    At stock settings it passes everything prime95 & intel burntest .Im using bios 1202 which seems to be good because now i can do 1600fsb and no freezes ,all orther bios ver it hard locked up after a bit.The vid is 1.25 ive tried really every thing i just dont know if its the chip or this board that is a bad O/C .Im really gutted that i have spent all that money and cant even hit 4ghz with in safe vcore like everyone else.I decided to go watercooling cpu and fusion block to keep temps low but really i think i wasted alot of money there to as i cant even bump this chip up at safe vcore my goal was 4ghz with this chip but it looks like 3.6ghz is limit (at safe vcore of 1.32 with vdroop and 1.37 idle.

    Ok, from your pics I see you're running Prime95 BLEND test.

    Can you retest leaving memory UNLINKED & running it at 1066Mhz with 1.5v or linked & use a lower memory divider that leaves it running lower than your FSB - Leave P1/P2 at Auto

    Set your CPU to 1333x12 & do the Prime95 Small FTT test to see if it lasts the same or longer

    This is to minimize other possible factors that could be causing the error in Prime


    Edit: Maybe you've got a bad chip or board, but you have rule out all other possible causes for the Prime error

    yes also tried that to at 1800fsb i think this chip will not overclock at all unless i feed it like 1.55 vcore for 4ghz .

    Ok, as a last try

    1) PLL & VTT at AUTO NB 1.48 & vCore 1.475.

    2) PLL Auto, VTT 1.34 vCore 1.481

    you could also try brute force LLC: Enabled, but lower the vCore.

    Thumbs down

    Hi tried 1) PLL & VTT at AUTO NB 1.48 & vCore 1.475.and it did run longer this time passed the first run then failed which it never did before.Option 2 failed straight away.The weird thing is when i ran your option 1 it passed the first run and now when i try again it fails again staright away.All this was done on blend test on small fft it failed straight away.Do u think i should RMA my chip as its a pretty bad performer would intel have it back as it passes on stock settings.Or will i just have to put up with a bumb chip really anoyed that after spending so much money on this chip it cant even do 3.6ghz without raising the vcore above the instel spec for 1.36vcore.Anyways round to send it back would be really helpful.

    There are different combinations that work/don't work for each cpu. For example when I raise PLL to 1.58 I get errors, at 1.56 & 1.60 I don't. If I raise VTT to 1.32 I get errors but at 1.30 & 1.34 I don't.

    I think if you play with GTL & the different voltages you will get a stable OC, but it takes time & patience. You can try with LLC also!!

    The RMA thing for QX CPU's for being a poor overclocker is something to ponder about because they have unlocked multiplier meant for overclocking thus their hefty price & I think they should be admited. On the other hand there are clear lines as to keep the CPU operating under stock condition.

    I definately think poor QX's should be replaced immediately because that's their whole & only purpose, rest of CPU's that don't oc are something completely different. But that's my opinion & I don't know how it works in real life.

    In case you send it in for RMA you should mention something like: you bought a QX9650 instead of Q9650 for some mild oc to be done thru the Asus CPU level up function but pc locks up on the Striker board & on 2 other boards also.

    It's just an idea.

    so we can assume it is the cpu that is the culprit here a bad chip that needs to much vcore to overclock .Oh well i will have to find away to RMA it back now aint gonna be easy as it runs fine at stock and intel only garantees it to run at stock 3ghz at 1.25 max.This might seem harsh but im gonna have to do the extreme on the chip that it does not start again.Meaning not overvolting it or overheating it but something else which i will not mention here.And all i will say is it died dont no why they can check it for what they like there will be no eveidence of overvolting.Thats just how pxxxed of i am being sold a crappy chip at that price i could have built a whole pc for the price of this chip and probally overclocked it to 4ghz no problem.

    I want to remove the heat pipe system on my board and replace it with individual heat sinks and fans. Can anyone please suggest a way of cooling the northbridge, ie what kind of heatsink and fan to use?

    Thank you

    Is there anyway to alter anything for the 3rd core that fails all the time as every orther one works fine when using prime95.Seems to be the weakest link.

    CPU GTL REF0 Ratio = -36mv
    CPU GTL REF1 Ratio = -40mv
    CPU GTL REF2 Ratio = -40mv
    CPU GTL REF3 Ratio = -36mv

    This may be your answer, check the intel section, it has a thread on adjusting the GTL REF.

    Problem Description
    Stable

    Hope that helps, for more help check out the Asus Striker II Extreme thread in the "Intel" thread by BenchZower.

    Hello,

    i wasnt able to get my qx9650 to overclock.
    but now it does 3.5 ghz stable @ 1.325 in bios.

    now i also want to test that settings, but i got OCZ reaperX 1333 low latency.

    i dont think it will be able to take that high mhz.
    what do i change, in that config to make it able to run with my mem.

    thanks
