Erm... who is the noob? It's "Engineering Sample"
Haha you caught my senior moment...my e6750ES isn't that special either...Quote:

nzbleach here on xs got one of them, hes testing it now and i think he did get it orthos stable, but he still ran 06 with only 1.33v so if its not stable yet, it should be stable with more.
I woudnt give to much hopes on 3.6+ ghz on air, since it comes in the first place with a 8x multiplier, second limitation is the FSB wall, I saw some ES chips that are walled around 460fsb, just like the Q6600 , of course we need to see some retail results.Quote:

what good is that then?not to sound rude...Quote:

sure its a great point where u can see what the cpu are stable as, but if you can loop 3dmark several times, play game like COD4, crysis , use your computer all day long without crash, then it seems stable to me :) orthos and prime are strange sometimes, and BSOD shortly even though you have done all above..
I ordered my E6600 on release day. It will do 3.4GHz on 1.55v 24/7 stable, but anything much over that and it putters out. 385-390 seems to by my FSB wall no matter what voltage, on air.Quote:

However, can do 3.8-3.9ghz orthos stable.
3.6ghz on stock volts.
Gets quite hot even at 1.45v during testing...
Need to get an aussie chip...=(
It is either stable or it isn't. It's like pregnancy. She either is or isn't, no half way.Quote:

Your CPU will never get stressed in real life like it does with Orthos so no point in going for lower clocks just to get it "orthos stable".
Well this is starting to suck... few months ago, psyched to get a penryn quad, but with 8 or 8.5 multi's and limited FSB, thats a total waste unless I want to take up the sport of video encoding.
Then maybe the E8500 and get 4.2+... and now thats iffy. I might still gamble $300 on E8500, though would just be for fun, performance wise I am likely to end up with zilch.
I wonder if amd was competitive if we would have 9 multis on some of the cheaper (penryn) quads like the (9x on the) q6600.

I like seeing orthos stable because it is the only way to objectively prove to others it is a usable overclock.
I can throw up a superpi run at 4.3+ and claim I am gaming for hours without crashes with it. And maybe I am and maybe I am not, who knows.
Thats not to say I dont like seeing max fsb and max OC, that is interesting to see and test as well. But I also like to see max possible 24/7 settings, and that is best objectively shown to others by orthos, prime stable.
Ok, that did not come out quite right, I meant maybe we would have 9x on cheaper penryns, like the 9 multiplier on q6600.Quote:

Jesus G1raffe I'm in Melbourne too and bought 3 E8400's trying to get 4GHz stable :mad:Quote:
