the extra PCI E in DS4, DQ6 might be their achilie's heel when it comes to OCing .... not sure
Just ordered this board from the Egg. :)
Hopefully it'll treat my E6600 nicely!
i said that cuz hicookie seem to have trouble pass 450fsb or something ...
yeah du i hear ya, i called about 5 fry store around me (san jose) ... those idiots dont even know what was talking about ....Quote:

no thats just my guess, feel free to get DQ6, DS4 if u want. although what will u do with the extra PCI E? umm with hacked driver anything is possible, but the performance is .... meh
Physics with ATI or something.... i dunno... couldn't hurt, eh?;)Quote:

E6300 review at XBit:

As we have already said, Core 2 Duo processors have their clock frequency multiplier locked at a relatively low value. As a result, the mainboards used for overclocking experiments like that should allow increasing the FSB frequency quite significantly. Unfortunately, the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe mainboard we used could only support 420MHz FSB frequency. That is why we didn’t manage to get more impressive results. Although, what we achieved was quite remarkable already, I should say.
misteroadster is right. This board is a perfect match for an E6300! Screw the E6600 for now.
480 FSB is amazing. Anyone else got these results yet? I'm waiting for atleast one more person to confirm that result before I buy one.
Once 480+ is confirmed, it will be OOS. I say get in line now :) :DQuote:

E4200 ~= 150
GA-P965-DS3 ~= 150
2x1GB DDR2-800 Geil Value (5-5-5-15) ~= 200
And look at the power consumption:

X6800 draws the same power as the X2 4600+ (2.2GHz 2x512KB) "Energy Efficient" :eek:

so no one else has gotten their yet huh ? well lets hope for some weekend presonnal reviews to show up here
Now I have to find a cheap 2GB set of DDR2 that would be a good match for this FSB.:cool:Quote:

i'm in a good spot on the tankguys pre-order list, but thats it.Quote:

my friend tested 6600 step5 and 6400step4 put on DS3
6600 won't boot over fsb400,
6400 boot fsb480
So this is with the F2 bios?Quote:

maybe all those Conroe come from the same wafer and all clock about the same speed. Making the e6300 an awesome overclock and a not that good overclock for the e6600.
That could explain why.
Weird stuff, so the E6600 might be at it's limit? Is that what it looks like? I wonder what an E6400 would do...
EDIT: Misread Hicookies post, 6400 @ 480 = 3.8 GHz....hmm?
Hicookie said that E6400 @ 480 fsb bootQuote:

this is starting to coincide with other people i have seen say they have other baords that have issues with the stepping 5 cpu's.... i dont like this. mine is a stepping 5.
