you ln2 the chipset to hell youre not gonna get much out of it.. theyre more suitable for unlocked cpus..

youre best bet are the p35/p45 mobos and are the fastest :up:

thanks for convincing me. i know im getting off topic here but it will change my input into this thread if all goes right, What board should i look at, i was thinking the dfi p45 but theya re only 4 phase power....
Andrew

hard to say which are the best p45 mobos.. this is my first p45 not much experience

i better stop before i kill/destroy smtg

545!!! It IS IMPOSSIBLE !
I have MIIF! I HAVE P45. But i have no money for Q9650 !

Is it under water?

I would stop at 500x8 or 500x9!

you'd probably stop before 2.0v VTT, too. Nice, Napalm!

cadaveca - thanks.. lol 2.0vtt ? yikes.. still got some headroom ~2.0vtt..

WaterFlex - if water i wouldve stated so.. its the very same ifx14/fans cooling.. nothing changed.. just raised vcore and a bit of vtt.. you can see the temps going higher


guys, is there a better cooler available right now than the ifx14? im waiting on the copper true.. but whats the best out there right now

I don't care to pay attention much to air cooling...now, if you can get 545 FSB...you MUST be able to get 525-530 stable...WTF.:shakes:

NapalmV5
Make 500x9 stable! It would be fantastic and great !

Napalm, you have to be the luckiest guy I know, go buy some lottery tickets. Amazing FSB you are getting on a quad, regardless if it is air, water or LN. Just amazing. If I were you I would sell that chip for a couple of grand. I am sure you would get it. Can someone please confirm that they can hit 500FSB with a quad?

Thanks,

+1 and all that on a cheap mobo!


But it would be nice to see some Prime95 of this Quad at least with 4100mhz. Nobody got these stable yet?

Do you care to wait and see what can I do with it? We got the same mobo.

4,1GHz will be no problem with his Q9650 und P45-DQ6 ;)

About 2 hours Prime with my Q9650@4,4GHz.
Really want to kick him but i need this CPU longer :)

Thanks j00ney Prime95 looks good :up:

I dunno what I will get on the X48 chipset. I would buy one of those Giga's but I need the double x16 in Crossfire real bad ;)

Currently the Foxconn ELA board is available and has 16x16 and 8x8x8 crossfire w/ p45 chipset, in the coming weeks we should see the Foxconn P45 Avenger which will be ddr3, and 16x16 and 8x8x8 CF and will be quantum force :D:D:D (I will get this one for sure ;), anyone wanna buy my ram and DFI x38???)
