Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[insane11]

Thank you andressergio

i would like to say the same to every one else to

@ insane 11 my northbridge gets verry hot runs 60 degrees... in my antec 900 so i wouldn't like to pump my nb voltage any higher...

yea my run hot around 50 and 60 but it went down to 35 after i take the heatsink of and replace clean and replace the thermal paste

[MrDucky]

i did there is MX2 on it but it still runs hot. the heatsink is verry hot i think i need to put a fan on it or something but thats not easy or its verry loud...

[Linuxfan]

Happy holidays everyone!
Without your help and settings posted in this thread I never would have pushed my Q9650 as far as I did!

@MrDucky

Do you think it would be possible to run a Q9650@4.5GHz with the DFI Lanparty DK P45 T2RS Plus ?

[MrDucky]

i think it could be, but for Quad core overclocking you should consider buying a UD3P. you also have to know that my Q9550 is Verry low VID. and i got another problem without a fan on my NB i cant get it cool enough ...
But it should be possible with a good vid , btw im dutch so if u want to PM me you can do it in dutch :P

So if I was looking for a replacement MB for my 780i which is paired with my 9650 you guys would suggest this?

i would 100% suggest this board,or get the UD3R if you only plan on one video card.
these boards seem to be made for the sole purpose of OCing Q9650.here is the equation
............Q9650+UD3P+OCing=heaven.........

I'd say that would be a good pick, from what I've read.
It's working great for my Q6600.

I already water cool my CPU but are there any extra cooling suggestions for the board itself? NB or SB? Preferably air.

I am speaking toward the UD3 not the 780i.

[MrDucky]

does anny one know's a good clock skew i tried 0 and 100 for cpu clockskew 0 and 1 also triend 100/200 and 1000/1000 the most stable until now is 0/100...

That is the truth. I just built a system last weekend with a UD3P and it totally cranks on Quads compared to the last six high end boards I have ran through recently. It seems to like 9550s as well.

[OC Nub]

I would go with the 9600PI's also.

[andressergio]

Cheers all

[OC Nub]

Very nice Sergio.

[the_real_7]

hey andressergio
I saw what ya said about the gskills 9600 , do you think i would even benefit at 4.0 with a high bandwith vs my tight timmings 4 4 4 10 perf 8 ? with a trfc at 52
hoss331 is helping try to push my current setup but for some reasom im getting locked up , would like your opionion being you really like this board like me and probaly passing over till i9 since your pushing just as fast as a i7 thanks

hola !!! happy new year mate...

yes i see hoss is trying to help all i can say to you mate is having 1200Mhz mem make lots of room for OC, ive seen lots of ppl very limited on OC with 1066mem, etc also gigaboard like some kind of mem, the ones that hoss have are awesome same as this Gskills PI9600, when i bought them costed me a fortune but i dont regret been benching them till 1300 using 2,4+ still runs awesome and run cool than other sticks i saw...

Try them you wont regret

Other thing you gotta consider is that not all chips are the same nor mobos...sometimes you got stucked by something else, thats the reason i prefeer mem that can do great OC even pushing lots of volts on the chip. But this is just inmo.

Cheers
Sergio

[the_real_7]

thanks sergio make alot of sense hmmm I might just have to hit the button on these , if anything I wont lose performance but i should gain a bit , I looking to stick with this board awhile its really a fantastic board , hopping its not my q9650 hitting its limit at 4.0
