Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[andressergio]

Late to the game here
Just pick'd up a Q9650 FPO L828A446

4.2GHz was a walk in the park, but my concern is the temps.
3 cores are nice and cool 29c-31c but the 1 core is a staggering 40c, this is water cooled and yes I have checked the mount and reseated twice.
Anyone else have this issue or am I the lucky winner today?
I'm in no hurry to lap the the chip for I might sell it if I cant do 500x9

Hey Grn i have the same batch , my mate Jor3lBR get it for me and also the UD3P great combo !!! still on my way to my country, such a low vid it's hotter than my other 1,25vid, but in the end he told me that the domino was not doing good contact so will see how it goes on my D-TEK block, also some sensors where stuck at first start all stock but after some burn in days they start moving

Here are some tests he did...

The Chip


Firsts stabilty tests on XP64 SP2


IBT and OCCT tests on XP64 SP2


Some 10h Blend tests with some more VCore on Windows7


And the most awaited one needs more work but a very nice start
