Intel Q9550 Gaming Desktop

[johnie1992]

Awesome gaming rig but you need a better video card! :D an 5870 would be an good idia

[davidclaudiu2]

ONG I HAVE THIS EXACT PROCESSOR

[LaffenFXP]

you might want to turn your lights ON when you film

[xXprojectt2501Xx]

That 500w power supply is not enough for 2x 260s and a q9550.

[qbthething]

i overlocked my q9550 to with 1.06v it stays on 32 idle and 42 load :| on air.... 790i and ddr3 ftw, also i think i have the e0 compared to your c1.

[1981z28camaro]

what's it going to take to get Crysis maxed out, and play at 80 fps?

[XxaravixX]

a fkn 5970 is triple crossfire and a i7 extreme at 4ghz and ddr3 1600mhz :D

[1981z28camaro]

lol, a 5970 is not triple crossfire, it's TWO GPU's in one, that makes it Crossfire with just the ONE card.

[olmatenightfox]

@XxaravixX FUCKIN NOOB DONT KNOW WHAT UR TALKING ABOUT a 5970 has 2 Gpu's in it already, and it can only have 2 cards in crossfire coz there is a limit to 4 gpus

[XxaravixX]

u fkn retard i was implying that its near impossible to get 80fps on crysis nowadays. if u want to play at 1080p with maxed out u need that sort of bandwith that is what i was meaning

[thivas88]

Ask u somethink?

U have buy the Crysis???

[123foraflee]

hi

Can u tell me what program are u running at 1:16 that shows temps etc ?

thanks

[Patron1520]

the program is called SpeedFan,,,

[wpday07]

Thats CPUID then Speedfan, dont isntall Speedfan bad for your computer aparently.

[nawaz2kx]

my q9550 is so shit at multi tasking :s i just installed a clean copy of vista ultimate 64 as well. i just bought a new xfx 750i sli motherboard and i cant overclock it 100mhz without it freezing.. so i left it at stock now (2.83ghz)

[DonkeyBonrProduction]

because you dont know how to overclock

[nawaz2kx]

even if i didnt know how to overclock i would still get it to over 3ghz easy idiot. it was the motherboard so i gave it back

[DonkeyBonrProduction]

and yet you said your q9550 is shit? ok champ

[1981z28camaro]

that motherboard you got, is shit, just so you know, probably why it runs so bad. Nforce Mobo's were abandoned, you should look into getting yourself an X48 Mobo.

[nawaz2kx]

people are still overclocking q9550's to 4ghz so its good enough for me

[1981z28camaro]

yeah, I don't overclock, afraid I'm gonna melt my computer :-)

[1981z28camaro]

not trying to make fun of your system, just letting you know, lol

[cerreragt]

My Specs:

Q9550 2.83

Asus P5Q Pro P45

4GB 800MHz RAM

MSI R4870 1GB GDDR5

600 Watts Power supply

if i just increase the FSB to 376 for overclocking upto 3.2 GHz will i be Fine for 24/7 use or i have to increase anything else.??Thank you.

[CentaurusPC]

You should be fine even without voltage increases. Just watch out for the memory - it will go up too, so you will prolly have to change memory multyplier, or whatever it's called to keep it around 800-850

[cerreragt]

That means i have to change the Ram frequency to 800 or 850 MHz manually ..?

and if i go to 3.4GHz do i have to increase the voltage any further.?

[CentaurusPC]

Yes you will need to adjust RAM manually, some memory can go higher than stock - it's overclockable too, some can take higher voltage up to 2.0-2.1, it's your risk. About voltage for the CPU - test it, at 3.4Ghz it will probably need extra voltage. Use Prime95 (4 instances ) to test it on 100% load

[RavenholmHunter]

@cerreragt we get it we get it you have awesome pc wooow big deaal

[cjit26]

i overcloked a 9550 @ 4.3ghz with liquid sistem n the average was 28c-35c

[coolzizo]

ok man maybe i buy zalman cnps 9900

led it is good for high performence pc??

[CentaurusPC]

Get zalman, it will be the best. Expect 25-30C idle, 45-50C loaded, if you overclock it all depends on your voltage

[trisanosh]

Get the Coolermaster Z600 it's definitely one of the best cpu air coolers and hook up two 120mm fans for best overclock results

I can run (Q9550@4GHZ with load temperature of max. +/-45C!!!!!!

[coolzizo]

what the best cpu fan temp very low temp ocz Vanquisher or zalman cnps 9900 or ocz Vendetta 2 on this 3 cpu fan only

[CentaurusPC]

I have not used either one of them. But if OCZ Vanquisher is that good and Vendetta is better - it would be good for you. I have used Zalman 9700 and it was perfect. I think Zalman should be little better

[coolzizo]

i want ask what the best cpu fan zalman CNPS 9900 or ocz Vendetta 2 on temp

i want my core 2 quad q9550 very cooled

on (cpu using 100%) temp 45 or under 60

[coolzizo]

ok man thinks just i want order cpu fan ocz Vendetta 2 i don't know were i can founded this cpu fan on the internet this is best cpu fan in Q4 2008

[CentaurusPC]

Everything is fine

[coolzizo]

is this specs is not opposed with all parts

[coolzizo]

aha ok thinks man

[CentaurusPC]

Yes it's going to be good for anything. I have almost the same just with GTX 260 and it runs everything maxed

[coolzizo]

i have now (1)Thermaltake Xaser VI VG4000SWA (2)Gigabyte Odin GT 800W

(3) Maxtor DiamondMax Drive 500GB SATA

7,200RPM 32MB Cache

After then i want buy this pc spec :

1.Cpu Core 2 quad q9550

2.Gigabyte ep45-ud3p

3.Ram ocz Reaper 8500 1066Mgz 2Gb 2x 4GB

4.vga sapphire ATi Hd 4870 1Gb

is this spec is good for any game Very High Resioltin

[CentaurusPC]

Case is Rosewill Conqueror. It's not really well known brand but that particular case is awesome - it was created together with Silverstone - which provided fans for it by the way. Great cooling and sturdy construction.

[macbook56]

What case do you have?

[CentaurusPC]

Cooler is OCZ Vanquisher - analog of Freezer 7 from AC. The secret is in good case ventilation

[GraniteWhip]

Hey, I didn't catch that. What cpu cooler do you have?

[GraniteWhip]

The 9550 is much better than the 6600. The specs speak for themselves.

[norb088]

i want the same pc that u have. nice

[legends84]

I have intel core2quad 6600 GO stepping and intend to change to Q9550.. it's worth to change from Q6600 to Q9550??

[karlos218]

no, if anything you should go to i7 at least but it means a new mobo and ram

[legends84]

hmm.. thanks.. I sticks with the Q6600, now trying to save some money for core i7.. maybe next month i can get the i7 system..

[GraniteWhip]

The 9550 is much better than the 6600. The specs speak for themselves. They 9550 also can overclock further.
