Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[andressergio]

well already post it at the giga ud3p but would like to thank Jor3lBR , Hoss31 and thebluemeanie1 for the great help, i finally did the 4800+ bench i wanted it just needed more vcore



Cheers all

Yes, I am using the correct tjmax of 100C.

Most people here use 95C for tjmax - 100C is the default value in coretemp, but not necessarily the correct value.

[humeyboy]

100C is the official setting for 45nm CPU's (AFAIR its same for both Duals and Quads) but I do know for a fact its 100C for a 45nm Wolfdale Dual Core.

That info was publically disclosed by Intel months/year ago.

All Apps were updated ages ago for this info inc Everest/CoreTemp and RealTemp.

[radaja]

i always use 100c for tjmax.

[LennyRhys]

Yes 100C is the figure released by intel which many people choose to ignore, for whatever reason - perhaps tjmax 95 gives more accurate readings, or perhaps they prefer to use the same value as that of the QX9650. I'm really puzzled by the 77C load temp you get because my chip, presumably lower binned (being a 9550), never reaches 60C with almost 1.4 vcore.

Congrats on that 536x9 andressergio!!! Nice work

thanks mate !

Andressergio Is Very Good Men
That's Great FSB For Quad
What's Ur Cooling In High FSB??
Can U Take Shot Ur Rig And Maybe Be Mistake For Change Mobo To DFI GigaByte Is Best For Quad

Great job andressergio. I think you will make it to long 5Ghz before I do.

High voltages aren't THAT scary.

Oh mate sorry i forgot to thank you that also sent me some templates damn y updated it

thank you !!!!

Good job Sergio, I'm glad you sorted things out

Good job Sergio, I'm glad you sorted things out

Thank you mate it just needed a pump on vcore and some tweaks on ram

cheers

Thank you ViViD

here's the pics posted as i had to re build my loop for some 2 stupid orings that came faulty on the BFG card

You guys really make me want to try water cooling after seeing the pictures. Nice looking rig sergio.

thank you mate and keep in mind that in not using the best rad and also sharing the loop with the VGA, and still have great temps

Wanna show you some shocking pics from what goes with new Batch of q9650 coming out in good old Germany:

4050MHz with only 1,152v



4320MHz with 1,248v



More not tested, because of cooling with air and temps excied 70° above 4450MHz @1,3v.
So long

Thank you Napalm !!! will need to pump some volts to run the other test but this batch is HOT !!!

Well on my way to 4900 i just tested the flavour for a moment but coudln't SPI, for now i just got this



I bought some 2x1GB Crucials Ballistix old batch double sided so i will test with them tomorrow and see how it goes.

100% IBT stable. Reduced voltage to 1.3125v (in BIOS), still stable. Probably can reduce more.. going to try it tomorrow.

VID of 1.2750v.. L84xB stepping.

[humeyboy]

I hold the record for highest VID @ 1.2750v (1 week old CPU).

But I have learned it means nothing on newer 45nm CPU's, does 3GHZ @ 1.03v.

I have not mounted CPU correctly as ran out of good TIM and had use some rubbish stuff that was hard to work with and its applied badly (proper TIM is on route).

Mobo is an Asus Maximus II Formula Rev A2, the heat pipe has so far not being remounted with new/better TIM so although it runs cooler than some older batches it will no doubt be badly TIM'd.

I'm stopping for now at this due to better TIM on heat pipe may let me do more on 1 notch lower volts as 1 notch higher was needed from 470FSB to 475FSB (suspect heat makes it need more).

Ignore VCore etc for now all were set high for testing FSB so I know if it fails its due to FSB not overall MHZ etc.

I have tested it to 3.6GHZ and 4GHZ and will try find lowest voltages possible once new TIM applied.

All cooling fans are are 50% for testing so PC is quiet, bellow is idle but I have Primed/IntelBurnTest'd/MemTest/Vantage stressed it and it passes.

congrats AgentGOD now you finally got a Q9650

So it appears that I got a "bad" quad. If I try to lower the vcore any further down... it will fail IntelBurnTest. And the general conclusion here is that 4 GHz @ >1.28v = mediocre. Is this true?

[humeyboy]

Naa, I seen average of about 1.25v-1.28v for most on here.

The post the other day with 1.15v on air is exceptional.

Increase PLL Voltage and it should let you lower VCore, try 1.55v PLL for safe start.
