    Have you tried setting CPU GTL to AUTO?

    On my Rampage Formular, I only have 0.63x, 0.65x and 0.67x on CPU GTL. Like your system, I couldn't get my system stable, and getting the exact same BSOD message. Right be for I called it a quit, I just went, "what the heck, it wouldn't hurt anything at all", and set the CPU GTL to AUTO. Voila!

    First off, I'd like to shove a hot poker into the eyes of ya'll that got 4GHz with low voltage. Yes, I'm maliciously envious.

    Anyway, I just got my second Q9550 since the first was so horrible (it had troubles at stock speeds). My second Q9550 seems to be doing much better. But it seems 4GHz is not gonna happen for me.

    I'm at 3.8GHz now and Prime 95 ran for about 10 hours with 1.36 vcore and 1.20 vtt except for CPU3 which failed after 6 hours. Both GTLREFs are at 63%. Should I raise the second GTLREF up to 65%?

    Not the best board for OC'ing a Quad your vdroop is soooo bad I can't imagine you being able to get 4Ghz with that board and this chip unless you run it at about 1.5 and allow for the vdroop to take you to 1.4 or even worse 1.37 give or take.. Your problem is the board not the chip...

    I had been wondering about that and asking around if my P35 board would limit my overclocking with the Q9550. I almost picked up a P45 board, but I got the impression it wouldn't make a difference.

    I have a vdroop of about 0.06 to 0.07. So my 1.36 in the BIOS drops to about 1.30 with occasional dips to 1.29 under Prime95 Small FFTs.

    Is the vdroop on the P45 boards less?

    Nope but Asus And Gigabyte have "Loadline Calibration" option on bios that minimizes vdroop.

    This CPU has piqued my interest...I was thinking about the Q9650, but if these are getting up to 4-4.1 GHz, then I can put the extra $300 to good use elsewhere.

    Good Luck Guys!
    I wish that were the case. I ordered 2 9550's last Friday and got 1-E0 and 1-C1. The C1 blows. In identically configured systems, it's 12-16° hotter than the E0 at load and I can't get it higher than 3.5 due to heat more so than stability. I've lapped and reseated just to be sure - no change in temps.

    That is sweet. Can you share your settings? I have the same chip and motherboard in my office system and I'm coming up a bit short(can't prime past 440FSB).

    Can you tell us the VID values of both 9550's you got? To correctly read the VID values, you can use CoreTemp.

    I have CoreTemp installed on both machines. I'll pull that information when I return to work Monday and post it here.

    Thanks. Those temps are after OCCT and benchies. It gets hotter than that running prime but max is 70~72 which is ok for air w/ 1800rpm fan running at 80%.

    CoreTemp is reading VID for BOTH chips at 1.200v. I would have thought there would be a minor difference.

    Chip specs:
    Stepping C1
    S-spec - SLAWQ
    Batch # - L825B512
    MM# - 897363

    Stepping E0
    S-spec - SLB8V
    Batch # - L827B287
    MM # 899133

    I have both machines identically configured in hardware and OC settings(currently set at 3.6Ghz), both 6 hours prime stable. E0 idles @ 29°C , C1 @ 44°C . That temp difference is consistent at load too.

    Do you mean test the 9550 on the MFII? Sorry, man. My MFII is retired from testing as it is now my home 24/7 rig. If you are wanting some settings and results on that setup(E8500/MFII), I'll do my best to find some system down time and run the benchmarks/tests.

    I ditched my E0 it was so brutal... 1.36VCORE loaded for 3.78GHz after a solid week of tweaking!

    Grabbed a C1 with a 1.1325VID and its running 3.83 on 1.28Vcore after a couple of hours she's already 10x IBT stable

    Damned E0 piece of trash that chip was

    @ IlludiumQ36: Great piece of info - thanks for sharing!

    @ 5010: That C1's VID is outstanding. What's the VID for the E0, do you still remember?

    Here's a quite bad Q9550 .. but it's stable



    Tomorrow my UT P45 arrives. Let's see how it is going to perform

    was 1.25VID

    While this C1 is a bit hotter than the E0 it uses so much less voltage..

    Umm.. even your old chip got higher VID that doesnt make it any tyer than any lower VID ones.

    example:
    1.15VID you clock it so hard that you need 1.35 VCORE so there is a 0.2V increase, And it runs really hot ofc

    1.25VID You clock it and use 1.45 VCORE so there is a 0.2V increase, it runs same temps as 1.15VID one on 1.35 VCORE.

    simple?

    This is why i keep intels specified volt-range pretty ed up. It "limits" higher VID oc's. In my situation i keep 1.4V "max" for standard use 0.15 increase...
