New 4.0Ghz 24/7 clock i will keep for a very long time


:toast::toast::toast::toast:

Ran the test a second time with 1.36volts on NB and 2.1volts on RAM



Looks like we have a extremely stable low voltage q9550 at 4.0Ghz.

need me to take screen shots on my bios to see if there is something done via that?

Also, watchdog is via when you change memory low gap settings. if you don't know yet..

What is that?

And do you know what the i-limit jumpers are for?

Here's the link for the watchdog time out. I got it when I was playing with my tridents over 2200mhz.. They liked 2200mhz at 10-10-10-24, but if I went higher, i'd get the watchdog error. So, from the look of it it's due to ram, or could also be memory controller.. I'm seeing going to 4.7ghz, I'm having ton of memory bsod, but it's not due to instable ram, I've memtested it at that clock, and 4passes was good.. I just think the memory controller isn't to the "oc to 2600mhz" that it says it is..

As for the jumpers, I haven't seen anything on the evga forums, or any place else. I'll look more into it, but I can't even get a answer from EVGA on the ECP cable.. So, it's been a pain..

PM me the jumper thing, and I'll look into it when I get home tomorrow again.. I forgot to respond to ya on it the last time because of how much "wording" went into the club since then.. lol

eva2000 from i4memory always writes that your ram is limited by your memory controller and your memory controller is luck of the draw.

I have some screens from a chip I overclocked recently and it's got a really nice 4.0GHz OC and tight timings on the ram. The only problem I saw with the setup was that my classy fried a memory slot, so not I have to RMA the motherboard :rolleyes:

Sh!t happens :laugh:

Yep, that is very true. You can learn a lot from i4memory! I know I have.

Nice clocks Binge.

Thanks man. I've decided a chip with an OC like that is my target for air cooling.

P.S. Everyone with a TRUE should lap it ASAP.

wait.. did I read that right the second time? memory slot fried? :cry:


Out of the 4 chips I've hit to 4ghz, I can say, all chips didn't really see a huge grain of anything over 4ghz.. Pi, but noting really on benches.. 4ghz is great for 24/7 clocks. if Your stable there, then stuff will just be a breeze at multi tasking. Imo at lease..

Now, I did run my Qx9650 at 4.4ghz for 24/7.. lol.. but that was just because "I could" :laugh:

Still manage to get a lower voltage on my 4.0Ghz 24/7 but dam good job on i7 :toast:

I need a i7, but i think upgrading to a 4.0Ghz q9550 from a e5200 is already enough in that matter, haahahahaa :laugh:

Go to a micro center, any around the country, then buy a q9550 for 169.99, make sure its packing date is August 2009 or even newer, then check the stepping and make sure is a SLB8V then the batch code of L87C*** and you can maybe get a quad that does 4.004Ghz at 1.23volts and more stable then a floor of diamond(30+ runs of Intelburntest). :D

*EDIT*whoops you live in Finland my bad**** Lol if you were in america you could have gone to microcenter :D.

Yep, that would be great with current currency rates. Someone visits MC, throws box away, keeps cooler, sticks CPU to letter and I got one too :p Or buy two, get better for them selves and worse chip for me :)

None is even selling q9550 cheap in ebay surely you could sell one (many) for $200 and make easy $30, if micro center is close.
