So we're talking either 8000 memory at low timings or 6400 very tight?

6400 @ 3-4-3. With more voltage I canprobably run 3-3-3 at same speed.Quote:

For instance, does it boot without any quirk @400x9, from, say, 300x9 for one reboot? And when you power off the machine and turn it back on, does it boot @400x9 with no issue? I'd much appreciate it if you can share your experience. I've had some trouble with ASUS voards in the past because of their unstable voltage regulations.
Thanks. Yes, you can boot up above 400FSB. The maximum seems to depend on the board and the BIOS. With 0078 BIOS, I was able to boot up at 445 with maximum BIOS voltages on everything except VCore.
One thing I forgot to mention. Don't use Clockgen. It doesn't work very well on this board. Use SetFSB instead. Link. Even though the program says "P5WD2", it was recently updated to work with P5W DH.
Thanks. I'm sure you will. ;)Quote:

i dont know if its wrong for me to ask this but i havnt seen anyone ask this so ill go for it
whats your idle and load and whats safe?
With VCore at 1.6v, AiBooster showed temps in the low 30's at idle and low to mid-40's under load. I think AiBooster readings are a little on the low side. Running dual Prime at 1.6v with air-cooling will cause temps to skyrocket. Very high 50's. My guess is that temps were actually in the 60's. I would advise people not to attempt dual Prime on air with that much voltage.
Is there not a way to put some type of probe on the cpu or the bottom of the heatsink to get direct temps? Perhaps its very hard or risky to do? Just curious
A lot of people are wondering about the temps with conroe, Im geting reports of very cool to :cussing: hot at idle with water and air.
I don't have a thermal probe, so I can't do that test. With VCore below 1.55v and a decent HSF, you should be fine. But people who want to run dual Prime on air will find they're probably going to have to lower voltage and CPU speed a lot. But since this is the Xtreme Overclocking section, I'm not worried about voltage, as long as my CPU does not melt. :)
i also love to get benches and hi speeeds but i neeed to use my computer for stuff like gaming and cal so i need it to be safe and stable but i was also trying to figure out if its possible to get speeds near yours with it safe and stable
Watercooling might help. I think it's going to be hard finding an air-cooled E6600 or E6700 that's dual Prime stable at 4GHz. Might have a better chance with an X6800.
I have a practical side too. :) My E6600 is mainly for testing. It may eventually end up in a 24/7 system. But for now, I'm just having fun testing the limits of the chip.
And yes, you can get decent bandwidth on Conroe platform. :D

I have been trying for the last day to get my E6600 to even post using the DFI Infinity board :mad:
I have an 830D that I have used to change settings (it works fine with this POS chip :rolleyes: ), I have tried all the ram settings from 400 upto 667, I have tried really loose timings with no luck, I have tried with just one stick of my G.Skill 6400 with no luck, tried upping Vcore, NDv etc etc and each time I do any change I then put the E6600 back in but each time its the same.....................nothing, no post, no bios, I have even changed/tried every bios with no luck
I have now swapped over CPU's 16 times and I am now convinced this Conroe is dead :stick: :(
Sierra.. what is youre max fsb ~ 1.65 vmch
Max FSB with air-cooling and Vmch at 1.65v is 450. As soon as I buy a new tip for my soldering iron, I will do the Vmch mod. Just too busy with other things right now.
How do you get FSB beyond 400? I thought the P5W DH locks it there.
No, there is no lock. Many people have gone above 400FSB without mods. You generally need to increase MCH (memory controller hub) chipset voltage.
Still on air. Board still unmodded. I think I will make 4100MHz. Wish it wasn't so hot in my area. Even with A/C on, ambient temp is still 23-24C.

time to freeze the MCH hehe
as always pretty results... Impressive

Nice going sierra.......put the board in front of the a/c system now? :DQuote:

max fsb 1m stable 500fsb 1.90vmch :banana:
keep it @ air? or gonna try something else too? next is phase here.
I may do Vmch mod. Just been lazy. The VR's are sitting right in front of me. :rolleyes:
Yes, I saw your results. Awesome job. :toast:
pop on the mod...... :stick:
the system gonna be a lot more stable @ 1.74vmch and maxed out on 475-480.
The board is holding you up now, see if you can reach 11.9xx sec s-pi, i've tryed but can't becouse of the corsairs.
