QX9650 Question...

prime81 · Jul 21, 2008

I was able to get my hands on one

Batch is L744B180

Pack Date 6-9-08

Any ideas how this bad boy will clock?

i686 · Jul 21, 2008

hi'
I heard and read that it reaches 3.4ghz on stock volt

Surely you meant 4.3? Because that would only be a 400mhz OC on stock volts for a $1000 processor.

I doubt so. Stock is like 1.28? If that CPU can reach 4.3 at 1.28, then 1.45 would be like 5.4?

Nightraven had one like that (L744B180) before it died...

seems like a good cpu for ln2

p.s. I got my hands on one too...I just have to wait to get some more ln2 and I can see what it will do for me.

What's the max multi? 15?

Yes max multiplier is 15.

You can refer to the datasheet at this link for more detailed information if you desire...

Remember also that the QX6850 is the 65nm core like the Q6600 rather than the newer 45nm core like the Q9450's. As such, they use up a bit more voltage and put off a bit more heat at the same clockspeed.

So yeah, somewhere around 3.2-3.4 is where they stop at absolutely stock voltage. That's not to say you couldn't certainly get more though, just as long as you have the cooling and the cajones to be mean to it :beer:

I've got an L744B166 which does 4 ghz easy at 1.28v.

prime81 · Jul 21, 2008

We shall see! I would love to do 4ghz at 1.28vcore on a quad, that would be quite sexy.

Damn, that's gotta be the lowest vCore 4Ghz quad overclock I've ever seen :drool:

I'm relatively sure that's not the norm though

Gautam · Jul 21, 2008

It's not that special...remember, these are QX9650's (45nm) we're talking about. QX's are binned pretty well too.

Brolloks · Jul 21, 2008

I was priming my 45nm Quad (non-Extreme) at 4.050 Ghz and 1.248 v last night

prime81 · Jul 21, 2008

Dam your NDA lol

Albuquerque · Jul 21, 2008

Oh that's right, I was still thinking about the Kentsfield core. Not even sure why i was..

So yeah, those puppies work a lot better with the lower volts

It is obscene how fast these quads are...takes the challenge to the next level, 4.5 is my new challenge for quads

Gautam · Jul 21, 2008

Challenge huh?

Wanna race Ed?

This is actually one I did just for you last weekend to cheer Collin up. (ignore the reported vcore, it's actually more like 1.45v, dunno why CPU-Z reads goofy on 790i) Just air...

Don't feel too bad about Brolloks' teasers prime, the QX9650 is a solid CPU, and the multiplier freedom is a boon with quad cores. I just hope for your sake that you got it at a good price.

prime81 · Jul 21, 2008

Got it new fer $750 Retail Box

Brolloks · Jul 21, 2008

Bring it on Gautum

Albuquerque · Jul 21, 2008

Looks like he's got ya beat Brolloks

0.2sec faster in SuperPi =

Brolloks, I know you've got that wonderful chip on a P45 motherboard right now which is giving you some excellent FSB's -- have you tried it on an X38/X48? I'm just curious how much better the P45 is versus the chip itself.
