Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[andressergio]

SWEET! Nice Sergio

Lucky you it's winter over where you are.....it's summer and hot as hell in where I'm at LOL!

thanks mate

[dejanbinladen]

nice score sergio, i was trying do go 4,5ghz but no luck not even 4,4ghz but 24/7 i use 4ghz @ 1,296 ultra stable prime95 how long do i want but after that its weird, first i thought it was my 780 chipset but i tryed asus p5k its the same... strange... ram goes over 1300 i dont see what is wrong exept processor cant go over 4,2 hmm

also temps are really low :S

thanks mate, UD3P's go higher on quads, i also had the P5K but no go, this UD3P are the perfect quad combo

those temps you see are after runing IBT not LOAD, this quad is 1,1875 so imagine how hot is it and im on water...

Cheers mate

Is it normal that to get over 4Ghz the VTT goes up insanely?

For 445*9 I need 1.34V VTT. For 450 *9 I need 1.38VTT. For 460*9 I need >1.44VTT.

I see ppl here running at 1.34VTT for 4.5 Ghz

Anything to do about that?

[Hoss331]

I would say no, I use 1.28 for 480-490 and 1.30 for 500. What board are you using?

thx for reply i was hoping to get high fsb with 780i but no luck just kidding ...

i think on going to P5Q-E its cheap and very overclockable... i will see
UD boards are pretty expensive and very little there are used on my forums and usenet

UD boards are cheaper then the P5Q-E and overclock better

Nice chip

[NapalmV5]

Thats really not it. Im working with what I have.

I know you are pulling my chain.

Nice work.. I think I might be thinking about doing what you said Napalm. with getting a EP45 or the UD3P. and selling my 260's for the new Single PBC GTX295. and trying that setup instead.. get rid of this NF200 chip I have.

Also I didn't know there was 1.2875 VID Q9650's. That is sad. I was hoping they wouldn't get that high. but looks like it still clocks well...... at 1.7v that is!

edit* Napalm. what is areca1231??

Damn sergio.. being able to push 4.4 Ghz stable with 1200 Mhz on your DDR2 is pretty impressive.

Damn, Damn. The more I read in this thread. the more I want to bag my current 750i Mobo.

So Napalm.. What is the big Difference from the EP45-UD3P, and say the UD3R or UD3RL. and the other question I'd rather know the answer to. Is what is the difference between the EP45-UD3P, and the ER45-Extreme! Does the extreme's NB come ready for Water.. that would be great. it looks like it.

I'm seriously considering this change napalm. as I'm not ready to go to i7 yet.

24/7 i prefer the extreme over ud3p which can withstand higher loads

[andressergio]

24/7 i prefer the extreme over ud3p which can withstand higher loads

hey napalm, exactly what kind of loads ? what is the best of the extreme ? i only know that the extreme needs a vdrop mod

Cheers
Sergio

[NapalmV5]

even without vdrop mod.. none of my ep45s are modded

check post # 1628

video/sound/areca1231/4x ssd - ud3p cant handle that kind of load @ 4.6ghz

on the extreme its pieceacake

its not just cpu loads its about the whole system load

so when it comes to whole system loads heres how i listem..

1 - extreme
2 - dq6
3 - ud3p

[radaja]

are the batches of EP45-extremes being shipped from newegg,using the A3 chipset rev?cause i heard that it still possible to get the A2 rev.

[NapalmV5]

still A2

i think all A3 extreme were sent down under to australia

ask dinos22/eva2000

[radaja]

thanks NapalmV5.thats kind of a bummer.oh well

[xguntherc]

is A2 rev a good thing or a bad thing.

[NapalmV5]

nothing wrong with A2.. A3 is no better

i was hoping for A3 extreme still got A2 but 100 extra q9650 mhz than my first A2 extreme

cant go wrong with A2.. but if you want 4.5ghz be prepared to run ram @ 2.4/2.5v which ive been doing since last year on the gskill pc8800 2x2gb kits.. havent lost any module @ 2.5v yet

[InfinityG35]

I would say no, I use 1.28 for 480-490 and 1.30 for 500. What board are you using?

UD3P rev 1.0 bios F9 with L829A405 VID 1.25

What alternatives do I have to lower VTT? More MCH/Vcore/PLL?

For 4050 this are my settings:

Vcore 1.30 LLC
PLL 1.50
VTT 1.38
MCH 1.30
Mem 2.4B 2.1V @ 1080 5-5-5-18
Everything else @ AUTO

To get 4140 for instance I need VTT of 1.44 and VCore of 1.35.

What high does VTT say? Crap chip or Crap mobo?

[Loco23]

InfinityG35, you have Q9650 or QX9650?

[Loco23]

even without vdrop mod.. none of my ep45s are modded

I use UD3P+Q9650@4.5 for 24/7 without any problem.

- For 4140 I need VTT of 1.44 and VCore of 1.35. Everything else the same.
- Mem can go up to 1120 so 4200 should be a problem.
- Temps are 62C prime, and 70C Intelburntest
- MCH @ 1.40 doesnt help.

[Hoss331]

Try this out. Leaving the cpu and mch references to auto is probably the problem. I put in a little more vcore just to help make sure its not going to be an issue, you can lower it later or just raise the fsb if stable.
