Having fun with QX9650.

Gamer · 1st April 2008, 20:41

Got it today, had to pay €152 taxes on it

But, it seems like it's a great clocker.
Vcore 1.5v in bios, 1.47v in cpu-z and I can do 3D06 (not finished yet).
Seems like we have a winner.
L739 745 is on the core (I think, forgot to look

).

I needed my moded prometeia to get these scores with a QX6850.

Pics and results later.

Can someone confirm this is a good overclock on air ?

sure is, 4Ghz+ on air, quad cores, impressive

Gamer · 1st April 2008, 21:14

air cooled PI, non tweaked, ram 1/1 5-5-5-15

I sure looks like a winner

jmke · 1st April 2008, 21:25

you have beaten Anandtech's record who did 4.6 with WATER cooling! When will we see the OC article

Gamer · 1st April 2008, 21:36

hehe, in due time.
Trying to get 9,99" here on air, don't know if I'm going to make it

Be sure to let us know if you notice any degradation with that chip... not even I would pump 1.528v into a 45nm chip, let alone 1.528v after vdroop.

Can't hurt if you don't use it 24/7.

if you can afford a new one, you can fire as much voltage in it as you want

1.4V is a limit for poor people

People modify their boards not to get their Vcore drooping, while the droop is in fact saving the CPU from overshooting voltage. I would definitely try 1,53V in bios, with Vdroop not 'shorted' that is.
