I have a GTX285 and im just waay under your score, I think i have around 17k on my Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz.. I guess this means your set up performs significantly better than mine ?

maybe because of the CPU, might increase score a lot. What do you think?

nice overclock wolf! Temps are not that bad, however have you tried anything that stresses it more? Im' curious to see how high they get.

I have, it has passed a few 'quick' runs through LinX topping out just over 70 degrees, basically a couple of really short stress tests and I move onto seeing if she's gaming stable. Temps really aren't a worry because without a stress test I can make this i7 work nearly 100% :laugh:

Wolf, do you have any problems booting over 200bclk? My P6T6 seems to hang every once in a while and really starts giving me problems over 210bclk. I set the pcie to 103 and up the pcie ioh voltage up to 1.54-1.56. It seems to help but still has problems.

Havent had any issues booting over 200 BCLK yet, tried up to 210 with a lowered multi when I first got the chip, and settled for 200x21 for a lengthy burn in.

I used Asus Turbo-V to upp the BCLK and vcore during Windows, worked a charm, I just had to lower my ram speed while trying to find an OC higher than 200 BCLK.

Once I'm well satisfied with ~4333mhz, next step, 4.4 :eek:

cant wait

mastrdrver · Sep 7, 2009

Yea, I could use TurboV to up the bclk over 200. I have the problem once I set it in the bios.

That is odd, what Bios version are you running?

let me guess, below 1.05v? :toast:

I do wish my chip were as good as yours.... however I'm contemplating chucking this chip on a Giga UD5...

mastrdrver · Sep 7, 2009

That was 0409 on the P6T6. I flashed to the newest posted bios on Asus' site that added support to the Xeons that allow you to change vvt. I got a couple of more options out of the newer bios. The nice thing is I can turn on C-states and it runs a lot cooler at <12% load. I'm getting sub 40s on all cores with HT on and 1.28125 vCore. Never got that low before and didn't change the cooler or fan.

Flash your board to extreme and you'll see that your overclocks are a bit more stable , although i can't prove that , i just have the feeling

Btw. your chip isn't that bad?

0.94375v in BIOS and I'm testing my memory @ 1500Mhz 7-6-7-20 . OCCT stable with x36 multiplier for the QPI but now testing x44 QPI

Off to bed , almost 4AM here, I have school tomorrow

good luck with oc'ing guys

This 965 is a different beast than the 920's I had. Having issues keeping it stable. So far:

I know the ram is good, as I had Memtest86 run for about 34 hours on it the other day. When I try to run Prime095 on it though, I get a BSOD, with a 0x00000101 code. Anybody got any ideas on what that one is & how to fix it? Something about one of the cores took to long to respond. Memory dump doesn't even happen on this one - it tries, but never gets past 0%.

kid41212003 · Sep 7, 2009

Since the stepping is old, it should reach the same limit with the 920 with the same kind of cooling, you will need some beastly cooling to get more MHz out of that EX (when using the same multi as 920).

If i were you I would try these (incase you didn't):
Use a single vga card, and 1 stick of memory (less stress on the CPU), keep bsclock <160MHz, and multi > x21
Memtest86 doesn't stress CPU as much as Prime95, your memory can be stable by itself, but it might not when both cpu and memory is stressed in Prime95.
Most mobos don't officially support 12GB of memory at 1600MHz, it's usually 12GB at 1066MHz, or 6GB at 1600/1333, 3GB at 1800/2000.

For me:

101 = vcore too low
124 = vvt too low

Cool, I can wait

Okay ~ I am not sure what program to use (besides the temp in the BIOS) to check the northbridge temp. Any suggestions?

Deleted member 74752 · Sep 7, 2009

The 965 is a voltage freak...it wants it...it craves it. Mine will HT at these voltages, but she gets warm.

Dang Rick - your QPI is low! Bump that sucker up :toast:

You fooled me! I had to look twice and was like where the hell is it

It's just a game rig. I never even thought of benching it until recently lol. :laugh:

There! Happy now? :roll:

HammerON · Sep 7, 2009

Okay ~ I looked through "Event Viewer" trying to figure out why my system "froze" while I was away for the weekend. Any ideas?

mastrdrver · Sep 7, 2009

Go under custom views -> admin logs and see what is listed.

I have a P6T Deluxe V2 at the mo, but considering a Gigabyte board as they are easily my choice in brand but couldn't get my mits on a UD5 at the time.

Yeah my chip is'nt what you'd call bad I guess, just seems that most TPU'ers get the same speed on less volts than I can. Having said that I'm not at all unimpressed with 4+ghz stable using less than 1.4v at all times, that's so pleasing to see
