The 9x multi is worth $50 by itself to me.

Hey Guys

After lots of testings i achieved this on my Q9650 L825B513 vid 1,25

I tested the Gskills 4,5 hours on memtest and passed perfect with no errors at 2,15vdimm PL7 Stronger on 1240Mhz

This quad needs that vcore to be stable, so far i'm happy

@Sergio

Yay mate your nearly there! You will achieve your goal

Don't wory about volts those are still low and these chips are stronger then we think!

Thank you Jor My goal was 4230 but i think i will need to pump more and i'll be on 1,4 vcore and more vtt for sure

Cheers

Nice Sergio. Your vcore looks about right for your 1.25VID chip (I have a 1.25 also). I need about 1.38 for 4.2Ghz and around 1.4-1.41 for 4.4Ghz so I'd say your on the right track.

I think these chips can withstand <1.45 24/7 just need to keep an eye on their running/load temps. But definetly H20 on CPU if using 1.4v+ 24/7

Thanks mate

All my tests are on 26C to 27C ambient in my room and outside more than 30C, I'm on water sharing the loop with an ultra vmoded, but i got great temps, the 3 san aces at the rad are awesome. Also i have a fan blowing air on the NB and the Gskills.

Can you tell me your settings for 4200 on vcore set, pll, vtt ? so i try I've been waiting for this for more than a month as i had horrible unstabilty issues till with all the help from ppl here i found it, i just needed a good combo of a rock solid setting to start with.

Cheers

No problems mate:

My settings for 4.2Ghz on the key volts you mentioned are below:

1) vCore - 1.382 (real via CPUZ)
2) CPU PLL - 1.61 (real via Everest)
3) CPU VTT - 1.38 with 70mV GTL references for cores 2 & 4 in BIOS

Hope that helps.

All in all you are on par with your current volt settings. The above volts were set quite a while ago (around Nov 08) so I was a little new to the Q9650 back then.

I think you can lower CPU PLL and VTT a little more as I passed 1 hr prime blend using 1.34vtt with 4.4ghz...overall the above are relatively safe and I don't have a problem using them 24/7
