CPU: Conroe E6600 Stepping 5
M/B: Asus P5W DH Deluxe
BIOS: 0078
VCore: 1.65v
Memory: Corsair 8000UL
Cooling: Tuniq Tower 120
This is the best I've managed with air cooling. I think it's okay. :)

Nice... so about 3900mHz 24/7 stable?
Yeah, 3.9GHz is probably 24/7 stable. The newer BIOS's have helped. BTW, there are no mods to the board.
nice score man!
do you think to use that vcore for the daily use?
Marco
Thanks. :) No, I would not recommend 1.65v for daily use with air cooling. 1.575-1.6v is probably a better option. My CPU will do 4GHz with 1.6v and 3.9GHz with 1.55v. But it takes 1.65-1.66v to get those last MHz. ;)

Anyway what's the stepping of you e6600?
Marco
ps. nice one u've got over there :toast:
Yes, 1.55v would be good for everyday use. Even 1.6v is high.
If I set VCore to 1.6v in BIOS, AiBooster will read around 1.58v. Vdroop appears to be 0.02-0.03 under load.

hmmm....4GHz on air...who would have thought ;)
great work thought!!! :)
Can you how us the temps after full load? 1.55-6v? Just 10 minutes after 2x prime would suffice.
I have not run dual Prime and probably won't because this is primarily a benching system. Running single SuperPi 32M at 1.6v, load temps, according to AiBooster, are in the low 40's. I'm using a Delta 120mm fan to help cool the RAM and the board. That probably helps lower the temp a few degrees. I imagine dual Prime would be in the 50's. But that's just a guess.
@ FCG - Thanks. :) How's your board doing?
sweeet! im getting tower 120
wooow! i save that $5
hahaha
very nice CPU
LOL. Yes, you can keep the $5. :D Thanks.
umm by new BIOS u mean 602?? cuz mine will arrive monday .. heh
i know that there are someQuote:

Any better cooling any time soon? :)
Thanks bachus. :) Probably will try single-stage cooling next weekend. The E6600 may be a better for air or water cooling. I don't know how much more I can raise the FSB given the fact that my board does not have Vmch mod.
Out of curiosity I decided to try dual-SP2004 with VCore at 1.6v. Under load, AiBooster was reading 58-59C. I'm sure it was probably higher than that. After ten minutes I decided I had enough of that. :) One of the disadvantages of using air cooling.

same ram , same clock (+ 1 %) , same heatsink, E 6700
and a double ! pi 1M run.... 12.2
a 32M........12m 40
on a MSI 975 ....
E 6700 ..or rumours about better performance on msi and foxconn boards ? ..
Yes, those are good times. But I was using XP SP2. He was using Server 2003 which is worth around 30 seconds in 32M. I was also running 4-4-4 timings because I was testing the FSB limits and wanted to eliminate memory as a factor. I will post some better results done with Server 2003 in the near future. :)
Here's an old result of mine done with XP SP2 and an E6700. Now subtract about 30 seconds from the time below and what do you get? :D ;)

thanks sierra for clearing this
my post was not meant to debase your results
they are really great in every aspect .... :clap:
No offense taken. :) But the OS makes a big difference, especially in 32M. I've pretty much finished FSB testing, so now I can focus on other things, including getting better times. ;)
Very sweet :)
Awesome on air results, Sierra-san:toast:
