You claim that this is a 24/7 setting yet you only prime test for 30mins ? :stick:

Its enough! :)

[garnin]

You're better off running dual super-pi 32M than running small FFT's for 30 minutes, but neither really proves 24/7 stability.

[John600rr]

Thats pretty good, even for just 30 minutes. My 6600 would need 1.45+ VCore to run 30 seconds at his speed.

[grimREEFER]

up the vcore and let it run for 8 hours

[miochza]

Even 30 min, that is much better than my chip can do. My core would have to be 1.5v (at least) for 370 fsb.

Same here! :(

[andyisc00l]

you should really bump the voltage up to 1.5v curious to see prime stable looks like a good chip

[Der_KHAN]

wow, i thought the 6600's would average much higher

[Drow]

Air or water cooling?

[sombrio]

Air cooling - Thermalright xp-90c + noiseblocker xe2.

[Durzel]

30 mins Prime doesn't mean anything, sorry.

[TL1000S]

30 mins Prime doesn't mean anything, sorry.

I disagree...
30min dual Prime means that the setup potentially is "24/7-stable", but may need better ventilation (aircooled in case).. or a slight bump of VCore to be verified 24/7-stable (at a given clock).

[sombrio]

My temps at 25 minutes of prime are:

Processor - 49º
Core 1 - 65º
Core 2 - 65º

2xSP20004 (30 minutes) + 2xSPI (32M) at the same time.

ONLY V1.35 VCORE IN BIOS :woot: :woot: :woot:

Nice results indeed !and nice ram ;)

I bet you could be dual prime stable 24/7 with at reasonable Vcore (1.40/1.42 )

I'm fine with that bios too , and dual prime stable with actual lower Vcore ( 1.48 vs 1.51v 4 days before )

Why give it volts if it doesn't need it? And with air cooling 1.55v is a bit high would it give you a thrill if he knackered it up following your stupid suggestion?

read the actual serial number on the processor that starts with L6 for example.. a week 23 is L623 and a week 24 would be L624 and 25 would be L625 for the first 4 characters.

OK I was a bit hard, at this very moment I am running the same CPU with the same batch code on water and the temps rocket after 1.5v so on air I wouldn't be surprised if it could cope, I was trying to stop the guy from a possible disaster.

Ohh really?

I've ran with nearly passive cooling (TT SonicTower with no fan on - but a 120mm about 15cm away pointed at it..) - 1.6v, 48 hours dual P95... - At 400*9...

But anyhow, please, could you guys please just keep it with ONE THREAD, Intel section is getting overrunned by new members who feal like "look at my new config" instead of posting it in one single thread, and who gives a damn, put it in signature unless its something really worth looking at like when Kyosen, Coolaler etc. pulls off a 5ghz+ clock.

[Frackal]

up the vcore and let it run for 8 hours


Honestly why? What is going to stress his system anywhere near 8 hours of dual prime nonstop unless he does something special?


Even gaming nonstop has enough breaks in it to allow the processor to cool down whereas with P95 your temps will continually creep up to a point where they might never get to in 24/7 usage

[aggybong]

I don't even consider 8 hours of Prime95 good enough. I shoot for 24 hours, that way I know (or at least 99.9% sure) I'll never have stability issues.

[dissident]

you are better off pushing it to the limite early on to make sure everything is stable then to have something fail later. Don't be afraid to let it prime for a full day, or until it fails. Don't think by ignoring it that it goes away. If you want to be sure, take your settings and at the very least prime it overnight.

If it's unstable it will stop and no harm done.

[Revv23]

wow, i cant belive 3.3 is considered good ,i hope i have better luck then that, tohugh, personally i wouldn't think twice about 1.6v, so maybe iwould have a clock or two more ;)

[uclajd]

I agree that that one thread for overclocking results is nice, but I find the "look at my new results" posts a helluva lot more "worth looking at" for my purchasing needs than some guy LN2-ing his ES chip for suicide runs. Frankly, most people, even here, will be running retail chips, and sure as hell not on LN2 or DI. And even if one does use extreme cooling methods, air reports give you a good starting point.

God bless Coolaler, but have we not seen a noticable difference in overclocking ESs vs. retail chips?

I can't get enough of the retail overclocking reports; but yes, put them in the Conroe overclocking thread.

FWIW, this is the Intel hardware forum, not the extreme overclocking forum. ;)

And speaking of sigs M.Beier, how about including your voltage on that 6600 overclock! :stick:

I've actually reported my post too 2 mods, in order too check up on things, it seems ok though, cause I know I was a bit.. Ruff..

It just sucks with alot of "clone-threads" when theres a sticky that indicates that people can post it there..
About my sig: Well, Im getting a kit for my mach II very soon, so I kinda' waiting for that, and actually, Im running watercooled with only 1.575v atm - cant wait for that socket kit too arrive.. - I'd like too ORB hunt as well, Guatam Mikeguava and I have some unfinished X850-series buisness ;)

i run rosetta@home with my e6600@ 370x9 like yours with 1.425v 24\7 ram @1:1 4-3-3-12 but on a ab9pro crap in singel mode 2x1gb pdp pc5300 xblk

[geforce man]

same week as my allendale, L624A, and im also hitting really nice clocks with low voltages. like, 3200Mhz @ 1.248 loaded (1.290 ish in bios) ortho's stable for a few hours, which for me, is stable, if i can game stable on it, its 24/7 for me. seeing as its usually only on for 1/3 the day anyways.

Very true. I guess I give folks too much credit. I ASSUMED he had done all of the required shtuff. Why post if it hasn't been proven stable?

sombrio? Care to show some Orthos screen shots. We believe you and all, but wee need visual proof, hehe.

I've had "stable overclocks" crap out many times in between 1-2 hours. I'm not trying to rain on his parade but thats not how I test for stability, guess it could be different for others.

yep, I've had prime crap out after about 75 minutes, another time after 3 hours. I like to do overnight ... if it can go overnight it's stable enough for me.

Or just play games and see if it crashes. Oblivion, FEAR, Prey, HL2 with that massive 1.2 GB texture mod.

Well I have a Vapo LS, and a dual cascade, but they are too noisy for 24/7. I'm going to bench one of these with a cascade, but for daily use I am going water.

By "kit" you mean Mach II 775 kit? :confused:

[politenessman]

if you can run yours games, apps, etc without problems, then you are stable enough. dont worry about meeting some guys arbitrary definition of stability. you dont have to "prove" stability to anyone. this is not a competition, and nobody is giving prizes or paying for the rig that can run prime or whatever for 85 hours. its just a hardware forum.

I already had just 2-3 hours priming stable and then crashed when playing games such Oblivion,Titan quest or Prey ( ramdom reboots )

Never happened again when I finally found my 24h orthos stable ....:toast:

One one hand: Maxtor disks, on the other the mach II, I use watercooling when mach's not possible... For benching - I use waterchilling on gfx, and LN2 on CPU.. Next run will be with DICE on GFX though :p:

This is my experience as well. I don't run Orthos and Prime just to run them. They tell me exactly what I need to know. I can say in my C2D experiences, if I can't pass Orthos, I WILL have gaming issues...it may take 1-2 hours to crash to desktop, but it WILL happen. Orthos is just an easy way to let me know what I need to play my games stable.

Hey, can you give more info on that texture mod?


For me, most games (the most CPU intensive task I do) only load my CPU at a max of like 60%, so if I'm single instance prime stable for an hour or so, and dual prime for at least 20 min I'm happy. Although that doesn't mean it crashes after 20 min, just that I stop it. I'm not going to raise the vcore several notches higher just for 24/7 prime, personally. I can't see a relevant reason for the every day computing that I do

[Dax5]

thats a week 24

your pretty lucky because only weeks 25-26 overclocks that well @ 1.35v

[Mr.Kakarot]

Even 30 min, that is much better than my chip can do. My core would have to be 1.5v (at least) for 370 fsb.

heh, but for real stability.... I had crashes @ 8, 15 etc...

I consider it 24 hour stable, when I run it 24 hours :P

SOMBRIO corre o Orthos muitas horas mesmo para testar a estabilidade 24/7, e duvido que não de erros no orthos a essa velocidade.

And run Sp2004 for atleast 24hours to claim stable. I seen many fail after both 5 and 9 hours and so on. :slapass:

[chainbolt]

I disagree...
30min dual Prime means that the setup potentially is "24/7-stable",

30 minutes is better than nothing, but to claim this as 24/7, as he did, is really far fetched - anybody who is folding or doing similar 24/7 jobs will tell you that.

Simple... Now, a few days after i tried again lower the vCore and i found that it's stable @1.375v...The same 8 hours run has other stability test.

Tried 1.35v at the same speed and the system run well, but not more then 10 minutes run with Orthos.

1.375v is 100% stable!

[JohnMike]

good cpu johnmike ;)

Thanks, but i believe that the CPU isn't the real responsable for such performance/power ratio. It's the board P5W DH that real makes the diference, better to say, it's the chipset NB, i had some luck buying this board.

I saw that some guys having diferent performance with P5W DH, most of them think it's the CPU, but is the internal latency of NB chipset that real makes the diference.

[JWMc]

sombrio and JohnMike could you try all the same settings with the ram at 1:1 instead of 4:5?

I have the P5W DH and E6600 with 2GB HZ at 1:1 and 4-4-4-12 at 378 x 9 and 1.500 vCore with all other voltages stock and I was able to let Orthos run overnight stable (7.5 hours) with the case closed on air cooling with a Scythe Ninja. Also, doesn't SuperPI runs faster with ram @ 1:1 vs ram @ 4:5?

I am interested to try your 370 x 9 and lower the voltage setting so it's safer for 24/7 use. I'll try it out tonight and see what voltage I need for stability at 370 x 9.

no way. I've had prime run for 6 hours error free and it would still crash in PCMark04 as well as in games.

24 hours straight of prime95, then it can be considered 24/7 stable.

Why is Orthos the tool for someone to see is a system is stable? I never use Orthos or Prime, i have my E6600 at 3.6Ghz with 1.45v, for over a month now and it never crashed, what i do most with my computer is play Americas Army, never had a single problem, so for what i care my system is fully stable. If i run Orthos and it crashes 10 secs. after, big deal, so what? Just leave Orthos for the ones that use it.
If your system is stable for a 2001 benchmark and it cant run a 2006, but if what you wanted was to run a 2001, then your system is stable.

Personally, I run around 100mhz lower than my Orthos stable speeds daily. I don't get why people think running on the brink of instability makes you a bigger man. I just don't want to put up with any BS during gaming or anything else I do normally, so why introduce the risk for an extra 50 or 100MHz more?

Of course when benching my mentality spins 180 degrees.

FSB/DRAM 1:1 how do u set that in bios?

Again, just to reinforce what the other guys are saying. SuperPI is bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:, it's not a stability tester but a performance benchmark. ORTHOS is stability testing.

My air cooled E6600 can do 3.9 SuperPI:

But needs quite a bit of voltage for 3.6 ORTHOS:

I wouldn't call anything under 4hours ORTHOS stable.

well...sombrio proved 24/7 stability right there...nice results for a week 24 chip. You got really lucky.

[J@mmer]

Yes he did prove it, I was just making a point of the difference between SPI stable and ORTHOS stable.

mine's a Week 26 chip BTW. :)

[HousERaT]

people who know anything about stress testing knows that 1mb superpi is not a strong indicator of system stability.

[[LCN]Knowledge]

i dont see where he claims stability in that last post with the superPi screenshot at 3.7GHZ... but he proved the 24 hours of Orthos at 3.3GHZ.

You can try rendering a big/complex scene in Mental Ray/VRay for stability also :p:

[jozzy]

You guys wanna see 24/7 Orthos stability?!?...

8 hours!!... E6600@3.3Ghz, 1.375v :toast:

:eek: what week is that chip??

[BottomsUp]

why are you so stoked on a 3.3ghz e6600? Most E6400s do that with ease

[sombrio]

Another one...

HA HA! Nice catch! 24 Hour Prime stable my ass!

Yeah, on a 965 board. My 6600 at 3.4 on my P5WDH performs better then many of the 63-6400's I've seen at 3.6-3.7 on p5b's.......

[roller11]

Thats the worst BS of today.

Stable = Uncrashable
Not just bench-stable, and certainly not just for 01SE...

No, "stable" by definition means proper function. So if a computer boots and never crashes/works perfectly, it is stable. Notice there is nothing in the word "stable" that
refers to what software is being run.
