The E0 Q9550 SLB9V thread (finally!)

[bigwill68]

Hey all, I'm planning on grabbing a Q9550 from my local microcenter and wanted to know if its possible to hit 4ghz with a P5Q-E (chipset rev. A2, if that matters)?

you should have know problem booting up at 4.0ghz but you have to work to keep it stable..when you go to micro center ask the saleman to see if they all are the same batch numbers and how many he has pick a good 1 and please post your batch number and born on date for us..me and CincyRob on here got the same batch number and everything cause there was 13 left of the same at the time at are local micro center here in Cinncinnati..I wanna see if your store and my store got the same batch numbers by chance or close to it

As C1E is enabled, I had to run cinebench to get the real frequency, so this is the vcore under load (1.17V), whereas the idle vcore is around 1.20V.

I expect that many people will say that 3h of OCCT ain't enough, but for a use like mine, I think that 3h is enough.

you should have the C1E disabled to get the correct freguency along with the CIET Function also or you will be throttled..i believe a test with intelburentest will
clear you of a stable chip if you pass the test after words run it thru a few hours of Orthos that's what..i do and Sandra to check my (mips) hey magnum
you should be sitting on 3.9 like me but it did take me some volts to get it stable there..I gotta work on lowering it down some best of luck my friend

And Come To Me Tommorow+PSU 785 Watt Green

Thanks
