Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[greg.m]

I am tempted to go for crazy voltages too before installing a new x58 mobo and proc... why not

Thats exactly whatim doing

[zsamz_]

i be back

low vid chip commin my way sooooon


andressergio please say gigabut not gigabyte

[greg.m]

i be back




andressergio please say gigabut not gigabyte

+10

[andressergio]

i be back

low vid chip commin my way sooooon


andressergio please say gigabut not gigabyte

i prefeer to say asusuX instead

[andressergio]

andressergio please say gigabut not gigabyte

u r afraid of gigabyte i assume you will put that low vid on an AsusuX mobo right zsamz_

with love of course zsamz lol

[andressergio]

Heh with that VTT and NB voltage all is possible.

that i've been doing on my giga board for a year on my low vid chip

well i gave the gigabut ud3r to my kid
i gonna see how high it can go then kids gets the q9650 for xmass
if you tried the rampage extreme you would kiss its bigbut
now say "gigabut" or "jigabut" 10 times

I prefer 'Arseus'

ASSus wouldn't be better

HI, I am old and new and n00b and I come back from reading to posting

Past 6 months I watched and reading and I learned a lot from you, (especially from NapalmV5, andressergio, Jor3lBR, SNiiPE_DoGG, radaja...)
and now the time has come to post something:

I think my processor is not as good as yours but

- 1,2875 vid
- DQ6 has huge vdroop (at high FSB --> 0,10-0,12V)
- F12 bios
- boot in windows with 4,50 GHz
- anything above 520-525 FSB --> freeze or restart system
- stable at 4,00 GHz (445 FSB) for now

Here are some results:

max CPU-Z


SuperPi


wPrime


3Dmark06


24/7 for now



PS.
Sorry for bad english (google translate do miracles)

Im starting getting bored with my grunny sexy ARSLUS... Im thinking to go for 10 teenie gigaBUTTS too



cheers

@greg , for 450fsb the RF how much MCH needs? (with x38-dq6 , 450fsb/1200ram8gb , needs max vmch-1.625 for questionable stability... , for 445/1187, just 5 mhz only lower.. is 9hrs linx stable with 1.525)

Damn, it sucks seeing you people with gigabyte boards pushing the hell out of these things. It's a pain to reach 4.25ghz even with my MIIF, although doable. It's not worth it to upgrade for a 250mhz increase in clocks for 24/7, although it would be very nice to bench at 4.75ghz+ Ah well, 775 is getting old. Shouldn't waste more money it I guess. I'll upgrade to I7 once I get some spare money laying around

[radaja]

E-mil,very nice clocks and results.it takes work
to get results like your,so i know you've done the work.
jor told me the same thing once, "read up and test
like crazy to find out what your particular cpu/MB/ram
combo likes and needs".great job

and pos board can do 4.25 with a q9650 lol
but its 500fsb thingy most cant handle

GUYS, how much nbv needs someone with X38-DQ6 @ 450fsb + 1200 8gb ram


Ihave a friend with maximus formula X38 and he needs crazy nbvolts to run his system stable @ much lower clocks - something like 1.69-1.73. But the thing is that he runs his system with these crazy volts for over 2 years now.
My guess is that you can safely run with up to 1.70nbv IF you can keep nb cool.

you dreaming if you think to see a x38-dq6 runnin 4 stix @ that speed
i couldnt get mine past 850 with 4 stix of d9 nevermind 2 gb stix
1.7vis fine as long as temps are good
i was thankfull the pos d6q died after a few weeks

@ Papatsonis. Your way too lucky you can run vmch-1.625 @ 445/1187 with 8gb and your X38-DQ6

[papatsonis]

no man.. its not dreaming... right now i have finished stability tests(9hrs Linx64 - 7200mb) for 445 fsb/1.2vtt , and 8gb gskill 8800pi@ 1187 PL6 with 1.525 VMCH , just the chipset scales heavily non linear.. and for 450 fsb i need 1.625 VMCH (havent test all possible gtlref settings for 450 though)

Right now im running my x48 grunny @ 500x9 @ 1200 and i need 1.77nbv to achieve crysis wars stability

If i remember well 450@4050@1200pl6 needs something like 1.40 but... i cant go back and try it because it goes only up now (my grunny)

[greg.m]

(havent test all possible gtlref settings for 450 though)

most common gtlref are 0.62(works for me)-0.63 cpu and 0.67 nb for our x38-x48

[papatsonis]

forgot to tell , with Turbo mode, not Extreme (for extreme need ~0.1+ volt additional the x38) , extreme saves about 2.5ms in latency and give a small boost in read , but doesn't worth the heat...
