I can get 3.5ghz out of my E6420 if I jack up the juice beyond 1.4V :D
I'm at 3.6ghz now at 1.425v loaded, Orthos stable. Not bad :)
Nope. Not bad at all. Freakin awesome actually. If we could only see that screenshot you keep promising. :rolleyes:
Seems there are a LOT of claims here without any proof. :)
@ Nanok: Please tell me you are not complaining about 1.2ghz above stock on stock volts.
E6320 @ 3.2ghz 460x7, 1.47V. I'd link a screenshot, but my DFI P965-s literally caught on fire, or at least a few resistors did due to water splashes that I failed to see. Just ordered a P35 DS3R.
Nice! Sorry to hear about your Dark. That's one sweet board you just cooked.Quote:

Can't wait to get my mobo replacement and see what my 6420 and do. Had a faulty mobo that kept trying to boot from my floppy drive no matter what boot order or BIOS configuration I used. Couldn't install windows from my CD drive because of it lol.
Anyways my stepping is L709A510 and judging by the steppings here I should have around a 3.4-3.7 chip. WAHOO!
Anyone see the table with confirmed chip speeds over at HardForum? http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1138241 Looks like the L709's lead the pack of the E6420's.
I went from a cpu that wouldnt hold 3.2 stable at any voltage to this! All thanks to my new lovly HZ's! :up:.
I got my P5N-E today and started to test my 6420. I got a dud 3.2@1.53V, I didn't test it for stability. I just reduced the vcore to 1.42 and ran it at 2.8. Its been 5 hrs stable so far.

My E6420 is @ 3.2 with 1.37v. Haven't really needed to go any higher as all my games are screamin' fast.
What are your system specs? You still have old specs in your sig.Quote:

Just installed my E6420 OEM yesterday.
MB is P5N-E SLI with two Ballistix DDR(2)-800.
Have done minimal testing/OC and settled for 400x8 @ 1.3750 (1.34 loaded).
Seems that the chip has "a wall" here as 412.5x8 will not boot at 1.425.
As of writing this I have set a "standard" for my systems to OC up to a FSB where miminal VCore is necessary.
Many chips / many systems has shown (for me) it's not worth the effort when VCore has to be increased just to get a few hundred more Mhz for "suicidal screenies" and single core benching. :)

Just did a build last Thursday/Friday using an Abit IP35 Pro and an e6420 (I'll have to get the stepping once I get my case fans in to add WC). On air, stock voltage of 1.32 volts I am easily hitting 3.2. I figure 4g is a possibility given that my WCing setup takes another 10 - 12C off the temps which on stock air cooler are 31C idle and 53C under max load (Orthos, Prime, SuperPi, and 3dMark06 running concurrently for 2 hours). I bought a DD Torture Rack and have 2 fans on it now. Once I have all 8 fans running, 3.6 should be easy to get, just have to see what the "wall" is.
Specs:
Abit IP35 Pro
e6420 @ 1.32 v
Corsair Dominator 8500 2GB @ 400 x 8 and 1.9 v
eVga 8800 GTS Superclocked
Antec HE550 PSU
DD Torture Rack
Waiting on the tarmac:
Swiftech Apogee GTX
Swiftech MCW60
Laing 12v DD5 pump
BI Extreme 2x120 rad
8 case fans (which are quieter than my previous GPU fan on the 7900gt)
Well my last post may have been nullified. I seem to have another bad board......GRRRRRR. I keep getting BSOD's after a few hours and I changed my ram to the secondary slots on my P5N-E and i have not gotten any BSOD's since. I already recieved my RMA number from Newegg and I will probabally replace this board with a P35. I will report more later.
Mine E6420 does 3240Mhz at 1.32850V set on BIOS and it's stable(Orthos 2h, while running 3DMARK06 a lot of times,going trough the web,MSN all at the same time) but with this same voltage it doens't do 3400Mhz:( and also my Ninja is giving me worse temps then my 9500Led:()

or
that its 1.35V set in BIOS and that mulimeter or hardware monitor shows 1.32V?
Becareful, when you're not looking, I'm gonna come and gety'a E6420.. he he. At stock (all 1.35V) E6420 I've tried did, 2.64, 2.88 and 2.92GhzQuote:

mine does 2.8Ghz at 1,29375V on BIOS
Give it more. I didn't get 3.2ghz stable until i gave it 1.42v (1.4v actual).Quote:

you still have headroom. 53C under load is no where near the danger zone.
And another thing that«s being worrie me:S: how canmy Ninja have worse performance then my 9500??
Edit:My E6420 doesn't run 3320Mhz with 1,375V:(
Not sure. It's my understanding the Ninja even outperforms the HSF i'm using (Infinity). Have you tried re-installing the heatsink? Maybe you used too much paste? Maybe the CPU needs to be lapped? I have lapped my CPU and load temps dropped approx 5C. Under full load(2 instances of prime) i hit 55C (room temp approx 80F). I'm sure once it cools down a bit here it will be considerably lower.
Some of the results you have seen here are truly 'cherry' cores. I consider 1ghz over stock a damn good overclock. Saying you can't hit 3375 with 1.375 is not a big deal. Like i said. I didn't get stable @ 3.2ghz until putting CPU voltage up to 1.42v. Time to give it more juice!
Sorry about that, i'll get them posted up as soon as possible. There is screenshots of my cpu being stable at 3.2ghz @ 1.28v loaded though :)Quote:

What's the vcore??
@GripS:I installed my Zalman and now I need 1,335V to do 3.2Ghz but the temps are much lower then with the Ninja;) and the Ninja was good installed in fact it almost didn't fit and I cutted my finger on the damn Ninja trying to get it off:@
@DMH
Nice! What's your comparison for load temps between heatsinks?
@Mysterfix
That is damn impressive. Which batch did that gem come from?
edit: 8 hours prime is enough proof for me. Holy CRAP! (A shot showing vcore would be nice tho)
wow, that's amazing for a E6320/6420.
I have the vcore in my sig as 1.5v but it's actually 1.53v now. The chip it's self is stable at 1.5v butin order for the ram to be stable @ 1100+ I had to give the cpu a bump in juice. Very strange to me but it workes.
Minus 10ºC in iddle and in 9/10ºC in load:D I think Ninja stragulated(:shrug:) the air going through the NB and mosfet's also now I have 2 120mm going into the GPU,NB,SB and lower part of the dimms and one 92(or is it 80mm??I don't now:p) giving air into the mosfets on the top part of the motherboard and with the 92mm from the 9500 sending air to the rear mosfet's and 1 120mm extracting air,another 120mm from the PSU and one 92mm from TT at the top of the case:up:Quote:

But, I dont think cooling has such a large impact on overclock. Its certainly a factor, and better than stock Intel heatsink will give you 100-200Mhz more... but, overall, you're limited by quality of chip.
First try E6420 and this CPU is good :)
I'm set vcore in bios 1.55V so probalby 1.52V in load ...
Mobo 965P-DS4 rev 1.0 and PI 16M stable at 3800MHz, boot @ 400 and clockgen to 475 x 8. Not bad for 1/2 hour testing :D

I got mine yesterday, primed 16 hours+ blend, 8x425=3.4ghz with vcore 1.4625 set @ bios. with intel stock cooler it gets most of the time 54-55 c degreece with short peaks to 57c @ coretemp, for 3.2 it needed 1,375 @ bios set, but for the 200mhz it needed a big jump:X 1.45 would crash after 1.5 hour, could it be NBv or FSBv, I had it on NB1.4v FSBv1.3v @ my p5k dlx, but 1.4625 did the job tho
#PFO:L651Bxxx
my 6420 sucks soooo bad.. 3Ghz @ 1.5v in bios.. 8x400 = no go - no matter what I do.. My E4300 does it alot better 3.4Ghz with 1.5v. Tuniq 120...
My god I miss my E6700ES, ran 3.8Ghz stable at 1.5v in bios..
Yup.... Looks like i'm in the same boat. I primed for 2.5 hours last night @ 3.4ghz with 1.45v. Unfortunately it was only for 2.5 hours. I'm gonna give it more juice tonight to see if i can get 8 hours prime stable.Quote:

IM Currently running 3,15 GHZ @ ortho stable for 2 hours tested not more yet. Great CPU! im very happy with it.. it was priced insanely cheap. Like memory was a 2 mohts ago..
YES! 3.4ghz stable with 1.5v. I would have like to have reached this point on lower voltages. But then again.... We are talking about 1.3ghz over stock here.:D
http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/upl...0fc8ecdcc8.jpg
1.4625v would do the job;)Quote:

ehhe n1 clock, yea it undervolts underload, here it showed 1.434
Just give it some juice.... if it ain't got HOT give it some more..). To much volts never would crash it.
I tried for 3.5 last night but could not reach it. I can boot into windows and run Super Pi with no problem. Prime fails almost instantly. The ambient temps are pretty high right now so i may need to hold off until it cools off a bit. I like to keep it under 60C under load which i am gettting very close to with 3.4ghz @ 1.5v. Looks like i didn't get a 'gem' but it seems to be better then average.:)Quote:

I think a CPU will crash (I mean by this wasted itselfs ;)) When running all the way at 90-95. That's what I think :). However even when I think I'm wrong, I never would keep it going "above 70´s.

Games like Vegas wouldn't even do 20 fps @ 3.28 Ghz XD. (all high speed parts even 2GB)
8800/2900 dont need 3.5-4Ghz. Its usually limitation of game design. If CPU is busy doing software audio, software physics, and some stupid game AI that eats up millions of cycles but not all too bright, well that certainly interrupts with ability to properly feed GPU next batches.Quote:

On othe other hand RTS, with hundreds of units, or flight simulator, you never get 100fps, and its not that crucial to get very high frame rate, and game is very CPU demanding. Yeah, 4GHz C2D would be nice here, but thats only ~30% faster than 3Ghz. 10fps vs 13fps. Get my point?
Unlike GPU world where todays ASIC compared to 3 years ago is like 20x faster.

I'm pretty happy with this clock. Take a budget chip and turn it into a killer chip ;)
Oh, well in the Netherlands here Processor prices are much lower than USA. And more sorts of products because of the strong euro. 236 Euro''s right now. For me it's cheap we get Euro;s as easy like Americans get the SAME amount in Dollars.. even less.
I bought E6320 Early for 140 euros. No money, absolutely cheap. But whatever I only buy from the best of the best Internet Stores.
About my Overclock results E6320 @ 3.2 Ghz on AIR. The mainboard quites the game :P. 460 FSB on 100 Euro worth mainboard P5N-E-SLI. I wouldn't spend 100 more for just 400 Mhz.
The chip is from malaysia and the chip code/date is the one which does 3.5 Ghz easily, from comparable. Thats's why i feel a bit pitty about it XD.
Nice overclocks :)!

waiting for my ZALMAN 9700 to arrive so i can try for 3.6+
I just got a 6320 and trying to push as high as possible. I think my RAM could do more than 500mhz because I've pass memtest at those speed.
The problem is, I can run Prime for few hours but will fail OCCT within minutes. Sometimes my pc will auto restart when running OCCT? Does motherboard limitation causes Prime to fail?
Is this Coretemp and TAT error? Isn't this supposed to be tjunction 100c? 1.2vcore (I got the worst batch L644G :( ) Ambient temps are +25-27c

Hi guys, i'm new to the forum, and my first post. so be gentle. :D
i thought i would share with you guys my 6320.
i am currently running Asus P5K-E/wifi, enermax 500w liberty, Zalman 9700LED, and G.Skill 2x 1gb ram.
at the moment the highest stable i can go 471mhz@1.56v in bios. limiting factor here is the v's i think. i can go higher mhz but it'll only be stable in occt for about 10-20 mins. how ever the funky thing is if i give it more juice, e.g. at 1.575v in bios, the motherboard :banana::banana::banana::banana:s it self, cmos bad checksum, and i can't boot at factory auto everything. only fix is to flash the bios again. :down: but then maybe it can be that the fsb is too high for this p5k-e. shrug.
but anyways here's my screen shots. idles around 30C, and full load goes to about 53C.
With stock cooling and stock volts my E6320 only does 3.0GHz. With 1.53v on a QuadGT using air cooling I've had it up to 3465MHz.

No, I dont think so. I'm pretty sure all B2 stepping Conroe's have Tj 85C.Quote:

So far, it brings up higher temps than any other program that I've seen.
>1.5V. BIOS corruption at very high fsb. Motherboard shutting down at higher CPU voltage. Could be limitation of motherboard or CPU. ASUS P5E3 is putting up amazing overclocking numbers, hence the high price.
Any changes for the NB and SB voltages ?
Damn I hate how much voltage it takes to go up from 3.4Ghz
3.2 - default vcore (1.32v load)
3.4 - 1.4v (1.37v load)
3.6 - 1.52v (1.48v load)
3.8 - 1.6v (1.55v load)
my board maxes out at 1.6v at bios, and the vdrop + vdroop takes it down to 1.55v during load.
i have the right setup to reach 4Ghz: memo reaches 1000mhz+, chip fsb wall = ~530mhz, T.R.U.E 120 (3.6Ghz w/ 1.55v, max temps are 58º load) but the damn mobo has a HORRIBLE vdroop, and pencil mod didn't work.
