im1992,
What was the FSB of the chip? The Q8200's is 1333, and would take a 429MHz fsb to get to 3.0GHz. To get to 3.4GHz it would take 486MHz, which can cause problems with the memory speed depending on the MB, memory multipliers and such.
Russ
the stock fsb of the chip was 266mhz and i took it to 490mhz

My Juices are flowing. Cant wait to try it out. Tomorrow is pay day soon as i get out of work driving on over to the store to grab. Does anyone know if there is a certain batch code i should be looking for an anything else?

chop2113,
I know the ones they have at Newegg are M1 stepping. I'm not even sure if there is another stepping for the Q8200 at this time, or how good the M1 stepping is.

What would an E6300 that clocks to 3.4ghz with 1.35v sell for?
EDIT: this is a 24/7 stable speed.

it seems as though there are 2 diff. steppings:
The M1: http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLB5M
and the R0: http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLG9S
according to this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview....hreadid=2224984
R0 is like E0
M1 is like C1
sooo i would go for a R0 revision of the cpu if at all possible, as the R0 is the same as the E0 and that means that it will overclock higher/easier
-im1992
im1992,
Just remember the code, SLG9S as you can read that on the box, but no mention of the stepping. That way you will know right away if it's the right one!
Russ
oh no
i cant get one
its in store pick up only and the closest store to me is a 120 miles away.... lol
btw, i think i may just end up keeping this q6700.i think i had to run it at a lower speed first in order to get it up to a higher speed
right now i have it at 350 x 10 = 3500mhz stable for 25mins now at 100% cpu...hehe
i will still be buying the q9650! i want a quad that goes to 4ghz!!!

Then you're buying the right chip, the Q9650 is one of the few proven 4Ghz Quad cores, as it only requires 445FSB to do so, even the P35 and X38 can manage that.

Sam's right on that one. the Q9650 would be your best bet. You would also want 1066 memory with your CPU multiplier because if your motherboard uses memory multipliers, using the 2.40 multi, would would put the memory at 1068. I ran my E6750 at 3.55GHz on the 444 fsb, and the memory was spot on at 1066! 800MHz memory couldn't run any slower than 890MHz on the lowest memory multiplier, 2.00!

Yeah 2.0x is as low as it goes. You need at least 890mhz to pull 4Ghz on a Q9650, and that's a tall order for PC6400, you really want PC8500 for it.

Ok guys heres the scoop. Got to the store sold out of course. So i had some discount coupons for being a frequent shopper. So i got the Q9400 for $120usd. Now whats the safest i can go as far as voltage. I know the intel specs are 1.3625 max. Just curious. I got it to 3.6 at 1.35vmemory 1:1 so that was 900mhz which brings me to my next question. I have it now at 3.4 1.3v and the memory at 1133mhz 1.9v. I ask you this is the way i have it now a faster setup than going to 3.6 and the mem be at 900mhz.I would think that the higher you can get both settings would be better like i have it now than having a high cpu speed and a low memory speed. Please edumacate me:)

1.35 is nice and safe. 1.4V won't be too bad long term though.

Heres an intriguing question. Lets say that there were a board, that could support 4 phenom II processors. What would you build then? Please note that 4 Phenom II processors are cheaper than 1 Nehalem.
LOL! Imagine 16 Cores, doing your dirty work LOL!

500 bucks
they were out of stock on the q9650s so i said eff it, i will just get the i7 965
AND my mom offered to pay for it!
i cant wait for it to get here, it will be here by next Friday 4/17

Well... im officially jealous. I would not mind putting it up against the Phenom II for some real benchmarking. SEEING is believing!

once i get it, lets do those benchies! haha
i would also LOVE to see what Intel's top cpu has to offer.
tell me what benchmarks to run, and we can compare results.
btw, do you guys know where I can get the LGA1366 clip for the Zalman CNPS9700 cooler? is the Zalman CNPS9700 even good enough for the i7 965?

No offense, but throw that Zalman in the for sale box. You need a really good cooler with that CPU. A TRUE or maybe a V8. The 9700 is just not enough cooler, especially if you overclock!

A board supporting four Phenom IIs would cost more than the Nehalem CPU does on its own, so irrelevant... :P
im: No, the CNPS9700 is basically no better than the Freezer 7 Pro, a midrange cooler, but that's it. A 965, esp an overclocked one would shut down easily with that cooler. My friend has a 940 oc'ed to 4Ghz, and even with a Noctua NH-U12P, one of the TRUE rivals, he reaches 70ºC main. Needless to say, get a TRUE 1366RT.
By the way, a stock i7 965 is likely to outpace the 3.5Ghz Phenom II by about 25-30%. And then you can overclock it!

awwww crap!
i cant afford anything else for now...
my mom paid like 400 bucks for the i7 965 and i paid a 100 (thats pretty much all i had)
AND i still need a mobo and some ddrIII ram (i get my paycheck next week)
can i just run it at stock speeds for now on the CNPS9700? or is that asking too much?
how good is the stock cooler that comes with the i7 965? maybe i will just use that...
LOL
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103471
is that the best cpu offered by AMD?
if it is, AMD is getting really cheap these days and if that 200 buck cpu is the top of the line, then i would be happy if it performed even 1/5th that of the Nehalems
if it is indeed ONLY 30% below the i7 965 clock for clock, then i think building an AMD right now is cheap and AWESOME!
i mean really, i dont even need the power that the Q6700 provides, much less the i7 965...i just got it cause i was getting a deal

The CNPS9700 doesn't have a mount for it, it won't even work at all without buying one extra. You can probably buy one extra, but if you're spending money, you may as well buy a useful cooler.
The stock cooler will work, but forget about overclocking, an i7 965 uses 70% more power than a 45nm Core 2 Quad.
The Phenom II 940 is the fastest AMD chip so far. It's cheap, because even the Q9400 beats it (and you'll notice that's also a cheap CPU) AMD just can't produce anything faster. I'm surprised they haven't made a faster Phenom II given they seem to overclock alright, but perhaps there's some board-specific reason that means they'd only work with top end boards.

oh wow, i hope AMD comes out with something better...otherwise, be ready to start paying Intel a 1000 bucks just for a celeron and 10,000 bucks for the Extreme Editions!
