interesting enough, i realized in all this I wasn't completley stable. so i've tweaked my PLL, MCH and Termination voltaves a little and now i'm stable which has me in love with my system all over...

You guy shave done a LOT with this chip since i last checked things out. I've been running at 4.05GHz on a COrsair hydro since I last touched my bios with i think was 2011!.

I decided my last...

Thanks 'Guru, I'll check that out! - my understanding is that VTT should pretty much always stay behind the CPUv -is that right?

Yeap - the RAM sucks, or I suck, and since I'm not willing to face the reality that it is me, it must be the RAM, I just can't squeeze any more performance out of it...on the other hand, I finally...

sweet thanks! I'll give that a shot...I got my thermals way down finally - in the middle of a prime run at only 63C right now...which is much better (new grease, new fan, and needed to turn one of my...

RAM KIT KHX1600C8D3K2/4G
rated up to 1.65v I believe, I tried 1.64 with no luck, next option was 1.67 but I wasn't sure how high I should take it over the rating

Are there any specific settings Imight want to work with (DRam voltage, etc) when I try to make that change I get boot failure fron windows and frequent BIOS lockup before POST completes, it was hard...

That makes perfect sense - sorry I didn't pick it up the first time.
i'll try that out t'night - thank you for taking the time to explain, I gues I just didn't completley understand what you were...

Took sil3nc3's advice and made the necessary adjustments. didn't want to take a chance on lowering my RAM settings just yet - I actually want to get that all the way to 1600MHz at some point.

I'm...

Thanks HOSS, I'll have to check that out tonight - I actually made some other adjustments late last night to MCH, and VTT/Vcore -the result was slightly lower temps and faster Passmark score (by...

I'm still working on tunning things up a bit, but I thought I'd share progress and see if anyone could offer additional ideas that might help stabalize.
The system runs great, but still...

Thanks! so I decided to go ahead and try again - this time I made it a point to back off the memory and only push the CPU.
So far Prime95 table...but definatley appreciate any insight that might...

After reading through many of the posts on this thread I realized that I wasn't just dreaming on getting my Q9650 above 3.6GHz...I previously had it running on an MSI P43-Neo3F, but nothing I did...
