Mines good up to about 500 but not much more than that, if I recall 507 was the highest it went. It had no problem priming 8 hours+ in the high 480s, probably even the 490s, I was still on air at the time so I didnt get a chance to take it there. It definitely doesnt have anything on the P for high FSB.
well yes, I consider that is one of the best motherboards for overclocking quads but Im not a fanboy.Quote:

4GHz passing 1 hour of prime blend, making progress slowly but surely. GTLs are all on auto.
I tried 1.225v and PC would restart after 30mins, so this is 1.2375 vcore, board overvolts very slightly under load.
Temps very cool at 50C :up:

so the gigabyte cheering should continue Quad+UD3P/R=500fsb heaven
I got all my parts for water cooling in today. Got it going finally after I got over being nervous. Had a small drip but was outside the case, think I have that fixed now. Thanks to the guys that gave me suggestions on what to order. And a big THANK YOU to Sergio for taking the time to help me and send step by step pictures of how to build it. :up::up:
Priming at 4.5ghz now, not stable yet but temps are looking better than ever.
Pleased to help you mate :up: enjoy that rig now !!!Quote:

Are you sure your reading the Diode Temp ?Quote:

Read the higher Core 1/2/3/4 Temps from Speedfan or/and use Coretemp/Realtemp.
The reason I say this is all them Zalman CPU coolers are pretty crap and cool no where near as well as plenty others.
You would do better with a Noctua/TR True 120/Tuniq/Titan Fenrir
nice oc, sergio. is that on air?? volts seems to be a little high.
Nice OC Sergio!
I'm using coretemp (did you actually look at my screen cap?)Quote:

With the Q9650 @ 4GHz my load temps are 50C, and you say my cooler is "pretty crap"
:rofl:
Nope its on waterQuote:

this chips does magic from 4300 to 4000 on low volts, after that more voltaje is needed like most quads.
Thanks mate :up:

Thanks Tom :up:Quote:

Tried to boot at 500x9 and I may have corrupted one of my OS files. oh the cost of enthusiasm :D
Ok guys lets chill and get back to topic.
Everybody uses the hardware they want here. The fun of tweaking can be found in any piece of hardware, from the cheap $1 ferrite cores for the psu lines to the most expensive graphic card. Lets not take that fun away just because this or the other board is better for Quads. Sometimes one has to reach the limits of one board to then look for others, same as for cooling, I started with cheap air now I'm already upgrading my Cryo-Z and thinking about LN2.
Back to Q9650 OC:http://i29.tinypic.com/14c6076.jpg
:up:
Nice points Jor3|BR - I thought my 9700 would be too limited to cope with my Q9650 but now I'm setting my sights on 4.2GHz and maybe even 4.3GHz for everyday use seeing that my load temps are so low. I wanted the Maximus II knowing full well the UD3P was an easier board to work with, and I have no regrets since SPi @ 4.4 was very easy...once I had a decent BIOS.
And 5GHz :eek: awesome :up:
Wowwwwww 5GHZ Wowwwww It's Amazing Speed
No Word To Say
Very Good Chip And Alsoo Good Mobo :) :)
Jor3|BR how many times have you corrupted your OS with these crazy FSB/CPU speeds? :D

ONCE ?? 0 corruption here :D :D
