The E0 Q9550 SLB9V thread (finally!)

[bigwill68]

I thought I could attach images directly but looks like I have to host them somewhere. Will post images when I get that sorted out.

do some imageshack shot and post your cpu-z specs link brother what memory you running on that I45?

I would post a screen shot but this forum doesn;t allow me to upload images directly. I registered on imageshack and been waiting 4 hours for their confirmation email. Anyone recommend a faster response image hosting site?

Try Photobucket my friend link below and hope your saving your images as jpg or you doin it png?

I regsitered on imageshack and still waiting for a confirmation email 4 hours later

My memory is 2X1GB OCZ Gold PC2-8500. It is older stuff... Binned Micron D9's.. takes 2.4V to get to rated 1100MHz speed at 555-15.

Oh. Looks like I was using an old version of RealTemp. Downloaded the latest and now it shows min VID =1.1000 and max = 1.2500. Does this mean my VID is 1.1000 only when running C1E power savings and 1.25V when running full power?

That means your VID is 1.25v

max is the one you go by, so you have a 1.25vid chip

[Dadi_oh]

Oh sure. Shatter my miserable dreams

Either way I am happy to be over 4GHz on air with <1.3V and haven't really started playing with OC settings yet.

Will post if I can get on image shack sometime tonight...

[Kashelz]

Just got 50 loops pased Intel Burn test @ 450 x 8, damn, this chip looks like love high PLL voltage Still 1.4 fsb voltage (will try lower) + 1.7v PLL, messured the PLL with multimeter and it showed 1.738v under laod, how long do you think this chip will be live? :>

If it dosnt overclock, well, then it must be dead

[Hoss331]

Oh sure. Shatter my miserable dreams

im sorry

burn the shack and try the bucket..I guess you did'nt see my link..I gave you?

what's your cpu voltage sitting on? [+0.100v] or [+0.75v]?

the C1E is in 2 different ares of the bios you only have to disable it in either or not both..lol

[spinejam]

im sorry

a 1.25 vid q9550 is still nice though!

[monza1412]

Looks like bad CPU or bad combo with my board (maybe BIOS???), I cant find where to mesure FSB voltage on my P5K-E board with multimeter upside the board, 445 fsb passed Intel Burn test 50 loops easy with 445 x 8, but no luck at 450 I tryed FSB voltage all the way up to 1.4v from 1.1 in BIOS, tryed PLL voltage up to 1.7v, looks better, but also freezes during test.



Lets hope it is just a bad fsb hole with this cobo, never had problems on my 65nm quads

I had the same combo and also 450 was the maximum stable fsb I could achieve with reasonable voltages. If you have a good lower voltage chip maybe you should consider other motherboard for it.

[Kashelz]

But its strange, 445 FSB is easy at low voltages on all setings, next 450 is hard and 460 is hard to boot, 1.7 pll, 1.4 fsb, 1.7 nb and 1.2sb, still nothing, maybe 4 x 2Gb memory is the problem...

GLT changes also do nothing, i think its the bad CPU I got, it sensors are bad and VID also is realy bad (1.275v for 45nm), but still testing, I have 1.8v PLL still to test

chipset limitation my friend, thats all. I assume you have selected .67 gtl in mch. The cpu gtl adjustments barely do anything in that board. I had also tried with 2 gb and the results were the same.

Here is a screenshot running at 4.05GHz.

+1 from me, for the bucket's neat & clean picture hosting!

My Q9550@3.4 GHz was running for 4h30, The max FFTs size is 8k (instead of 64), do you think my CPU is stable ?

You better add this test too: Intel burn test!

Prime95 : CPU Stability

Intel Burn Test/Linx : Cooling Effiency, and RAM.

I'm right ?

[Kashelz]

Linx also test hard CPU stability, but Prime95 with small FFTs is good test for CPU. I test all of them, after all Prime95 Blend for 12+ hours.

DadI_Oh

looks sweet to me. im going to put in my Mushkin meme iknow i can get 1066 out of and try and take it up some and see if i get that nice 4.0....lol

[lordmagnum]

My Q9550 is now running at 3.4 GHz, Vcore 1.21V (with LLC), Vnb 1.26V, Vtt 1.26V, Vpll 1.52V.
Is Prime95 for 4h30 (FFTs max at 8kb) enough to check the stability ?

Your running settings fairly similair as mine was at 3.4ghz, though i always run p95 small fft for 8 hours for cpu stability, followed by 8 hours of blend.

Hey Guys
Some Bench With My New Batch Q9550

anyone has a L844C076 batch E0 Q9550? vid is 1.125

[setter]

Very nice vivid, if i can eek 4ghz out of my q9550 ill be extremely happy, 4870x2 looks nice, unfortunately i couldnt afford one at the time, so i had to settle for a gtx 280, not bad for my res of 1920x1200, plays all my games at an ok rate, but if i seen a 4870x2 on auction, id have it quicker than dinner lol.

Are you sure thats not the min vid?
