did you tried a bit more vcore? 500FSB looks nice for a quad
Guys, I need some help here.
Did some testing with the UD3P and Q9650 (F5a bios)
I set 1.25 in the bios, then went to PC Health (in the bios) and it shows 1.22(LLC Off)
So I fired up Cpu-z and E.T. and low and behold 1.22
Do I believe what I set, or do I believe the pc health-E.T and Cpu-z read?
I've never had a board show different readings in two areas of the bios.

This is running Prime, I'm down to 1.168

WTF is going on with these voltages? such a large droop with so little volts.
I'll edit later on how bad it is at 4.0
Opinions/thoughts appreciated
Edit:Thanks for your input PPInDaHouse
4.0
1.36 bios---1.31 pc health-Cpu-z-E.T.
1.26 Priming

Does this appear to be poor voltage regulation or just a board that needs to be RMA'd?
Believe on what pc health and hw monitor show, its more accurate than what you set in bios
Ugh, maybe I've got a weak board then. So frustrating, guess I"ll call it quits on this board :(
Auto at 445x6 sets vcore to 1.38v according to PC health.Quote:
Ive left nearly everything on auto in the bios (which i read most people were doing) which imressed me but then ive just installed easytune and looking at that its raised some of voltages to scary levels
Too high for my tastes.
I'll start at 1.25 and work my way up manually.
hicookie,
With LLC there's always different opinions on whether or not it's safe to use on a regular/daily basis.
What's your knowledge/thoughts for it's use on a daily basis with 45nm chips?
Thank You
hi all.,just want to ask.,currently i'm using the F4 bios for my m/board.,i want flash to version F5a.,i already download th bios file.,but the bios file not included the flash895 or flashspi.exe files.,my question now is can i flash the bios using flash895 or flashspi.exe file..tq
that's great, use 333MHz strap , i never touch 400MHz strap
for daily using,if you have good HSF ,ex 120 extreme.
vcore: 1.45v,VTT:1.42v,PLL 1.8v, vMCH 1.4v,
vdimm is depended on what ICes of your modules.
save the BIOS file to USB drive , then use Q-FLASH(F8) under BIOS
its more easy for flash BIOS.
Yeah it's way easy to do as HiCookie says .. read the manuel
have the thumb drive in place when u enter bios & have only the new bios on it
I get my replacement board tomorrow looking forward to getting it up & going with the Q9650 then i try with the QX9770 after that .. will report back ...
i will try it later..
Got mine all set up last night, hit the power button... starts to boot, shuts off, comes back on, shuts off... add infinity. Tried everything possible...guess I got a bum board.
Yes. In a case, out of a case, in my Torture Rack.
Tried a E6700 instead of Q9450, three different types of memory, different PSU, three graphics cards, different cpu coolers, reset CMOS, held Insert while adding power and trying to boot. I think I literally did everything and nothing changed from the first time I tried to boot it till the last. It's already on the way back to Newegg.
Been trying all day to get around 500FSB stable on my Q9650. F4 and F5A bios.
Ive set vtt/Mch higher than i would normally dare but it didnt make any difference. Ive also copied Hicookies settings in this post but it still fails super_pi and blend instantly. My ram is OCZ flex 2 9200 so normally handles 500Mhz with ease.

This chip only needed 1.216vcore for small FFT with 445x9 but fails in a few minutes with 500x8 with 1.3vcore.
:confused:
Sweet! Yeah I haven't been overclocking as long as some but I "cut my teeth" on Thunderbird AXIA's (still have that beauty). I just try to read as much as I can and don't post much. ;)
Forgot to add that I tried a PCI-E graphics card in the #2 slot and also tried a ATI 9250 PCI (in the PCI slot...duh!).
Overclocking is TOO easy now, whatever happened to using a rear window defogger kit? We have boards like this one that will literally overclock itself. :) Of course, the elder clockers here will say even that was a breeze compared to the Celeron days.
Got my Q9650 today and ran some benchies on air...... :surf:
