Guys I have a Rampage Formula with the Q9650. I have reached 4.1 GHz and wanted to know how to view the NB / SB temperature and voltages. I am running around 71 C load with Xigmatek S1283 CPU cooler according to Real Temp. Is it ok or should be reduced?
Here's mine....also on Maximus Formula II.....

Reaching 4.0 Ghz with 1.232 volts is just crazy.. thats so NOT fair.. whats your VID on that chip. Mine's 1.2500 so I needed that just to run at stock speed. lol. sadness. although I'm running 4.0 Ghz with 1.304v I'm doing ok, but I sure wish I could do what you are. as I'd be at 4.4 Ghz instead. lol.
Nice work there guys!
Thanks xguntherc.....the vid is 1.225v. I'm sure that yours would run stock speed at way less than 1.25v.
Mine will run the stock 3.0Ghz at only 1.00v prime95 loaded !!
Nice clock Bito. Wish i had kept mine now.
@bito that is some amazing volts all around for that overclock!great job
Thanks guys..... What is impressive is that my Corsair 4gb 8500 Dominators are running at only 1.8V.
Vnb is now at 1.16625v. Very pleased with this setup.
Thank you Bito will tryQuote:

Guys sorry but this is the last shout out for the Group Purchase, I will close the group on this weekend and get ready to order on Monday the 22nd.
I remember that after I closed the DFI group purchase several people where caught out of the loop by a day or so. Here's the original message:
Hi guys I'm organizing a Group Purchase for the complete MIPS waterblock kits for these boards (all the series). 4 blocks for US$ 185 + very small shipping fee that will be divided by 5 or 10 ppl (US$ 5 or less).
People who are interested please post here:

GOOD news guys :)
just updated to the beta bios on my P45 T3RS and ban the thing started shootin out clocks like it was its birthday. At one point I thought I killed 2 cores on my CPU but it turned out to be a glitch for the FSB I was at. Once the release version of the beta I am on now comes out its goin to be a MONSTER
8.325 --- 480x9 --- 1.376 VCORE, 1.48 Vtt :)

8C ambient, I think I should raise my voltage lolol my cpu is Idling @ 14C :shocked:
3DM06 23999
I'm looking forwarding to getting home and back with my PC. I'll be running with Ambients around 0C which should give some more room for overclocking! Is anyone prime stable at 4.5GHz?
Well I just got and installed some Corsair Dom's the 2x2GB 1066 MHz kit. as I think my G-skill's were holding me back on my Divider. and today i am going to FINALLY install my PSU. if you all remember a good long while back I ordered the PCP&C 750w Quad so I could push my OC. and I've yet to install the new PSU. I'm doing it today. so all should be good. and shortly after I install it I'll let you all know what my new highest OC is with the new PSU, and the new RAM.
results to come by end of the day hopefully. ;)
So far so good, I just finished installing my 750w PCP&C and all is well so far.
Napalm was right, my old PSU was seriously what was causing my OC's to fail. as right now I'm currently at a lower voltage then I used to use and I'm rock solid.
Currently running Prime95 in Blend mode, with a 5:6 divider, 4.0 Ghz on the CPU with 1.304v and 1.288v on Prime Load.. with Prime full load temps of 45 40 40 41... on air. HELL YA. before with my old PSU I used to fail within minutes at this voltage. and I've not been running for just over 25 minutes without a problem.
He was right, the HX520 just wasn't enough for my Quad at 4.0 Ghz and all my stuff, and my GTX260 all on that 520 wasn't enough. but now it's ALL good. I'm way exited.
I'll clock this baby higher later on tonight.
Interesting stuff. Perhaps my Purepower 680w PSU is also holding me back? I really hope not, cause I can't afford to upgrade it! I'm awaiting further results xguntherc. Let's see the right (or should that be wrong?!) side of 4.5GHz.
xguntherc...what voltage values does the new PSU show using a digital volt meter (if you have one) ?
I need to get one.. I don't know what they are. I can load up Everest and check though..
and I'll get results in the next day or 2.. I've been a little busy lately.
It's good to be home and at my PC instead of my crap laptop! In order to try and push upwards I'm now stable at 480*9. Temps are kind of high (80C load), but ambients are pretty high inside the house thanks to the heating. I also managed to see 500*9 for the first time, but obviously it wasn't prime stable. I think I'm getting close to the limits of Air for this chip as I can't keep pushing the temps up. Perhaps if I move the rig into the garage I can continue to feed it!

I have been busy getting my 2 4870 X2 cards setup and working that I haven't had the time to go and finish oc'ing my cpu. It is nice to see some great oc's here. I currently have my cpu voltage set to 1.3 in the bios for a reading of 1.28 with vdroop control enabled. I was hoping to settle around 4.3-4.5GHz but I don't know if I will make it. I am going to try taking my voltage up to a max of 1.34 and see how that does. I will post the results.

Incredible overclock. A full list of voltages would be great! I'm very, very impressed.
Damn... thats crazy. Nice work man.
you said thanks Napalm. did you get that Q9650 from him? was it one of Napalms?
Nice work Sir. I want a new Motherboard now. but I have no clue what to get... Anyways I've been busy with x-mas, and I got an alarm added to my Truck. (Since it was broken into and ALL of my stuff stolen) not sure if I mentioned that or not. they got cd player, sub, amp, 80GB ipod, Bluetooth headset, my coffee mug. all the goods. BASTARDS!
Anyways I installed a nice 1 mile distance 2 way alarm in my truck and put push pins on all 4 doors, and the hood so if any are open it will sound. and a few other cool things.
I'm not in process of getting a new system and stereo installed. So as soon as I'm done by the end of this week or so I'm planning. I'll make sure I take this Quad as high as I can. I'm almost done with stereo, When I am I'll OC all i can.
Nice work there Jor
Someone has mentioned this in a post before and I guess my eyes are blurring from reading because I can't seem to find the post now. What is the max 24/7 voltage that would be recommened on the vcore for the Q9650? I am wanting to get the best oc that I can get that is capable of running 24/7. Right now I am at 4050MHz with the voltage in the bios at 1.3 and the reading at 1.28.
if you want a ballpark for an average 24/7 max Vcore, I would say its about 1.45v, but it can go much higher or a bit lower depending on the cooling you have. :2cents:
Yep a ballpark figure is what I am looking for. I know it isn't exact but some guidelines are good to have.
WOW, those are some great numbers, i should have my rig back up this weekend and i am shooting for that club....
Freq : 4815.23 MHz (535.03 * 9) on air soo....
Outside air and antifreeze should make the diff........... :surf:
i have finally got around to turning up the volts on one of my psu's, its an ocz 600sxs, the 12 volts were at 11.89 i opened it up and found a screw to turn (or whatever its called) got the volts upto 12.55 now, just a note to everybody make sure the power core is out and the pc it turned off before putting the cover back on the psu, thats the 4th time i've been electricuted in my life, im too shakey to do anymore tonight..herhehe miught try overclocking 2morrow, i really want to bring the volts up on my corsair hx1000, i'll have to see if it can be done easy, i know that the thermaltake 750 dosnt have a screw.

even p35 walks all over x38/x48
- p45+q9650 is the right path.. and frankly the best p45 are the ep45s :toast:
All of what you said above is very true napalm, but I want to know if you have done any "stability" clocking of your q9650. my experience with many manufacturers (gigabyte and asus in particular) is that they claim the frequency crown but their stability is truly terrible. DFI has never failed me in this area though...Quote:

as always: luck of the draw
So question for everyone. I know you guys aren't fans on eVGA Motherboards.. more so the 7 series. but I have a chance tonight to get the eVGA, or XFX 790i SLI, not the FTW, or the ULTRA.. but the 790i SLI for $99.00 and then it has a mail in rebate. so it will end up being like $50 dollars or so, but for now that's $99 dollars for a 790i. thats pretty damn sweet.
So how much better would the 790i SLI be over my current 750i FTW. other than the TRI-SLI that I don't care for. what would I benifit. I'd have to get DDR3 Ram. would it overclock my Q9650 farther than my 750i can? although I've not even found it's limit yet on this board. I still need to do that also. lol.
Just thought I'd ask everyone's opinion there. as thats a GREAT deal for that board. it's still a good board isn't it.
I wouldn't use an nvidia board if they paid me $50....

You do not need DDR3 bandwidth for a C2D CPU, total waste of time and money.
You need to put that POS of a Mobo in the bin and get a Intel P45 IMO (I have had the 680 and 780 POS's).
You have all very good parts apart from you Mobo, its a total waste and shame to fit a 45nm Quad to it, infact they do not even run that well on 780 and ain't supported on 680.
I do not understand why you defend it so much, its a POS and I at least can say I have owned both 6000 and 7(8)00 POS's.
If you got a P45 you would in about 1 weeks time after you get used to the multiple different Bios settings NEVER LOOK BACK and wonder how you can hit 500+FSB (2000QP, yes even on a 45nm Quad) with hardly any voltage increase to various Mobo Components.
TRI SLI is also stupid and a waste of time and money, you can for now game better on 1 faster GPU as SLI/Crossfire is not supported in all games, 2009 will still be about 1 very fast GPU (soon to be released).
I guess it depends on whether or not you get a good board. I had a 680i mobo and it was fantastic with my Q6600. Right I just got my Q9650 up 4.1GHz(9x456) with cpuz and everest showing the vcore at 1.296. The temps are great. Priming all 4 cores the temps don't go above 53C. I am hoping to try to reach at least 4.3GHz for 24/7 operation.
680I apart from EVGA (who gave out free upgrades to newer REV) do not even fully support 65nm Quads and none support 45nm Quads AFAIK (Asus do not).
If your going to buy a ££££/$$$$$ Quad CPU FFS get a decent P45/X48 Mobo not a 680/780 POS. ;)
I have heard that the P45 mobo's are great for the quads. I currently have this asus x48 and have been pleased. I like this board better than the nvidia boards except for the raid controller. I got faster throughput with the nforce raid controller. As far as this cpu, I would recommend a P45 or an asus x48 mobo. The only x38 I had was a dfi board and I had really bad luck with it.
I see why you guys bash Nvidia.. but when I look at it. My CPU is doing just as good as most of yours on my 750i.. except for a small few of you.. napalm, Jor.. and a few others. lol. So whats the big deal here.
I don't by ANY means LOVE Nvidia. I like the GPU's.. and I just got the Mobo I have now as it fit what I wanted, was looking for, and my budget back when I first built this system. and yes I've updated almost everything in this system over the last little while but the Motherboard, to be honest with you. I dont' even like my board. not really. It's served me well, and I've not had any problems at all. and it's keeping my Quad at 4.0 Ghz with 1.304v with NO problems. and was doing pretty good at 4.205 Ghz also might I add. so it worked great for me. but I just never upgraded for that reason. I was only looking into the 790i as it's a good deal for the price. thats all. and I wasn't looking to get a 780i. I was looking at a 790i.. but I didn't get one. I bought a new lens for my DSLR Camera instead. :) and I'm very exited about that actually..screw the 790i. plus after looking up reviews I remember the original 790i had many many problems. I don't want problems.
Ya know, to be honest. I'll probably never go SLI.. yea it would be nice, but the LITTLE.. like what.. maybe 6-8% increase in Performance isn't really worth it. I got this board, and the bigger PSU just in case I ever went SLI. but I probably never will.. not to mention I could always get the new Nvidia Dual card if i really wanted to. but currently the GTX260 is doing everything I could ask for. and don't care to upgrade it until I need to.. and there's just SOOO many 775 boards these days it's hard to decide on what to get. If I got a new Mobo I'd want to get into something for Under $200.
How does the new Nvidia X58 board do.. anyone know? they get back on track with that.. or is it Shyte like the 6/7 series.?
Thats definately NOT TRUE anymore. Almost EVERY game now (current, dont bring up some old 1999-2000 game) has SLi support, whether it scales good to mediocre.Quote:

Also @ xguntherc, its ALOT more then a 6-8% increase. as long as you game at 1680x1050 or higher resolution, and you like lots of AA and AF. my 2 8800GTS in SLi would truck through 1920x1200 with 4xAA in all my games. while 1 8800GTX would suffer.
Its more than 6-8% and if you have the board its definately worth it. You dont need a new PSU either, a 750w will do fine, especially since its a PC P&C, very high quality and high amps on the 12v Rail. all you need to do is buy the card :)
ya I know. I might sell it and get the new card. but I don't NEED it.
but you all know how us computer enthusiasts are. we want it cuz we have to have it.

There is no need for 2 GPU's for now and I can see many threads all over forums with nothing but Dual card setup issues.
Dual GPU's will only be good when they act like a Dual Core CPU.
The GTX295 is another half baked hash job, I certainly can skip it.
You upgrading your GPU to try play a few bad codes jobs and console ports ?
Throwing money/hardware at them is pointless.
@ xguntherc, I knew it would be like talking to a brick wall with your blind faith in Nvidia Chipsets (I have been there too).
Your Rig apart from Mobo is top end, the Mobo is a POS, its not even the Flagship model, the 780 is over it same as the 680 was over the 650 and they all are total crap.
Again AFAIK 45nm Quads are not even supported properly by the 780 so same can be said for the 750 (I owned the 780 and knew this when I bought it) and that's official Asus info.
There is no need for any Nvidia based Mobo unless you want SLI without going to new 1366 Socket, even then I stand by the fact that 2 GPU's is still a waste of time in most cases (I have tried SLI and i will not be trying it again till at least SLI 2).
You have repeatably went from hot to cold on changing your Mobo in this thread but what do you want to hear from me or others ?
You want me to BS you and say your Mobo is great and it will get a really high FSB OC on that 45nm Quad ?
I've never once said I had a great board.. I'm not sure what your talking about.
I have simply stated in the past, and yesterday. that even though everyone trashes on the Nvidia boards. I simply stated that even though you all bash it, I've still managed to hit 4.0 Ghz (not a huge accomplishment either).. but Stable as can be, and enjoyed it. I use the computer daily.. for hours. and with my old Q6700 I sat at 3.66 Ghz with this Board. I didn't say I loved it.. Nor that it was an amazing board. I just said that it's done me well, and worked for what I needed.
I don't have any Blind faith to Nvidia. Maybe with GPU's I do. but I would try any other brand of Mobo without thinking twice. Like I said before. This was what I got when I built my system. It's worked GREAT for me since I got it, and thats why when people trash it. I simply don't say "You are Wrong" Nvidia boards are the best.. I never say anything like that. I've said that it's served me well. and done what I wanted it to.
So no, talking to me about that isn't talking to a brick wall. I was just stating that it's done what it was intended to do for "Me."
I've never went from hot to cold on changing my motherboards. I've asked for others inputs on what a good next board would be. And maybe I've not got one for funds or what not. but I've not been hot and cold. I still want a new Mobo. I just don't know what.
I don't really like my board all that much, but it HAS, served me well!
I had 4GHZ on a Asus 780I and E8500, it ran hot but then it ran hot at stock (NB/SB) lol.
Its all the bugs that come with it be it OC or stock I got rid of it under the DSA fast.
Advise you get a P45, and you can ignore any BS about the fact if you run 2x GPU's it will be 2x8 over its 1x16, I have already touched on fact a few times its PCI-E 2.0.
I do not see why anyone needs 2x GPU's esp if RES is not Much Higher than 1920's with MAX AA+AF.
Ya.. well i see what your saying. but I'm on a quad. it's a little harder to get 4.0 Ghz on a Quad then a E8500 and mine runs cool as hell..
right now I'm at 4.0 Ghz and my idle temps are 31/31/30/30 on my Quad. those are pretty good temps for Air Cooling and a Quad.
So your recommending I get a P45 then huh. I was thinking of getting the UD3.. how is that?
All the peeps are hitting 4GHZ+ on here with Q9650 E0's AFAICS.
They stand a far better chance on other Chipsets than crappy Nvidia 680/780 and even slightly better 790I owners do.
You ain't ever going to get the best out that CPU on your Mobo period m8.
The Gigabyte P45 is said to be the best for OC'ing as its Rev 3 Chipsets, not sure if Asus have these yet but mines is Rev 2 Chipsets (not Mobo Rev).
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DQ6 is good.
Hmmm it seems noone has managed to get these bad boys 4.3Ghz stable on a x48 mobo...
I didn't say Nvidia boards were amazing or anything like that. Just was saying that mine was working good for me, you seem angry for some reason.. and again, I'm not trying to say my board is good. or to cause a argument or anything of that sort. but look at kill a wat above this post. he can't get 4.3 stable on his x48.. and he says it looks like no one can. He's at 4.2 Ghz. and my board does 4.205 Ghz stable.
I'm just saying.. ok. haha.
and yea that EP45-DQ6 sure looks good. but I dont' need 8 USB ports and all that. I might someday soon upgrade my board. but if I do that means I'll need to go to DDR3 huh? most likely. Thats ok to I guess since it's getting pretty cheap these days. I could sell my two 2x2GB kits and get one kit of ddr3.
I might get a new board eventually, but I can't right now. Thanks for your input though.
I'm deff not angry, why would I know I have a stable rig ? :confused:
Simply "POS" is the only term I can use to describe my 680 and 780. :cool:
Also I'm done as I know by reading this entire thread, its like talking to a brick wall trying to help you get the best out your hardware.
I don't care less what others have or get out of it, fact is your CPU is wasted in that Mobo IMO. :)
It is clear that P45 is the best for highest stable overclock. Although not everyone has or wants to buy one for various reasons which is fair enough.Quote:

Good decisions lads, a quad at 4-4.2Ghz is amasing already...it's nice to show off higher for benching, but at some point it can get silly... really would love to see all of them high Ghz claims in daily ops with high end or normal AIR/H2O cooling... I know this is extremesystems, but some users get way to carried away as this forum has evolved to a more general aid forum, the extreme section is another section in this forum... the same problem persists : some highly experienced clockers start a thread and then most users think they can do the same...
And let's look at them P45 mobo's in half a year, I have big doubts for them 500FSB 24/7clocks
@ Humeyboy What are you trying to achieve ? If the guy is happy with his current OC and setup , good for him. My 680I Striker still runs strong with an E8400 (and that board I got for free, from a very frustrated user) the 750FTW isn't a bad board at all... you just need to be more lucky with a Nvidia chipset...and if it runs the lads' Q9650@4ghz be happy for him... MAYBE he can get 4.2 out of it on another board : NOT A BIG DEAL MATE !! as you will hardly notice anything in gaming, folding etc...
And to throw back the ball at you, 4ghz with an E8600 I can do that with an E8200 on a far cheaper board, maybe a bit more volts but it would be as fast as your setup...
@ Leeghoofd, Are you BLIND ? :confused:
If you read this entire thread you would see he has moaned about his Mobo on and off all through it. :rolleyes:
1 minute wanting a new Mobo, next minute his Mobo is now great.
He is obv waiting/wanting someone to tell him his Mobo is great and this would justify his purchase.
I REPEAT, I have been there with loyalty to Nvidia Mobos. and finally someone got me to see the light, after NF4 (great) and NF5( ok) they are sh1t).
If he cannot listen to multiple peeps advise he should not bother moaning about his Mobo. :)
Well mate I lost interest a long time in this thread, early results were promising and maybe like I stated before a bit too much for the common user to replicate. After that nothing but users that could not get them exact results... I only reread the last pages as a friend was also posting results here, but just saw the on and off between you two...
Best thing is to let it rest and to ignore. And don't react so agressively using S words etc... or telling I'm blind lol
I hope someone still will posts some nice clocks here with something else than a CPU-Z screenie, 1mb Pi run or an everest bandwith benchmark...
Hopefully these CPU's will drop drastically in price with the new Phenom II on the block now ( although early results indicate it was again mega overhyped, or all the reviewers just got louzy samples )
Holding my breath for a $300 Q9650. :up:Quote:
