I like to use Systool Quad 16M Pi test to find my feet with a new cpu (benchmarking -> cpu -> select 16M Pi test and check 4 threads box). Quad 16M Pi test uses ~1.2-1.3GB of memory, so you can't run Quad 32M Pi Systool test as it uses 2.6+ GB memory and for 32bit OS it will give you out of memory even if you have 4GB memory installed.

Systool Quad 16M Pi test scaling looks like this so far:

• 4005Mhz at 1.4375v bios set -> 1.408v idle/load
• 4137Mhz at 1.4750v bios set -> 1.448v idle/1.440v load
• 4152Mhz at 1.4875v bios set -> 1.456v-1.464v idle / 1.448v load
• 4180Mhz at 1.5000v bios set -> 1.472v idle / 1.464v load
• 4200Mhz at 1.5375v bios set -> 1.512v idle / 1.508v load

10min @4005Mhz at 1.392v load



Systool Quad 16M Pi pass at 1.508v load

(don't mind the times as i ran at 1:1 divider heh)

Coretemp 0.95.4 isn't correct Coretemp 0.95.6 beta i just started to test shows closer load/idle temps to everest OSD report in screenshots heh

Coretemp 0.95.4 is about 5C under reported from Coretemp 0.95.6 beta.

Good ol georgy, worrying about the minor details
Mine wont have the luxury of such a drawn out childhood heh

Haha... i know your cpu will be screaming out loud from the get go hehe

Can now confirm, 9x445FSB instability wasn't related to FSB but related to lack of vcore as I bumped vcore right up and have no instability issues at 9x467FSB with Quad 16M Pi Systool test.



9x470FSB with CPU PLL = 1.50v

Well either I have Asus Blitz Extreme 0904 bios issues or I probably have a below average QX9650 as I can't even complete 1M @11x400FSB = 4400Mhz at 1.65v bios (1.608v load) - half way through 1M Super Pi run it reboots heh.

Might have to move QX9650 cpu to my Asus Blitz Formula to see what's up.

you know my batch before i do =p

eva2000

Yeah it's looking like it's cpu

Asus Blitz Formula 1205 bios flashed, same QX9650 needs 1.408v to get into windows air cooled. 1.35v bios reboots before getting into windows.

System

• Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 L739A644 Retail OEM
• Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme + 120x38mm Panaflo 103 cfm fan + MX-2 TIM
• Asus Blitz Formula 1205 bios
• 128MB Gainward FX5200 PCI
• 2x1GB Team 6400C3 Micron D9GMH
• Memory cooling = 120x25mm Spire 96cfm fan on rheobus @100% fan speed.
• 80GB Hitachi 7K80 SATAII
• Pioneer DVR-08 Burner
• Sony FDD
• 620W Corsair HX620 PSU
• WinXP Pro SP2

I should lend you my Maximus Extreme to see how that runs!
I'm still waiting on my 9650 and ram before I can get mine up and running.

Edit: Aww. If it's the CPU, that sucks.
