Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[xguntherc]

i really need to try going over 1.4v on my chip and see what it can do.. even on the 750i. as I've not put it in the EP45 i got yet.

put it put it and try maybe you got surprised

Just ordered Petra'sTech CoolKit Elite - Rev.3
Looks like a good kit.
Can't wait to get it and see what the Q9650 can do then. =)

Cool mate best of the lucks

[TooFastForYa]

So this kit doesn't include a reservoir. What would you guys recommend?

[Jor3lBR]

4545Mhz

Congrats on the 4545Mhz Sergio, you'll see after 6 months of priming the Q9650 your voltages will just get lower and lower

thanks mate lets hope so

hey everyone, i just wanted to let you know that my system passed 8 hours of P95 and 20 passes of IBT and a few 3dmark06 runs successfully



now with my watercooling, where should i go from here?

[andressergio]

Well inspired by my friend Jor3lBR i finally got stability

Q9650@ 4608 (515x9) mems 1229 CL5 PL9 Standard Profile
Hyperpi 4xSPI32 Room Temp 23C



Can't prime this beast as its damn hot cauz its low vid 1,1875 but seems to do very well, i tested vantage and 3DM06 and some games and for last this 4xSPI32, will keep tweaking to see how low i can go on volts.

Cheers all
Sergio

Great job Sergio!!

[andressergio]

Great job Sergio!!

Thank you Tom will keep trying to lower values

Cheers

Well my replacement under warranty came today, a very new chip, pack date 8th June 2009, FPO # L846C013

No stress testing yet, just seeing how low I can take vcore before it refuses to get to desktop - started with 1.3v and below is stock volts in BIOS, 1.216 in CPUZ

Keep in mind... my Q9550 E0 needed 1.4v in bios even to boot at 4GHz. That was a bad buy, should have gone for this chip straight away

[Kai Robinson]

Dammit - i still cant get mine down from about 1.312v stable

looks like you got a good one
strange ive never seen a batch# with a C

[LennyRhys]

Dammit - i still cant get mine down from about 1.312v stable

Pure luck man - I just went into BIOS and left everything pretty much on auto, except vPLL and vFSB

looks like you got a good one
strange ive never seen a batch# with a C

Yeah, finally and I haven't seen a C before either

perhaps my one will start a craze rofl

[Kai Robinson]

What vPLL and vFSB are you running?

[LennyRhys]

Here's what I set in bios

vcore 1.225
vPLL 1.52
vfsb 1.3
vNB 1.3

all other voltages I left on auto. Whether or not this is stable is another matter (I'd err on the side of caution and say it's not )

[Kai Robinson]

Have you tried running Prime95?

Nicee LennyRhys what vid is it ? C batch never seen

Cheers and good luck

[LennyRhys]

VID is 1.225, boots easily at 445x9 with 1.225 in bios. Next stop 1.2 in bios, which may not work

[LennyRhys]

4GHz @ 1.2000 in BIOS, not stable (no surprise there) but I got a photo of sub 1.2v



One goal achieved, next goal is to boot at 4.5GHz

[radaja]

you got that cpu directly from intel?if not where did you get it

[scharnhorst]

Hello guys,

Do you think it is safe (for cpu & motherboard) to run my Q9650 H24 @4.2GHz ?
In the bios :
- vcore : 1.3V (1.29v with cpu-z)
- vfsb : 1.28
- vnb : 1.26

My computer :
Asus P5Q deluxe (bios 1306)
Q9650 (9*467MHz)
2*2048Mb Pi Black 8500 Gskill
Cooling : Ifx14-10
Temperatures: in full mode, below 75°C under linX

Thank you very much for any help

LOL been runing mine for month at vcore 1,4+ / PLL 1,57 / NB 1,5+ / VTT 1,4

no problem mate

Nice this is mine L828A446 vid 1,1875 on low volts does magic till 4300
