Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[andressergio]

Ran 06 at 4.7ghz with crossfire in W7 64bit.

Damn Tom that's a great score for a moment i tought it was just one card

[vws]

So i took my pc to my other balcony and let the sanyos breath 13C to 15C temps i did some tests for fun

Wait, so your UD3P doesn't come with all light-blue Nippon Chemi-Con solid caps, instead some of them are the purple Sanyo's? I've seen both layouts and always thought the boards with all light-blue NCC caps would overclock better. I guess it's just a myth (since the DFI days).

BTW, great temps at 4.7GHz there!

Edit: typo with NCC...

The Sanyo's are the fans for the rad not on the board.


Thanks you Sergio.

Hey Guys,

I'm still on my pc vacations. I ordered some Acard ANS-9010 and SSD's to try to catch the FutureMark WR, but for now the Q9650 is shut down till further notice.

I'm glad you guys are having fun.

Sergio nice 4500Mhz ride! OCNub outstanding 4890x2 benches!

Keep the thread alive.

Congrats TooFastForYa enjoy them they are a great kit one of the best ddr2's around

Cheers

I know I am missing out not using that 9600 gskill ram but I have a hard time paying that much for ddr2 mem. I know it use to be much more expensive but still with the price of ram now it is hard to fork out 140 USD for a
4gb kit of ddr2

[TooFastForYa]

I was waiting and waiting for the OCZ 9600 LV Blades to come back in stock seems how they are quite a bit cheaper, but who knows when they will be available again. I got tired of waiting and the Tridents are in stock so I went with them.

[OC Nub]

I am curious to see how they do for you. I am tired of waiting also. Keep us posted please.

Nice OCs on the Q9650s guys! I'm going to try and get better results on HWBot with my Q9650 next week here, last time I tested it I hit a barrier with some 800mhz ram running at 1050mhz, I have a nice 1066 set now...
Very nice low Vcores also, I've been using more for each clock.

Took some sheets of plastic and formed duct going from my ac unit to my rad, Everest reads my CPU temp at 22c idle now at 1.3v . Will try and get 4.5 stable this weekend and catch up to you Sergio. Think this chip may need some burn in time though. Have only had it a little over 1 week.


22c and dropping


Ok ran 14 minutes of 8k to see how temps were. 55c isn't bad for this cpu.

Thanks Sergio. Finally was able to do a short blend run at 4.5ghz, 3hours no errors. Will mess with it some more this weekend.
