Thanks for the tweaks C-N. I am priming @ 3600!

I think I'm stable at 465 fsb and 3958 ghz.I will use these settings 24/7 and I try to up the fsb 480..I hate C1 stepping q9550....

Well, I got the QX yesterday and I got the motherboard today. Just assembled everything, running watercooling on the cpu, OCZ 9200 5-5-5-15 ram and everything runs well at 3GHz and DDR2 800, cpuz says 1,168 and core temp says VID 1,25.

I wouldn't be worried the 2 are reading different things, sure it would be nice to see them both the same but the Core temp vid is a variable value where as the CPU-Z vid or vcore is what you are actually running (or near as 4 my money)

The vcore value set in BIOS is out of whack with reality I think, I haven't measured actual vcore on the UT but my E8500 needs the same CPU-Z voltage on my DK which I have tested so I think I'm right in saying its the UT thats at fault.

Having said that the DK & UT set vcore differently UT sets a straight voltage like 1.25v & DK adds voltage to vid so perhaps if I left vcore auto & added voltage via special add the UT's voltages would run closer together....... will test later.

Good luck & don't keep us guessing

You are very welcome

480~485fsb is doable but I had to bump vdimm up a lot to prevent the system locking up!!!

I also had to change my 4870X2 out for my 3870x2 as the 4870x2 kept crashing the video driver after a few hours of Prime!!!!!... very strange perhaps my new 4870x2 is bad or perhaps there is a small incompatibility here

Now I have been priming for the night, this board is harder to tweak than I thought because im not used to intel. What I discovered so far is that it does not boot at 412 fsb no matter what settings. I have seen a test of an early QX9650 that stopped at 413, so u can see where the problem is. Getting an E8500 or something soon. Anyway, here is a screenshot of things, multi keeps going down to 6 when idling, under priming multi was 11 (364x11=4004GHz). Now in Windows at same settings but at 4.1GHz, one of the cores failed right away Anything I could tweak to get it stable with no increase of vcore?

Have you considered there may be a fsb hole at 412fsb? I would try jumping the fsb up a bit like 420, 425, 430, 435, 440, 445 etc. I personally have not seen anything worthy of calling a fsb hole on the UT but my DK has a funky spot between 400 & 450fsb depending on the divider & a lot of other settings.

Maybe try upping the fsb from within windows using set fsb to see how far the CPU will go.

The multi drops because you have EIST & or C1E enabled in BIOS, its not a bad thing I know XS members that swear by using it but you got to have a nice stable rig in the 1st place.

As for tweaks your C0 stepping Will likely run different than my E0 but I would try bumping the clock amplitude, CPU Skews, GTL's, try setting GTL Buffer strength to weak etc.

P.S You got to love DFI tweaking
