camouflage's first impressions of a godlike QX9650 week 39

[JAG87]

so testing with prime:
4.1 - 1.45v
4.2 - 1.51v
4.3 - 1.57v
This is what I need to be prime stable...

I can however run at 4.4 @ 1.5v and do everything but prime. I can run all my programs and games without a hitch, but on prime, 2 cores fail immediately. I don't know how to interpret the behavior of this chip...

Those voltages are quite high. Is that after vdroop or before?

And also, just my 2c about prime: if its not prime stable, sooner or later you will find an application that bombs your cpu, and when you do, you will have the little devil poking at the back of your head saying "see its not stable muahaha". I have found those applications to be either encoders or rendering applications that load all cores nearly 100%. Games usually have mercy on your cpu.

Nice found here - looks like I picked up a revision 2 chip - most stickers I saw so far have a 1 at that place..............

[m0da]

those numbers sound so nice
how's the rest of your setup? are you gonna have fun with 3dm or spi or both this year?

[camouflage]

32M @ 4.2GHz @ 1.296 volts = not really hard work for this chip :

[Fixxxer]

Nice chip there! Congratz!

[Zeus]

Oh no, no, i don't envy you.

I really don't.

I'm soo pleased with my 4030MHz@1.6V E6600....



32M @ 4.6 possible on air?

[SeLecT]

He has only watercooling, i think

We want see 4,5Gz or 4,6Ghz an no slow 4,2Ghz

Give him voltage

Watercooling setup for CPU & NB + 2x120mm fans blowing to the board - Cellshock DDR3-1800 RAM, ASUS Maximus Extreme board, OCZ GameXtreme 600W PSU, 2x80GB SAMSUNG Spinpoint SATA HHDs RAID 0 and a bit older 7950GT GAINWARD GOLDEN SAPLE vid card:













I already have 32M fun this year.......

[Iceflight]

O0Omphh...........that's a real punch.........

[sonofander]

can u run prime95 at 4.2 at those volts?

[camouflage]

This chip seems to be a keeper - 32M @ 4.41GHz @ 1.376 volts:

One more for the holy nite today :

[oscar3d]

I ENVY YOU!!!

NUFF SAID!!

Tell me please when you want to sell it on Ebay and you have my wallet!

Kudos!

[Zeus]

Cut it out man, that's not funny.

Looks like in the same league as the chip Victor Wang just killed, that one could pull off a screenshot at 5.05GHz on water. (1.7V)

Yep - but for nothin' in hell I'll feed this chip with 1.7..............

[Leeghoofd]

Yeah just cherish it mate, you got a bomb there !!, small question is that 8/10mm tubing ?

8 x 1.5 mm...........

[Zeus]

8 x 1.5 mm...........

8mm ID, 11mm OD. Nice stuff, don't break it.

One more for the holy nite today :

very good!!

and what is your temps (air and liquid ) please??

[camouflage]

:



very good!!

and what is your temps (air and liquid ) please??

I don't use aircooling - on water You can read my temps at the right down corner of my screens (red marked) - add ~5°C, coretemp 0.95.4 reads the temps of the QX a bit too low.

[camouflage]

One step further (20°C room temp):

[Zeus]

Stop teasing us man, that chip is a diamond!!

Could you tell what components your watercooling is build of, your temps are fantastic for a 20ºC ambient.

What temps do you have under load?

You can watch my cooling at post #33 above - the temps are not quite right - coretemp 0.95.4 reads a Tjunction of 100° C but the QX9650 has 105 so You have to add ~5°C, l@@k here:

I'm waitin' so badly for coretemp 0.95.6 - the author told me there'll be an offical version even this year.........

[Ace-a-Rue]

Nice found here - looks like I picked up a revision 2 chip - most stickers I saw so far have a 1 at that place..............

i have the same revision #2 as you but my 3 digit number is 858

it overclocks very good but i do need more voltage.

that is not totally accurate!...you can still have a successful run with P95 and fail in playing games and folding...P95 is NO guarantee that you are TRULY stable!

many failures like, BSOD or a freeze can be caused by memory issues, ie, timing or insufficient voltage.

i can tell you are a Prime 95 fanatic!
