Qx9750!!! :)

Hey all, i just got a free QX9750!!! im totally stoked. I havent put it in yet cuz i dont have thermal past so ill have to wait till monday. I will deffinaly post some pics too. But im curious. i cant really find many spec about it. I have an ASUS P5n-t Deluxe MOBO. The FBS is rated at 1333. But i have seen stuff that says that the QX9750 is 1600...or 1333...or even 1066. There is alot of werid stuff out there about it. So dosent anyone really kno the specs about it and if i can actually use it?

 

EDIT: if you have one it is one of the rarest chips in the world as it was not released to the public.

 

no i have it right here man. Its sopose to be a a mix of the QX9775(or 9770) and the QX96xx somthin. It was never released to the public. only to intels staff and my dad knos a guy who wrks there and he gave it to him for me cuz he didnt need it.

 

whoa wait...rare? wow..cool :hatty: but...is it good?

 

Yes........ its probs go for like $1000's on ebay.

 

dang...maybe ill just sell it lol but dod i need a new mobo to run it?

 

Its socket 775 so it should work in your mobo.

 

But i wont get a decrease in preformace from a lower FBS will i?...

 

Come on now....it has extreme in the name and its quadcore.

 

lol i kno i kno...but still...haha just curious mostly. im still gonna use the bad boy

 

dude y dont u build a knew machine with that

u got the right PSU
jst buy a good mobo...Asus P5Q series if want CF...or EVGA780i...if want SLI

& to the preference of ur mobo...buy a new graphics card
go for the HD4890 / or the GTX285

good luck...& buy a good set of 2x2GB 1066+ RAM to OC that rare thing

 

Asus P5NT is 780i chipset my good man.

 

See, I never get lucky like that. I just need to know the right people apparently. Once you get it installed and running, you'll have to post your scores with it, how fast you complete things, and so on and so forth. Very sweet chip you got man, lucky dog you. It should probably give your Xeon chip a run for the money and should definitely overclock much higher so long as your cooler is up to it.


I want pics.

 

Ooo is it an ES? Those are gonna be fun to OC !

 

Oops...sorry about that...thanx for clearing it up

 

Nice one, wish i new people with decent PC parts to give me. The only people i know would give me a pentium 3 or something like that. Get that bad boy installed and Oc as much as you can, then bench the hell out of it!

 

hmm if itz rare and u can get a few $thousands, I'd sell and get an i7 rig, but that's just me, your dad may not be happy with you selling it

 

I think he'd understand though. Technically you would have sold one CPU for a much faster and up to date CPU, plus motherboard and DDR3 memory. Good deal if i ever saw one.

 

Nobody is selling a QX9750 on ebay....and I doubt you'd have an easy time selling it being that Intel gives absolutely no information about it. Likely to get reported for it.

 

lol i kno im was quite lucky hehe and i will definalty post pics and attempt OCin and benchin when i get it in. I definalty need new ram tho lol and yes my Xeon is pretty much goin bye bye haha my dad is gonna make a music server for it lol
