3.7GHz @ 1.55v Pi and windows stable. Would prime with 1.6v+, but I ain't planning on trying that anytime soon.

I've got the L623A790 as well :D

Looks like you have good results. My rig isn't up and running yet :(

Interesting how it says "1.35v MAX". lol

Any retail 4MB Conroe with at least 9x450 on 965 board any cooling?

Most retails seem to halt at 3.6ghz. which is poor. But nothing some extra cooling on the NB can sort out. Apart from the mad guys like Sierra etc. I've only seen a few of go 3.7ghz and one or two above that.

Stable is another matter though!

moonraker
no offense

but hmmm ... your signature slide show ....hmmmm :eek: :eek:

I don't really understand, 4.5Ghz ES (and today even 5Ghz) http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=112009

But retail can't even pass 4Ghz? Someone told me about different strap with 4MB conroes but why then ES have no problems

For those posts you need to look at what cooling they are using. Not a sinle one running 4.5Ghz plus was running air/water. This is what you need for over 5Ghz:

- Lucky chip
- Very skilled overclocker that knows vdroop, etc mods
- LN2, cascade, etc.
