too bad highest end penryn series for normal users, i mean q9550 are only 8.5x multiplier also... very hard to OC nicely compare to Q6600 which have 9x multiplier...

Agreed. 45nm quad hard to oc due to low multiplier

-pWs-

i wouldn't say its hard to OC, since it uses less volts, runs cooler due to a new material used in its transistors, with all that it would dump less heat.

so, if you wanna go like 24 hr 7 days a week setup with say, 400fsb, its pretty attractive

but for maximum OC, and benching, it kinda suxxors

I am doing 440x7.5 w my Q9300.
Is it acceptable for 24/7??

-pWs-

whether it is acceptable or not is totally depend on u.. if u think that speed is enuff for u, and most importantly stable for ur 24/7 usage, then okeylah .. just make sure that absolute max vtt for 45nm quad is 1.45v when ur vcore is 1.45v. else u risk killing ur proc


rite now i'm at 470x8 and so far 4x super PI 32m passed..

Thanks for the info.

Vcore: 1.20v (Full Load)
VTT: 1.16v

Btw bro, any idea to clock more? I tried increase VTT to 1.2v, Vcore and Vmch. But still failed at 3412MHz.

-pWs-

how bout other setting? gtl reference? vnb?

Vcore: 1.23v (Full load) Vnb: 1.41v Vtt: 1.23v

GTL = 67%
FSB = 455

Any idea?

-pWs-

I want to see max SPI 1M.I have try X3350 with DFI LP LT X38-T2R before,440 no post after tweak tweak(With help of coolice and bryaneyeo87)

try increase ur vtt a lil bit.. to let say 1.3..

no prob for me.. i even managed to run 4x 32m super PI at 470x8.. rite now i already back to default bcoz mess up with the vanderpool..

here is the screenies of 470x7 32mins of prime95




later i try run super PI 1m at the highest fsb + clock possible.. btw bear in mind that my temp is damn hot bcoz i'm just using the stock cooling haha.. no money to buy proper cooling..

Alright. Will try later.
Thanks

quick run of super PI 1m @ 471x8, ram @ auto

Nice clock you have there.
May I know the setting you use??

-pWs-

vcore 1.36
cpu gtl 0/2 0.66
cpu gtl 1/3 0.66
cpu pll 1.5
vtt 1.34
vdimm 1.5
nb 1.41
nb gtl 0.67
sb auto
clock overcharging auto
loadline normal


timing, subtiming all auto..


473x8..

@irenic
ur temperature is abit ... not scared of degration?...

Thanks but i want to see 490x8 action

temp is still ok for short term usage..

haha u want to see ? u try urself la.. hahaha

@lichyetan

FYI, to reduce the vdroop problem, you should disable the vdroop control option.

No cooling and processor to try now Now can't do any oc with stock intel copper core hsf,3.6ghz load already 66 C
