QX9650 ES - 5.28Ghz with 1.68v on Dry Ice

[SLi_dog]

Hey all,
Managed to snag some pretty decent scores today with some early dry ice overclocking with an Intel QX9650 ES and an ASUS P5E3 Deluxe.

The ASUS P5E3 Deluxe is a very nice board to use. Rock solid all day at sub zero, only the vcore was holding it back but luckily the CPU went strong with the 1.7vcore provided.


Using:
Intel QX9650 ES




GeIL DDR3 1024MB 1066Mhz CAS6




ASUS P5E3 Deluxe 0601 BIOS




k|ngp|n F1 LN2 pot






Motherboard settings:
FSB Strap: 1333

CPU Voltage: 1.7
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.5
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.2
DRAM Voltage: 1.5
North Bridge Voltage: 1.41
South Bridge Voltage: 1.05
Clock Over-Charging Voltage: AUTO

CPU Line Load Calibration: Enabled
CPU Voltage Reference: AUTO
North Bridge Voltage Reference: AUTO
CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled



















Hoping to move on to the Gigabyte X38 DQ6 next with ~1.9vcore to play with and then on to LN2

wow that is actually really nice overclock considering that your cpu voltage is limited at 1.7v.. im sure that your new Gigabyte X38 DQ6 will yield even better numbers once you'll able to really crank up the voltage.. looking forward on that

[Timbosan]

nice clocks for the vcore (1.672?) it should really perform with 1.9v. if you could get the card over 650 core it would give you a good boost too.

[Bigchrome]

Probably 1.69v actually^


You definately need to put those card clocks up too.... I can top that 05score with 4.5ghz conroe and single 2900XT on air. May also be a driver problem??

[dinos22]

nice CPU

what batch is your chip

[nachthymnen]

Nice chip, this is mine under H2O and ambient temperature @ 16°
The time is bad, no eram and no max mem and ram @ low freq.

W.I.P. Tomorrow first run under 1HP SS

[flopper]

darn 4.7ghz under water.
again.
I never wanted a unlocked cpu as much I want one now

This chip is really expansive but it's really amazing!
Now I'm without an Euro in bank but I'm happy to have buy this cpu

Sorry for my english and for OT

Very nice stuff dog Cant wait for the LN2.

[Pt1t]

nice

You need to mod your p5e3 dlx ...

Edit : If someone have an easier vcore mod than the one of fugger ... i m interrested too

Cheers vince. Next weekend should be good

Thanks Pt1t, the ASUS has gotta to back so no mods. I've got a Gigabyte X38 DQ6 which is up next.

[Oliver]

Looks really good.

Keep pushing it.

Quick update:

Vince, you'll like this pic, LN2 in the F1....finally Gotta say, it's a freakin great pot






Not many results from the day, more LN2 benching this weekend.


Managed a quick PiFast run.

[dinos22]

WTF EEEEEK
full pot of LN2
was the setup actually running with chock a block full pot of LN2
no coldbug?????

how come only 5.1Ghz

Dont quote me on this but i think thats the way Kingpin designed his new pots, fill em up all the way.

[dinos22]

nah man

the F1's are far from it

they are made to handle different loads and to manage pulldowns better so if anything it would probably spend most of its time basically empty if you know where i'm getting at

That was just pulling down but this P5E3 Deluxe and CPU have a very low cold bug. I'm not completely sure what the cold bug is cause my multimeter is a bit dodgy but I reckon it's close to -160C if not lower.

I went to 5.1Ghz as a quick test then swapped out for the X38T-DQ6 but things went a bit weird. I'll have another run this weekend.

Finally James
Lovely pic, sooooooo wish i had F1

Yep empty pots FTW.
James did you transition it or use it with slow swing?

[dinos22]

if this chip can do -160C james you can start hunting for W.R. runs COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Didn't get a chance to do any real testing last weekend. I think that in trying to find the cold bug it may have transitioned though.

I'm hoping so Dino

[dinos22]

missed my old avatar

[Sent1nel]

Looking forward to some more results from this weekend - more pictures!

[BeardyMan]

Empty pot lol, please....

[dinos22]

hopefully that GB board has OVP removed otherwise you're stuck with low vcore

you might want to try the earliest possible bios for P5E board as some had a bug and were able to provide up to 2.4v for CPU EEK

[George_o/c]

OMG ! -160C coldbug ...
As dinos said, you could easily crush a WR ... Imagine the X38 DQ6 "feeding" the cpu with more than 1.9Vcore ... Really nice
Waiting for some more results ...
