Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[NoGuru]

That's my baby! Told ya it's simple the best

Yeah it's great! Maybe it thinks it's a duel core, it sure clocks like one.

I can't thank you enough.

A quick bench session http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1151229

Congrats NoGuru i was waiting for a bench

I switched from a HX1000 to a HX850 and I'm still stable with the same bios settings, so it was prolly something else in your case (unless you got a faulty unit ofcourse). My 5870 actually clocked slightly higher at the same volts AFAIK. Not scientificly tested though. Never did a before/after test, but it felt that way. Might have been a placebo too Overall I'm still happy with my HX850 though

i have the same amazing PSU the HX850

I will have more time next week to really put a hurt on it.

NoGuru,amazing OC.i always thought jor's chip was in a different league
than the rest of ours.cant wait to see some more of your resultsby the look's
of it,the chip is in great hands.im glad you got it,at least you'll push it to it's max

Thanks radaja. I will push it, but I don't have Jar3's skills yet to push it to the max. I am going to try and save for some WC. I'm a bit clueless on what to get, but I am doing some research now.

[radaja]

awesome.WCing is the way to go with a gem like that.
yea i was confused by what to get but it's not really that hard to figure
out just waht you need.i asked members here for advice and people like
zsamz and andressergio,helped me out quite a bit.so feel free to
ask questions

Thanks guys. I already bought a D-TEK waterblock. It's a Fuzion V1, but for $20 I
could not pass it up.

didnt know Jor was a geezer

lots of love in this page
not a gay thang

grats Noguru on the cherry

i still hate gigabut
but i like the udrX

what lol
did i say somethin wrong
you callin him daddy
gigabut didnt make a good board till the ud3X series
took em over 10 years of lemons
my first gigabut p45 craped out but that was expected

Finally got around to doing so more dice testing and got a new best for spi 1m. I was planning on doing a max speed run also but didnt get around to it, hopefully tomorrow night.

[E-mil]

bravo Hoss331

[radaja]

Hoss331,thats some awesome quadcore fsb action for sure.i couldnt even get my last two
UD3P's to do fsb above 550 using a dualcore.simply put,WOW

[NoGuru]

Hoss, great score. What ram are you using?

[In-Fluence]

A 5Ghz+ SPI run, Very nicely done Hoss!

I've persuaded an old friend to ship me a USB3 board now which will be my last 775 board for certain. I'm not hoping for more success in benching, I just love the colours they've used and know it'll look great in my case. Keep pushing hoss, how's your max CPUz coming along?

*edit scratch that - just seen it 5.1+GHz - go Hoss!

Thanks

I cant complain its my original P board and it still puts up the FSB numbers, hopefully my ddr3 board will also when it gets its chance.

Hoss, great score. What ram are you using?

The ram is radajas old PC8000 C4 Cellshocks (D9s).

I actually had a 8.907 run done at 5.103 but it locked on me just before I could click save in paint. I was low on ice so Ill get it next go around and try for a new max validation, with the way its running im thinking a 5.2 is within reach.

[NoGuru]

The dreaded lock up before the save. I have faith you will get it next time.

After reading through many of the posts on this thread I realized that I wasn't just dreaming on getting my Q9650 above 3.6GHz...I previously had it running on an MSI P43-Neo3F, but nothing I did would let me go above 3.7. After reading many of the posts here, I knew I should be able to get more out of it and I became convinced that I was being limited by the low native bus speeds of my board and DRAM (PC2-8500)

After a quick trick to the local Fry's, I picked up a Gigabyte EP45T-USB3P and some brand new DDR3, with the push of a button I was up to 3.8GHz, and with a little extra on the CPU voltage I run 4.05GHz with almost no effort. This PROC is AWSOME!

I'm now Prime95 stable at 3.8 for daily use with ocassional desired to see it at 4.05GHz - hav'n't completley stabilized the 4GHz setting yet as I get a spontaneous reboot when running Prime but generally very happy with this chip - thanks all for your various posts and input that convinced me that under the right environment my chip was capable of much more than I was getting.

Yeah with that board you can get this chip pretty high. Post your settings and we can help you tweak them. Oh, and welcome

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

I am having a problem with my USB3P, I can't set the command rate to anything but 2T. Every time I try to change it, in windows it is always 2T.

I even tried using Memset to change it and it will not allow me to change it as well. The option is available in the drop box but when I choose it, it still comes up as 2T.

I have tried looking for a beta bios or any other bios other than F1 to try, because it seems the memory dividers are botched on this board, only 3.20B works for me.

[radaja]

i know on intel chipsets with ddr2 1t is not allowed,but i just checked through the UD3P thread
and still cant find any ddr3 boards using the 1t.all their SS show 2t.but i will keep looking for you
EDIT:
according to 3oh6 his board had the option but wouldnt run 1t either.
P45 and DDR3??
