Average Overclock for E6400 chips???

[OPPAINTER]

Hey guys,

What is the AVERAGE overclock people are getting on the 6400 Core2 chips?

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

OPP

I guess around 3.4 to 3.5GHz.
Had two E6400 (L625A and L628A) which both did 3.6GHz (1.41Vc/1.46Vc).

I think the L625 could have reached 3.7+ but my board didnt even boot @ 454FSB.:rolleyes:

Is that stock cooling (air) ?

[FUGGER]

3.1 ~ 3.5Ghz air to single stage.

[TASOS]

As an average...i would say 3.4GHZ with up to 1.4Vcore and the stock Intel cooler.

[TaPaKaH]

~3.2GHz @ 1.5V - on stock intel cooling
~3.6GHz @ 1.5V - on TT BigTyphoon / Tower120 etc.
~4.1GHz @ 1.6V - under vapo
~4.4GHz @ 1.65V - under DI

Nah, Scythe infinity =).

On stock... 3.2-3.3GHz

3.73GHz on air for me. I would say the AVERAGE (heavily dependent on user skill) is only about 3.2-3.4Ghz. You should be able to take them to 3.7-3.8Ghz stable on air. 4.0 on water with A LOT of volts. 4.2 or greater on SS.

[911us]

3750 with Zalman 9500 for me.24/7 speed I used is 3.4Ghz,1.425 v-core.

@freecableguy: what is SS,dude ?..

Besides your post in your own birthday thread, this is the first time I've seen you around here in awhile. Now before you leave, someone needs to force an X6800, two 8800's and a new mobo onto you and make you bench some... It's weird seeing you quiet for so long when all this new BAD@ss hardware needs benched to death :slapass:

[makatee]

@911us-
Single Stage Phase Change I take it

[OPPAINTER]

Thanks for the info guys.

I was just checking this chip at work on water and it does 3.6 rock solid 1.46V. I have not tryed overclocking it any higher because it's on the bench right now and I am going to put it into a case. Once it's in the case I'll go max stable OC. I just was wondering if the chip was any good before I put it in the case. I think it has potential:D

Yea I have no hardware. I would like to get some G80s and bust out some scores, but my friends at NVIDIA slacking on me:D

8 x 450 is what mine does at 1.35 volts (real volts, not whats set in bios)
topped out at 4.03 ghz.

plain air cooling.

[Levish]

I hit 450x8 fsb without much fuss, was able to get to 502x8 on my e6400 but it took 1.7vcore and it wasn't quite stable even so, probably due to the temps on watercooling

[largon]

My beloved week 24 E6400 did 3.6GHz @ 1.5V (http://www.helsinki.fi/~llounent/9h8min_ORTHOS_Prime_3.6GHz_r.jpg) (real) on water.

Until it... err...
...went away...

[DaWaN]

My crappy E6400 does 3830mhz max superpi 1m on air 1,725V
On stock volt it can't even do 3200mhz :slapass:
If you're lucky you could do 3500mhz on 1,4V stable

[bullet2urbrain]

isnt this entirely dependant on motherboard????

for instance, a P5W like mine which FSB walls @ 378 for some reason, that kind of limits where you can go..

Anyway, I'd say ~3.3 is average.

Good Luck OPP! Wanna come do some WCG ;)

so how much you set in bios.

[Eldonko]

Stock cooler I'd say 3200-3400 average (stock cooler really sucks). Better air or water more like 3500 average for 24/7 stability.

[largon]

Bail_w,
IIRC, bios was set at 1.525V. DMM measured voltage was 1.506V

[Blacklash]

The E6400 I tried did 3.2 on stock volts, 3.5 Orthos blend stable, and could be benched @ 3.7 on a P5B deluxe wifi. By benched I mean 3dmark06, and other such things. 3.7 was not it's 24/7 speed, 3.5 was.

[Revv23]

id say they are all over the place between 3.3- 3.8ish

mine runs 24/7 1.5v 8x450 on air and will bench upwards of 4040mhz... on air.

[TheGoat Eater]

mine does 3.6GHz 24/7 on air but today I went down to 3.4GHz on my E6400 so I could run my memory at 530MHz (5-5-5-12 4now) and I can deal with a lower CPU clock and a high memory clock seems good for BF2142 and my BFG 8800GTS

[jjwa]

So the E6400 does between 3.2 and 3.6Ghz depending on your luck and other hardware (cooler, ram, motherboard).

I often saw people say the E6600 is not worth the money over the E6400 because the E6400 can overclock to E6600 speeds easily. But... E6600 can overclock as well. What speeds can be expect from E6600, and do you think they would be worth it? (Especially with the new 8800 cards, where CPU speed matters more then before)

E6600 and 6400 will usually top out at same area, at least on air... it depends on the max fsb of your mobo, if you want to have 975x then 6600 is minimum...

but if you have a 965 that can do 500fsb 6400 is a good chip. However 975 and 6600 will still perform better.

Also, if you are going with some exotic cooling like phase change, you may want a 6600 on 965, or 6700 on 975.

[JoeBar]

My 6400 tops @ 3.5ghz with 1.5v on water.

[dicecca112]

3.4 on water, but do to 85F ambients in my dorm I can't go much higher

85f?

Texas? Alabama? Hawaii?

[dicecca112]

Mass. We have no control of the heat in the dorms, so it just blasts. Even in winter, we have fans going and the windows wide open.

ahh ok, michigan state's dorms are like that, pretty dumb way to run things imo.

As were michigan's dorms, used to have the window open in the winter.

Nice thread though, been thinking of getting a e6300/6400.

[187(V)URD@]

My E6400(628A) does 3.2ghz on 1.4V but didn't test higher. (P5B deluxe)
But i know my E6300(629A) did 3.5ghz on 1.45-1.5V and that with stock intel cooler on regular P5B.
The P5B vanille clocked higher in fsb then my dlx. But most get 3.2-3.6ghz with 'regular cooling'.

[eXa]

a friend of my runs his 6400 @ 3.2 with DS3 and some 6400ram @ 1:1
only thing he needed to doo was make shure the ram ran 1:1 and upp the voltage 1 notch... stock cooling!(switching to water soon...)

He aint much of an OC`er so ill think hell stay there!

[xlink]

under a scythe infinity i get 3.1GHz 1.25V(1.3 set with crystalCPUID, 1.25 in software)

board doesn't want to go much higher and I'm happy so that's where i leave mine.

mine's week 26

where in mass are ya

[badboy]

The best my E6400 does is 3.5ghz on Intel BX2. Voltage is maxed at 1.6v which I am doing right now with it idling at 44C. Check sig.
