Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[NapalmV5]

5GHz

cpu @ vapoLS
everything else @ air

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=423042



the difference from air to vapoLS on this system is as you guys can see very small.. but its the perfect system for air..

higher clocks demand higher mobo voltages higher vtt and better ram.. till i find the better.. this is it! its been fun

[carepolice]

holy crap

NapalmV5
Holy ****! Please, sell me your chip!

[bigslappy]

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!

Yeah It'a keeper ! gonna throw that CPU on a Rampage Formula board that is all watered up with a Vtek V2 & EK mosfits , s/b & a modded DD MPC n/b & see if i can push it up to Napalm's edge ! then do the same with my other R/F board this week end
if you can keep that X48 chipset cool it will keep stable at high clocks

Hey guys, dunno if this is the right thread or not. Just got my first ever quad, a QX9650 (sweet deal of £300).

No idea if this is any good but I was impressed.



Asus Maximus Rampage X38 - 266 strap
Adata Extreme 1200 running @ 1203MHz

Obviously I doubt it's prime stable yet but who knows. So far runs fine. Think I need to tweak the NB voltages though... I'll fully test it out later today

i finally got my head into gear and played more with the gtl voltages (110,105,85, i finally got to 4ghz. i ran linpak 20 times, prime over and over, 3dmark and played crysis... i still need to do more tweeking to the ram.

4.9GHz @ vapoLS




vs

4.5GHz @ air

Nice going Napalm you make my Qx blush big time but I also bought it to have the higher multi so to not go as high as 500FSB daily... I limited myself at 1.6 Pll and FSB VTT at 1.45 for the 500FSB runs... never tried more as my temps were already over 10°C hotter than with 10 x 450FSB...

Might pick one of these babies if I can sell my E8400...

[NapalmV5]

thank you guys..

my vpll on dq6 = 1.58 @ 4.9ghz on air

no wonder you guys have such low clocks gotta push that vtt harder if you guys want higher clocks.. who comes up with all these myths? pll/vtt/vcore/on and on..

[cadaveca]

Me.

[NapalmV5]

well then you guys have cadaveca to thank for your low ocs lol

[cadaveca]

Maybe, maybe, but who here has killed Core2 cpu?


ME...but maybe it's a bad board, like XBX1 and XBX2 that kill mems...


Intel should thank me if such were true, but I do not think I am the only one to kill Core2.

[NapalmV5]

definitely bad board.. my blackops kills video cards


and you guys gotta adjust the 12v line @ psu for high clocks.. how much? whatever you guys are comfortable with but you gotta push that hard aswell

[NBF]

Me.

Well... You owe me something like a zillion cpu cycles that I could have used

Did I get it right? You overvolt the 12V rail to reach better CPU OC?

[cadaveca]

LoL. As if I have that much effect. I think a zillion would be a bit low, anyway...

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Did I get it right? You overvolt the 12V rail to reach better CPU OC?

yes Napalm, please elaborate as I have never heard of using overvolting source lines for OC

[cadaveca]

You cannot raise a single system voltage, and expect results. All must go up. Voltages must retain ratios within respect of each other, so adjusting base voltage so as to increase the window of that threshold is pretty basic IMHO. Same as GTL...you adjust to maintain the window.

[NapalmV5]

and yet you myth everyone @ 1.45vtt..

[zlojack]

So basically, time to mod our PSU?

[cadaveca]

and yet you myth everyone @ 1.45vtt..

I cannot recall comment specific to VTT, except this:

1.5v should be OK for VTT, but don't go over cpu voltage, IMHO.

So yeah, not I.

i cant word it any better

Well my chip will be here Monday from the egg. What warehouse did your ship from Napalm? I'm hoping for one of those "B" chips..... I haven't seen any 780i's on this thread. I hope it works out!

[nugzo]

Interesting.....Does that mod make or break it? Do you have another Power supply not modded that you've tried during this session?

the one in cali

theres no way around it..

unmodded OP1200 silverstone couldnt even boot 4.5ghz

adjusted OP1000 (which carries high quality rubycon caps ) runs 4.9ghz stable without a sweat

[bigslappy]

just did a 3DMarK06 run @ 4 GHZ = 22666
