As Far as i know that memory is designed to run at CL4-5-4-15 @ 400 Fsb stock.

People have reported success overclocking those modules up to 490+ FSB, more if lucky @ at 5-5-5-15.

Yeah, that's what I have. I'll test tighter timings once I have some free time.

so, i have one :-)

get clocking my friend...

E6600 (retail week 27) @ 3.51 GHz (390 x 9) 12+ hour Orthos stable
P5BD-WiFi (Bios 0614)
2 GB G.Skill GBHZ
VCore 1.500v (in BIOS)
Cooling-Custom Watercooling (see sig)

This is my second machine built from scratch, and the first I could really overclock to any great extent. The AMD 64 X2 4400+ were awful overclockers (at least mine was). I see a bunch of you hitting 3.8-4 GHz, but I am pretty happy with my 3.5. Hopefully I'll be able to do better with a little more experience, and a little bit more of picking y'all's brains through this forum. I could have never built this rig, or overclocked it to this extent without the participants here, and I thank you.

Wow... The IHS of my week 28 was far from what it should be, flat!
I applied the most be-a-utiful layer of AS5 and started testing. Reboot after reboot and couldnt get it stable. Tems were "high" but my week 23 operated at 3600MHz no prob with the same temps. Anyhow, I decided to check the contact... ONLY the edges had made contact! So I applied a drop in the middle of the CPU and temps are stunning!

CPU load @ 3600MHz ~1.42V : Probe II 45°C
CPU load @ 3600MHz ~1.42V : TAT 54°C
CPU load @ 3600MHz ~1.44V : Probe II 50°C
CPU load @ 3600MHz ~1.44V : TAT 57°C
CPU load @ 3200MHz ~1.32V : Probe II 37°C
CPU load @ 3200MHz ~1.32V : TAT 45°C

u just added ?
i have Ninja and Zalman STG1, and i think its not well placed.
cuz my stock is 38 degree, and Load at 54....

to high huh ?
so i should take it of and ?
what is the best way to put the Thermal Grease ? any guide?

E6300 Auto Volts set in Bios
Kingston Memory KHX6400D2K2/1G 5-5-5-15 @ 2.00V
Asus P5B Deluxe Bios 0706
PCIE at 100

been running great :) could push 520 but was locking up. Stable at 500.

you need to run both primes at the same time and do a blend test for 8hours+ before you can say its stable imo and the second run has 1 error anyway

He just said it was 6h prime stable, which is true. As far as how stable it is, different strokes for different folks. I'm sure if you bumped vcore one notch in bios to say 1.3275v, it wouldn' error...blame vdroop.;)

yer that probably will sort it but he needs to run a blend test and both cores at the same time ;)

tatts,
You said I need to run the primes at the same time. What makes you think they weren't run simultaneously? :)

6h stable is enough for me anyways...

Core1 failed after 6h -> vCore bumped from 1.32500V (DMM: 1.305V) to 1.33125 (DMM: 1.311V). That's +0.00625 volts...

-> 9½h+ stable :p:

9½h+ dual prime (small FTTs)
9½h+ dual prime (blend)

It's The llittle 6¼mVs that could!

Best 1M with 1,568V, but i can't run my ram anymore with multi of 8 and tight timings.. must do the Vdimm mod soon. :)
