Ur Benching Is Too Fast And Great Work I Hope Be Happy Like This In Real Life :)
I Changed My Q9550 With Better Batch I See Simillar Bath Number Like My New CPU 4.4 Stable In 1.42 :) I Wish It Work For Me

thanks ViViD !!! we will not make it rest lol

Congrats and good luck to you :up:

thanks :toast:

great vid @ c q9650

how does it compare to b q9650 ?

same temp ? hotter/cooler ?

Windows XP32 SP3 - NVIDIA beta 190.38

Q9650 @ 4608 - GTX285 771/1800/3024

Unigine Sanctuary v2.2 defaults fullscreen

lower your shaders/mem.. look at my 2gb 285.. 200 less mem clocks.. almost 200 less shaders clocks.. but at 770 core im just 1 fps behind you

first lower shaders @ 1764/1728 and if it doesnt allow higher core than lower mem clocks @ 1447/1404

you should be able to match my 220.0 fps

:toast:

Runs a bit warmer than my other chip but so far oc's better on less vcore. For 4.25ghz I needed 1.328v on my old chip, this needs 1.280v for the same clocks. Hope to reach 4.5ghz stable.

thank you napalm :up: did you like the new drivers ? seems a big bump on unigine, im testing games...
Cheers Sergio

Ran Sanctuary 1920x1080 8Xaa 16Xaf. Had to back my core clocks down to not artifact. Hard test to run at hi res/hi settings.

Ran Sanctuary default full screen with my stable 24/7 clocks:

CPU: 4.2GHz
GPU: 817/950

I'm gonna try and push the clocks some more later. :yepp:

Nice score!! :up:

I like this program. It seems to be a better bench for gfx than 3dmark. Increasing CPU speed doesn't effect the score much at all.

@ViViD,
I hope you show us your oc results.

P.S. I like your president:up:

This C batch seems to be pretty good so far. Sensors are off a bit but that's nothing new. Will keep trying for 4.5ghz stable.

Thanks. Yeah me too. :D

@OC Nub,
how much voltage do you set on the nb?

I am using 1.44v MCH/NB. Started at 1.46v but trying to get it lower. The 250a/4:5 divider has been a real PITA to get stable.

Thank you for the info.:)
My goal is a fsb of 500 Mhz by using the 333/800 strap (=4:5 divider) to get my G.Skills at least on default (=600 MHz=DDR 1,200 MHz).
Before this DFI I had a ASUS board with a X48 chipset. A X 48 isn´t really made for quads. For a fsb of >460 MHz using a quad you had to fire more than 1.5v to the nb:shocked:. That´s to much English for a 24/7 setting.
The P45 chipset doesn´t need so much vnb.
However about 1.45v should be right. I will try in the next days.

Nice chip OC Nub, especially coming out of these newer batches. :up:

Thanks Hoss. Was shocked when I saw the vid.

Yeah OC Nub the chip is very nice, much better than my C chip. :yepp: What have been your highest load temps so far, and is this air cooled or H20?

With my silent red wing fans push/pull, max temp has been 69C at 1.368v. :up:

@OC Nub,
you told us in you last post that you set ~1.44v to the nb to get a fsb of 480 MHz stable.
How hot gets your nb under load?
Do you cool the nb by air or H²0?

This board doesn't have a sensor for the NB. I use a 120mm fan to help cool it. only reason it needs 1.44v MCH because of the 4:5 divider, at 1:1 it takes 1.36v MCH for 500fsb.

Theres a program called MCHTemp that will show you nb temp once it gets about 50c and above. Its in russian and it doesnt have signed drivers so you have to F8 boot to use it. It looks like this,

I am using an infrared thermometer (TFA Scan Temp 380) for places where I don´t have a sensor.

Thanks Lenny, Highest I have seen at these clocks after 8hrs prime was 64c on 2 cores. My sensors are bugged on 2 cores so IDK how acurate they really are. It is on water cooling. This is my third 8 hour run at this oc, I had changed a couple settings last night and it became unstable so I tested again.

Hoss: Thanks, I will try that MCH program.

These C Q9650s seem to be good chips, some extremely nice with low VIDs, but not for air cooling if ya know what I mean ;)

5010 just got himself a "golden" L847C - it has 1.15 VID, does 4GHz stable on 1.17 and 4.125ghz on 1.19v :eek:

Need one :eek:

Working on this now, think it will probably need another bump in vcore but finally 6 months and 3 q9650's later I am close to my goal of 4.5ghz. :rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker::rocker:

What RAM are you guys all using with this processor?
