Q6600 G0's .... for July.

where's the orthos blend runs from this chip?
Sweet July 27th is almost upon us! lol not really....
too bad there's no 4Ghz posts about it.
Is that why coolaler stopped posting here? that's very sad he feels that way.
At £115 that E6550 looks sweet! Nice to see some decent quality silicon in Intel's cheaper CPUs again.
amazing clocks from E6550. and wow..
M-0 is not that great, they like voltage, but thats it.
My E4500ES did 2800MHz dual 32M with stock volts. 3250MHz with 1.45V. 3325MHz with 1.5V and 3700 1M with 1.7V set in bios. Not that bad, but not any better than L-2 Allendales.
Great clocks on the E6550 irev210! I did not know they were that great clockers. Otherwise I would have tried to get one :/
The low multiplier on the e6550 put me off but irev210 and others seem to be achieving pretty impressive bus speeds. So far, no one seems to be able to push the e4500 bus speed over 400 so its high multiplier doesn't do any good?
I'm looking to upgrade another older box that I have. I've been considering the P5K-E and looking for a cpu that will overclock by > 50% on air. (I figure I should be able to do better than what my P5W does.) What do you think?
I don't know if all E4500 will be M-0, but as I said. That E4500ES is not really that great. I had a E4300 on air, which is 24/7 stable at 3320MHz with 1.37V.
The E4500 was high end watercooled and did not come close to that. Other people I know with E4500ES had very similar results. Thats why I do not think the E4500 will be any better than the E4400. Only if you are using a cheap board that can only do 266FSB max and does not allow voltage increasing. Then the higher multi helps you to get a better OC at stock VCore. Even if 400FSB is the max for Allendales. 400*10 is more than you would archieve using above ambient cooling.
this 6550 is a rare anomaly.
most will not achieve such high clocks at low volts.
I'm playing with a similar one on a P5K DLX thats doing just fine:p:

so the ES 6550's clock well but the retail ones don't... is that the consensus so far?
That is pretty amazing, Intel just keeps putting out better and better chips
My ip35 arrived so has my e6550. Just waiting on my HD and Ill have it up and running. Btw im using stock intel cooler in the meantime till I can decide what I want (and if I have cash left over after my 8800gts purchase, lol).
lol so again the early retail B's are good. geez so frustrating :)
Anyone with a retail cpu that can post its results?
I got my new e6550 up to 3150 Mhz (450x7 with 1:1)
Stable in Orthos 1 Hour
I tried booting at 500x7 but didn't even post. I believe it's the P5N-E Sli mobo that limits the oc because not everybody can get the FSB up to 500 on it.
So max oc for me is sth between 450-499 x 7 but I can surely go higher with another motherboard. NB got 1,563v and cpu is 1,36v (maybe I should up it?)
Temps are ok, using Zalman 9500 to cool it.
I know it may not really be very good for you "xtreme" people but I am new to overclocking (only did a pathetic 212 FSB OC on my 4000+ before). The Rig cost me 600 € and I only intended to oc it to 3 Ghz at first but I am happy with the results.
If you want to give me any tips on what I could do/try for better oc, go ahead ^^
Core Temp and Everest CPUID show the 6550 as 6650 :)

This is actually the best I got my cpu to run on air.. Not to bad:D

Bah! You have an ES :p:
I'm gonna stick with dualcore until they have lower powerhungry Quadcores out. This chip is mine!

To the OP, what is the batch number of your e6850 ?
ok, I could bring mine up to 3451 Mhz, but that's as far as it can get and I don't even know if it is stable yet, I'm wondering if I should replace the mobo and get 680i to see how far it overclocks
A p35 should be better for this kind of cpu
p35's support 45nm penryn. even asus p5b's will support it somehow. way to go asus.
My E6550 at stock volts did 7 x 450 = 3.150 GHz no problem. Now its time to start pushing it higher. Doing this on the Gigabyte P35C-DS3R. L719A batch. Orthos stable 6 hours no problem so far.
just got E6550 L723A, what can i expect from it? :)
what's your VID, is it normal that lowest vcore in my bios is 1.3375V? :(
can you guys set vcore less then 1.3v with E6550 ?
yes
Try to upgrade the bios, maybe you'll have more function.
i have 14...only 15 is newest.
Damn... That's too bad! My VID goes from 1.00v to 1.70v, and your lowest is 1.33? Sell your board and buy another, i think it's the best solution.
well it's brand new :( and yes my lowest in bios is 1.3375v ...i wan't too choose less vcore ....hh
if i sell my ip35-e and go to asus p5k-e fresh install won't be needed, right? cause of same chip etc?
Clean the drivers first with DC Pro and then you install the new MB :up:
I don't know how is my CPU,but my RAM couldn't get any higher
