Having fun with QX9650.
 

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 :p).

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:)

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

I sure looks like a winner :woot:

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

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.

² That, OCTB needs more exposure :D |D

and what about 1.7 ?

:p

Insane CPU man, insane!

Benchsession ended, all benchmarks done (I think :)).
Now, LN² needed here.....

very nice score, you put Belgium on 10th place in HWBOT :D

I need 2 9800GX2's :)

when will you get them ??

:-)

In due time, in due time :)

good to see the man is still possessed!|D|D|D

Just bought some new toy's :

Asus Striker II NSE 790i SLI Sockel 775 1 Piece
Sparkle 512MB 9800GTX PCIe 2 Piece
2048MB DDR3RAM OCZ ReaperX HPC PC1333 CL 6 1 Piece

some buy Porsches, others PC hardware;)

I'm just soooo jealous :o

Must... not... follow... Gamer... :no:


I'm skipping current generation and want to be back with next gen gpu's :)

Nah, could be fun though.
I'm missing the battle with Calantak, maybe your my next victim :p

Competition is good :D Also for our hwbot team.

Only one thing really stops me for the moment and that is time. Same for reviews btw. It's no use buying expensive stuff that you can't get make time for to actually install it, let alone bench it or use it.

victim? I sure never was anybody's victim, I got on top quite a few times also :p
first one to 10.000 3dmarks2001, where's the time?

Seems like you guys are talking prehistorical times here ... I know you, Calantak, only from oral history and myths :p :D

Are you ever going to join the fun again?

better for him to do not so, he wouldn't be able to follow the young breed...

don't think so. better to keep the myth alive than to return and be ko'ed first round :love:

if you put 1% of your energy in OC, which you use 100% for your job, you will fly to the top ranks in less than a week:)

Better don't wake him up :)

let sleeping dogs lie :-)))

they bite in the blink of an eye |D

How good were you? :p

how good will one be without a budget limit;)

How good was he? :p

if he was benching now, he would be above Gamer;)

Yep, he would have bought the QX9750 :)

Nono, how good was he? (talking about the past :p)

few times n1 or very near :)

Gamer, I forgot to send your memory kit ... :-/. I'll send it this tuesday, okay?

Not needed in the near future, DDR3 remember.
The team can use it for now.

QX9770 inbound too, only for a week.
Testing with phase, hope I can do some damage :p
