Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

Sergio, great results ! Very good for a single card

What were ur settings for 523x9? I can't seem to get it to boot into windows. Furthest i got was near the end of loading screen. But then after trying more voltage on vcore, vtt, mch, pll, vdimm and i/o it freezes on post. I had the amps on 1000mV for CPU and MCH, and 50ps on MCH skew.

BTW my PSU is 750w thermaltake, could that be limiting me? the 12v rail is 12.36v and the 3.3v is 3.24v on load at high clocks...

Hey mate how are you thank you for your words

I can boot at this settings, don't get scared of my volts still a year and running all strong volts shown are what my system needs

Q9650@ 4707mhz for some SPI32runs on W7x64 (wich is harder to boot than XP32)




Q9650@ 4707mhz for 3Dbenchs on XP32




Q9650@ 4815mhz just booted into W7x64 to run some SPI's




All this i made boot volts to boot and stay stable for bench are more than if you boot at low lets say 4500 and then you use ET6. Normally i use this last method, that was done for fun with Oc Nub testing togheter

Hope it helps you.

Cheers
Sergio

Wow, 523fsb, that's really flying along good, that must have took a bit of tweaking, well done
I'll have to have a good, long tinker after I've rebuilt my loop this weekend. Seriously doubt I'll be able to get anywhere near stable beyond 500 with this board, but the volts needed for 490x8.5 looks promising, and hopefully won't be after a lot more for ~500. If I spot a ud3p anywhere going for a good price i'll probably have to snap it up.
