My ip35 arrived so has my e6550. Just waiting on my HD and Ill have it up and running. Btw im using stock intel cooler in the meantime till I can decide what I want (and if I have cash left over after my 8800gts purchase, lol).

lol so again the early retail B's are good. geez so frustrating :)
Anyone with a retail cpu that can post its results?
I got my new e6550 up to 3150 Mhz (450x7 with 1:1)
Stable in Orthos 1 Hour
I tried booting at 500x7 but didn't even post. I believe it's the P5N-E Sli mobo that limits the oc because not everybody can get the FSB up to 500 on it.
So max oc for me is sth between 450-499 x 7 but I can surely go higher with another motherboard. NB got 1,563v and cpu is 1,36v (maybe I should up it?)
Temps are ok, using Zalman 9500 to cool it.
I know it may not really be very good for you "xtreme" people but I am new to overclocking (only did a pathetic 212 FSB OC on my 4000+ before). The Rig cost me 600 € and I only intended to oc it to 3 Ghz at first but I am happy with the results.
If you want to give me any tips on what I could do/try for better oc, go ahead ^^
Core Temp and Everest CPUID show the 6550 as 6650 :)

This is actually the best I got my cpu to run on air.. Not to bad:D

Bah! You have an ES :p:
I'm gonna stick with dualcore until they have lower powerhungry Quadcores out. This chip is mine!

To the OP, what is the batch number of your e6850 ?
ok, I could bring mine up to 3451 Mhz, but that's as far as it can get and I don't even know if it is stable yet, I'm wondering if I should replace the mobo and get 680i to see how far it overclocks
A p35 should be better for this kind of cpu
Can you maybe recommend me one that is also compatible with upcoming intel 45 chips ? Should I stay with Asus as several of their boards are supposed to support it.Quote:

I prefer the DQ6, it has a better cooling solution and better build quality. Both boards overclocked a few different E6550's for me to the exact same FSB limit.
Either board is very nice though!
My E6550 at stock volts did 7 x 450 = 3.150 GHz no problem. Now its time to start pushing it higher. Doing this on the Gigabyte P35C-DS3R. L719A batch. Orthos stable 6 hours no problem so far.
just got E6550 L723A, what can i expect from it? :)
I have the same batch and i can run 475-485*7 (1,28v) with a crappy wc system in a p5k "vanilla" vmodded. I didn't test any further, got no time for that.Quote:

what's your VID, is it normal that lowest vcore in my bios is 1.3375V? :(
can you guys set vcore less then 1.3v with E6550 ?
3.15 here too, with the p5n-e sliQuote:

i have 14...only 15 is newest.
Damn... That's too bad! My VID goes from 1.00v to 1.70v, and your lowest is 1.33? Sell your board and buy another, i think it's the best solution.
