QX9650 RETAIL first look...

[Ace-a-Rue]

This is QX9650 Retail L639A644

with stock 8800GT

be careful with that 1.99 vcore...i hope that is not a 24/7 setting???...victor wang used less and his "sweet" 9650 is no longer working.

[Gautam]

Course it is, don't we all run our QX9650's at 5500MHz+ 24/7?

[Ace-a-Rue]

until you see victor weeping then you truly don't understand!

This is QX9650 Retail L639A644

with stock 8800GT

742fps nature with a stock 8800GT?

How stock is "stock" in your book? stockcooler? stockvoltage? I don't believe that is at 8800GT stockspeeds.

Great score non the less!

[massman]

Stockcooling afaik

look at the MHZ...5500+ mhz is going to give a great score.

[Brandybuck]

Sorry , I forget to write vga clock speed This is Asus 8800GT Top edition and coming directly 700mhz gpu speed. I use 730mhz gpu

Cpu vcore is too much yes I don't use dailiy QX9650 , only for benchmark

CPU speed does nothing for nature, that's just raw GPU power.

[Brandybuck]

Also this is 96.5k single 8800Ultra LN2 900mhz gpu speed.

Same cpu air cooling 1.45v with Abit quad GT 480fsb quad core

[luihed]

Sorry for the OT.... As for the 1.99v, its hard to put a number which can be considered "safe" for this cpu, I think that safe number is up to the person and how much he's willing to gamble... I dont want to put that much voltage on mine yet but Im sure I will later on, but I wont put more than 2v....

Victor's awesome cpu died at ~1.65v i think and thats way too low a voltage to blame the vcore as the reason for its death even on water...

Nice cpu brandy.... what is the max fsb on ln2? Also what size mems on the GT, does it affect the score if 256, 512 or 1024? thanks

I didn't try max fsb with LN2 Normally , I don't care max fsb but yesterday , Abit TR send us ABIT X38 and CPU multi not change up to 9X Maybe ı will try Vapochill with Abit x38 for max fsb.

Back at posting, Brandy? Can't wait for you to start firing up the big guns

[fethi_dogan88]

4800+ mhz with air cooling amazing thats 45 nm's advantage

[hipro5]

We (my team H.O.T.) have tested about 9 x QX9650 RETAILs.....7 of them are L740 and 2 of them are L739.....

Well.....the L740s SUCK BIG TIME.....

ONLY ONE of them (L740) did ~5508MHz 3D......ALL the others where not that good.....L739 are more "decent".....

I captured some of them.....

[eva2000]

woah 9x QX9650!

Were L740x poor for air/water too ?

[sacha35]

Thanks for the heads up hipro, this is some good info mate and will help most get the most from there setups, but how many CPU's looks like you had some fun there mate.

[hipro5]

woah 9x QX9650!

air?....water?.....who has the time for that?.....

ONLY with LN2/Cascade.....

Thanks for the heads up hipro, this is some good info mate and will help most get the most from there setups, but how many CPU's looks like you had some fun there mate.

Thanks M8.....

The "hunting" of a "good CPU" is STILL ON......We have got another 2 x L740 to test...

[AndreYang]

you know 9 is not enough.

[hipro5]

you know 9 is not enough.

Yes I know......BUT we keep trying......

[Danjo]

Sry, i wrote it yet in another thread but the gurus are here so:

"Someone know how good L739A769 is??"

[dinos22]

that sucks dude

[ncc-1709]

anyone checked the L41's yet? or can we just expect them to be even worse?

[jpcastro]

i´m thinking in buying one retail, so L40xxxx are not so good as L39xxxx?

[VoRtAn_MaDgE]

Well.....the L740s SUCK BIG TIME.....

Grabbed a Q6600 to test on my modded mach2 on new dfi p35...don't wanna fsb limitation

L740B258... last three magic numbers ...003

What do you think Hipro?

SLACR - G0 ... let's see waiting for new mobo!

Well if sucks i bring another one lol

Did you already try that beast on a multi-gpu system ?

[Norway]

Bought a QX9650 on Ebay () for 865$
My first Extreme edition CPU, just hope my water cooling can cool this little devil enough

They cost about 1300-1400$ (USD) in Norway

Am I aiming to high if I want 4.6Ghz 24/7 ?
Is 1.6v to high for one year of use (hope not :P)
