A core wouldn't even do 3.6 stable at all. all were tried on DS3 rev 1, P5N-E, and P5B-Dlx, so wasn't a motherboard difference issue, and all ram was patriot ddr800. B cores rule!
complete nonsense ;) ... its nothing but luck if you get a good c2d !
btw ive made totally contrary experince. all my A's clock decent. only my """l628B""" was prettey bad. 3,6 ghz only at 1,62 v primstable.
well just tot i'd contribute too~

yeah, well look at grim's results table. just about all "B" chips, no matter the model. add my B as well even though i didn't make the list cause i messed up. i also noticed that in bios, the voltage id of the A chips is 1.3xx, and the B chip is 1.2xx. there is a definite physical difference between them, and B's are better. i'm not saying that A's are terrible or not worth oc'ing, i'm just saying the B's are better in speed and vcore, and as a result temps.Quote:

This "B" chip theory might hold some truth for older Conroe's, looking Grim's list i see some excellent results with "A" chips, my own chip included.
yeah, i suppose it might not hold water, from my own experience i found the B to be much better than any of the 4 A's though.Quote:

I'm the only one clocked at 3.6ghz that my cpu needed more that 1.5volts to be stable :(
Total agreement and not just because I have an A chip. :p:Quote:

My A886 chip runs 3.2 stable and cool on air at default voltage so regardless of it's letter I would classify it as a good overclocker.

This is not the best I've had this system but it is the best I can get it now due to some very strange BIOS issues. It is a solid 12Hr test though and its not the worst entry so here ya go.

Kind of crappy as I can raise fsb and lower multiplier (425x10) and use ramspeed of 1160 which is stable and get worse performance. The next divider for me on this multiplier runs ramspeed at around 1180 which it will only pass orthos for 3 hours. I can run the 12x multiplier cpu speed of 4.26 and ramspeed of 1150 but that actually nets lower performance (I think it is fsb starved).
Sorry for asking,but why not a cpuz on that pic also?Quote:

Hope this is just for benchmarking and not a 24/7 setup. Your temperatures are basically 70ºC and thats using the asus temp. which we all know reads lower than TAT or Coretemp.Quote:

Superpi 32M finished @ 4006mhz...... still on air:D

Right now I think I have hit a wall. I am at 3.6ghz @ 1.5375volts in bios. Temps are at 57ºC at load. I try and run 3.8ghz @ 1.65volts and it gets to the point where normally that windows screen would come up where the blue bar goes across the bottom of your screen a couple times, but it just sits there at a black screen. I do have an A chip also. Any ideas? Also if I want to run my ram faster and in bios it lets me choose from 800mhz next is 1000mhz, what if I want like 850 or 900? Can I do that and how?
I cant help you on the first question as there are so many things that can be the cause of your oc wall...... as for ram overclocking, your rams are being overclocked when you overclock your cpu's fsb, so to get 850, set your fsb to 425 ( assuming youre running 1:1 ) 900 on the ram is 450fsb.....
I am 1:1 right now, but what if I wanted to be like 4:5 or something. Say I want to leave my fsb @ 400 but OC my ram to 900. In bios it only lets me go to 800 then 1000 then up from there.Quote:
