i just poped in a q9650 and its drivin me nuts
it dont like a 4 gig set no more lol

how bad is this?

radaja dont tell me about the ud3p i rather cut my pecker off than buy 1

[radaja]

wouldnt even think about it?i know how you feel about gigabut
but still your off to a good start there.im sure you will get it up to 500fsb soon

RE is no good with a quad above bus 475 but Giga..., o no, sorry just kidding.

Seriously, RE is no good with a quad above bus 475, to much voltage is needed but if you don´t mind just turn on the juice on that PLL, FSB and a lot on the NB, don´t forget to tune those GTL Ref.


Here´s a Q9650 @ 500, 4,0GHz with 4x1 Dominator 1800C7 @ 1600 777 21 Strong tRD 8

if i dont make 500fsb the cpu is history
man a quad is not fun like a e8600

only reason i got to 475 was +60 on gtls and man this cpu is a vtt whore
i didnt push cpu pll i know i degraded my e6850 @ 1.7
i'm gonna push nb to 1.75
i'm just glad i changed all the sinks the board woulda been on fire
nb hit 42c pwm 45c sb 44c
any hope to clock 2x2?

yea i know the feeling,when i had my Q9650,it was fun but then the limiting fsb factored in.
mainly because i wanted to do some high fsb memory clocking.

Here´s some 3Dmark result that I did run with my Asus Rampage Extreme / Q9650 / 2x1 Corsair Dominator PC-14400 1800C7 / EVGA GTX 285 FTW

@ various speed, bus 505 - 510, CPU speed 4,545 - 4,590GHz and ram @ 2020 - 2040 888 24 Strong tRD 8

It´s pretty awesome I most say, consider that it was made with a quad, I did try the same with my EP45-UD3P and Rampage Formula but they couldn´t touch the Rampage Extreme.

These hot days really annoying me alot. I do not setup my watercooling yet why there are some parts which I need take them for it first. Because of that I using my stock cooling todays. I'll purchase my NB+SB combo waterblock soon and I'll give you some results here. When I oc'ed the system, my NB temps messing up well thats why I do not do anything about oc now. I saw the 56C on it man, thats really sad to me.

PS: Please anyone share the 3dmarks06 scores here.

Cheers,
Arthur

stock is ridiculous
i put a katana3 on nb and priming my e9650 i got 43c max on nb i was @ 55c idle with stock cooling

radaja this the limit on air for me

Hell yea man, you are right about that. Plus I only have my E8600's stock fan here. By the way, you can check my some results on page 97, I could take them with my bloddy stock fan LOL. I just do not want to increase my temps more with my RE for a while.

I purchased some fittings to my Thermochills today. I'll purchase my chipset block when my fittings arrived in my hand soon.

Thanks again,
Arthur

you dont want the heat
once nb gets real hot it degrades
and pwms just

still a great start,and dont say thats it.i know you'll
keep pushing and figure out a way

[zsamz_]

i bumped sb to 1.6v n 1.11v
next step is to use 2x2 stix
dont u guys like the power of a/c

[radaja]

dont u guys like the power of a/c

I Love It!!!!

[Think]

cross your fingers
asus has a habit of just resendin board as fixed while doin nothin to it
meanwhile try gettin the cpu tested

New motherboard returned and I'm up and running. Trying to find stability again is such a pain with this board but I'm testing each module individually to make sure they are working correctly before I proceed with overclocking. I contemplated selling off the processor and board - jumping into the i7 area but it's just not worth it in my opinion.

I noticed that the board came with bios 1201 and it seems ok. Anyone have an opinion on this bios or should I flash back to 1104?

Thanks

i didnt like 1201 but i'm usin 1202

Just flashed and will pay with 1202. I removed 2 of the 4 mushkin 996625 module and I would highly recommend NOT using these modules with this board. Very difficult and super finicky to get them working. I forgot my original parmeters but am having difficulty hitting my 440 fsb mark.

Wow, 1202 bios is amazing. My NB, vtt volts are much less ( 1.42 ) than my previous settings and are running perfectly. The setting that was actually causing the most headaches was the AI CLOCK and COMMON PERFORMANCE. Setting them to Lighter and 8 worked, anything lower caused problems.

Completely stable at 480 x 8.5 1:1 1601.

Thanks folks and thanks to MushkinSean.



PS. I can pass Prime95 for 24 hours but OCCT just crashes the system to blue screen. Personally think that OCCT is not a reliable program. Thoughts?

That bios is good for raid0 abductor not to have problem?¿ my Hw is : E8600 , rampage extreme bios 501 , 2x2 g skill trident 1600mhz , raptor 74gb 16buffer x2 , 850w Modular TT Toughpower, 4850 saphire 512

max i would prime now is 30 min lol why would i stress the cpu n board so much
the real test for me is gaming 1 hour+

Hello, guys. Have somebody tried 4GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-16000 2000MHz Trident with Rampage Extreme? Or any PC3 16000 modules?

I'm now with G.Skill 4GB 1600MHz, but I need 8GB... The Q9550 is at 4.1GHz and I'm wondering, will I reach at least 4GHz with 8GB memory. Can I?

i gave up clocking my q9650 + 4 gigs on this board
so 8 gigs not gonna happen unless you doing a verry mild overclock

[quattro_]

1202 is grate i managed to lower cpu, NB, vtt voltages.

EDITED

OMG also the FSB v.

[DerekT]

Purchased 2 sets of 2000 ripjaws and tossed them in. I've never been able to get my 4 X 2 1600C7 (microns) to work stable in this board. Finally I had one set of the 1600C7 and one set of 1333C9 and clocked the 6gb to 1450MHz and gave it to my son. He's had it running for about a year this way. Well, I took the memory out, popped these ripjaws in and changed to the next speed, ie. 1450 --> 1828Mhz. Solidly stable, even in gaming!!!



I haven't even begun to really play with them. They just were stable. Go figure.

Cost = $97.00 X 2 for 8GB!
