Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[xguntherc]

Reaching 4.0 Ghz with 1.232 volts is just crazy.. thats so NOT fair.. whats your VID on that chip. Mine's 1.2500 so I needed that just to run at stock speed. lol. sadness. although I'm running 4.0 Ghz with 1.304v I'm doing ok, but I sure wish I could do what you are. as I'd be at 4.4 Ghz instead. lol.

Nice work there guys!

Thanks xguntherc.....the vid is 1.225v. I'm sure that yours would run stock speed at way less than 1.25v.
Mine will run the stock 3.0Ghz at only 1.00v prime95 loaded !!

Nice clock Bito. Wish i had kept mine now.

[radaja]

@bito that is some amazing volts all around for that overclock!great job

[bito]

Thanks guys..... What is impressive is that my Corsair 4gb 8500 Dominators are running at only 1.8V.
Vnb is now at 1.16625v. Very pleased with this setup.

Excellent work there angelreaper !

Sure...the settings in bios as follows:
CPU PLL: 1.5v
VFSB: 1.153v
VNB: 1.153v
CPU GTL's : +10/-40/+10/-40
NB GTL: +20mV

Will try to lower further if possible, although i am very happy with this.

Thank you Bito will try

Cheers mate

Thanks @ Bito for sharing his set up it helps me a lot :




My Settings : The board is a M2F
CPU pll : 1.50
VFSB : 1.17950
VNB : 1.16625
GTL 0 = +10
GTL 1 = -40
GTL 2 = +10
GTL 3 = -40
NB GTL : -10

asus rampage extreme x48 is this a good board for q9650

I got a DFI X48 maxes out at 486fsbx9 with these Q9650.

X48 chipsets are tuff to sustain Quads at high fsb's.

[Nunzi]

Thanks for the info

Whats your ram running at?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I've just ordered the DFI-UT-P45 T3RS to play with the q9650 on, I will have some results for you all by early next week

and if its bad newegg gets another open box board to sell

[Jor3lBR]

Thanks for the info

Ram stats are here:

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

what voltage is that at? man, those are some killer benches

[Jor3lBR]

They are a little below stock recommended voltages by G.Skill: 2.05v. But NB is above 1.6vnb I believe still cool at 28oC. These Rams are very nice and they play very well on PL6.

Problem is I want more and DFI can't give me
