The E0 Q9550 SLB9V thread (finally!)

[Boulard83]

Im currently working my 4.08ghz. 480x8.5

Raised my Vcore to ( 1.256 CPUz under load )
GTL : .65x
FSB term : 1.34
PLL : 1.56
NB : 1.34
SB : 1.20
PCIe : 1.50
Dram : 2.00

Those are similar to my 3.8ghz but i lowered the NB and FSB already ! ill maximize every volts this week when im off. OCCT is running its 15th minutes. Temps are good on this HOT day !

Ill be back with FINAL volts later this week.

It is the same chip, it is an older EO batch#L832B701. Next weekend I might try again to get higher. Any more than 4400mhz will be hard to get stable.

Thanks Tom, I look forward to seeing how far this fine chip can be pushed.

Nice run Monza, what are your temps at load? Your ss doesn't show load temps. Can you Prime at these clocks?

He's running 32bit wich is easier to pass he's using just 1684 MEM wich will make temps much lower, you are using W7x64 Tom wich is indeed harder than that, so to blend for hours.

Either way a very nice run. I had a TRUE originally on my 9550 when I started and couldn't run LinX at 1,360v. What is your cooling?
I will have to put my chip back in now and test some more.

Very nice monza.

thanks bud, I didnt measure the temps, but I consider it should be at high 70 cos Im on air in a push/pull configuration.
I dont use prime anymore mate, I found it to be a bit unreliable for me.
Sometimes you can get an error at the first hour or 4 hours later just using the same settings... I just run LINX/IBT at maximum RAM use for CPU test, couple of hours of Memtest for ram test and OCCT large data set to MCH/CPU/RAM test.
For me thats the best way to figure out some sort of inestability, and identify the cause.

wow... that was a bit rude ... Im using all memory available as you can see that 1624 is greyed out. Due a linpack32 limitation I cant allocate more ram. Thats all.

[monza1412]

Very nice monza.

thanks man

True in a push/pull config with two Minibea fans

Very nice man, congrats.

[monza1412]

Very nice man, congrats.

thanks again.. Im waiting for your results

Im gonna have to have a crack at breaking 4ghz on mine, currently running 3.8ghz on 1.21875 vcore, 1.200 idle, 1.216 at load (vid of 1.200), never see temps above 56c using a TRUE black push/pull config. All theese 4ghz+ screenies are making me jealous lol.

Not rude at all just wanted to state that's harder on a 64bit OS mine shows this in ALL mode on Linx

I dont think Sergio was trying to be rude, we have been testing the 9650's for a while and are able to do some oc's in xp with lower volts than w7 64bit is all. I think prime is pretty accurate for testing stability, or as accurate as possible, nothing is 100%.

[OC Nub]

Monza: could you post your a template? Thanks

[OC Nub]

thanks again.. Im waiting for your results

I will try and put the chip in this weekend. Meanwhile try some prime

well, in the way you said it, it seems you are trying to discredit that test because it was run in a 32bit O.S. I think that 2/3 of the folks that posted ibt/linx screens in this thread were made in 32 bits OS, and none of them was getting a response comment like: "huh... 64bits its harder, try that!".
Of course 64 bits test could be a different story, but that doesnt mean that a 32 bits test its not valid.
Im not claming 100% stability, as it depends on other factors, but for me is just a valid result as it could be a hyperpi screen or a prime screen.
Anyway, you can think different.

Of course mate, let me put my shi t e together and I will send you a pm as I dont want to hijack more the thread.

Just wanted to state that Tom was testing on 64bit W7 nothing more than that if you feel sensitive that is not my problem monza you should know what is stable or not to this days and each one of us make its on rules of "what is stable", no way to discredit, if i wanted to do that i would have say directly, but that wasn't my intention.

Lost of us are testing on 64bit OS and blending on them and from our experience gets harder than on 32bit OS using less mem, so less problem size so less heat, thats the aim of the comment.

Either way its a good OC and I have nothing more to say.

Sergio.

not sensitive at all, just stated the obvious

[monza1412]

moved to spi 32m due to heat reasons

[ViViD]

Great Monza
Can u Test 1M For Me
In 530 FSB

Hey ViViD sup

If you want im trying my 9650 on 8,5 giving all the way up to 540x8,5, just shoot a SPI 1M at 535 x 8,5, in case you wanna seee

Guys I just bought a Q9550 from Microcenter.

SLB8V
Batch# L847C070 ??? What is the C??
Pack Date: 7/10/09


Edit: Just saw a few pages back in this thread regarding the "C" batches. Will update with the vid
