I was expecting a good chip but this just awesome
Q9550 Batch L847C032, VID = 1.15v, 3.4Ghz stable at 1.08v :ohyeah:

Current OC
3.4Ghz (400x8.5) @ 1.08v Real - Linpack Stable :cool2:
Ram - 800Mhz 1:1 CL4 tRFC:48 PL7 1.9v
MCH/NB Voltage - 1.148v (1.100v Stock)
VTT - 1.21v (Stock)
Ambient Temp - 28C / AC On
vCore
Core0 Core1 Core2 Core3

Next stop 4.5G :lol:
 
Got it from microcenter.

I'm a lil confused :S CoreTemp is reporting 1.150 as VID.
How is it that I'm running a 20% OC by undervolting then?

VID is 1.15 only :P after vdroop u are getting lower , the 1.025 VID is for 2ghz after speedstep ( 333 x 6 ) and C1E enabled i guess .

Okay so the VID is 1.15 :P But its not vdroop, I've set 1.12 in bios.

The chip doesn't need a lot juice I guess

^^ nice chip... but use CPU-Z to get your actual vcore
I use CupZ only, just wanted to see the VID reported by CoreTemp.
 
Achieved a 3.8Ghz OC on my Q9550, IBT Stable @ 1.14v :D
..thats something you dont see everyday :P

Q9550 3825Mhz (450x8.5) @ 1.14v
Ram 1:1 900Mhz CL5
NB - 1.22v
VTT - 1.25v

Started to get error in OCCT even though it was IBT Stables. Had to up the VTT to 1.28v and vNB to 1.232v

3 Hours OCCT Stable (Large data set)

Ambient Temp || Core0 || Core1 || Core2 || Core3 || vCore
 
I just bought a Q9550, couldn't be arsed to buy a new mobo and RAM for an i7, when you won't even begin to see the full potential of a Q9550 (in games) for quite a while yet.

So anyway, max. VID is 1.1250 and min. VID is 1.1000, is this good? It's an E0. I haven't overclocked it yet, but I'm going to when I get my new DDR2-1066...

My DDR2-667 can't really handle any overclocking, but I have thought about undervolting it till I can do a proper overclocking... :cool2:

EDIT: I see my minimum VID is higher than yours, but the maximum is lower. I suppose I can take this two ways: it's worse than yours if I want to undervolt it, and it's better if I want to overclock it a lot? Most likely, that is... Since every chip isn't the same :p

From what I've observed is that VID doesn't really matter much.

Before Q9550 , I had a E8400(3Ghz) whose VID was also in 1.2xx range but it did 4Ghz at around 1.25v BIOS/1.21v Actual.

And my current chip is also doing ~3.8Ghz at 1.14-1.15v Actual, VID being 1.15v...
So, buy the 1066 ram sticks and see how your chip does, best of luck :)

And here I was thinking I almost definitely had an amazing overclocker...

Oh well, thanks :hap2:
