net results...i am super close to the QuadGT at the same FSB (CPU Mhz) and memory clock speed!...QuadGT scored 9959...SO...i am within 78 points of my QuadGT...i call that a statistical tie!..YES!:up:
Built my new system this week
E6600 L646G batch
IP-35 Pro
2 x 1 gig OCZ 9200 Reaper (2 gig total)
EVGA 8800GTX
Scythe Mine cooler
Stacker 832 case with plenty of 120mm fans
Antec NEO HE 550 PSU
been overclocking today to see what the CPU and the mobo can do (i'm a bit of an OC noob tho haha)
Anyway, i reached 3.4 ghz @ 1.55 vcore, bit too much for me that, so right now i'm running it at 8 x 410 = 3,28 ghz @ 1.48
Orthos stable for over an hour now, I'll try to reduce the vcore a bit more

So far the board has been great. My previous computer i ran an ASUS board, one before that i had the Abit KD-7 KT400 board with which i never had problems. Happy with this one sofar, i suspect the CPU + maybe my cooler are the ones at fault in not going further than 3.4 Guess the older Conroe's were better.
Of course if anyone has any tips :D
right now it runs at 53 degrees C under load (Core 1 and Core 2). It was up at 57, 58 when i was pushing at 3.4
also for the record, the OCZ Reapers booted up fine. no problems.

when you flashed the bios, what switches did you use ace-a-rue?
this is what i used since i did save the original bios to my USB thumb drive...if you do not have the capacity then change the "sy" switch to "sn"!
/py /sy /WB /cd /cp /cc /CKS
do not overclock while flashing...and...don't forget to clear CMOS after the flash is complete...load default bios settings after clearing CMOS, save and reboot back into the bios to change settings from there.

1.Whats these?Quote:

3.BIOS Update is difference from Boot Block Flash(Update) that post above?
here is the "BEST" that i think i can produce from the Pro board..things could get better with subsequent bios updates.

i used an USB thumb-drive.
if you want to find out what each switch does just type in DOS this syntax: awdflash.exe /?
Hey Ace-a-Rue, did flashing help at all with the wacky voltage issues?
I posted a few pages back that it does this to me too (even though I turned off the C1E and SpeedStep stuff); as a matter of fact, my vCore is currently at 1.26v...and when running two iterations of Prime95 it jumps as high as 1.375v (though CPU-Z and SpeedFan's voltage monitoring). Is that because of the CPUGTL Ref?
The bios 6 june (beta) is nice withe QuadCore :D

I have my CPUGTL on default volts and EIST and C1E disabled and I don't have that problem. I have 1.29-1.30 idle in uGuru and it goes down to 1.27-1.28 load. What bios are you using? I'm using shipping bios.Quote:

what is
C1E and EIST?
Power saving options for some Intel CPUs. This is similar to AMD's Cool N Quiet. Vcore and CPU multi drop at low load to reduce heat and power.Quote:

I'd remove the CMOS battery for 1/2 hour (also disconnect power from PC) and reflash the BIOS. Reset to Optimized default/Save/Exit. Boot into windows and recheck Vcore.Quote:

Here in Slovenija price went up by 10%, wtf ????
Thanks a lot :up:Quote:
