Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[grishenko45]

0.635 is usually a good starting point with these chips at low to moderate fsb and may need a little more as fsb goes up. Every setup is a little different so you need to find out what yours likes best. Try this 456fsb with 1.2625vc, 1.54pll, 1.26vtt, 1.28nb, both cpu gtls at 0.635 and nb gtl on auto. Also do you know for sure if your ram will run stably up to 1100+? Have you tried dropping down to 1:1?

i'll try my ram at 1:1 - but i wanted that OC'd too. I've read a couple of reviews - this ram need volts to OC even 20Mhz over stock - i was aiming for 1100Mhz @ 2.2v (stock 1066@2.1v)

I'll try 1:1 and those BIOS setting this weekend when I get time!!

Was able to squeeze a little more out of it last night.

Very nice Hoss To stabilize the Quad's above 4600Mhz takes a LOT of patience and skills. Welcome to Q9650@4650+Mhz stable club.

[Hoss331]

Thanks and good luck with your ln2 benching.

Hoss331 - i tried my ram on the divider below - so they ran at 931mhz or something with fsb at 458 - cpu@ 4.124ghz - this was fine - only thing was - my linx Gflops output was far less because my ram was like nearly 130mhz slower per stick.!! so i recon i'll loosen some timings to get them running at 1100mhz.

Good to see the Q9650 thread still going strong! Makes me miss my old chip.... sure did run a whole hell of a lot cooler than this 860.....>.<

Far less being what?

and it will be on and on mate you'll see
i love this platform sooo much so stable

at least one more year, if you ask me

I just started

[andressergio]

I just started

yeah ! i will restart soon on another batch

[radaja]

andressergio,which batch did you get?
did you get an even lower vid chip?

[E-mil]

yeah ! i will restart soon on another batch

if you do not know where tu put the old one, send it to me

[andressergio]

Not yet let's see mate...i love this platform and wont leave it as it feels rock solid

Cheers

let's see mate, all things takes its time maybe i give myself a nice xmas present

Just got back the 1st. place on SuperPi again. Man that was hard to beat because after the Country Cup Competition crazy Ociers all over the world submitted their Q9650_Spi1m run's, the WR was lowered by 0.200ms.

So here's my latest run:



Also lowered my wPrime32m:





Need only 500points on PCMark05 to get this thing wrapped

Congrats my friend thats an awesome SPI run

Cheeeeezzz

Congrats Jor, excellent job!!

[In-Fluence]

Nice run there Jor3lBR, and congrats.

you win back what really belongs to you

[andressergio]

you win back what really belongs to you

yes +1 for that i think the same

[Hoss331]

Very nice runs! Jor , question though did you down clock it for the spi ss because you have it listed as a 5ghz run on the bot?

[Jor3lBR]

Thanks for the kind words guys

Very nice runs! Jor , question though did you down clock it for the spi ss because you have it listed as a 5ghz run on the bot?

Hoss at those speeds and tight timings you have to downclock the cpu otherwise it will freeze on the SS. I would say that they were around 553 - 556 fsb.

I know how that goes, 550+ on mine gets kinda finicky.

My CPU container for LN2 will be ready soon. Wait, Jor

Hey Loco23 bring it!

My Q9650 did not scale well from chilled water to ln2 (same Mhz achieved), guess it is because it was my first LN2 run and I'm not used to it.

This SuperPi 1m has to be lower then 9 secs for sure
