a Q9550 for $150

If you want a q9650 for a good price PM me , I kept the 3 I had been using in case I went back to s775 but doesnt look like I will be. Also have 2 kits of 9600 pi's.

[NoGuru]

In case anyone else is looking for a Q9550... MicroCenter has some in stock at the Fairfax, Twin Cities, and Detroit stores.

To bad I live in Ohio

WOW that is cheap! I live 20 minutes from the Detroit store.

Just in case this is still a problem for anyone, two guys at OCN found the fix for the missing CPU-Z info on the mainboard tab. Turn off quick boot in the BIOS and the info will then be displayed in CPU-Z.

Really, so would you want to run by there and pick me up a good one?

[mistargill]

just bought this board from radaja at OCN. I would like to prepare early . Could anyone share their settings for q9650?
Will I need to get this ram? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231271

Did u mean u like the mushkin but do go for the g skill?

[radaja]

yes the g.skill pc9600 Pi's are better.there are lots of great templates in this thread you just need
to read through it.a lot of Q9650 users posted templates for new guys to get a handle on their new cpu's

Whut.......... andressergio has left Q9xxx/p45 ?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo

Gigabyteros, el P45 o la Tumba!!
Libertad o con gloria morir!
Es el Overclock que el alma pronuncia,
Y que heroicos sabremos cumplir!

PS: Gigabyte, srsly, officially update the USB3P BIOS before more people split, kthnx.

Hello , ive been a long time reader and member at XS but never post
I havent updated the bios on my UD3P since i got it couple months back. What Bios version is everyone finding to be the best overclocker ?

[zodden]

Its hard to believe that this thread is still so active! It's a testament to how good this board is

I am still chugging along at 525x8 for almost 2 years of 24/7 use! I look at my first post in this thread right after the OP's back in Oct of 2008 and can't believe how time flies!

Anyway I can report good things about beta bios F11c. It's the first bios I have liked since F5a. My endless reboot issues when my external USB HD is connected is fixed, my OC is as stable as before.

Zodden, can you share your bios config, we have the same ram and cpu...my ud3p's a v1.6/FE (bios)

you have a 1.6 but very workable , can we see your bios template , youlll get the answers here after that real quick

It was prime95 stable @4.0 for months, but it crashed a few times when I tried to install XP Pro to triple boot with Win7/Linux Mint KDE-

The problem was XP didn't like AHCI enabled-

Afterwards, I started getting dropped internet connections, corrupt backups, and computer freezes/lockups-

So, I decided to re-flash the bios and start over-

Here's what I have so far-

Zodden, can you share your bios config, we have the same ram and cpu...my ud3p's a v1.6/FE (bios)

If you search this thread (look for posts from late October 2008) you will find my bios config. Look on page 2 of this thread-midway down you will see all my settings.

I haven't changed it at all since then, except to flash to various other bios-none of which I liked till recently.

wow zodden,you haven't posted for quite some time.
its because of you i was able to get my first 500fsb stable OC
you were the first one to point out the mch ref setting in the
beginning of the thread,and for that i thank you

i also like to point out,the 0.700vET6/0.750vbios MCH ref setting
has worked on all my 9-10 boards using dual core except for one
and my q9650's all loved 0.785/cpu ref and 0.800v/mch ref 100%
again thanks

Welcome! I remember that week. It was frustrating and I was benching almost 24/7 for that whole week I was off from work. I am glad I solved it though for myself and for everybody else. Somebody would have figured it out eventually

I am thinking of looking for a used 9650 for a quick bang for your buck upgrade. I was also reading on HardOCP that x8 x8 for crossfire showed no testing difference then x16 x16 in a recent article. On this board if you run 2 vid cards it runs both in x8- So I might get a used 9650, a copy of windows 7 and when the 6 series comes out from ATI, some new vid cards for gaming. That seems like a pretty painless and less expensive upgrade path for now

Just had that setup runs great , sold my 9650 and my scored dropped 6000 points in 3dmark with my e8400 . .. so that upgrade will just kick ass. makes no difference like [H] about the 8 x 8 and 16 x 16

(from another forum) -->

""Gigabyte kindly supplied me with new beta BIOS versions for X58A-UD7 and P55-UD6 for us to test...im passing this bios to you to test as a beta, no support at this time from GBT BUT it was tested by them to cure the SMART issue.
If this bios tests out OK GBT will add this fix to their whole range of boards...""

""the BIOS SMART command error is present with my Vertex 2 LE, Firmware 1.11 and GigaByte GA-EP45T-USB3P. SATA is set to AHCI mode""

Guess I'll have to check the beta-bios 2010 .de "site" way more often now : http://oldforum.gigabyte.de/forumdow...tabios2010.htm
