Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[Devious]

And tell us the Batch/FPO

[NapalmV5]

elitist? wow quite the insult.. ive shared everything with you guys.. every step of the way.. mars/blackops/dfi ut p35 and now dq6 results.. some of you only joined the thread from page 6/7/8 but go back for more info.. batch aswell.. ive shared my specs/pic its all there.. should figure out.. im not doing anything new

and if someones wondering about any mobo vmods/cap mods.. the boards still virgin just like the day it got made

im not gonna state my voltage settings cause someone will blow up their rig.. whats the fun in that

patience and perseverance.. no sweat no oc

[cadaveca]

I have but one last thing to say on this:



""

[funkflix]

under prime 95 stock settings
temp are 35,32,32,33 cores# 0,1,2 all show movement but core#3 shows none at all ......
that's all i can do now i gotta go to work ......

Okay, that is not normal.. All my cores move in temperature under load and idle.

Come on, this is XS, we like to blow up something

I agree, you have shared a lot of info!

The only thing missing is to say that you ignored the Vtt myth and you are running Vtt somewhere between 1.7 and 1.8V

Great CPU and great OC BTW

cpuz validation would be nice

[jcool]

E0 CPUs rock. I don't have a Q9650, but I do have two X5450 Xeons
About the same really, only they are S771 instead of 775 and run on a Dual socket mobo
Still testing, but seems they can do around 3900Mhz at 1,17V loaded. Need to do a Vcore pinmod for more..

[NapalmV5]

NBF - thanks

cpuz validation would be nice

would that satisfy you? right..

4.5/4.7/4.8GHz

will get you that 4.9ghz cpuz validated right away sir

^ *sigh* alright.. its not just vtt

vcore
vtt
vpll
vnb
vI/O
vdimm
v12 - no 5ghz without it

all have to be adjusted.. at least thats what i adjust on the dq6

and depending on your cpu/mobo/ram/psu/etc.. gtl and other voltages

what values? well thats the fun @ ocing you guys gotta find that on your own

[Utnorris]

Actually I have been following this thread the entire way since I have a QX9650 and there are no dedicated over clocking threads for them. You end up grabbing info from various threads. What gets me is that when the QX9650 came out they could do 4.5Ghz with little effort on air and so far this chip is challenging me. Since I have a Blitz MB, I have a lot of adjustments that can be done, plus I w/c so temps are not an issue. What I have been trying to figure out is if it is a limitation of the MB, chip or me that has prevented me from getting higher, this is why I wanted to know your voltage settings. If I am no where close to yours, then I know it is me. If I am higher, than I know it is either the chip or the MB. I have thought about getting a new MB with a P45 chipset, but I am not sure if that will be a waste of time. I may just buy one local and try it out and if doesn't give better results then I can just return it. Unfortunetely, I don't have as much time to dedicate to it as I use to, so coughing up the voltages would cut down on the trial and error time I would have to do, . Yes, I know, it's sort of cheating, but how about we take pity on this new dad and show him the light, .

Anyway, you are getting some great results and I look forward to see what your limit ends up being. Until then I will keep trying different settings and maybe a different MB.

Thanks,

Utnorris

Sometimes it takes the perfect match; I think you just found it; especially since you weren't so lucky with the other boards. PLUS, I don't know if anyone has the balls to run vtt at 1.9v+

[Zucker2k]

OT: Gratz for the new baby, Utnorris

[NapalmV5]

Utnorris - oc pity on new dad.. congratz! alright ill work with you..

whats your current voltages including the 12v line @ 4ghz ?

happy?

[Gautam]

Your overclock is stunning Napalm, your attitude is not.

[NapalmV5]

look.. Gautam and everyone reading this.. my attitude is not same towards everyone.. reason why i respond the way i respond to certain individuals.. but your right i should get new brakes current ones weren thin.. got to get ready for the next round of ocing

sorry everyone

[Utnorris]

Thanks all for the "Congratulations". Although, I am not entirely sure what day it is until I check the calendar or something, lack of sleep and all. For being such a bundle of joy he sure is a handful, . But seriously, thank you and NapalmV5, thanks in advance.

Congrats NapalmV5 and thanks for sharing your results.
I agree with you, the fun of ocing is spending hours and hours of tweaking by one's own. Anyway, take care of that P45 you got by you

[Cable_Tie_Guy]

NapalmV5's numbers are perfect achievable on some cold water. What is very strange, is that he claims he is doing it on air.
Anyway, that is one thing we will probably never know I have the right to doubt it if I want to...

Most of the fake posts are from kids with low posts. Napalm has been around here for at least 6 years. While i may have sounded a little skeptical at first, and a lot of others are/were, His results were rather outstanding. This not the first time though we have seen outstanding results here at XS. After seeing his setup, and his results, he obviously knows wtf hes doing. Look at his setup, he's not using on board anything. Areca for drives, pci nic, excellent air cooling and none of his fans are even hooked up to the motherboard. That setup in my opinion could do what he claims its doing. He may not want to share all of his secrets, but nothing says he has to. If it were me, i'd want to show you guys everything. Some people don't. That doesn't make them a fake.

Keep up the good work Napalm! You've encouraged me to pick up 1 or 2 of these 9650s. I know this Striker isnt the best for FSB, but i'll do what i can.

[Zucker2k]

I'm not a skeptic, but I'll have to see another crack at P95 without anomalies to be convinced he's stable. The PLL and VTT are obviously too high, and that could be the problem; or the board may be giving up on him already. It's one of the two. I have to say once again though, that, whatever the case may be, this is a really impressive score. If Napalm hadn't mentioned all air cooling, I would have said he was chilled water cooling both chipsets. Which begs the question: What is your ambient temp. Napalm?

He posted this a few pages back.

btw if you guys are wondering what air? not ac cold air or anything like that.. just a 71 F ambient

Okay, that is not normal.. All my cores move in temperature under load and idle.

all right !!!
i let the CPU idle all day,while i was @ work = about 12 hrs idleing
I now get movement on all cores .
the # 3 core still will not go below 33C but it is now in line with the rest of the cores in temp under load with Prime 95 BLEND
temps now @ stock 3 GHz start of Prime 95
memory @ 800 timing 5-5-5-15 ambiant temp 27.2 all bios settings at auto except the memory timings

core #0 41
core #1 35
core #2 38
core #3 39 this is the one that was stuck yesterday & this morning @ 33 no matter what idle OR load

YEAH ! this one is a keeper NOW ! NOT GONNA RMA this gem NOW !
Just needed some burn in time I guess !!

let the games begin NOW !
look out Napalm !
here I come !
as i type the temps are evening out even more under Prime 95 BLEND now they are all with in 3 degrees of each other
15 minutes into prime now they read 42,39,39,40
& @ another 10 minutes & cores are 43,40,40,40
25 minutes into full load Yahoo!

You got me in the Game now Napalm ! I now see what you're up to ! challenge time ,...... HUH !

[bigslappy]

now @ 4 GHz stable under prime 95 core volts @ 1.28, bus @ 450 FSB 1800 temps @ 42.38.39.39 C ambiant now @ 21.7 C
DAMN ! this Chip is GREAT !

Your loadtemps are better then the one i have, with less Vcore, 22°C water and same watercooler.

Finally you got that thing working properly!
