Me to have the same Cpu, running 3400 under water 1,44v. Just bought it, will get a new one next month.:D

I Just picked up a E6600 L701C566 @ Microcenter. Horrid.... I've got a decent water cooling setup and I gave up on this chip when it couldn't do 3.2Ghz stable @ 1.47v. Switched back to my wk 2006 27A that can do 3.5@ the same voltage.
Here is my L629F221 that I got from Tankguys. Finally got around to pushing it a little more.

Nice OC's everyone, I am still kicking it with my 3.5ghz
anyone have a L703 ? what kinda clocks you get
Well I thought I could add a little to the general knowledge base built on these chips here. I got a L712A416 from Newegg the other day. I had to throw a box together in a hurry so I didn't put it on SS to really give it a push, I have it on stock cooler in a closed case with poor ventillation (uGuru showing 38C System temps, heh, in a room that isn't hotter than 25C and that's overstating I think), mated with an Abit P35 and some GSkill 6400 GBHZ. Based on the environment it is in atm, I wouldn't say it is horrible at all, but I wouldn't say it is particularly good either. The stock cooler really falls on it's face pretty quickly I think, but I have 3.2GHz Orthos stable with 1.5V set Bios, 1.47V monitored idle, 1.44V monitored load with peak temps at 75C :rofl: , idle at 42C. That's as far as it'll be going until I do something better with the cooling but thought it could still be a decent point of reference here for others given it is in a pretty much worst-case install.
i have an L712A also, stepping 6-B2, i can get it stable at 3550 with an 8X multi, and 3508 with a 9X multi,(9x340) using 1.5v vcore..... im trying to squeeze a wee bit more out of it.
btw- im using danger den cpu waterblock and northbridge block.....
just popped in my L630F from TankGuys today...it's a 6-B2, stock vcore was 1.265 (as reported in the gigabyte bios). testing at stock vcore right now and it seems okay at 365x9. will keep you guys updated :D
well, didn't really bother to test how far i could get on stock vcore, i'm too lazy:p:
testing 500x7 at 1.375 vcore
everything is good so far, but damn this chip runs hot! it was around 58 C with my case closed and aroudn 52 C with side window off...i have a TR ultra-extreme w/ a coolermaster fan on it...2 120mm fans (1 intake 1 exhaust. both are coolermaster) and a 80mm fan near my hdds. i really need an s-flex and some better airflow =X
An update on my 744g that got 3600mhz after a lapping job, runs fab with good temps at 3600mhz at 1.49 volts under load on my P5K Dlx... tried to get 8 x 450 , damn no boot. My Striker can handle 450 easily with the other cpu, maybe I can get this hardnut cpu higher on the 680i with the watercooling... put it in, damn no boot at 450mhz, tried some other FSB to avoid the well known holes , thing doesn't boot over 437Mhz, no matter what setting or voltage...
First I thought I had a bad P5K mobo as I got stuck at around 435Mhz while everybody else was around 500FSB mark, now with the same 744G cpu in the Striker it performed the same way. To verify my thoughts I popped my 632a in the P5K DLx and bam it boots up to 475 as on the Striker... so conclusion I reached the FSB wall with the 744G at around 435-437Mhz....the lap job did improve temps and my total speed but this CPU has to go !!! and make place for a Xeon 3060 or the new 6850....
interesting about 744G having such a low fsb wall :(
mine seems to hit the wall @ 490 fsb. :( can't reach the sweet 500 spot.
hey guys
i have a question.. does any one here have a e6600 cpu that has a stepping L643G006 !!! i would love to know the theoretical oc that would be possible to achieve with that stepping..
Testing with my L630F
First off, this chip runs hot! I reseated the heatsink fan, and that has help my temps a bit but any vCore around 1.4v and above, it will hit 60 C+. As I said before, it seems that I can run 500 x 7 at 1.38125 vCore. I did some other tests, here are the results:
510 x 7 @ 1.4 vCore
440 x 8 @ 1.38125 vcore
520 x 7 @ 1.45 vCore
It seems that after 500 x 7, it takes quite a bit more amount of juice to power this baby. I am currently testing 450 x 8 @ 1.46 vCore. I will post more as I stumble across more.
Also, I am able to boot into windows above 520 x 7 @ 1.45 vCore, but I am not ORTHOS stable. Just a heads up.
plz check the IHS of your CPU mate, coudl be al apping job gives ya the edge on the temps and you can push it up to 3600mhz with less heat output... but I experienced the same issues with my 630F , one of the reasons I sold it....
Why don't you try 400 x 9 ?
I'm a bit too timid to try lapping my chip, never done a lapping job at all :p: However, I think I will end up lapping this TR-Ultra Extreme soon. As for the chip...I am able to boot in at 525x7 and I am able to run various tests with it. I am stable with SuperPi, 3DMark 06, and even a couple hours of intense gaming. However, I am still not ORTHOS stable though if I can keep going at 525x7 with my other stuff good, I don't think I care about ORTHOS:rolleyes:
Right now, I am testing 400x9, will keep you guys updated.
Thanks for the input!
well some users say Orthos has an error or bug and most prefer running dual prime's, I also run OCCT for an hour or 2 and then online gaming...
I always thought orthos was merely prime in a nice suit!
I have the same problems with Orthos :( Please use the newest Prime as it has multicore support :)
Nowdays , I got some E6600 for tests..
These results orthos stable (priority-9), voltage values after drop.
I used TT Sonic Tower@aircooling.
E6600 L712A689
1.3v 3140
1.5v 3510 /57C load/
E6600 L712A689

1,5v 3600 /load 59c/
E6600 L645G566
1,3v 3250 /load 47c/
1,5v 3600 /load 60c/
3.6 @ 1.4V
L709 I'm satisified with it.

VCore - 1.44v
Definitely not ORTHOS or Prime stable (both crash within minutes) but it is gaming stable. I do have to drop down to 520 FSB to make it stable when I encode a VOB file into an AVI, but if I bump up the VCore a bit it is stable at 525.
Oh and the memory is actually PC2-8500 (1066) dunno why it's reporting PC2-6400:(
