I think a huge thing people don't take into consideration about these old Q9XXX and even the E8XXX series C2Ds is the fact that they support the SSE4.1 instruction set keeping them relevant enough to still run most modern programs
@@shanegreybeldia7039 Hi! I'm using a ASUS P5P43TD PRO. And i paired with a Kit Corsair Vengeance 2x4 Dual Channel (8GB)1600mhz (running in exactly in this frequency). Also, this mobo can handle up to 16GB of ram. Cheers, my friend!
¿ Is that a nerdy joke, a question, why you cry, need a good Core Quad build in 2018 running GTX 1080, or need timmy the weirdo kid? life???, 24/7 gaming life you do, crying all the time?
me? i have q9400 at 3.2 ghz stable with 8 gb ram ddr 3 with gtx 1060 edit: my motherboard is an asus p5g41m-t/usb3 with ddr3 slots which is pretty rare board
Those were incredible. I remember building a water-cooled rig with it for a client. Hitting 4.3Ghz was a breeze. Most of the 1333 Core 2 and Core 2 Quads were incredible overclockers. DDR3 ram speed were pretty low, but getting ultra latency RAM (like Mushkin black) was all the rage back then.
Michael B i still use a Xeon 120 W 65nm Clovertown version, DDR 3 not that old!! running a later gen Socket 771 board. Timmy is just not smart enough to do a good build on it..... The build in cash 4x6 Mb makes them modern gen CPU, way to costly to produce in 2018, needing the complete waffle to do only 64 CPU's! Getting > 1200 i5 CPU's out of that same waffle size now!
fabinho7756 He need a good board, timmy is a weid kido guy...crying bullshit here...... Go for nForce DDR 3 boards!!! or intel 4 DDR 3, 100% crap youTube junk here!!!!!!!!! remove this RUclips service, stop using the crap!!!!! MAD MEN LAND, PROMOTED JUNK JOBS!!!!!
Great video thank you. You pushed that chip pretty hard for sure. I still have my old Core2Quad Q6600@4056MHz@1.4325 volts & 8GB DDR2 1066MHz@1254Mhz on the ASUS ROG Maximus main board I think it was the very first ROG board ASUS made with a GTX 680 4GB. It was a old gaming setup I had and now it is a work system I use at my store and I have used it in some new games at work and it plays them fine. The CPu cooler is a Scythe Fuma Twin Tower with triple fans on it temps are in the 60c's-70c's full load. I have never thought of raising the voltage higher to see if I can get higher I might give it a go tomorrow and try for 4.5GHz I don't think I would go to 1.6 volts though maybe 1.53 volts. It probably won't go much farther since I am memory boot strapped to the lowest already and I do not think the DDR2 I got has much more to give for more speed it might make it to 1300MHz and my bus is already way past 400MHz FSB but I will give it a go...yay overclocking an old 755 system again...lol
Hey Timmy. I want to apologize. You're just a tech enthusiast with a relatively small audience making videos for fun, and I had no reason to bash that. You were right - the C2Q is still adequate for basic PC use, as long as the computer doesn't have other, unrelated issues impacting its performance. I came in yelling at you with my biased, half-cooked opinions because I was frustrated that I couldn't just leave a negative comment without response and assume I was correct. That's a bad habit of mine and I'm sorry. I'm glad you responded, because it shows you actually want to engage with your audience, and you make videos for education and fun, not for the sake of bragging or mass media production. I'm super impressed with that build and happy to see that you're still making videos! I hope you keep at it.
Jay Arre Hey I was in the wrong and I feel bad and owed an apology. If Timmy ignores me that's fine, he doesn't owe me anything, especially after I was a complete ass. Like I said, it's a bad habit and I'm trying to stop being like that online.
XeonProductions Guess you meant the Core Quad Extreme, not the Core Duo!!!!!!!!!! cheap E1600???? crap!!!!!!!!!!! Only on Striker II, nForce i780, forget the crap build Timmy did, why uplaod this crap on RUclips, 200% nerdy bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tamarockstar45 The less mad people the better! You you need this nerdy madness? need the wrong CPU in the wrong build, you love the crap build, 10 year old crap too? Low level IQ issues too, why you love that?
Hey man, even running some OEM parts is a cheap way to run a 1080p medium gaming rig - i got a Q8400 with a 660ti and 8gb DDR3 in Windows 10, and i snagged a firestrike score of 4843. Cost me 60 bucks and uses an OEM acer mobo
The best core2quads are the Xeon 54XX line, especially X5470, you need a modded bios and a sticker to switch two pins since the X5470 is socket 771. They're functionally the same, but the X5470 is better binned, they can do 4.5ghz daily at 1.4v and 4.8ghz at around 1.5v, not for daily usage though. Anything past 1.5v is suicide.
My first full brand new (budget) pc build I used a core 2 duo E2200 (upgraded months later) 2.2Ghz stock, pushed her to 4.2 on a budget mobo on air. I tried to get 4.4 so many times and never got there. This video makes me wanna go back pull her out of the parts bin with a better mobo and good cooler. Good old FSB oc'ing it was the ram or mobo that stopped me. I had to crank the FSB high and one of the two were stopping me, but I built the pc with my first 2 paychecks out of high school so buying better parts back then was a dream.
Seriously awesome set up.. i still use a few LGA775 system until today, a backup computer with Q8400 running at 3,5gHz, a gaming PC with Q6600 tapemod to 3gHz, and a recording PC with E8500. (my main PC is i5 3570k running 4,3gHz with 16GB Ram) planning to get ma a newer system when i have the fund... but that system of yours is seriously awesome!
I was running an old i3-2100 for several years, and it chugged along fine.. but then I got bored, and built a C2D system for the helluvit.. as you do. It was a little lacklustre in performance, so I found a $20 Q9400 on eBay, slapped that in, clocked it to 3.6ghz, and it actually out-performs the old i3 in just phenomenal ways. It's now become my main 'clanker' machine, and it games pretty damn well (paired with an R9 290), and runs Arma III @ 1080, doing around 50+fps, even in the middle of a busy firefight. All in all, for architecture that is 10 years old, it's still really quite good. I mean, it's no killer, but for a cheap knock-together machine, it's good enough to keep plodding along for another few years. For the record, idle temps are at 37-40 degrees C, and peaks at about 68 under full load, so well within what I would call 'tolerable'.
Where I was born and my family lives Core 2 Duos are the mainstream! Quads are still considered awesome. lol Some guys are still upgrading from one AGP card to an other. It is not the USA I have to tell. :D
@@halfniak South Africa is a nice and developed place mostly. I came from Csikóstőttős, Hungary. :D (In the captial Quads were available nearly the same day as in the US, village is different.)
The later in C2Q like the Q9650 and stuff like the Xeon e5450 even at stock speed still make decent entry budget gaming builds. As long as you keep your expectations within reason you can get a solid gaming experience on many popular games concerning bang for buck. Paired with a decent video card, they dont have any major issues with games like CS:GO, Dawn of War III, World of Tanks, Overwatch, or Fortnite, and can still handle games like GTA V, Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Doom, and Deus Ex Mankind Divided, as long as you keep details at a mix medium/high on some games and low/medium on others. The main thing to watch out for are certain cpu intensive effects settings like god rays. Usually you can crank those settings down low and crank others back up to get some of the visual luster back while maintaining a solid enjoyable fps experience.
hah I just recently decided to play with this too - got a $7 Q6600 system running modern games (with a few exceptions due to lacking CPU instructions) pretty good! Crazy this came out in 2007
I bought a QX9650 from new. Spent a fortune on that rig and it never would overclock past 3.66Ghz at sensible voltages. I was gutted. I still use that PC for Windows XP games and Windows 7 games that dont work on my Ryzen system.
I snagged a gigabyte P43T-ES3G motherboard which supports DDR3 1600 (overclock) a few years ago off of EBay, I didn't realize how hard they are to find. I have a Q9550 2.83 GHz running in it. After seeing this I'm looking at a Q9650 for an overclock project!
The LGA771 Xeons are fairly cheap compared to the actual Core 2 Quads, atleast in the higher tiers. Payed about 40€($45) last year for a X5460. Boards are a different topic. Decent used boards with DDR2 support start at 50-60€ (~$52-70), and the good ones sell for way over 100. Same goes for good memory, 2x2 GB DDR2-1066 usually runs for around 30-50€ ($35-60). DDR3 gives way cheaper memory (around 50% less) but the boards are even more expensive. But it is fun to tinker with a platform that actually requires some work to overclock. Even better when the typical 30-100% OC (depending on the model series) are finally stable.
Hey Timmy nice score on the Cinebench and Firestrike. The QX9650 and the QX9770 were the best of the best LGA775 money can buy but you pay pretty much Core i7 Extreme prices for them. If you know the mod for LGA771. You could get the Xeon 771 and OC the snort out of them with the supported mobo and modded BIOS or some mobo even on the public BIOS does support the Xeon. Some of these Xeon have pretty much Q9650 for workstations and they are cheaper. I got around 5 to 6 LGA 775 CPUs with me. And the latest and best 775 CPU i got was the Q9650 which is the locked version of your QX9650. I did own one QX series but it was the older QX6800 which had a stock speed of 2.93GHz. Even with a beefy cooler like CoolerMaster Hyper 212X the temps on stock speeds is a toasty 60+ degrees in a room temp close to 32 degrees. On the Q9650 i getting only 40 to 50 plus degrees on stock and mild OC to 3.6GHz For your OC is really on the nuts side but still understanable considering how hot these CPUs runs. You are def pulling excess of 400+ watts just the CPU alone when running Cinebench. Most of the HWBot scores were on custom waterloops. But imo for you to get 500 score. You need to up the cooling to the 240 or 280mm AIO coolers. And blast that fan on the VRMs. Some guys have actually better luck with the Q9650 with 5GHz OC with around 1.664v on the vCore. And it was on air cooling as well. The mobo is the GA-EP45 series which are P45 chipset boards from Gigabyte. The mobos from Gigabyte and Asus were the best mobo to get for OC. P35, P43, P45 and X48 are the few boards to get. But only the P43, P45 and X48 had DDR3 support. I paid around 280 dollars on ebay for the Asus X48 chipset mobo with the Q9650 and 8GB of DDR3 which i swapped out for 4x2GB of DDR3 1333MHz. I find it odd when the board did boot with one DDR3 1600MHz but refuse to boot with 4 sticks. Seems like i not the only one who have troubles with 1600MHz RAMs. It seems that LGA775 loves Sk hynix and Samsung RAM chips for best stability. My RAMs were taken from old HP machine and work flawlessly at 1333MHz and all 8GB. My major drawback is the GPU which has only 1GB of VRAM so i can only play games at 720p res. Yes i agree with you. The Ryzen 2200G with high speed RAM will wipe the floor off this old beast without a sweat. Owning and running 775 CPUs are most def for old school guys like us to have fun. My Q6600 was my HTPC setup with Windows 10 until the mobo decided to die on me. So i switch to the Ryzen 3 2200G for my 4K TV screening.
Very impressive for a Core 2! I couldn't get my qx9770 passed 4.2 but I was using a Noctua NHD-14 With 3 coolink swif2 120P fans to cool it. I did get the Phenom IIx4 980 to 4.5 GHz NB/HT 2000 with DDR3 1600 but it got pretty hot using a Noctua NH-D14 plus I got about the same performance as 4.5 GHz by just overclocking the NB to 2800 and keeping the CPU clock at 4.2 GHz.
In India currently a used think centre with core2duo cost around 30 dollars I bought one as Linux machine , and I added a core2quad q9550 for 7 dollar which more then doubled its performance and is able to do day to day task without any glitch endlessly all day long with 4 gb ram and a 7200rpm and it performs way better then my ThinkPad with i5 4rth gen
Got a X5460 (A Xeon, which is basically a C2Q) @ 4.1 GHz (9x456 FSB) under 1.4v with 8 GB DDR2 @ 912 CL6 CR2 and a GTX 660 Ti and can confirm that the platform isn't dead yet. Around 450 in CB R15, 150 FPS in CS:GO, 90 in Tomb Raider on high, 440 in Unreal. Cooled with a Hyper 212 EVO it never tops above 77°C on the cores. The platform benefits from high FSB, That is the biggest benefit of running DDR3 on it. Something like 500 FSB with a 9x multi for the same 4.5 GHz, then some tight timings like DDR3 1200 with CL6/7. Also tweaking the GTLs will help with reducing Vcore, same goes for the VTT and PLL. Doing it with VCore only is just brute forcing it and will lower longevity immensly.
I have a MSI that supports ddr3 and ddr2! But I quit using that setup with a Xeon X3350 and 8gb of Kingston 1333! I gave it up for a I5 7600K, RX580 8gb and 24 gb ddr4! Soon to be swapping it out for a Ryzen 7 1700 to save a little bit of power!
i have no regrets on my hp it was free with a dual core pentium slapped a q9650 maxed the mobo with 8 gig ddr2 and put a r7 260x 2 gig and it plays newer games it was just a fun project
The Core2 Extreme QX9775 is just a QX9770 that can run using dual CPUs. They're identical otherwise. But yes, the QX9770/QX9775 are the fastest LGA-775 CPUs ever made. And they seem to clock to 4.2ghz without too much difficulty. They also have a 1600mhz FSB that helps them too.
I did the same thing with an Abit IP35Pro ddr2 board and a Xeon X5460. Got mine to 3.9ghz with barely any voltage increase, I was able to push it just over 4.4ghz and backed off because the system was for sale. Every test I ran at 3.9ghz was equal to an i5 3rd and 4th gen stock. Socket 775 as long as your able to overclock is still relevant.
Sean Neves Why you all do the shitty DDR 2 build, can't clock them any high that way!!! U used a sticker to connect the socked, or home painting skills, liquid metal used to repair the car windows heating circuits. able to run on fast DDR 3, still very good nForce i780 chipsets, able to run any 2018 title in 1080p on high settings running modern GPU cards!
lucas rem what? I refurbished 1 of my old builds, I didn't use a sticker or paint, or liquid metal of any kind. Instead of talking about things you don't know about why don't you take 5 minutes and look up Xeon 775 on google... with a 775 Xeon there is no motherboard mod or stickers required just a simple microcode update... Xeon's are basically Binned chips and back in the 775 and 1366 sockets used less voltage for the same or better performance making them excellent for overclocking...
Sean Neves The 775 Xeons are not as good as some 771 CPU's!!! lower levels..... u used way to many text, just say, ' i bought the 775 cheaper model, not needing ECC!!!!' why you cry as mad as timmy? nerdy too? Try to find nice i780 boards!!!!!!!! talk less, your are not that smart, read more! Why did we used cheap 771 Xeons back then, not needing the $1000 Quad Core Extreme CPU's, running on less good DDR2!
DDR3 platforms are still totally relevant as long as you trust the seller/have a test session before buying and then give it proper air blow and Wd40 shower in every component onto motherboard and PSU.
i got one of these chips in 2011...threw it in a dell xps 420(i know) and chucked in a 500gb ssd and a gtx660ti...one day it will all meet a new 2nd hand ddr3 mobo...until then here i am still rocking the xps :) just bought an i7 2600k which also need`s a decent mobo to call home :)
the QX9770 is the fastest LGA 775 CPU and damn are those things hard to come by, but get this the QX9775 is on the LGA 771 socket and goes on a special intel dual socket board for enthusiasts called Skulltrail, Asus also had a decent looking board for it too
I've got a Q9550 paired with a 1050ti and a 860 Evo SSD. Only 8 GB of ddr2 but I'm still able to play every game at 1080p with 60+ FPS. It's good enough for me!
Gigabyte EP45T UD3R and 9650 here with 8 megs DDR2 running at 4.1. with a 1070 ftw. (yes bottlenecked) air cooled with a 212 evo in a push pull configuration. I ran an EVE mining company with 8 accounts open at once with no problems Witcher 3 Ultra settings /hair. No problems runs Valley benchmark at 1080p, 120+ fps. I only play World of Warships/War Thunder and Elder Scrolls on line. Ultra settings on all. Want to upgrade for giggles but cant justify it. Long live socket 775!
This comment might get marked as $PAM. But it's not. I have this motherboard: www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-EP45-DS3L-rev-10#support-cpu and it says it supports this CPU: Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (ebay.us/oBn3OK) Wonder what you could get out of it! Looking to put the fastest ram and CPU I can in it. Definitely not spending 100 dollars on a CPU though! Might settle with the one you used in this video though.
I bought a C2Q Q8300 for 9$ US, shipping included and a 5$ US heatsink/fan on ebay and overclocked the living shit out of it and i was surprised to see how high i could overclock it. The Q8300 runs at 2500mhz and i have mine at 3750mhz with a 5$ heatsink. I play CoD AND WoW and mine Monero when im not playing so it's at 100% load 24/7 and it never goes above 70C . Intel rates it at 74.9C but the C2Q can run at 85C safely for a long ass time. I tried to kill my C2D buy running it at 89C for a month and it was stable from 84C to 89C .... Those damn intel Core 2 are hard to kill. Also, i have 3 of those 5$ fan/heatsinks from ebay and they are the best bang for the buck i have ever purchased. 5$ shipped gets you a heatsink, a fan, a set of brackets and termal paste. How it's possible to make money selling those for 5$ shipped is a mystery to me.
skyhawk311 Just a bad uplaod, not having any good 775 board, weird parts! Need weird builds, you need Timmy! in real 2005 it was not so, but who cards what Timmy cry's, a grownup body, inside a kido, lol!
The only bottleneck of 775 is the FSB, you should try to max out it (you should get around 480~500 when tweaking right the clock skew and GTL voltage) then increase the multiplier (maybe the ram to 1600+ cas 6 or 7) and you get the best performance for 775 :D
The only thing is missing for me is a QX9650, I have only a Q9550@4.1GHz running on the Asus Rampage extreme with 16GB of ddr3 running at 1600 or 1700 I don't remember :/
Also the best board you can get for 775 is an Gigabyte EP45T Extreme or EP45T UD3R, with P45 gigabyte motherboard (only on that combo) you can push the FSB around 550MHz and have the fastest bandwidth to allow the benefit of using 1600+MHz ddr3 ;)
For many years I kept my Q9650 at ~4.33 GHz 24/7 in my home virtualization server that was also used occasionally for gaming. www.3dmark.com/fs/178915 It also had VT-d for GPU passthrough that worked well.
2 weeks ago: bought an ASUS P5Q-E bundled with a Q9550 and 8GB DDR2 1066Mhz for 35 EUR. P5Q-E lasted 1 hour until two RAM slots went dead during "normal" OC operation. 1 week ago: bought a Gigabyte EP45-DS3 (really budget P45 Board) bundled with some useless E8400 + Ruby Orb Cooler for 18 EUR. today: running the Q9550 @471 Mhz FSB / 4 Ghz at 1.38 Vcore with a spare GTX 960 4GB, playing games i could play much better on my i7 + Vega64, but .. no... that's not it ! now: being happy :)
Makes me glad I'm running an Ivy Bridge i5-3450 with 16GB RAM and a GTX 1060 6GB, even though it's inside a Dell Vostro 470 meaning no overclocking the processor. I plan on replacing the i5 with an i7-3770 later this year or sometime next year.
just because the multiplier is unlocked on the QX, The Q9650 is actually better paired with P5QL-EM over-clocks madness! 5ghz = if hit the lotto which is easier to do! Get a air cooler all copper DuOrb by thermal-take with a ASUS GTX 670. Beautiful experience... #MUSHKIN RAM,, Always!.... #MadeInUSA
i have coffe lake system and 775 core 2 duo, and play games on both.. I play a bit newer games on coffe lake system and i play older games with a wireless controller on the core 2 system. I enjoy both.
Nice Vid! I build a retro rig with a Xeon X5470 modded in a Gigabyte EP45 Extreme recently. Why you would build this instead of a modern platform? Because it is beautiful! :D It's humming along nicely on 4.2 @ 1.375V with a 780Ti
I retired my E8500 Core2Duo a couple of years ago, I had considered getting one of those QX9650's as an upgrade but at the time they where much more expensive than they are now (you can get them fairly cheap on ali now) but I just built my current i5 skylake system and it's good enough for now :) (My next machine should be AMD if things keep going the way they are now.)
I got like 4.4ghz stable on my Q6600 after I lapped it and ran pretty cool with a V2 all copper cooler back in the day. Definitely raised the room temp and the decibels haha! I relegated the desktop to CAD work mostly since yeah, they're dated...
have same system, 8+2 vrm but replaced the board with a ROG maximus 2 with a 16 phase, now the board has a q6600 in it at 3.6ghz. The qx9650 ran 4.5ghz for like a year then i backed it down to 4.0ghz (80% clocks, only 60% of the power draw much better) and its still like that today. corrections, hyperthreading was out before this in the pentium 4's, also some asus lga775 boards had usb3, you're using way to high of a voltage, 1.55 is the normal limit for these chips and generally all you need, your loadline calibration would have been good to look at.
How did you overclock it.... My motherboard is not supported for overclock... My motherboard processor socket is lga 775 and using intel core 2 quad q9300 2.5ghz.... Ddr3 1066 mhz 8gb..... Gtx 750 ti
Max- Hacker mad build, he needs a board! DDR 3 board, posting junk! weird bottleneck build, crap for RUclips Noobs only! nobody needs his crap! He need hits, a low level Job, stupid people hits hahahaha.......
Did you try to set the priority to real time in task manager? I've always got a bit better scores with trick And Jumper118 (the guy who is 1. in that list 6:50) have got 501 points on a Q9650 @ 4.474GHz so hitting 500 points on your QX9650 @ 4.51GHz could be possible.
I have a question, that no one can give me an answer to. So I still have an AMD FX 8350 and I'm planning to upgrade my GPU to a 970. I've done a little bit of research but nothing really convinced me, when speaking about whether the 8350 bottlenecks it or not. What do you think?
The good spot for these QX9000 CPUs its actually around 4Ghz, anything over that will need high voltages, good cooling, active VRM cooling, and still will degrade the CPU over time. But at 4Ghz u can get there with reasonable voltages, good cooling and passive VRM cooling, and it wont degrade the CPU over time. DDR3 MB: 400 FSB, 10x multiplier, 2x4GB 1333Mhz CL8 DDR2 MB: 400 FSB, 10x multiplier, 4x2GB 1066Mhz CL6

1.64v
Absolute madman.
Ain't no kill like overkill
smoked_out
You love the mad builds, running old crap office gear on high volt.....
why not do a good build, on nForce i780!!!!!!!!!
for some reason my cpu idles at a higher voltage of 1.4v and when i put it under load it drops to like 1.37 or so
Now I want to see how high Coffee and Ryzen can clock with a permanent 1.64v under air. And the temps of it.
it's called vdroop enabling load line calibration (testing different values) will fix it.
I think a huge thing people don't take into consideration about these old Q9XXX and even the E8XXX series C2Ds is the fact that they support the SSE4.1 instruction set keeping them relevant enough to still run most modern programs
Hey man, once it's -20C again this winter, you need to try to overclock it to 5ghz in your garage!! I think we should see some crazy results!
G-WRX bring some air in from outside with a big blower fan with a filter on it
YES
Yeah bring a high CFM fan to blow -20C air right on it haha
try to overclock it in the summit of mount Everest it might reach at 10ghz...

Those were incredible. I remember building a water-cooled rig with it for a client. Hitting 4.3Ghz was a breeze. Most of the 1333 Core 2 and Core 2 Quads were incredible overclockers. DDR3 ram speed were pretty low, but getting ultra latency RAM (like Mushkin black) was all the rage back then.

i still use a Xeon 120 W 65nm Clovertown version, DDR 3 not that old!! running a later gen Socket 771 board.
Timmy is just not smart enough to do a good build on it.....
The build in cash 4x6 Mb makes them modern gen CPU, way to costly to produce in 2018, needing the complete waffle to do only 64 CPU's! Getting > 1200 i5 CPU's out of that same waffle size now!
P5Q pro turbo ddr2 8gb Kingston hyper x I just strapped the FSB to 1600 and ran it at 4 Ghz
fabinho7756
He need a good board, timmy is a weid kido guy...crying bullshit here......
Go for nForce DDR 3 boards!!! or intel 4 DDR 3, 100% crap youTube junk here!!!!!!!!!
remove this RUclips service, stop using the crap!!!!! MAD MEN LAND, PROMOTED JUNK JOBS!!!!!
I went from same processor to dual core and its much faster, i3 4130 blows these older quads away in games.
I still use a qx9650 over clocked at 4gHz running at 1.4 ish volts and i get pretty well in games
I'm still with a Q9400 from 2008, stock paste, stock cooler, temperatures under 30 degrees celsius (86F) when idle.

Great video thank you.
You pushed that chip pretty hard for sure. I still have my old Core2Quad Q6600@4056MHz@1.4325 volts & 8GB DDR2 1066MHz@1254Mhz on the ASUS ROG Maximus main board I think it was the very first ROG board ASUS made with a GTX 680 4GB.
It was a old gaming setup I had and now it is a work system I use at my store and I have used it in some new games at work and it plays them fine. The CPu cooler is a Scythe Fuma Twin Tower with triple fans on it temps are in the 60c's-70c's full load. I have never thought of raising the voltage higher to see if I can get higher I might give it a go tomorrow and try for 4.5GHz I don't think I would go to 1.6 volts though maybe 1.53 volts. It probably won't go much farther since I am memory boot strapped to the lowest already and I do not think the DDR2 I got has much more to give for more speed it might make it to 1300MHz and my bus is already way past 400MHz FSB but I will give it a go...yay overclocking an old 755 system again...lol
I have almost this exact set up in an old computer I have in my bedroom. So thanks, I needed this.
Hey Timmy. I want to apologize.
You're just a tech enthusiast with a relatively small audience making videos for fun, and I had no reason to bash that. You were right - the C2Q is still adequate for basic PC use, as long as the computer doesn't have other, unrelated issues impacting its performance.
I came in yelling at you with my biased, half-cooked opinions because I was frustrated that I couldn't just leave a negative comment without response and assume I was correct. That's a bad habit of mine and I'm sorry. I'm glad you responded, because it shows you actually want to engage with your audience, and you make videos for education and fun, not for the sake of bragging or mass media production.
I'm super impressed with that build and happy to see that you're still making videos! I hope you keep at it.
Jay Arre Hey I was in the wrong and I feel bad and owed an apology. If Timmy ignores me that's fine, he doesn't owe me anything, especially after I was a complete ass. Like I said, it's a bad habit and I'm trying to stop being like that online.
what did you do?
the core 2 quad will always hold a special place in my heart.

Guess you meant the Core Quad Extreme, not the Core Duo!!!!!!!!!! cheap E1600???? crap!!!!!!!!!!!
Only on Striker II, nForce i780, forget the crap build Timmy did, why uplaod this crap on RUclips, 200% nerdy bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Core 2 Quad, that's the full name.

READ BETTER!!! STOP CRYING ON THAT TIMMY LEVEL, YOU ARE JUST AS STUPID AS HE DOES IF YOU DO THAT!!!!!!
Core Quad Extreme, timmy just got a eBay fake thing here, not even a Core Cuo, but a stickered 771 Xeon!!!!!!!
NOOB THAT CRY BULLSHIT CHANNEL!!!!!!
READ, STOP WATCH CRAP VIDEO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP USING RUclips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Core Quad Extreme, Core Cuo, mixing them all up with some cheap Xeon on socket 771.....
Move here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!remove RUclips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Timmy is just as all these channels, kids, crying bullshit,a job! MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They only need the RUclips money job!!!!! Lazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lucas rem shut the fuck up
Awesome video! There are even faster C2Q's out there; the QX9770/9775 and the 771 Xeons like the X5482/5492 that can easily be modified for socket775.
Remember when Timmy Joe had less than 10k subscribers? tamarockstar45 remembers.

Hey man, even running some OEM parts is a cheap way to run a 1080p medium gaming rig - i got a Q8400 with a 660ti and 8gb DDR3 in Windows 10, and i snagged a firestrike score of 4843. Cost me 60 bucks and uses an OEM acer mobo
Saw this and instantly clicked.
The max of the QX series for 775 socket is the QX9770, not the QX9650...
I overclocked a q9400 (2.66ghz 6mb 95w 4c 1333fsb)
To 4ghz all cores 1.49v( 2000mhz memory ddr2 2.20v)
And its stable . Nice video .
The best core2quads are the Xeon 54XX line, especially X5470, you need a modded bios and a sticker to switch two pins since the X5470 is socket 771.
They're functionally the same, but the X5470 is better binned, they can do 4.5ghz daily at 1.4v and 4.8ghz at around 1.5v, not for daily usage though.
Anything past 1.5v is suicide.
My first full brand new (budget) pc build I used a core 2 duo E2200 (upgraded months later) 2.2Ghz stock, pushed her to 4.2 on a budget mobo on air. I tried to get 4.4 so many times and never got there. This video makes me wanna go back pull her out of the parts bin with a better mobo and good cooler. Good old FSB oc'ing it was the ram or mobo that stopped me. I had to crank the FSB high and one of the two were stopping me, but I built the pc with my first 2 paychecks out of high school so buying better parts back then was a dream.
Seriously awesome set up.. i still use a few LGA775 system until today, a backup computer with Q8400 running at 3,5gHz, a gaming PC with Q6600 tapemod to 3gHz, and a recording PC with E8500. (my main PC is i5 3570k running 4,3gHz with 16GB Ram)
planning to get ma a newer system when i have the fund... but that system of yours is seriously awesome!
Finally able to get my weekly Timmy Joe fix! Awesome video, Love the old school OC videos.
be a lotttt more from here on out my friend
This is insane result for q9650 and socket 775, congratulation extreeme overcloking Timmy Joe :D
I was running an old i3-2100 for several years, and it chugged along fine.. but then I got bored, and built a C2D system for the helluvit.. as you do. It was a little lacklustre in performance, so I found a $20 Q9400 on eBay, slapped that in, clocked it to 3.6ghz, and it actually out-performs the old i3 in just phenomenal ways. It's now become my main 'clanker' machine, and it games pretty damn well (paired with an R9 290), and runs Arma III @ 1080, doing around 50+fps, even in the middle of a busy firefight.
All in all, for architecture that is 10 years old, it's still really quite good. I mean, it's no killer, but for a cheap knock-together machine, it's good enough to keep plodding along for another few years.
For the record, idle temps are at 37-40 degrees C, and peaks at about 68 under full load, so well within what I would call 'tolerable'.
Good to see ya back on man! Love the videos! Keep up the awesome work.
We used to drool at the thought of having this processor while running our E 8400's and so on
Where I was born and my family lives Core 2 Duos are the mainstream! Quads are still considered awesome. lol Some guys are still upgrading from one AGP card to an other. It is not the USA I have to tell. :D
where is that?
I live in South Africa and 12 years ago already c2q and duo were equally popular
@@halfniak South Africa is a nice and developed place mostly. I came from Csikóstőttős, Hungary. :D (In the captial Quads were available nearly the same day as in the US, village is different.)
The later in C2Q like the Q9650 and stuff like the Xeon e5450 even at stock speed still make decent entry budget gaming builds. As long as you keep your expectations within reason you can get a solid gaming experience on many popular games concerning bang for buck. Paired with a decent video card, they dont have any major issues with games like CS:GO, Dawn of War III, World of Tanks, Overwatch, or Fortnite, and can still handle games like GTA V, Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Doom, and Deus Ex Mankind Divided, as long as you keep details at a mix medium/high on some games and low/medium on others.
The main thing to watch out for are certain cpu intensive effects settings like god rays. Usually you can crank those settings down low and crank others back up to get some of the visual luster back while maintaining a solid enjoyable fps experience.
Still running a Q9650 OC'd to 4.16Ghz myself, Ram DDR3@ 1383Mhz Dualchannel and a Flashed RX480 to RX580. What a time to be alive.
hah I just recently decided to play with this too - got a $7 Q6600 system running modern games (with a few exceptions due to lacking CPU instructions) pretty good! Crazy this came out in 2007
c2q are my favorite cpu's...11 years later and still relevant!!
I bought a QX9650 from new. Spent a fortune on that rig and it never would overclock past 3.66Ghz at sensible voltages. I was gutted. I still use that PC for Windows XP games and Windows 7 games that dont work on my Ryzen system.
Q9550 reporting in here. Still playing 1080p and Killin it.
What do you think about the Q9550? I have that but don’t know if I should bring it back lol
I snagged a gigabyte P43T-ES3G motherboard which supports DDR3 1600 (overclock) a few years ago off of EBay, I didn't realize how hard they are to find. I have a Q9550 2.83 GHz running in it. After seeing this I'm looking at a Q9650 for an overclock project!
Love your content, Timmy! Your attitude and positivity is special, keep it up! :D
Hey timmy boy.. been searching for a while now and could not find what exactly beat from Chuki is your intro. This is awesome
Wouldn't mind getting my hands on that board and processor combo. Looks fun.
The LGA771 Xeons are fairly cheap compared to the actual Core 2 Quads, atleast in the higher tiers. Payed about 40€($45) last year for a X5460.
Boards are a different topic. Decent used boards with DDR2 support start at 50-60€ (~$52-70), and the good ones sell for way over 100. Same goes for good memory, 2x2 GB DDR2-1066 usually runs for around 30-50€ ($35-60).
DDR3 gives way cheaper memory (around 50% less) but the boards are even more expensive.
But it is fun to tinker with a platform that actually requires some work to overclock. Even better when the typical 30-100% OC (depending on the model series) are finally stable.
i got that board with q8200 and 4gb of ddr3 ram for my old working gt430 that i dont use lol
K now i'm going to do something crazy with my q6600 and gigabyte's ddr3 775 motherboard
Clocking it up to 3.6 Ghz (9×400) and pairing it with a 10080 Ti for the ultimate bottleneck experience?
HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul dude i'm italian,and i saw a guy with q6600 with BSEL mod and a Vega 56 so...wow
Ran my X5460 pin-modded chip at ~4.2GHz, loved that chip. 775 definitely wasn't too bad and it's ok for someone on a budget.
Hey Timmy nice score on the Cinebench and Firestrike. The QX9650 and the QX9770 were the best of the best LGA775 money can buy but you pay pretty much Core i7 Extreme prices for them. If you know the mod for LGA771. You could get the Xeon 771 and OC the snort out of them with the supported mobo and modded BIOS or some mobo even on the public BIOS does support the Xeon. Some of these Xeon have pretty much Q9650 for workstations and they are cheaper.
I got around 5 to 6 LGA 775 CPUs with me. And the latest and best 775 CPU i got was the Q9650 which is the locked version of your QX9650.
I did own one QX series but it was the older QX6800 which had a stock speed of 2.93GHz.
Even with a beefy cooler like CoolerMaster Hyper 212X the temps on stock speeds is a toasty 60+ degrees in a room temp close to 32 degrees. On the Q9650 i getting only 40 to 50 plus degrees on stock and mild OC to 3.6GHz
For your OC is really on the nuts side but still understanable considering how hot these CPUs runs. You are def pulling excess of 400+ watts just the CPU alone when running Cinebench.
Most of the HWBot scores were on custom waterloops. But imo for you to get 500 score. You need to up the cooling to the 240 or 280mm AIO coolers. And blast that fan on the VRMs.
Some guys have actually better luck with the Q9650 with 5GHz OC with around 1.664v on the vCore. And it was on air cooling as well. The mobo is the GA-EP45 series which are P45 chipset boards from Gigabyte.
The mobos from Gigabyte and Asus were the best mobo to get for OC. P35, P43, P45 and X48 are the few boards to get. But only the P43, P45 and X48 had DDR3 support.
I paid around 280 dollars on ebay for the Asus X48 chipset mobo with the Q9650 and 8GB of DDR3 which i swapped out for 4x2GB of DDR3 1333MHz. I find it odd when the board did boot with one DDR3 1600MHz but refuse to boot with 4 sticks. Seems like i not the only one who have troubles with 1600MHz RAMs. It seems that LGA775 loves Sk hynix and Samsung RAM chips for best stability. My RAMs were taken from old HP machine and work flawlessly at 1333MHz and all 8GB. My major drawback is the GPU which has only 1GB of VRAM so i can only play games at 720p res.
Yes i agree with you. The Ryzen 2200G with high speed RAM will wipe the floor off this old beast without a sweat.
Owning and running 775 CPUs are most def for old school guys like us to have fun.
My Q6600 was my HTPC setup with Windows 10 until the mobo decided to die on me. So i switch to the Ryzen 3 2200G for my 4K TV screening.
Very impressive for a Core 2! I couldn't get my qx9770 passed 4.2 but I was using a Noctua NHD-14 With 3 coolink swif2 120P fans to cool it. I did get the Phenom IIx4 980 to 4.5 GHz NB/HT 2000 with DDR3 1600 but it got pretty hot using a Noctua NH-D14 plus I got about the same performance as 4.5 GHz by just overclocking the NB to 2800 and keeping the CPU clock at 4.2 GHz.
In India currently a used think centre with core2duo cost around 30 dollars I bought one as Linux machine , and I added a core2quad q9550 for 7 dollar which more then doubled its performance and is able to do day to day task without any glitch endlessly all day long with 4 gb ram and a 7200rpm and it performs way better then my ThinkPad with i5 4rth gen
I am gonna have to bookmark this. I am currently working on a Core2 Quad build and have been looking for a compatible board.
Still a great video! Just rewatching it on a Q9650 system. Finally a fast PC. :D

Got a X5460 (A Xeon, which is basically a C2Q) @ 4.1 GHz (9x456 FSB) under 1.4v with 8 GB DDR2 @ 912 CL6 CR2 and a GTX 660 Ti and can confirm that the platform isn't dead yet. Around 450 in CB R15, 150 FPS in CS:GO, 90 in Tomb Raider on high, 440 in Unreal. Cooled with a Hyper 212 EVO it never tops above 77°C on the cores.
The platform benefits from high FSB, That is the biggest benefit of running DDR3 on it. Something like 500 FSB with a 9x multi for the same 4.5 GHz, then some tight timings like DDR3 1200 with CL6/7.
Also tweaking the GTLs will help with reducing Vcore, same goes for the VTT and PLL. Doing it with VCore only is just brute forcing it and will lower longevity immensly.

welcome to the 775 crew, q8400 here
Best youtuber in 2018........properly innovative all the time
I have a MSI that supports ddr3 and ddr2! But I quit using that setup with a Xeon X3350 and 8gb of Kingston 1333! I gave it up for a I5 7600K, RX580 8gb and 24 gb ddr4! Soon to be swapping it out for a Ryzen 7 1700 to save a little bit of power!
It's crazy because it shows the slow changes nowadays on the CPU market - hopefully the changes with the new Ryzen competition will continue :D
i have no regrets on my hp it was free with a dual core pentium slapped a q9650 maxed the mobo with 8 gig ddr2 and put a r7 260x 2 gig and it plays newer games it was just a fun project
To be honest, the Core 2 Extreme QX9775 SLANY runing at 3.2 GHZ is the fastest C2 Quad
The Core2 Extreme QX9775 is just a QX9770 that can run using dual CPUs. They're identical otherwise. But yes, the QX9770/QX9775 are the fastest LGA-775 CPUs ever made. And they seem to clock to 4.2ghz without too much difficulty. They also have a 1600mhz FSB that helps them too.
Being waiting for the newest upload! Bout time!!
was so excited couldn't spell been*
I did the same thing with an Abit IP35Pro ddr2 board and a Xeon X5460. Got mine to 3.9ghz with barely any voltage increase, I was able to push it just over 4.4ghz and backed off because the system was for sale. Every test I ran at 3.9ghz was equal to an i5 3rd and 4th gen stock. Socket 775 as long as your able to overclock is still relevant.
Sean Neves
Why you all do the shitty DDR 2 build, can't clock them any high that way!!! U used a sticker to connect the socked, or home painting skills, liquid metal used to repair the car windows heating circuits.
able to run on fast DDR 3, still very good nForce i780 chipsets, able to run any 2018 title in 1080p on high settings running modern GPU cards!
lucas rem what? I refurbished 1 of my old builds, I didn't use a sticker or paint, or liquid metal of any kind. Instead of talking about things you don't know about why don't you take 5 minutes and look up Xeon 775 on google... with a 775 Xeon there is no motherboard mod or stickers required just a simple microcode update... Xeon's are basically Binned chips and back in the 775 and 1366 sockets used less voltage for the same or better performance making them excellent for overclocking...
Sean Neves
The 775 Xeons are not as good as some 771 CPU's!!! lower levels.....
u used way to many text, just say, ' i bought the 775 cheaper model, not needing ECC!!!!' why you cry as mad as timmy? nerdy too?
Try to find nice i780 boards!!!!!!!! talk less, your are not that smart, read more! Why did we used cheap 771 Xeons back then, not needing the $1000 Quad Core Extreme CPU's, running on less good DDR2!
DDR3 platforms are still totally relevant as long as you trust the seller/have a test session before buying and then give it proper air blow and Wd40 shower in every component onto motherboard and PSU.
i got one of these chips in 2011...threw it in a dell xps 420(i know) and chucked in a 500gb ssd and a gtx660ti...one day it will all meet a new 2nd hand ddr3 mobo...until then here i am still rocking the xps :)
just bought an i7 2600k which also need`s a decent mobo to call home :)
the QX9770 is the fastest LGA 775 CPU and damn are those things hard to come by, but get this the QX9775 is on the LGA 771 socket and goes on a special intel dual socket board for enthusiasts called Skulltrail, Asus also had a decent looking board for it too
Hive Gaming But that will be moster even in 2018. Can you please send me some link of non server dual motherboard?
But here is the real question. How does the QX9775 like the lga 771 to 775 mod????
Same as the Xeon Lga771 to 775? My Xeon came premodded, and needed a bios mod. Sweet 10k$ cpu for 20$ for a secondary system :P
I have one doing nothing with it hit me up
I've got a Q9550 paired with a 1050ti and a 860 Evo SSD. Only 8 GB of ddr2 but I'm still able to play every game at 1080p with 60+ FPS. It's good enough for me!
Gigabyte EP45T UD3R and 9650 here with 8 megs DDR2 running at 4.1. with a 1070 ftw. (yes bottlenecked) air cooled with a 212 evo in a push pull configuration. I ran an EVE mining company with 8 accounts open at once with no problems Witcher 3 Ultra settings /hair. No problems runs Valley benchmark at 1080p, 120+ fps. I only play World of Warships/War Thunder and Elder Scrolls on line. Ultra settings on all. Want to upgrade for giggles but cant justify it.
Long live socket 775!
This comment might get marked as $PAM. But it's not.
I have this motherboard: www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-EP45-DS3L-rev-10#support-cpu
and it says it supports this CPU: Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (ebay.us/oBn3OK)
Wonder what you could get out of it! Looking to put the fastest ram and CPU I can in it. Definitely not spending 100 dollars on a CPU though! Might settle with the one you used in this video though.
Nice, but with a DX48BT2 you can have that CPU mixed with DDR3 @ 1600MHz...
Will it work in dell optiplix 760 core 2 duo E 8400 ?
I bought a C2Q Q8300 for 9$ US, shipping included and a 5$ US heatsink/fan on ebay and overclocked the living shit out of it and i was surprised to see how high i could overclock it. The Q8300 runs at 2500mhz and i have mine at 3750mhz with a 5$ heatsink. I play CoD AND WoW and mine Monero when im not playing so it's at 100% load 24/7 and it never goes above 70C . Intel rates it at 74.9C but the C2Q can run at 85C safely for a long ass time. I tried to kill my C2D buy running it at 89C for a month and it was stable from 84C to 89C .... Those damn intel Core 2 are hard to kill. Also, i have 3 of those 5$ fan/heatsinks from ebay and they are the best bang for the buck i have ever purchased. 5$ shipped gets you a heatsink, a fan, a set of brackets and termal paste. How it's possible to make money selling those for 5$ shipped is a mystery to me.
Dude your my favorite! “Impossibly fast” what vehicle do you drive? Show us and say it’s impossibly fast!!! Great job with the history of our hobby.

Just a bad uplaod, not having any good 775 board, weird parts!
Need weird builds, you need Timmy! in real 2005 it was not so, but who cards what Timmy cry's, a grownup body, inside a kido, lol!
The only bottleneck of 775 is the FSB, you should try to max out it (you should get around 480~500 when tweaking right the clock skew and GTL voltage) then increase the multiplier (maybe the ram to 1600+ cas 6 or 7) and you get the best performance for 775 :D
If you can't push more the ram you need to increase the NB voltage at 1.5V
The only thing is missing for me is a QX9650, I have only a Q9550@4.1GHz running on the Asus Rampage extreme with 16GB of ddr3 running at 1600 or 1700 I don't remember :/
Also the best board you can get for 775 is an Gigabyte EP45T Extreme or EP45T UD3R, with P45 gigabyte motherboard (only on that combo) you can push the FSB around 550MHz and have the fastest bandwidth to allow the benefit of using 1600+MHz ddr3 ;)
Thanks tips
For many years I kept my Q9650 at ~4.33 GHz 24/7 in my home virtualization server that was also used occasionally for gaming.
www.3dmark.com/fs/178915
It also had VT-d for GPU passthrough that worked well.
My new favorite PC channel!
That's crazy for socket 775 I didn't know that was possible. 🤘
2 weeks ago: bought an ASUS P5Q-E bundled with a Q9550 and 8GB DDR2 1066Mhz for 35 EUR. P5Q-E lasted 1 hour until two RAM slots went dead during "normal" OC operation.
1 week ago: bought a Gigabyte EP45-DS3 (really budget P45 Board) bundled with some useless E8400 + Ruby Orb Cooler for 18 EUR.
today: running the Q9550 @471 Mhz FSB / 4 Ghz at 1.38 Vcore with a spare GTX 960 4GB, playing games i could play much better on my i7 + Vega64, but .. no... that's not it !
now: being happy :)
Makes me glad I'm running an Ivy Bridge i5-3450 with 16GB RAM and a GTX 1060 6GB, even though it's inside a Dell Vostro 470 meaning no overclocking the processor. I plan on replacing the i5 with an i7-3770 later this year or sometime next year.
I have a q9650 that i could only get to 3.6ghz on air. And only for a short time. Nice OC you got there TJ👊
just because the multiplier is unlocked on the QX, The Q9650 is actually better paired with P5QL-EM over-clocks madness! 5ghz = if hit the lotto which is easier to do! Get a air cooler all copper DuOrb by thermal-take with a ASUS GTX 670. Beautiful experience... #MUSHKIN RAM,, Always!.... #MadeInUSA
I have a q9550, 8g ddr2, 2g on a asus 2013...playing all games still prety good until this days
i have coffe lake system and 775 core 2 duo, and play games on both.. I play a bit newer games on coffe lake system and i play older games with a wireless controller on the core 2 system. I enjoy both.
hehe I love this kinda stuff. I have a QX9650 at 4.8 with a 360mm rad and ek supremacy evo, 2GHz hyperx T1 8GB on a 790i FTW
I'm putting together a cheap 775 test system and I want a good CPU cooler that's not too expensive. Do you have any recommendations?
I was able to get an Acer Q8300 to overclock to 2950mhz and I thought that was great for Setfsb and an OEM. 4.5 GHz is awesome Timmyjoe
Nice Vid! I build a retro rig with a Xeon X5470 modded in a Gigabyte EP45 Extreme recently. Why you would build this instead of a modern platform? Because it is beautiful! :D It's humming along nicely on 4.2 @ 1.375V with a 780Ti
I retired my E8500 Core2Duo a couple of years ago, I had considered getting one of those QX9650's as an upgrade but at the time they where much more expensive than they are now (you can get them fairly cheap on ali now) but I just built my current i5 skylake system and it's good enough for now :) (My next machine should be AMD if things keep going the way they are now.)
I got like 4.4ghz stable on my Q6600 after I lapped it and ran pretty cool with a V2 all copper cooler back in the day. Definitely raised the room temp and the decibels haha!
I relegated the desktop to CAD work mostly since yeah, they're dated...
have same system, 8+2 vrm but replaced the board with a ROG maximus 2 with a 16 phase, now the board has a q6600 in it at 3.6ghz.
The qx9650 ran 4.5ghz for like a year then i backed it down to 4.0ghz (80% clocks, only 60% of the power draw much better) and its still like that today.
corrections, hyperthreading was out before this in the pentium 4's, also some asus lga775 boards had usb3, you're using way to high of a voltage, 1.55 is the normal limit for these chips and generally all you need, your loadline calibration would have been good to look at.
Awesome Video
wish you sent Beast QX9650 to me as i still gaming with Q6600
How did you overclock it.... My motherboard is not supported for overclock... My motherboard processor socket is lga 775 and using intel core 2 quad q9300 2.5ghz.... Ddr3 1066 mhz 8gb..... Gtx 750 ti
Thats crazy, years ago that would be a bomb
Wooow 4.5 GHz
Max- Hacker
mad build, he needs a board! DDR 3 board, posting junk!
weird bottleneck build, crap for RUclips Noobs only! nobody needs his crap! He need hits, a low level Job, stupid people hits hahahaha.......
I didn't understand
Love you timmy. Fun video bro.
i have the same motherboard with 8gb ddr3 1600, a xeon x5470 @ 4.2 GHz and a gtx 780. its my main computer and it rocks
I'm using a Q9400 on ddr3 ram I didn't know that it was so rare to find ddr3 motherboards for 775 cpus
What motherboard you are using ?
Play with the NB voltage to get the RAM to 1600Mhz. Also crank the RAM voltage to 1.6~1.65V.
The nvidia 790i sli mobo supported ddr3 ram up to 1600 mhz as well as the beloved socket 775 chipset.
the q9650 is the god of all processors im accually gaming on it at 4k bought it for 40 bucks
Did you try to set the priority to real time in task manager? I've always got a bit better scores with trick
And Jumper118 (the guy who is 1. in that list 6:50) have got 501 points on a Q9650 @ 4.474GHz so hitting 500 points on your QX9650 @ 4.51GHz could be possible.
Awsome video bro :)
nice work bro
I have a question, that no one can give me an answer to. So I still have an AMD FX 8350 and I'm planning to upgrade my GPU to a 970. I've done a little bit of research but nothing really convinced me, when speaking about whether the 8350 bottlenecks it or not. What do you think?
The good spot for these QX9000 CPUs its actually around 4Ghz, anything over that will need high voltages, good cooling, active VRM cooling, and still will degrade the CPU over time.
But at 4Ghz u can get there with reasonable voltages, good cooling and passive VRM cooling, and it wont degrade the CPU over time.
