Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[scharnhorst]

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

no problem mate

Cheers
Sergio

Great thank you for your comment

[Kai Robinson]

VTT is the same as VFSB, right?

[andressergio]

yes mate

[andressergio]

Great thank you for your comment

glad to help keep in mind that also all depends on your temps, im in winter here and run an antec spot cooler over NB and Gskills, and im on water.

Cheers mate

Well to be more precise my temperatures (under linpack, so full load) are as follow:

Cpu : cores between 70 and 77°C
Mb : 35°C

My case is a P182 with 7*120mm (scythe Slisptream 1200rpm) and a scythe KamaBay.
Fortunately ambient temperature do not exceed 25/30°C even during summer
Thank you again

[Kai Robinson]

Aahh good, i wasnt sure about that

Got mine down to 1.304v under load for a prime pass (2 hours), temps under 66*c now....i wonder if i can go much lower...

[Jor3lBR]

Well inspired by my friend Jor3lBR i finally got stability

Q9650@ 4608 (515x9) mems 1229 CL5 PL9 Standard Profile
[
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

Who would ever guess, once a unsatisfied Asus costumer that would never dream of passing 4000Mhz stable with his Q9650 now is aiming 4700Mhz with his UD3P I want to say " I SAID SO" but I wont.

Well done mate

Well done mate

GIGA UD3P forever

Now i have to figure out how to go down on MCH and VDIMM, but seems that it needs it for that speed of the quad...

Cheers

[LennyRhys]

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

I bought it on ebay and the seller got a replacement from his supplier under warranty - could have been an "official" Intel channel.

General remark to all: I'm very happy with 4GHz so there's no need for me to join the Gigabyte UD3P cheerleading squad.

LMAO... glad that you finally made it after all

[andressergio]

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

surprise us doing that on the MFII plz cheerleading squad is waiting for that lol

cheers

I wouldnt figure it would be THAT hard, my P5Q Dlx would do it.

yeah some P5Q are rev A3 and mostly they run better than the MF2

Cheers
Sergio

[Hoss331]

Mines an A2, but I was under the impression the MF2 were better.

Mine and so others didn't pass 475FSB and PWM's where crappy and some got it very good on duals but def not a mobo for high fsb on quads.

Cheers
Sergio

[LennyRhys]

Agreed it's not the best mobo for high fsb+quad, but it's still possible and has been done a few times - Grnfinger did 500x9 with his Q9650 four months ago, but it did take a lot of tweaking.

I'm happy with 445 fsb, 4GHz is plenty

All I need is to get it stable on 1.216v, play with some GTLs and skews

[Hoss331]

Mines good up to about 500 but not much more than that, if I recall 507 was the highest it went. It had no problem priming 8 hours+ in the high 480s, probably even the 490s, I was still on air at the time so I didnt get a chance to take it there. It definitely doesnt have anything on the P for high FSB.

[monza1412]

monza you are also on the cheerleading squad

Cheers
Sergio

well yes, I consider that is one of the best motherboards for overclocking quads but Im not a fanboy.
If hes happy that he achieved his goal with that ASUS motherboard, then good for him, thats all that matters



cheers

[LennyRhys]

4GHz passing 1 hour of prime blend, making progress slowly but surely. GTLs are all on auto.

I tried 1.225v and PC would restart after 30mins, so this is 1.2375 vcore, board overvolts very slightly under load.

Temps very cool at 50C

[radaja]

your right.
i think people are confused.getting 4Ghz on the maxII and P5Q-deluxe is indeed easy.its the 500fsb and beyond with a quad that those boards cant seem to do.(some have done it but with great great effort).
so the gigabyte cheering should continue Quad+UD3P/R=500fsb heaven

[OC Nub]

I got all my parts for water cooling in today. Got it going finally after I got over being nervous. Had a small drip but was outside the case, think I have that fixed now. Thanks to the guys that gave me suggestions on what to order. And a big THANK YOU to Sergio for taking the time to help me and send step by step pictures of how to build it.
Priming at 4.5ghz now, not stable yet but temps are looking better than ever.

agree also but i quotted the 500x9 not 445x9...

Cheers to both
