read my last post on page 4.

Tatty simulate a Q9550 for me the E0 are out and I want to see how high you can get your fsb for 24/7 8.5x 471 FSB would be good.

God your just so demanding!.....................OK!

 

[Tatty_Two]

Ok.....Simulating an E0 stepping 9550

Right, well never tried her on an 8.5 multi so just guessed settings ans overvolted to be on the safe side, she will do this on a lot less voltage, at this speed on a 9x multi she will run at over 4gig at 1.26V so should do near to that with the 8.5x multi................ohhhh and idles temps fairly high only because I am in a small study with the central heating on!

thats looks like a good buy at 300.00

 

[Tatty_Two]

Then I thought, I would again, just guess what it would take for that elusive 500FSB on a quad at 8.5 multi so again, overvolted to be safe....no tweaks.........

 

[Tatty_Two]

Getting back to the 9x multi now

This is about the best I can do booting to windows, the temps are getting a bit frightening now on air, I dont think it's an FSB limit with the quad on this board although for a quad I think it's a quite impressive FSB, I also dont like putting this much voltage thru her TBH, I am sure if I start tweaking the CPU GTL reference voltage dividers I would be able to decrease my Vcore so I suppose thats next.

I can boot to windows with this VCore and then set the FSB in windows and get over 4.6gig but thats too synthetic for me because as soon as I double click on a proggie it BSOD's so pointless IMO.

4.0ghz would be plenty.

Tatty whats the next step?

Tatty whats the next step?

Have you done what I mentioned in post 100? if so, can you answer please.

Hello Tatty!

can you see my post 111? what i did was run orthos 1st memory run and it stop and 2nd cpu run and it stop.

the data was a report from orthos. was this what you have asked for?

tks

Sorry, yes thanks, so it's failing on memory and CPU....hmmm, I am at work right now (got called in for an emergency), once I get home we can go through some more stuff.

hi all..in about a week i'm getting my strike II extreme mobo and the q9650 cpu..I'd like to know the settings to overclock at least to 4 ghz..i'm an amd boy with phenom 9850 o/ced to 3.0 ghz and i feel dissapointed..i know intel is a different platform so i'd like to learn some things to overclock..i have 4 gigs of geil ultra 800 mhz 4-4-4-12 ram..2.1v (4X1GB)
So anyone would like to tell me some settings?

You need to find someone familiar with your board to get your board settings, once you have the chip, let me know the batch number and production date. I can help with some CPU specifics, voltages etc once I know the batch, your first task must be to google around for 45nm quad results on your motherboard to get some settings.

 

[kiddyoverclocker93]

i've searched on google but i can't find something..i heard that the asus strike II formula is the best card for overclock..is that true?and is it difficult to overclock q9650 to 4ghz?

Well it's a 790i Ultra, I just sold the XFX version so yes they are good overclockers, but I would not necessarily say the best, the best quad overclocking boards can do 500+mhz with a quad, maybe the striker can, IDK (My board can ), there is an experienced overclocker in these forums with the Striker, his username is DaMulta, drop him a PM, I'm sure he would help.
No, with the right board, the Q9650 is pretty easy to overclock.

hello Tatty!

i cant get stable on the 4.2ghz can you help?

hmm..there's a lot of voltage there!try lower your ram mhz and timings..i think 4 ghz should be enough..no need for 4.2 ghz!what's your mobo chipset?
