nice benches, how is the stability of the quad core at those speeds!

thanks.. 4 x memtest instances/3dmarks can run all day long

Just started upgrading my PC again and I'm kinda dissapointed the new single GPU cards don't even give 50% over the 8800GTX I purchased like 2 years ago. What happened to 50-100% increase every 6-12 months lol. At least I now feel I got my moneys worth :) Anything better coming out in the not too distant future?

the new GTX280 due out soon.. should definitely be twice the 8800GTX if im not mistaken

Niche Benchmarks :clap:


excellent results with the EP45 DQ6 :up:

gracias solid snake

I think you just broke Aquamark .... :shakes:

You have too much ownage with that 4.5 Ghz quad.

too much ownage @ 4.5ghz ??

fine!.. ill start a new thread @ 4.8ghz all air :)

Awesome work :up:

I have the IFX-14 too and I was wondering what fan u where using and if u lapped it?

PS I use a 133CFM Scythe Kaze Ultra or a Delta 220CFM :D

thanks :)

no lap.. factory lap.. though i wish for a copper ifx14.. waiting on copper true

2 x YSTech 7.92w

yeh i gotta get a couple of those deltas.. for even more cfm

Thx

Yeah a copper IFX-14 would be awesome :eek:

Also I can't wait to see the performance of the copper TRUE :)

Really?! I didn't know that cpu was that good. 4.5ghz with 1.4v's !~

Nice :up:

How is you're setup when running 4.5ghz on the q9650?? I'm at 4.0ghz now, but am wondering how to set it up. To get to 4.5
Almost everything is on auto so far. The multiplier is 9.0x445 and cpu volt is at 1,3v Is it possible to get a detalied list of the settings needed??

fast.. lol

my volts dont even work on otherss ep45s..

one things for sure.. keep vtt higher than the vcore..

~1.6vtt/~1.5vcore @ bios is all i need to run 4.5ghz stable

^ The VTT thing goes with the Q6600 as well?

I bet it's fast.. :clap:

Isn't 1.5 vcore abit mutch? Won't the cpu fade and become slow kinda fast?
So 1.392 as shown in the first thread might not work then:shrug: It worked just on that ep45

didnt get to try any kenties.. kent vs york are different beasts

1.5 @ full load drops to 1.4

1.5vcore: peanuts for me and my q9650s :)

this q9650 (1.2125vid) has been @ 4.8ghz on air:

for 3 months now @ xtreme voltages.. no degradations whasoever

:clap: I will get my Giga UD3P setup ready soon enough to try to beat you to the 5Ghz but not on air ;)

Thanks for all the pointers mate and keep up these amazing clocks on air. :up:

Wow that's nice.

Should i try 1.5-1.6v vtt and the vcore at 1.4-1.5v anf 500fsb
This is how my system is running now

So if i understand right i need to set the cpu volt up and then the "FSB Voltage adjustment" That's the vtt right? If it is it won't go higher then 1,50V
My bios dosen't have anything called cpu vtt

The awesomeness of the E0! :up:

if thats the bios limit.. 1.5vtt is good up to around 4.4ghz

thanks.. :) and youre welcome and i wish you good luck :toast:

heres the 5ghz i got on the vapols:

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=202987

i never asked/expected anyone to get 5ghz out of their q9650 on air.. at least not on normal air.. but 4.8ghz is more than reachable and im not the only one @

at first i was surprised to get 4.8ghz on air and than even 4.9ghz which is not totally out of reach

good: mobo.. voltage regulation.. cooler.. fans.. will get it there

Very nice job :up:
Q9650 E0 rocks :)

I tried 1.50vtt and up to 1.45vcore on 4.4ghz. vcore droped to 1.39 or so, but i just got blue screen when the os was about to start. :( Abit scared of putting tom mutch volt on the cpu. Should i try 1.5v vcore also just to test it.

1.45vcore should do the trick..

whats your pll ?

mine is still @ the default 1.5vpll

try higher pll.. ~1.7v

if that dont do it.. try lower fsb

if that dont it.. wait a second.. your mobo is an x48.. no wonder

p35/p45 are the best s775 mobos ever made :D

I'm comming at you tooo with outside air and antifreeze..
5hz....:shrug:

pll is on auto, yeah it's an x48. Gonna flash to the newest bios now also. To bad it's not as oc happy as yours. :(

do try 1.6vpll

its not your q9650 its the damn x48 thats holding it back

since you run single 4870x2 get a p45 mobo and youll get more out of your q9650

since you got it on ddr3.. heres a p45 ddr3 suggestion:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813136061

if the giga ddr3 ep45t extreme would still be availble id recommend that to you

"its not your q9650 its the damn x48 thats holding it back" , Damnit ;) I've used so mutch time on the water cooling install i dont think i'm going to change the mobo.
I'll just have to leave it at 4. something then..

try 475-480fsb for at least an 4.3ghz oc

believe it or not i wasnt able to get this q9650 stable @ 4050 450x9 no matter the volts/settings on x48 dfi/foxconn mobos

Sure? What were that X48 settings, remember for me plz?

Good scores, keep pushing seriously, have u a dice pot?

Huh?? I went as low as 465fsb but it didn't start. pll 1.6v, vcore 1.440v and vtt 1.50v. It got to the part after the loading screen where the mouse pointer and picture should come. But it was just all black.
I get 22k's on 3dmark 06 in vista 64 so it's not all bad. or im in th 21900's. The 4870 wount clock mutch eighter. Bet it's the mobo there as well.. To bad.. Thank's for the help so far

Im running all volts on auto. 445x9 and the vcore is at 1.3v Temp is at 26-27now

"if the giga ddr3 ep45t extreme would still be availble id recommend that to you" What's the whole name of te giga mobo?? Might have it here still. Gigabyte GA-EP45T-Extreme.? I can get it over here no problem.

sure? lol im the one that was busting my arse to get it to oc @ blackops

higher temps @ default and oc

much higher volts just to boot @ same p45 clocks

settings? the same shalongs.. just higher volts.. + ive tried different gtl settings and whatnot

x48+qx9650
p45+q9650


thanks.. no no dice pot

yeh thats the one if you want to stick to ddr3..

if youre ok with ddr2.. and if you want the most extreme p45 mobo.. one and only: ep45 dq6

i got all three.. ep45t extreme/ep45 extreme but the extreme ep45 is dq6 :up:

and yes.. higher video clocks @ p45 than x48 :up:

your welcome

I´m not sure how well it play with your 4x1gb kit but the board is good. 500x9 >> vtt 1.30v-1.32v. Be warn though if you using S3 mode a lot stay away from gigabyte p45 board.

Well, X48 Blackops, not easy to handle, i know. But don't forget Blackops will be fine with QX+Extreme Business. Pushed a QX9770 regular water/4800 MHz, 4400-4500 MHz 3D Benchable.

its not about how easy/hard the mobo is to handle..

come on man lets be serious less than 300fsb ??

comparing qx vs q is like apple vs orange

well i can 3d bench my q9650 @ 4.8ghz all day/night on 70 F ambient air:

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=206237

Nice stuff napalm, I'll be gunnin' for you're clock record as well on my new p45 T3RS, already reached 500.54fsb with 1.45vcore/1.55 vtt! sitting in 9th over on HW bot but I still have a lot to learn about this board so it will probably be a week or so before I push it all the way :)

thanks.. alright! nice congratz on your 4.5ghz sniipe :toast: at last

good luck! :up:

Not comparing apple vs orange. I just want to tell you it handles 45nm QXs/Qs/Duos prety good, but currently haven't any 45nm Q SS. If u have a good chip, all new chipsets (not just Intel) could handle it well.

Hehehehehehe YEs! Lets do it! :D:D:D

You will join us to get the UD3P blocks?

nice benchies on air napalm.

interesting about the vtts and vcore. I totally agree with you. After fiddling with my q9650 i found that the Vtt is key. Also it has been quite a struggle oc'ing these q9650s with my ASUS P5E3 Premium Wifi@n x48 lol....

These q9650 sure dont mind 1.48+ Vtts!

Most I managed was 490 FSB into Windows with 1:1 FSB:Ram ratio although volts/temp are not easy to swallow :p

From my observations so far I think 4.2 would be good for 24/7 use matched with some good mems/latencies.

I have not yet seen someone with 1800Mhz ram and 4.2+ Ghz Prime Blend 8 hours stable so if anyone has any pics plz share :).
