Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

lol same batch/pack date as my 2nd q9650.. may yours be better than mine bigslappy


well i finaly got to os boot the ep45t extreme + 2 x 1GB supertalent 2000ddr3.. wacky/loco combo to say the least



ep45t extreme


ep45 dq6 - 1:1 500mhz ddr2





despite the benches.. dq6 is way more extreme than the "extreme"

ill keep trying at 4.8ghz os boot but if i do get it to boot itll be a miracle.. ill get more ddr3 kits before i give up on the extreme


dq6 (1.94vtt bios max) - if you want the highest/max q9650 clocks

extreme (1.80vtt bios max) - 24/7 @ 4.5ghz maybe big maybe @ ~4.8ghz

the idioticity of things huh ?

So Mate !

Is it worth pulling the Striker down for this board or going back to DDR2 and a DQ6. I can swap the EP45T extreme over for a DQ6 from my wholesaler if required seeing I haven't opened it up yet.

It seems that the EP45T Extreme isn't all that great at clocking the CPU and memory together. Is that what you are finding ?
