go back to i7 radaja send me that cpu lol

[radaja]

maybe i will,you never know with me.
cant seem to settle on one thing

Very nice mate, certainly one of the best Q9650's I've seen. What batch do you have?

[radaja]

thanks guys.its batch L836B361.
im on water w/ AC blowing into the rad
so its cold.
i got it to prime with 1.40v in bios.
will post SS soon.heres a pic of the cooling
setup,its not the prettiest but very effective.
after the AC goes throught the rad the 4500rpm
tornado fan blows the cold air down into the case
where the two 4000rpm TT fans keep the rest cool.

wow thats the reason lmao you have an engine there mate

Cheers and congrats, nice to see an antec900

[radaja]

parts of it at least.ripped out all the rivets so i could
have a MB tray.just kept the back and sides,and the top
just lays there.no front or hard drive stuff.

[andressergio]

This is mine playing some time ago when it was cold outside 13C to 16C taking fresh air form outside lol







and my buddy OC thats all time with me complaining why i invaded his space



Cheers mate fun with your Q9650

How do you guys get your wives and girlfriends to tolerate your computing habits? What's your secret?

[andressergio]

lol in my case she loves playing games and she helps me on my builds, so she knows that the games she chooses need power lol so she helps me.

Cheers

[radaja]

nice when its cold andressergio.
if prime fails 896k,doesnt that have to do with
the NB and ram?

[andressergio]

depends mate can be you need a notch of vcore...for sure is that, what vid is yours ? Oc nub is 1,17 and needed same vcore as me to pass blend long time, it was 1,42+ set on bios mine is 1,1875 and needs 1,43+ set on bios, i think you need a bump and it will pass for hours

Cheers

i get to buy all the toys i want
wife got new kitchen
for every 100 i spend on pc parts she gets 1000 in renovations
its freekin expensive for me to even buy a 100$ part lol
the good thing is she comes n seduces me to get me off the pc
but when i build i'm off limits
she will have a new bathroom next year

Are you using cellshocks again? If so try lowering your mch ref. down 1 notch, back to stock. On my board they like the 0.760 setting over the 0.800.

well im using cellshock pc8500's,i think they have the d9 gmh's.

well i tried raising the mch and vdimm one notch each
and left vcore at 1.406v and this time it made it through.
got to say im very very happy with this cpu

Help please
i just noticed that my WCing loop goes
pump/res/cpu/rad.would it be better
to go pump/rad/cpu/res?i had no clue
as to what i was doing when i put it
together.i looked and looked at pics
as to how it should be and i think i
confused myself in the end.but wouldnt
it cool my cpu better comimg straight from
the rad first?

It should be pump->rad->cpu->res. Awesome clocks; I think the chip gods are smiling on you. You have all the golden chips in the Intel Section.

[radaja]

Europa,thanks for the WCing info.
and yes the last three cpu's seem to be
a gift from the cpu gods.before them its
was just average chip's one after another.

WOOT!! Well done buddy - I knew you would be part of the Q9650 miracle club

[radaja]

KRich thanks,it's so much better than my 1.25 vid Q9650

[MarkJohnson]

I seemed to have hit a FSB wall. I get 4.15GHz(13x319) and it passes Prime95 for an hour with temps only low 50's. as soon as I go 13x320 it won't post at all and just beeps at be and resets itself at default clocks of 13x200. I even tried lowering the multiplier slowly down to x6 and still no post. I was hoping there is a trick to get a little more, or maybe a setting I overlooked.

Here's my BIOS settings:

I also tried setting (G)MCH to 333 too see if the next boot strap would help and nothing at x6 multiplier as well.

Thanks for any help

[bluestang]

Mark, with those voltages you can probably run 8x500 instead. Might need more MCH for it (1.34) and you will have to ajust refs. Also, set you (G)MCH Latch to Auto and pick you ram multiplier. Set your Static tRead (Performance Level) to 9 and maybe even 8 if 9 is stable.

[yourhead]

Sorry to trouble everyone but first of all, thanks for the info. I started reading and realized it would take me forever to get through it. I have this mobo, an E8500, Xigmatech Dark Knight, 2x2gb Corsair PC8500 1066 Dominator memory, 4870 1GB, 2x500GB WD Black in Raid 0, 1x1TB WD Black for storage, SATA LG burner, and a 950 watt quad 12v rail 85+ Thermaltake Black Widow modular PSU. I have a Lian Li with 2 intake in front, 1 exhast in rear, 1 exhaust on top. I'm wondering what the best bios setup would be for my setup. I want a nice daily OC. I don't need to get 4.5 unless I can. I've been running Vista 64 but I got Windows 7 for $29 as a student so I picked up the 2x500GB because I broke one of my raptors SATA connectors :/ I'm doing a fresh install soon so I figured it would be a great time to OC this gaming rig. I don't mind lapping the cpu and HS if it will make a huge differance. I'm mainly after a decent daily OC. Template would be awesome

Kind Regards,

Brian

What is the best latest BIOS for overclocking 65nm quads?

[gurusan]

I am having problems getting anything past 400FSB on ym EP45C-UD3R. I'm not a noob to clocking but so far this board sucks. Any tips?

Try settng just your cpu voltage, mch voltage and memory voltage first. This board really doesn't like having alll its setting set at once and this is my guess about what you are doing wrong. Then you go through one by one and try to tweak your gtls and other setings. This board does not, suck!
