Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[radaja]

viccan,my vid is 1.25 so it runs cooler than the lower vid chips, but i need more vcore.my temps are low also because i use an airconditioner.what are your ambient temps?cause if thier in the 65c-70c area, your cpu temps would be about right i think.im not familiar with your board so i cant really give you too much advice on settings.all my settings(main ones) are in the ss i posted. sorry i couldnt help much

My room temp is about 60' F heres a snap of the big pic..

[Hoss331]

Radaja, your temps do look a little weird and I dont think thats vid related. Do you have the AC pointed directly at your cpu? EOD has your same vid, batch and under water his temps are showing the same as yours but with .1 less volts. Either way good job so far on the 500.

[radaja]

hoss331, read post 934 i state clearly that i use an airconditioner.i have a dryer vent hose that blows very cold air directly into the intake of my computer.

[CryptiK]

whats your vid on this 9650? real temp tells me min= 1.0375 max= 1.1625
Ive currently got it at 1.28 and temps are somewhat high 39 39 40 41
had to over clock my NB to 1.73 just to get stable thus far i really need to get it down anyways any settings you might have would be appreciated i cant get over 4 ghz yet but i know its there just patience ....

Unless your chip is at the limit which is doubtful with such a low VID, sounds like your board is at the limit. Why don't you and remove 2 sticks of ram and see how far you can clock on just 2 x 2GB?

@Radaja - looking good so far. Ud3P is pretty good with quads, 500 FSB & 600 ram should be manageable on reasonable volts.

I saw that, thats way I asked if you had it pointing directly at your cpu.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I agree for you viccan, take 2 sticks of ram out and try some more

[xguntherc]

also viccan, if you get some better cooling like a Tuniq Tower, or the TRUE.. you'll be better off with temps.

My Q9650 at 4.0 and at 4.2 Ghz gives Idle temps around 30-35 depending on room temps, in the mornings it idles around 29c. thats with a TRUE cooler. get a new cooler over that 9700

Temps rae actually low now.. 31 31 30 33
so I cant complain I had to back it down to 3825 was just acting f;aky!!
Ill pull the sticks out tonight to see if that heps...
thanks for the directions

I think I've found my 24/7 speed
Stability tests:




3d stable:



I ran Intelburntest twice in a row and it passed both times, then I immediately ran occt 1hr and it passed. I also ran p95 for a little over an hour with no problems but stopped it because I don't like long stability tests. 3dmark06 and am3 were run twice as well.

Based on all this, it isn't necessary to run p95 for 24 straight hours right? My rig's in my bedroom and I wouldn't be able to sleep with the noise lol.

[xguntherc]

Ya, basically people say that OCCT for 1hr is like 10 hours of Prime95.

if you've passed OCCT, and IBT I think you're fine.. but common, you only have like 80mhz to go.. I KNOW you can get to 4.0 Ghz for your daily runs.

[Celcius]

Thanks, I'll keep pushing

[Hoss331]

For p95 I consider it stable with 8 hours on blend, 24 seems excessive to me.

[Hoss331]

Getting closer to where I want to be, and it doent look like 4.4 will be much of a problem on air.

[radaja]

ok, ive hit a wall here with my9650.i can only get 500x8 with mem 1:1. when i try to get them running 5:6 no go.does any one have a solid,stable template for 500x8 for the 9650?some thing i can build upon.most of the OC's posted with the 9650 are all 8.5x500 or 9x500,just a little to high for me at this stage.i have had some success but also ive been through three installs(corrupt).dont get me wrong im not asking an easy OC,but it would be nice to be able to see some others that are simular to my goals,voltage wise.the one for 500x9 are just to different for what im trying.thanks

[ATLNY]

This is my setting for the E8400 (Stable)

I will be getting the Q9650 soon
I would like to know if I can use the same setting or where to modify

**update... took out 2 stick of ram and got it up to 3.92GHz but not occt stable primed for 2 hours no prob but quacks out after a min on occt?
Vcore 1.29v
NB 1.63v
DRAM 2.26v
SB 1.09v
FSBT 1.39
CPU PLL 1.632

All are auto except vcore need to keep at it but its almost 4ghz? I'll keep trying its bound to happen sooner or later I need a new heat sink anyone got a tuniq for sale, I've got 100% perfect ebay feedback and even baught products from members here but i need 100 posts to shop in the proper forum.. Bummer huh.. oh well thanks for all the help guys

[Celcius]

Getting closer to where I want to be, and it doent look like 4.4 will be much of a problem on air.

Could you post your bios settings?
Also, is that in a closed case at room temperature or are you benching outside in the cold? lol

[viccan]

I need a new heat sink / water kit you guys suck hittin walls at 500*8 thats nutz im stuck @ 3.9GHz its gotta be this zalman 9700 holdin me back Tuniq looks like the way
to go.. Or should I just hold off another couple weeks and go water ? Man choices choices choicews? BUY BUY BUY!! <---( I keep puttin that in my posts to save sony and the economy

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

dont get a tuniq..... they are old and lots of other coolers outperform it. get a Scythe Mugen2 or a Xigmatek 1284....

[Hoss331]

For the 4.275 I used 1.29375vc, 1.56pll, 1.32vvt, 1.32nb, .650 cpu gtls and .665 nb gtl. This is in a closed case (tempest) with room temp at 23c. When its goes through the smaller ffts the temps came up to 60-61c.

[radaja]

heres where im at now,still trying to work my way up there.

[andressergio]

heres where im at now,still trying to work my way up there.

radaja your chip clocks almost like mine...what vid and batch is it ?

my better OC's are:

4004(445x9) on 1,3315 vcore set on bios 1,328 IDLE
4050(450x9) on 1,35 vcore set on bios 1,33 IDLE
4104(455x9) on 1,3625 vcore set on bios 1,358 IDLE
4140(460x9) on 1,3725 vcore set on bios 1,368 IDLE
4185(465x9) on 1,3935 vcore set on bios 1,38 IDLE

All IBT 10 runs max stress on vista 64 sp1, the last one is my limit...

Cheers
Sergio

[radaja]

andressergio,my batch is L826A965 and vid 1.25

[Blackwhite]

Anybody have Q9650 Batch L824B301?
Any good?
