Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[Zucker2k]

It is a feat to boot 500 fsb but unfortunately you can't blend Prime95 in none of those speeds on X48 setup. I bet is hard for you to Prime95 with 4200Mhz. They are unstable they can't handle the load.

But if you can 3D with it and use your day to day softwares thats fine.

What do you mean? Did you see my sig? Note I'm using 8GBs of ram. I've seen no board do that

Yes, that's what I'm saying you cannot Prime95 only Cpuz on the X48

These cpu's wont get stable above 4200Mhz on X48's. It's doable but very hard.

I still don't understand what you're saying; are you saying I can't prime95 500 FSB or that I can't prime95 above 4.2Ghz? I've done all those, and with even 8GBs of ram. I guess be very specific what you think is undoable, and I'd try it.

I use this machine for everything, and I'm usually overclocking so I don't test stability much; here's another quick run... still priming...

I really don't know what your talking about then, you say one thing and then I click on your sig and can't seem to find any settings or screen shots?!

All I see is that you say none of them are stable so far. If stable post settings I have loads of friends with Asus wanting to get there too.

Stable and useful for others in this thread is something like this:

Zucker if you can get 500x9 stable on X48 you are the man!

At 500x9 my setup does not last in Prime95 for long. 490x9 is Prime small fft and blend stable though

I will try, 8GB ram should make it doubly difficult, but I'll try.

@Jor3lBR: Next time, articulate yourself properly, I'm not psychic. Take a cue from kill_a_wat and say exactly what you mean; that attitude will get you no where with me.

What is stable these days? Is it still the 8hour P95?

Sorry for your bad day, I'm not the one to blame

I've read all my posts and they are plain and simple and has more information then needed. This is Q9650 OC thread to share experiences on this cpu OC.
So when you said you're not stable in one post and couple of posts down you say that you are it confuses a lot of people.

I just said if stable please post information to back that up and share results with ss proof and templates jeez...

I posted an example of what people here expect as stable and template model.
