500 fsb on a quad core... very goodOriginally Posted by Leeghoofd
Well the voltages you need to pump to get any high FSB at any multi is scary mate... We talked about Scan's Great White... I reread the review and it is clearly stated that it got scorching hot.. same here when I ran my Qx at 500FSB for a test, temps were about 10°C higher than the same clockspeed with a higher multi...
Eg I need 1.25Vcore for 4ghz ops on this Qx with 400FSB and 10 multi, with 8 multi and 500FSB I needed 0.12 more for the same, more PLL and FSB volts... which overal resulted in a faster rig but so darm hot too... so it would be better to go here wit 9 multi and 450-475ish FSB max... 9 multi (or lower) and 500FSB is insane for daily ops... not alone for ya CPU but also for ya mobo...
is this on water?
This is definitely pushing it.
Lets say I relax my voltages and run at 480 max, not pushing towards 500.
480 x 8.5 = still makes 4080.
My question is.... can the E0s overclock above 4.1 on air? (Vcore around 1.35) how about on water?
I am trying to figure out if there is an absolute need for the x9 multi to decide between q9550 and q9650.
Another question
since you are not using a really high fsb now,
would you recommend a rampage formula or a dfi lt x48 instead of the P5Q Deluxe?
