I received a 44A E4300 yesterday, it is the worse clocking C2D i've owed. Needing 1.45V just to post @ 3000MHz... My 41A is a much better clocker, and it still is bad.

the ds3 is too unreliable for me, the p5b deluxe is too expensive and i hear the abit ab9 is a very poor overclocker, and i assume the gigabyte s3 is similar to the ds3.so i guess im stuck with the p5b-e.no other choices in my price range from the shop im buying from.hopefully my ram can at the very least run at its rated clockspeed+timings with only 2.1v.Quote:

RAMMAN and dnottis, I've figured out vdimm pencil mod on p5b vanilla. I believe it to be similar on p5b-e. Depends on your revision though since layout on my vanilla is different from some
E6600 are :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:es... really:

I will try another thing now on... but i need to get v1.65+ to reach 4000 Mhz---
3.2GHz needs about 1.5Vcore :banana:Quote:

wow..this sucks
I also tested E4300 same week as yours, Q644A, at 3.2Ghz, have to pump vcore more than 1.55v to make it stable. :(Quote:

Same here. People saying 3.2GHz takes 1.5v+ is ridiculous. I can do 3.2GHz at like 1.35v.Quote:

I have a 41A E6400 which isn't as bad. It will do 3.5GHz with 1.5V stable, and 4GHz benchable with 1.6V.
Sucks for me! I waited for the price cuts now I am in a :banana::banana::banana::banana: position :(Quote:

I run 3.2GHz 24/7 with the only voltage change being the vcore to 1.3125v and all the other voltages (besides the .1v bump my RAM needs) are stock. It runs 3.4GHz with the same voltage but my crappy Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 can't seem to keep it under 60C(load) when it's set at 3.4 so 3.2 is the speed until I upgrade to the Tuniq or Thermaltake Ultra120 and a fat fan.
Maybe being an early adopter pays sometimes? The later C2D chips seem to be hit or miss as do the newer DS3 revisions. :confused:
I'm hoping to grab an early Q6600 when those get cheap. ;) Apparently the first chips out of the gate have to be good to help sell the more marginal chips to follow. :p:
Are the latest 3060 also pretty bad OCers??
Might be able to post some results from my 6400 L630F later tonight. Going from amd to intel tho. So gotta reinstall windows and setup all the software crap before i can do anythin.
Looks like the poor guy gets screwed by Intel......i guess i'll just wait for dual core K10 and buy some new cymbals in the mean time.
Why are those complains about DS3? What's the problem with it?:confused:
I have a DS3 and a L628B183 E6400.
It needs 1.4v for 3GHz and 1.46v for 3.2GHz stable. It needs 1.52v to post at 3.4GHz and it is not stable at that frequency even at 1.55v.
After reading how a lot of people are pushing their E6400 to 3.2GHz+ stable at 1.3x voltage I was thinking to replace my E6400 with a one with L632A942 stepping. What do you think about this stepping? and do you think that its a good idea to replace my E6400?
Gigabyte DS3 rev 1.0 works very good for me. Very stable and FSB 490+ (RAM is limiting) w/out touching the NB/MCH voltages.
Have heard only good things about Gigabyte P965 mobos until now.
Tomorrow I'll be able to test E6400 (701A:confused: )+P5N-SLI 650i:)
Stay tuned...:p:
I wouldnīt say we get screwed just that Intel was extremely generous :D
btw did I just got lucky? Can get this cheap
L629B374
best thing is the guy isnīt an overclocker. He has run it at 1,35 volts on his reserator aimed for quitness :D
That means is batch week 1 of year 2007. A very new batch.Quote:
