3.2EE and IC7

[bito]

Picked up a 3.2EE yesterday and put it in my IC7....currently at
3.8Ghz with bios setting of 1.775v which goes down to 1.71-1.73v under load , prime stable, using Swiftech watercooling.
Currently using ADATA Vitesta DDR500's, but OCZ PC3700EB's on the way......is this average for this cpu...should i try for more and at what voltage ??

Looks average to me.
You should be able to hit 4Ghz with that setup (not certified, but possible).

im not all that experianced with intel so i cant say for sure but the two 3.0's ive owned both ran avg of 3800mhz on air and 4.1/4.2 under a promie. i would like to think that your 3.2ee would do 3800mhz with less v-core? have you tried leaving the v-core stock and pushing it as high as it will go and still remain stable? i think maybe you can get what your getting with less v-core? but still your oc looks good deff nothing to sneeze at that is for sure man.... good luck and post some benchies when you get a chance i would love to see what that chip can do? i want one of those EE chips but i just dont have 700 bucks to put out on one at the moment AND im not even sure i could get one for 700???

peace perc,

I read on these forums that the EE's love voltage....i know my 2.8 M0 certainly did !! That ran at 3.7ghz +.

But, i am now currently at 1.66vcore under load and it is prime stable, so i'll let it run here for a while.....

On another note, the new Swiftech MCW6000 realy is pretty good.....beats the older MCW5000P easily.....by about 3-4c.

Be aware of the temps, but I would suggest that you raised the voltage to around 1.80v.

i think the temps are fine, nyways..nice oc!

3.8ghz is very nice for an out of the box watercooling solution. I think you should quit there. Average oc for air on water is ~3.6~3.7 on these cpus so your already ahead of the game. TO get more you need phasechange cooling.

However these chips LOVE voltage and you can feed them 1.85v its perfectly safe but you need better cooling. 1.75v 24/7 is max id use for water. Feel free to try 1.8v for benching but not for 24/7 unless you want to pick up a prommy,vapo,ect.

1.8 volts should do 250fsb thats where i run mine 24/7.
