Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[xguntherc]

Nice work here guys.. and what do you mean use MSN.. this is a thread for talking about the Q9650, and thats exactly what everyone is doing here. lol. . are you kidding.

Sergio. Good Luck on your Chip. Well done on getting a Great chip for your computer. you will NOT be unsatisfied. You will absolutely love this chip. they rock. I've seen 1.1100 VID's and high bad ones like mine at 1.2500 VID's. and A and B chips, they all do 4.2 Ghz or so with a half decent Mobo. They rock. I could not get over 3.8 ghz stable on my Q6700, but this Q9650 just shreds everything.

Enjoy your excellent investment. (Well not really investment with computer tech.) but enjoy your good purchase. I know I am.

Nice clocks everyone. I just got a new PSU, the PCP&C 750w Quad. I've said this a thread back. but I've yet to install this. usually I get new parts and everything gets dropped and I throw it in my system ASAP. but I've just been soo busy with family, work, and my new Nikon D40 DSLR that I have not had time. I also just got a TRUE cooler that I've not installed yet either. lol. As soon as I add both of these items. I'll do some HARD pushing instead of this simple and weak 4.2 ghz stuff.. See how far my 750i can really go. It's done better than most have told me it will already. So we'll see.

Thanks!

Ive currently got a Maximus Formula motherboard (X38) and Im wondering if i should sell my QX9650 for the Q9650 or Q9550.

Now I've currently hit a FSB wall of 425 with my QX on the X38 board. Would the Q9650 with its E0 stepping hit the same wall on my board? And what of the Q9550?

Just wondering if anyones migrated from a QX and found that they have improved their FSBs

Thanks
