its alive...its alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL.. after fighting with PUSH AND PINS CPU COOLER i managed to put it work...tested some games and 3d vantage..everything slightly increased ...Especially FALLOUT 3, Assassin Creed; Far Cry 2, Company of Heroes, Stalker:CS has better performance now..and Supreme Commander...Ohh and fcking damn GTA4 is from now on BEATEN by me

it plays damn good!

Not sure but Sacred 2 is not using all cores..damn GTA4 especially uses all damn CORES!

I wonde what is that X stands for

nvlddmkm · 04-25-2009, 00:25 | posts: 3,698 | Location: Indiana | User is Offline

It denotes the processor as having an unlocked multi.

Mr.Bigtime · 04-25-2009, 02:08 | posts: 10,123 | Location: Turkey | User is Offline

i see...

Anyway, i hope we will able to see more CORE OPTIMIZED games in the future because this is kick ass!

That's really not very impressive. Show me proof that those clocks are real, and that the systems are actually stable/usable at those speeds. Then I'll be impressed. I can push my Q9550 to 4ghz....problem is, it will only last long enough to get Validated beyond 3.2ghz. Really no reason to get excited about extreme OC's without proof of stability.

Well then, you'll need to get the posters to prove their results to you for your satisfaction.......

That's like me doing this.

CPU-Z validation at 3.2ghz here http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=553834

yet, as far as anyone knows, it was only overclocked long enough to submit for validation. Let's just all completely forget the fact that I'm anti-OC for a minute and realize that I only OC'd to make a point and my system was returned to stock clocks immediately after validation.

Yeah, I suppose if they don't show benchmarks and/or stability tests then the validations really aren't valid.

Guys i got news for u..from me lol.

As i said many times i was not able to OC my CPU..not even 30 MHZ..as some of u and my other friends said; my 4 (all) RAM SLOTS r FULL and it makes my system unstable...i took off 2 of my rams 2x2(4GB) and OC my CPU, so my RAMSPEED to 740 MHZ(its 667 normally)..and now my CPU is 2.96 and working like a cahrm..no crash..no problems...and i benched with sisoftsandra, just CPU..even better than q9550 with 1 points lol..imoaa.anyway...i will stress it with some games today..

My QUESTION here is:

i dont want to leave my 8GB emperor..dont question it pls... i DONT WANT... Please tell me..is it true that my system is unstable becasue of ALL SLOTS r FULL? or 8GB is unstable? i mean, what if i put 2x 4GB rams to only 2 slots? so it may work or another FAIL? well i even not sure if my ASUS P5B will supoort single 4GB rams ..according to asus website they only tested some specific rams..well well current and previous rams r also not in their list but they run fine..HELP people..advice pls.

Yes it is possible, trying increasing your north bridge/mch voltabe by 0.1 or 0.2v, otherwise it could simply be that some of your (8GB) ram doesn't like to be overclocked with tight timings so you could try loosening your timings to 5-5-5-18 or slightly higher.

Hmm. i wil try about wat u say... GTA 4 has over + 10 FPS in the SAFE house street place...incredible.i wonder what happens if i OC q9400 to 3.5 GHZ!

Mr.Bigtime · 01-13-2010, 03:05 | posts: 10,123 | Location: Turkey | User is Offline

i think iam getting a Q9650 soon. wonder if there will be a IMPACT difference between 9400 and 9650 :/

ibitato · **Memory**: 4x2GB@1080 5.5.5.15 5:6

bigger cache so not for everything....... 9650 better multi so better /easier oc....
do you OC?
for gaming, I don't think you0ll notice much; not worth it IMO (for gaming)

Mr.Bigtime · 01-13-2010, 03:29 | posts: 10,123 | Location: Turkey | User is Offline

no i dont OC. i cant with these damn mobo and 8GB combination...well a friend of mine asking for my current q9400...and i thought maybe i give him this and i get a q9650 but hmm...we still didnt talked about the price i will see to him..

anwyay..i was googling around and yes not too much difference at all :/

might have to adjust the voltages a bit too, do not have them on auto by default, because the motherboards usually give more than needed, start off with 1.100vcore which is the default for your processor, you can safely turn it up to around 1,35vcore , unless like you said you have such ****ty tempretures because your fan isn't correctly mounted or there's not enough thermal grease applied. Check it with RealTemp, it's usually quite accurate.

I use auto on my P5Q and it changes to 1.248V@3.6GHz. What temps are you getting using real temp? Mine vaires depending on what I'm doing but idle just surfin the net and stuff I hover around 40C. Gaming I go up to 50 to 55C @ 3.6GHz. Stress Testing, I jump to around 80C give or take and have hit as high as 100C with IBT. I'm using stock Intel cooling.

Mr bigtime i think a Q9550 is better than a Q9650 because the difference you have to pay for the .5 multiplier it´s just not worth it! Buy an Q9550 and overclock it a little to 3.0Mhz and you have yourself an Q9650 for 50€ less...

As for overclocking the CPU, this is something that i really recommend for everyone that as one of those puppies!!! Just buy better memories and shoot for the magic 4.0Mhz!!! Otherwise, i´m going to be really disappointed...

Mr.Bigtime · 01-14-2010, 13:36 | posts: 10,123 | Location: Turkey | User is Offline

I cant oc man. Cant even 10 mhz. It just crashes. Reason is my all ram slots r full. And i dont have idea about how to oc my cpu. Voltages etc. No idea. If there wa a GUIDE TO OC ASUS P5B MOTHERBOARD. LOL.Damn.

Just to let you know: your E8400 would outperform that Q9400, in benches and games. Your friend was right about the cache. Rather a decent overclock on that E8400, and you'd be on a roll.

EDIT: Also, the overclocking thing... Yeah, my P35 based board wouldn't do that with 45nm quads either. Not even 10MHz. It seems to be a common problem with slightly older boards. And yours is P965 based, yes? I think that's even older, so in that case... Yeah, you should indeed have sticked to the E8400

Mr.Bigtime · 01-14-2010, 14:47 | posts: 10,123 | Location: Turkey | User is Offline

Hu? I dont regret mate. Why? Do i sound like iam unhappy? Lol no way

. Im happy with my system. And yes it is p965

you need to tweak with fsb:ram ratio so it stays around 667mhz.
Do you have this option to chose various multipliers?

edit: maybe this video of bios might help a bit, if it looks like yours.

I will look at it when iam at office mate. Im on mobile now. Thank u very much.

EDIT:

HMM looks similar..but for an example i dont have that MEMORY CLOCK MODE. he choose LINKED..i dont have it..but looks similar.

and i watch this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iGR-fgOVwc
interesting...,

i think my problem is VOLTAGE issues..i dont change them lol..and can i set my ram auto? it doesnt accept higher stuff..man this is so hard..wish one of u come here and help me

LuckyJack_tx · 01-15-2010, 08:18 | posts: 17 | Location: Houston,TX | User is Offline

I also agree with the q9550. Have it at 4.2ghz currently. Gotta love the Gigabyte Ep45-UD3P

take a look here, ok i know its not the same mobo but the bios is kinda the same and its a great review,..

you might wanna ask there for a tweak or 2, they're very friendly and when i asked one question i got a quick response,.. i would like to help but i'm a noob when it comes to asus bios

Mr.Bigtime · 01-15-2010, 23:56 | posts: 10,123 | Location: Turkey | User is Offline

u helped alot already my friend. thank u alot. yesterday i manage to make my CPU run at 3.0 GHZ for the first time but whn i run PRIME95 stress tests it crashed

.. when i increase FSB my RAM speeds increase too..there is no option to INLINK both..if there was a way to UNLINK each other i would OC easly
