My e6420 arrived today
L704 A885
pack date: 4/11/07
hope it's a good over clocker =D
too bad my system won't be up for another 2 week hehe
Damn it. Dnottis you have your 709 up to 3.6 with relatively low voltage, yet my 709 A5xx needs a whole lot. That sucks.
Will do the vdroop mod to see if it helps, but I doubt it.
Cheers,
Mike
Got my e6420
L702 stepping and package date of 04/13/07
So far so good, 3.2ghz stock volts :)
is that Orthos stable at stock volts? I can boot into Windows at 3.2ghz on stock volts and run Super Pi. Orthos stops after about 20 seconds.
Had a chance to do some more testing today:
http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/upl...434d78456d.jpg
Yea I got really lucky with this one. On the DS3 it only needs 1.40v actual and on the vdroop modded p5b-d I need 1.47v. I'm trying to break 3.7 orthos stable now for the OC database on Hardforum. I get about 2hr 30min in and it reboots on me. Jumping up the volts to about 1.55v actual its looking good so far, but I need at least 4 hours to prove it's stable.Quote:

Bumped the cpu voltage up to +.87 and did a 10 hour Orthos no problem.
I can run Super Pi at 1.42v @ 425x8 -- but Orthos craps out in about 10 seconds. My guess is I would need about 1.5v to be stable at that speed.
Orthos stable aswell, Also the p5b deluxe droops so its actually lower than that :DQuote:

Sure enough Orthos stopped after about 2 hours. Gonna give it a touch more and try again tonight.
Here is what i am confused on. I thought the L6 meant it was manufactured in 2006. I have a packing date of 5/11/2007.
Ov3rclock3r you have a L7 with a packing date of 4/13/2007.
Just curios as to how this could be. I'm thinking the L7 or L6 doesn't necessarily refer to the year it was manufactured.
@Grips, what's your complete FPO/Batch number? And if it's a SL4AT or not. Thanks...
Exactly what i was thinking. Give me 5 minutes and i'll post a picture of the box :)Quote:

Gonna let orthos run overnight tonight. I'll post the result before heading out to work in the morning. It looks like voltage is at 1.42v now. Been running orthos for about 15 minutes and max cpu temp is 50C(using a scythe infinity/cpu not lapped).
You and I are in the same boat GripS. Looks like you gave it a little bit more juice--and I'm guessing you'll be stable now.Quote:

To jcniest5:
I wouldn't say they are bad overclockers at all. I would actually say they are average to above average. I'm pretty sure I could get 425x8 (super pi was fine at this speed) Orthos stable out of this chip if I want to give it the juice--but I'm happy where I'm at right now. I've seen posts with 6420's that couldn't get 375x8 24/7 stable no matter what voltage they threw at it.
Sure you'll always see posts from users who get crazy clocks--but that sometimes takes a ton of patiences and many RMA's to find that one golden sample.
If you're in the market for a sub $200 chip--the 63-6420's are still an unbelievable value.
So far so good at 3.2ghz/1.42v.:D I think i'll let it continue to run overnight before going for more.

Any E6420 L710 that OC's well?
Didn't tested yet , but i'm not expecting much:shrug: :down:
I have one, a L710 from SLA4T.Quote:

It loads into windows at 3.4, but not orthos stable yet...
Upping mem voltage got me further, and allowed me to drop Vcore (from 1.45 to 1.4) but this coincided with a new PSU, so maybe that's also part of the reason, although I wouldn't understand how it works exactly...
Take your time with it... and configure your mem by hand.
Changing from LTD 5 to 4 also helped me some (but mainly on the 2 => 4 gig prob).
Oh yeah, and up the NB, but make sure to have adequate cooling on it... I'm at 1.5, with a TR HR-05 on the NB, and a TR HR-05 SLI on the SB in a P180. Doens't do much on the SB, but to hell with it... ;-)
Other questions, just shoot!
GL with it, and let us know :D
My E6420 finally made 3.7Ghz Orthos stable. Changing out the block from Apogee to FuZion helps temps as did changing for Thermal Take fans that max at 95 CFM, on a fan controller about 75%.

Gr8 work dnottis.
hope to post some 3.4 on air soon myself...
Thanks! My 24/7 will be 3616 @ 1.44v actual. Load is about 44 deg c. I just wanted to push and break 3.7 for the [H] OC database.Quote:

I heard about some overclocking "hole" between 360 and 400, and that 1333 bootstrap takes effect >400, so took the big leap of fait and tried 401 and 410 to no avail.
Perhaps reached the limit of this little CPU? Tried all over with 6x multiplier, and got to about the same place, 380 fsb, no more.
Tried desperately randomly toggling settings like static read control, and TM... nothing.
Anything obvious you guys can think of that could be causing this?
well, been working a lot on this one, and it won't be my 24/7...
vcore and nb needed a HUGE bump for 3.4.
had to up vcore from 1.37 for 3.2 to 1.525 and NB 1.45 => 1.55...
here's the pic and the system :D
greetz... r0n1n
It might be cause you've got 4gb there. 2gb should be stable with lower volts but dont quote me on that :)
well, it's worth a shot, just for the heck of it :D
will try it out someday, thx for the tip ;)
Does anyone know anything about the L642G043 6420?

dude that's freakin awesome! You got a sweet chip there.
What kind of cooling are you using? (i'm assuming water by your avatar)
What is the max you have gotten your chip to do on stock volts?
I wish it was a rule to have a sig in this forum. What are your system specs?
Yeh, it's a damn good chip.Quote:

I am using the infinity as well. I can't believe you are getting such low load temps. Must be real cool in the room or you have an air conditioner in your case:) . What about the mobo and RAM? What are you using?
No air condition, Just the room is very cool. When its hot, load temps reach 44-47deg(TAT).Quote:

Hey guys, how hot is your NB on your P965 when running stock 266fsb, and when overclocking (ie 400+)?
Even at stock mine is certainly 60C+ (scorching to the touch)...
i have also an e6420, it's L652Bxxx, and it does 3200 @ 1.39v on bios, 1.36~1.37

I've had 3 DS3's a P5B-E and P5B-deluxe and the best thing you can do - remove the NB sink, clean it apply AS5 or ceramique - reinstall and add a 50mm fan to the top. After that they just barely get warm and you wont need to pump the NB volts up either :)Quote:

Btw my L709 can run to about 3.4 @ 1.35 volts orthos stable :D, 3.712 is my max orthos right now, 3616 is my 24/7.
On the run in the screenshot, the actual voltage is 1.525v.Quote:

The upside: I can never feed too much voltage to the CPU. The BIOS tops at 1.6v and the most I can get from that is about 1.55v actual, which drops another 0.005v or 0.01v under load.
The downside: I may actually never know how high this E6420 will go.
The downside Part Deux: The NB max volts in the BIOS are limited to 1.4v, which also denies Max OC attempts.
The highest I've gotten into Windows on with this Mobo is 3580Mhz.
here is my result
E6420 _ week L709A515 @3783Mhz 1.65v

@3200Mhz 1.38v _ 26hr+ orthos stable
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...p/64203200.jpg
Nice clock. I doubt that CPU will last long with that much voltage going through it though. You must be using some serious cooling on that for a load temp of 37C.

Thanks for sharing the clocks. because of this topic i get a 51B myself :D
Sorry for bad english.
Would it be fair to say that diminishing returns really kicks in at around 1.45V?
I've read that particular old batch numbers are good OC. But, Goofisch and many others have various otehr batch numbers which are doing really well... has me wondering if its just random luck of draw.
Wow.Quote:

If that's the case - I'd sell it before the price drops and get a replacement ASAP !
Just started playing with a 6320 L709A. Running orthos for 20 min 3300mhz 1.32v watercooled so far :) will upload screenie when i finnish testing:)
L651B
24/7 (might be able to back off the cpu volts a bit--still need to test). CPU temps are that high because we didn't turn on our air conditioning and it was 80F in the room at the time.

Suicide run--not Orthos stable at all.
http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/6...iderun1bf8.jpg
Yes this is the same system. The wallpapers and SG are different because the suicide run was taken about a week ago. The 24/7 ran last night.
Yes. It does appear that it's safe to say there are no more REAL good overclockers out there by a particular batch. It does seem to be a real crapshoot with the latest run of processors. I'm pretty happy with the 3.2ghz i have stable on 1.42v. Not quite the 3.6ghz that i was hoping for though.Quote:

I assume that you've already tried upping other voltages too? maybe a bit more NB juice, or mem volts could help out. I know it did help me, but I'm on a P5N32-E sli plus, which is a board that needs a LOT of tweaking (just like a lady...)
I'm now also stable at 3.2 for 24/7 @ 1.375, and was able to load windows up to 3.6 @ 1.525. Not orthos stable though. But I read some v's of over 1.6... maybe should try that one day :D

I would say that you're looking at the life expectancy of your CPU dropping from 12-15 years......down to maybe 7-9 years.Quote:

Will your CPU explode after 6 months of running like that, no.
Will it possibly / probably diminish the life expctancy, yes.
More than voltage, the primary thing you, me, or any user should be concerned with is heat.
If your system & CPU stays cool at 1.6v (35c or under idle / 55c or lower under load) then I wouldn't worry about it at all.
By the time that chip finally kicks the bucket, you will have purchased his great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson chip.
The Intel Ocho-Quad Duo at 10000Mhz.
8x4 cores x's 2 Chips mated together in Intel propietary packaging with each core operating at 10Ghz.
How much voltage do you think your CPU will take then? :D
@evoic
good point lol :rofl:

I'm nearly positive that eVGA designs the BIOS to not allow extreme FSB speeds because they want to keep their non-LT version at a premium.
As a case in point, my original (P02) BIOS allowed 1.5v on the MCP.
When I updated the BIOS and flashed to P04, the option was removed and 1.4v was the new max. :mad:

CPUs from same production week can have vastly different OC.

Another E6420 with identical setup started getting unstable >370fsb. And with lots of voltage for everything could only get it to run up to 390fsb. Another 0709 Malaysia has no problem with fsb, but fails to reach 3.1Ghz like its brother.. in fact only 2.9Ghz...
so far Costa Rica for teh wIn :{/

dsaraolu.......3945Mhz on air is SICK.
I'm fairly sure there's no way you're Orthos stable at that speed, but I would love to know if you're able to beat the 3720Mhz that dnottis just put up below your post.

could be either the CPU or the mobo limiting you to 445FSB.Quote:

I've already tried several E6420.. but in the end my "treasure hunt" for the golden "cherry pick" CPU cost a lot and didn't get me far. I'm sure it would be much easier if I worked on Dell assembly line and got to try out 1000 chipss ;)
My QuadGT can only do 444 mhz. Anything beyond that is just unstable. Pretty sure my E6320 can go a little further, but I think my board is holding me back.
I'm at 3.4ghz right now with stock 1.325v loaded. Orthose stable, I'll post some more pics when i'm at 3.5ghz stock volts or 3.6 :)
my guess, newer chips release doesnt clock a lot.well, thats just me.Quote:

Just a follow-up, I don't believe my chip is the problem, but I can't start testing that theory until later this evening.
Mine is a L651 B325 Batch. (Mfg'd Late December of 06')
These have been known to be good clockers, but the board needs to be able to scale on the FSB because the chip is limited to 8x multi.
I'm praying my P965-S Dark let's me find out once and for all.
Also, just to answer the post from Deimos, my E6420 will do Orthos stable 3200Mhz at stock voltage.
I can run it up to around 3.4Ghz (not Orthos stable, but Windows boots) before I have to start bumping the volts.
Dang all you guys are getting great overclocks on your e6420's.
I'm stuck at 3.4GHz with 1.44vcore with vdroop mod on my p5n-e sli board (fsb 425MHz).
I'm doing this with 4GB of ram (OCZ Titanium PC6400 @ 5-5-5-15, 2T, 2.1v) @ 1020MHz.
Having a hell of a time trying to get my Ultra-120 properly seated on my cpu.
I can get it on just fine and it makes good contact, but it's just getting the dang thing on without moving it around too much so the thermal paste stays nicely spread out.
When I remove it to check for contact I see a lot of the thermal paste is not evenly spread out and has bald spots where it's just bare heatsink and cpu contacting without thermal paste.
Tried spreading out the thermal paste today and making contact the old way instead of using the Thermalright way of putting a thin line down the middle of the cpu.
I will report back with temps.
I'm hitting 58 celsius at peak load with orthos priority 9 and small ftts to stress the cpu.
Ambient is pretty warm I might add, but I wish I had four hands so I could hold the heatsink steady with two and screw in two bolts at once to balance things out without disturbing the thermal paste upon installation.
*sigh*
Anyways, I will report back after some more temperature and stress testing.
Going to try for 3.6GHz.
Cheers,
Mike
just got an E6320 L709A344
probably run it on my P5K deluxe and under the Vapochill.
Just got a E6420 L707A751, have it running 1333 FSB now with stock cooler/volts. Orthos been running around 30 minutes, staying around 70~72C. Still waiting on the MM case before i put it under water.
I'm running at 8x333 :/ I'm pretty sure my cheapo memories won't allow me to go much farther.. but I'm happy (this is my _first_ ever oc experience:) )

The chip was assembled in Costa Rica and the voltage was 1.48. I had to do an rma on the MB and get a p5n-e instead since it was acting very wierd. So I wont be posting any more information for a few days. Unless I decide to try it in my EVGA board.Quote:

Probably at 13 hours or so now if she hasn't failed yet.
3.6GHz 1.54 volts E6420 (450FSB), P5N-E SLI (bios 0505), 4GB OCZ Titanium PC6400 EPP @ 1050MHz (5-5-5-15, 2T, 2.2volts)
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Hitting some high temps with my thermalright ultra-120 extreme...60-65 degrees celsius with the front of my P182 open.
*Placeholder*
E6420 L707A751, Stock cooling/volts running 1333 FSB (2.66 Ghz), 32 hour Orthos stable. Pics to come after I get it all under water. 70~76C on stock air.
Edit: I'm running 1500 FSB now (3.0 Ghz), 24 hour Orthos stable 1.32v in BIOS. The above post is wrong, I had volts set to auto, that's why my temps were hitting the 70's. With volts set at 1.32 i'm topping out at 58C. This is looking like it'll be a nice chip. Will post more after I top it out.
I have the same problem.Quote:

SO.....
I found out that it's not my Mobo.
I get the same limit when using my 680i and also when I recently tested a DFI P965-S Dark.
It appears that my E6420 has a wall right around 445Mhz.
I wish there was some way to overcome this, but as it stands......I don't believe it's possible for me to go higher.
:(

My E6320 do 7*435= 3,045Ghz stock volt And only 23c with a 9700 zalman
But the party end at fsb 440*7 = 3,08Ghz.
Tryèd a freinds E6600 6*550 = 3300 no problems.
Damm chip !
Time to sell the chip. :rofl:Quote:
