[andressergio]

Ah ok. Looks like you will be having some fun with it anyway, congrats.

great fun

i managed to drop vcore i love this chip :o) see how programs reports temps in dif way

X3380@ 4009(422x9,5) at vcore load/idle 1,184



X3380@ 4057(427x9,5) at vcore load/idle 1,20

I'm glad to see you're enjoying the new toy. Looks like the new chip does 4ghz without breaking a sweat, very nice Sergio.

i have exact the same voltages stable with my Q9550 VID 1.1375. but looks promising

lol ET6 keeps remembering my first boot at 4817 lol with all volts i used...dont know how to make it read same as im using

Newer version of ET6 are crap...i installed a B09 one but i remember i've used a very good one B08 ish...that i dont have anymore

That's very nice for a first boot mate - didn't know about this thread...
1.40 for vtt is absolutely lovely for 4.8....means the CHIP will last...
where did you get your's from if I may ask????

Thanks

Thanks mate i started to learn it as its different from my Q9650 so i started at low volts 4000+ and tuning and more tuning, after i have a base and learn it i will pump up

well it was a birthday present

Agreed, new et6 really SUCKS!! et6 caused my ud6 board to go into the only boot loop it has had, as soon as I moved the slider to up vcore it locked up.

been testing and tweaking to learn this new beast amazing chip temps under 50C at 23,8C ambient with tons of heat outside, very hot summer here...

this is 2hs blend and still going to 3hs

4GHz come on man wind her up a bit You're turning into a grandpa like me lol.

[the_real_7]

Well after topping out at 4300 stable and figuring out my ram limitations that where actually quite good if i need to push to 4500 .. Im back at 4.0 lowering my vtt and and reference as low as possible to see how low I cant get my vcore , once I hit that I'm go back up 100mhz at a time adjusting vtt and vcore as needed to stable at higher speeds ... here's last night results not the best but not the worst either

Intel Q9650 @ 4050 4 4 4 10 1.1 Stable Setup A

Coretemp sometimes reads the low vid rather than the high vid. You need to have a screen of real temp showing min and max vids

Yes i saw that i have some nice low vids but all nice clockers but high heat, im very happy of this X3380 vid 1,20 its a very nice combo of temps and clocks it boots at 5ghz so easy i cant believe it

Hey guys!

I just got my UD3P installed and now I am looking for some suggestions! I have the Ballistix Red Tracer Ram 2x2GB. Anyone know some good timings/settings to start with?

4750Mhz is just a joke


Max 24/7 I took out of my Q9650 was 4680Mhz otherwise it would explode the WC system into flames. Nicely done Sergio!

well this will be my 24/7 working on that
i adjusted everest Tjmax to 100C so it shows same temps as all, this didnt happened on my Q9650 before all showed the same

[andressergio]

Well im happy could never did this on 25+C ROOM temp on my other quad no Air Condioner at all this Xeon is awesome

im heading to my 24/7 searching some stability



Cheers mates

OK everyone there is a ton of post for this proc, and overclocking it. I need help i am really new to overclocking, and all the lingo, but i have followed your guys instruction to overclock my I7. now i have finely bought my wife a new proc (she's been using a p4 on a Striker Extreme mother board for 3 or 4 years now). we are water cooling her PC. I see you all have manage to get it 4.5-4.9 for 24/7, so that is my goal. I need help. please can someone give me a step, by step info on how i can archive this goal, what i need to change, and at what increments to get there, also what to watch out for.

Thank you all for the help.
MOB - Striker Extreme (water cooled)
BIOS - 1901
Proc - Q9650 3.0GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W
mem- DDR2 800mhz Mushkin 4g
Video - 7950GT 512m

4.5-4.9 will be hard on the striker extreme.almost all here getting those frequencies are using the gigabyte EP45-UD3P/R's
sorry i cant help as ive never used the striker extreme.good luck
