Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[LennyRhys]

Making good progress - 4.2GHz now 1hr Prime blend stable with 1.325v in BIOS.

Haven't really tweaked it yet... PLL and NB could be a lot lower I think, and possibly vcore too. All CPU GTLs are auto.

Nice oc lenny!

Hello Guys,

Here is my oC :

Asus P5Q deluxe bios 1306
Q9650 (9*467MHz ) + Ifx14-10 with scythe Slipstream 1200rpm
2*2Gb Gi-Skill Pi Black 8500
POV 8800 GTS640
PSU : Corsair HX520
stable under OCCT, OCCT PSU test, and LinX

CPU Voltage : 1,30000
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (0/2) : AUTO
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (1/3) : AUTO
CPU PLL Voltage : 1.50
FSB Termination Voltage : 1,28
DRAM Voltage : 1.80
NBridge Voltage : 1.24
NBridge GTL Reference : AUTO
SBridge Voltage : 1,10
PCIE SATA Voltage : 1,50

It will have to make some improvements that I obtained on the P5Q deluxe Thread

[LennyRhys]

Nice oc lenny!

Thanks man

Currently testing stability at 4300MHz using 4x super pi 32m, not exact in round, not convergent in sqr etc

I'm gonna wait till late at night to Prime at 4300MHz, low ambient temp

[greg.m]

Great temps greg.m for 1.424v, What CPU block did you have before this? And how much lower are the temps with the HeatKiller 3.0?

Here is what used to have :



One block for almost everything, nb, cpu, mosfets... It was good for light overclocking but i couldnt find stability above 4200-4250, that was the peak. I could bench or prime test with 1.40vcore but core temps could hit 90c So, priming was forbidden with high vcore.

Veeery nice volts

A big difference in temps, more room to push higher now. The new Blocks look great.

Thanx man I will burn everything

[LennyRhys]

Still working on lowering volts for my 4200 everyday frequency, was very surprised that I managed to boot at this

[andressergio]

Never tested 8.5 multi before but testing with OC Nub pushed me to do it lol, seems to like it needed more volts on the MCH and vdimm but this is my first attempt

Nicely done Lenny

Thats awesome Sergio. Nice work man, and a great chip.

Thank you mate we had fun testing our chips

[Hoss331]

No, no you supposed to go up on the multi, not down. JK Nice run guys.

469*9.5 1250 at PL7 on Extreme

X3380 on SS phase a couple weeks ago...

[Hoss331]

Nice. Did this on water last week.

Nice. Did this on water last week.

damn hoss thats a great chip where did you get it from ?

somebody

[kahuna321]

cant get stable even at 4.35- I stuck and can get up!

Heres where I'm at:

478x9=4300

CPU

vcore 1.343
term 1.26
pll 1.45
ref .863

MCH

v 1.32
ref .798

Ram ( g.skill lv 9600s, 4x2gb, 2.4b )

v 1.8
ref .9

all others auto

have booted up to 4550, but not able to do more than 1 run intel burn. At settings above I can run prime 95 overnight at temps in low to mid 60s, 50 runs of intelburn at temps in high 70s to low 80s. NB run about 3 degrees hotter under load. 4300 is rock solid stable for everything- stress test, benchmarking, gaming, multitasking, etc. But I want more!! Am I maxed out due to temps?

I have tried literally hundreds of combination and logged results to try and find a trend. I need some guidance on how to slowly move the clock up to at least 4500-if it is possible on air that is....

thanks all

[kahuna321]

tried your settings, hoss- and it wont even post!

messed around with it some and found that the advanced mem settings were the biggest holdup. it also seems my processor likes less volts but more reference.

too late, will try again tomorrow...

thx

[andressergio]

somebody

congrats hoss awesome

[Hoss331]

Thanks. Ive had it for a couple months now, just havent bothered to play with it much other than some air max clock runs.

everest scores for 469*9.5 1250 PL7 on Extreme are 10441R, 9955W, 10305C and 47.1L
turbo never seemed to make a difference for me but extreme surely does

[Jor3lBR]

congrats hoss awesome

Lol HOSS that is a X3380 cpu and this is the Q9650 thread so because of the OT nobody really answered or nobody really know how a X3380 should clock.

I already asked for ya to ship that to me and we can compare results on the appropriate thread...

[Hoss331]

The "somebody" post was my answer to where I got it.
