Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[Leeghoofd]

Be aware that 1.40 fsb kills 45 CPUs anyways so watch out with that mate

Think that myth is already busted I too play it on the safe side but many many users are running their quads 24/7 way out of voltage spec and yet I have to find one that killed his CPU... all depends more on the mobo/user then solely on the CPU...

Yeah i run my Q9550 1.4V 24/7 easily. There is only 0.15 increase from default voltage so its OK for everything. Voltage range for crocodiles!

Well guys this are my first contribution on this old mobo (as leeghoofd always says ), not a big result but good for me

My special thanks for

Jorl3BR, Leghoofd, Cryptik, WizardOfOz, Flinch, NapalmV5

And for all the ppl who kindly answer the questions always

You're free to advice me on other settings as this is my first encounter with a 45nm...

Temps are read correctly by everest, i have 2 sensors stucked at 39C but on load they do fine

AndreSerio,

Very nice Sergio!

Remember that's only the beginning! This chip has a lot of headroom for the future before jumping in a expensive new platform.

Good Job

Thank you mate I will test but not try too much volts...cauz i'm testing slowly as i don't have intermediate values, for ex on vtt i just have from 1,1 / 1,2 /1,3 /1,4...so i think that a little more vcore to balance...NB seems not to help too much, the GTL's yes...

The Clock Overcharging values i never tested they're on auto and also the skews i don't know how to use them...

Cheers
Sergio

On My DFI CPU voltage is always lower then VTT for stability on this Q9650. So if I use 1.32vcore the Vtt would be somewhere between 1.45-1.50. That is the opposite effect I had with my Q6600.

Dunno how it's playing with other boards but if I leave VTT = Vcore or lower I get Prime95 fail.
