Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[radaja]

funny i havent turned my gigabut rig + q9650 on since i primed it
its hibernating like a bear

why not!dont take it for granted,one
day it will be gone and you'll regret
that you just let it sit there and sleep.

let the sleep
i'm afraid if i use it she might
i only got her to 4.4 so far

[radaja]

you will never know the joy of 4500+
with your quad if it just sleeps,but even
sleeping theres a chance she still might

if i get a local buyer before that i wont be able to play
pure joy would be my e8600 @ 5.0

I have L846B6B2...and I am having trouble getting past 3.8 on air, any advice?

I also have exactly the same problem!I have an asus P5Q Deluxe motherboard.Can you help us guys?If someone has the p5q deluxe and the q9650 please give me the right settings!

[quattro_]

Very nicely done, could you please post your BIOS template or PM me with it? Haven't really pushed my REX with the Q9650 but 4GHz was very easy, would be interesting to see your settings.

Quattro - thanks for that. Is your OC Linx max mem / Prime Large FFT stable?

I may dust off my REX and drop the quad in and see how it does.

[quattro_]

100% stable .

[Davit]

Hey fellas is there a "safe" - I am using this term loosely - limit for VTT and VCORE on Q9650???
I mean no guts no glory I am all good with that, but stupid is just that - stupid.
No point on getting 4.5 at the expense of the cpu lol.

Was that a wrong question? Did I kill this thread lol?

i wouldnt be scared of vtt
on cpu 1.44 is fine
just keep temps below 65c

[andressergio]

Today after 2 months of waiting i finally find a mate comming from miami and he brought me this baby, awesome 12V rail volts !!!

sorry for the out of topic but i'm happy





Cheers to all
Sergio

Very nice PSU, hope it does you well. I wonder how much that 12v rail will come down when it has the full PC load on it? Should still be good though, it performed well in the reviews.

Will measure it Cryptik soon as i installed

[OC Nub]

Congrats on the new PSU.

Congrats on the new PSU.

Thanks Tom

Nicely done andressergio, I got my hands on one a couple of months ago and although it's not the quietest one I've owned, it's definitely the best. Gotta love the packaging too, very nicely presented. I also experienced higher volts on the 5v and 12v than on my old Jeantech which was always silghtly under spec, but never caused any major issues. I can confirm that my DMM gave no fluctuations whilst I loaded the CPU and GPU, and reported a constant 12.15v for me, even during reboot, same goes for the 5v rail.
I bought it more for the reassurance as my old PSU had definitely had a good innings and was having problems which turned out to be the mobo (which is now RMAed and going good).
Sorry for ranting in off topic there!

Like you, I'll have my hands on a Q9650 by the end of this week, seems like stock might be starting to thin out a bit over here.

Thank you mate 12,11 volts loaded with the Q9650 4500/1200 and the GTX285 at 800/1764/3096

Much better than my TT 850 that was 11,98

Cheers
Sergio

[andressergio]

Seems like Corsair HX850 put some power on the system look at the shaders !! could do this before on my TT850

Q9650 @4500/1200
gtx285 @ 800/1872/3024




Cheers

Very nice clocks there. Perhaps you can lower your vcore a little now also since it made such a difference to the shaders. Whats up with Sanctuary hardware section stating your Q9650 has HTT?

[In-Fluence]

All these screenies are driving me nuts... I'm now being told that 9650's are discontinued, and stockists can't get their hand on any more! I'm gonna be majorly gutted if I miss out on one, and rather fruious, as I've now been to 2 sites who supposedly have them 'in stock', only to discover they dont, and can't get any more.
Can anyone confirm this? (In the UK at least)

thanks Cryptik i dont know it alwas says so...

will try less vcore yes, awesome PSU but the card still measures 1,22ish at load so nothing was changed but the 12rail voltaje...

Grab a batch like Oc nub or Nkresho mate the last good ones or ask around maybe someone wants to sell to go for I7, did you search ebay ?

Cheers and best of lucks
