Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[CryptiK]

Nice work, my P5Q-D topped out at 473 FSB, but it isn't a great example and had an A2 rev NB. Does your board have an A2 or A3 rev NB? (check CPUZ in mainboard tab). Is it prime 95 large FFT stable?

[grishenko45]

i've got the A2 nb!!!! gonna get 4.4Ghz out of this beast - i've had it at 480mhz this week and trying to stablize it - but 470 is good 4 my 24/7 - until 480 is stable!!!!!!

its 20 linx loops stable and i only do 6-8 hours P95 as its a waste to stress HW for that long as its never going to happen in games etc..

[grishenko45]

sorry cryptik - to answer your original q - i think i use large fft yes - i'm not using blend as my ram is running 1:1

Guys! I`ve just bought Q9650!
Batch is L842B847.

enjoy it mate and buy a giga board

[CryptiK]

Nice one, hopefully you'll like it

Congrats she is a lil beastie lot of fun to play with

I will get to home on Sunday Some numbers soon

well I have been waiting for my cpu pot to get here so I can put my i5 650 and the memory under cold for the Gigabyte H55N challenge, so instead of waiting around I hooked up my 775 rig which is new to me.

Nkresho's old chip (C batch, 1.15 VID), UD3R and GSkill PI 9600's




I can not run linx as it gets too hot even under my loop (EK Supreme HF>Swiftech Micro Res>XSPC RX360 rad w/ 6 SanAce fans in push pull>MCP655) and just restarts however prime blend is looking great

[CryptiK]

That is an awesome cpu. Nice work.

Thats a great chip, you will enjoy it. I still have my C chip from that same batch, they do run hot.

Very nice Q9650

[papatsonis]

all this batch L847C are very good clockers if you could beat the temps :S, still to find time to get a good breath to build my watercooling, but my temps 3.2/1volt linx->~60... push-pull ultra 120x@ 1000rpm, dictate a watercooling setup as fast as possible...

then you will need to sell me the chip,i will run LinX for you no problems cooling hereJ/K
anyways super awesome OC!!! you got yourself an awesome cpu

thanks radaja and I will keep that in mind as I have another Q9650 to test also a C batch that will be incoming shortly. I might send you the low VID and see if you can get it in the linx 4.5 stable club because I am not having good luck.

[CryptiK]

Yeah I have an L847C too, it's very hot

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

Yeah I have an L847C too, it's very hot

what is the VID?

[CryptiK]

Vid = 1.2125

[andressergio]

great so see this thread alive again

*congrats on the chip l0ud

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

Vid = 1.2125

that seems like a good VID for either air or water

I think NKresho got the best chip that I have seen from that C batch. I doubt though without some kind of xtreme cooling it will do 4.5ghz linx. My chip is a 1.175vid, it passed blend at 4500mhz 14hrs but have tried many times to get it to pass linx at 4500, temps get to hot and it just wont do it, even with cold AC blowing on my rad. Only reason to keep trying would be to get the chip in that linx thread, other than that I prefer a good blend run over linx any day to test stability.

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

*congrats on the chip l0ud

super stable and I think I can lower some volts


It is so nice to finally find a golden chip.

Well I am going to get on that list one way or the other with a Yorkie, I have an F1EE coming this week, as well as another C batch Q9650 with a 1.23 VID so it is very cool running chip and I think one of those will do it.

[grishenko45]

thats impressive L0ud!!! what sort of voltages are you using - PLL,vTT,GTLs etc....

and have you run linx yet??? interesting to know the sort of Gflops this beast pumps out!!

[radaja]

thanks,i hope when you decide i will be in the position to take advantage of your offer.would be nice to have another low vid chip.

Yeah I have an L847C too, it's very hot

yep,the hotter the better for me
