No stress testing yet, just seeing how low I can take vcore before it refuses to get to desktop - started with 1.3v and below is stock volts in BIOS, 1.216 in CPUZ :up:

Keep in mind... my Q9550 E0 needed 1.4v in bios even to boot at 4GHz. That was a bad buy, should have gone for this chip straight away :shakes:

VID is 1.225, boots easily at 445x9 with 1.225 in bios. Next stop 1.2 in bios, which may not work :D

4GHz @ 1.2000 in BIOS, not stable (no surprise there) but I got a photo of sub 1.2v :up:

One goal achieved, next goal is to boot at 4.5GHz :D

Hello guys,

Do you think it is safe (for cpu & motherboard) to run my Q9650 H24 @4.2GHz ?
In the bios :
- vcore : 1.3V (1.29v with cpu-z)
- vfsb : 1.28
- vnb : 1.26

My computer :
Asus P5Q deluxe (bios 1306)
Q9650 (9*467MHz)
2*2048Mb Pi Black 8500 Gskill
Cooling : Ifx14-10
Temperatures: in full mode, below 75°C under linX

Thank you very much for any help

VTT is the same as VFSB, right?

Well to be more precise my temperatures (under linpack, so full load) are as follow:

Cpu : cores between 70 and 77°C
Mb : 35°C

My case is a P182 with 7*120mm (scythe Slisptream 1200rpm) and a scythe KamaBay.
Fortunately ambient temperature do not exceed 25/30°C even during summer :yepp:
Thank you again

Got mine down to 1.304v under load for a prime pass (2 hours), temps under 66*c now....i wonder if i can go much lower...

Can't prime this beast as its damn hot cauz its low vid 1,1875 but seems to do very well, i tested vantage and 3DM06 and some games and for last this 4xSPI32, will keep tweaking to see how low i can go on volts.

Cheers all :up:

Who would ever guess, once a unsatisfied Asus costumer that would never dream of passing 4000Mhz stable with his Q9650 now is aiming 4700Mhz with his UD3P :rofl: I want to say " I SAID SO" but I wont. :ROTF:

Well done mate :up:

Well done mate :up:

:rofl: GIGA UD3P forever :clap:

Now i have to figure out how to go down on MCH and VDIMM, but seems that it needs it for that speed of the quad...

I bought it on ebay and the seller got a replacement from his supplier under warranty - could have been an "official" Intel channel.

General remark to all: I'm very happy with 4GHz so there's no need for me to join the :cheer: Gigabyte UD3P :cheer: cheerleading squad.

Mines an A2, but I was under the impression the MF2 were better. :shrug:

Mine and so others didn't pass 475FSB and PWM's where crappy and some got it very good on duals but def not a mobo for high fsb on quads.

Cheers

LennyRhys

Agreed it's not the best mobo for high fsb+quad, but it's still possible and has been done a few times - Grnfinger did 500x9 with his Q9650 four months ago, but it did take a lot of tweaking.

I'm happy with 445 fsb, 4GHz is plenty :p:

All I need is to get it stable on 1.216v, play with some GTLs and skews :D
