Or could there be other causes for the large fft prime failure? Thanks!

How are your temps there @1.57V, lopri?Quote:

My specs are a:
e6300 allendale
gigabyte ds3 (f4c)
Stock cooling.
2x512 G.skill HZ DDR 800
Hiper 580w
BFG 7900gt
CoreTemp reports 62~64C most of the time with some hickups to 66C once in a while.Quote:

here is load good sir, not really worth takin a pic @ idle, its 1.280.

starting to tune the mem, i had set the cas manually to 4, left the rest to auto, and apparantly, auto was 6 to the DS3 lol. Seems to run just fine @ 4-5-5 @ DDR800 right now, ill try 4-4-4 later.
the e6300 and e6400 are pretty much the same except the multiplier is 8x vs. 9x. So the e6400 sould get higher since it is less limited by the RAM (you'll need higher RAM, overclocked RAM, or a memory divider for a lower multiplier to achieve higher FSB). On these threads I've seen e6400's hitting 3.6-3.8ghz (on air or liquid), which I can't say for the e6300's (low 3's except for phase/extreme cooling).
ah well, is the e6300 limited by temperature, fsb, or is it the chip just needs more vcore to go past 3.2ghz...is that why they are the low 3's..I've seen a majority hitting 3.2ghz...I'm gonna lap the heatsink and use some decent air cooling so that'll give a you more degrees..but maybe I'll just stick to the e6400..Quote:

On www.clubit.com I think it was around $387 for both cpu and mobo including shipping but not tax. I'm going to have to put my Opteron 170 ccb1e 0550vpmw 2.9ghz air 1.45vcore on ebay pretty soon...
E6300 = max multiplier of 7Quote:

Matt1 is right, sorry, just thinking of the e6600 that is coming in next week for me from tigerdirect.com($372 with shipping no tax in CA).
e6600 9x
e6400 8x
e6300 7x

Ok...just got this set up last night, so not much tweaking. Here are the details:
E6400
Giga DS3-F4 Bios
2x1024 OCZ 6400 Platinum Rev. 2
XP-120 w/low speed fan
I had absolutely no issues getting this thing up and running. Board came with F1 bios but had no issues with my ram. I loaded XP and then flashed to the F4 bios, bumped my vdimm by .3 and then let it run prime overnight. I think both the RAM and chip have a bunch more left in it. :)
Self
Still on stock HS/Fan but up to 445fsb so far without issue

I have settled for 3.2 with my e6400 as well. My main limiting factor right now are temps. To run stable at 3.4 it take more vcore and things start getting toasty. I have tweaked the RAM down to 4-4-4-12 since and running fine.
I am really thinking about lapping the IHS and seeing if I can get the temps down some more.
e6400
DS3
2GB OCZ Plat.
Air cooling - Tower 112

Man I am having a Hell of a time getting stable above 3 gig on my E6400. It takes just too much vcore to move to something like 3.2 gig and be stable. 1.350v is stable at 3 gig, but unless I bump to something like 1.45v, 3.2 gig isn't happening. My first instance of prime fails when I load both procs within seconds, everytime. It's like clockwork. It's crazy that I can get 3 gig easy, but 3.2 is such a vcore whore. Wish I knew wtf the deal was...I refuse to believe its the chip!!! (Although it probably is and I should just sell it and get a new one, week 25s and better seem to be where it's at)
You guys think the vdroop mod might help me out here?
Idiotec, that's what I'm lookin for! Wish I could get 400x8 on that vcore :/
hey i did notice that although im getting a very good OC @ the volts i have, if i up the volts much, temps go through th roof, and a xp 120 can handle it. Perhaps the IHS is really a problem, but i dont know. I know i had this problem with one of my x2 3800's, because of IHS issues, but im not going to lap my brand new proc which i waited to get retail for in case of problems. @ 3.2Ghz, it absolutely decimates anything in AMD's line, and is faster than a stock x6800. Anyways, to anybody that was following my progress, i tweaked mem from 4-6-6 down to 4-4-4 and got 44.2k @ 3.2Ghz :)
vcore is 1.365 in BIOS.Quote:

My first build :D
Vcore set at 1.4375 in BIOS. Vdimm at 2.15 in that shot, testing at 2.1 now. Ignore AIbooster, it reports incorrectly. Cooler is Thermaltake Big Typhoon, as seen in my sig.
My case fans are so bad that my temps drop to 41c load with the side of the case off. :(
Finally, what is that -5c temp in speedfan about? Sometimes it's a negative number in the single digits, other times it's stuck at 126C.
DS3 and F4 BIOS. And that's what I've been thinking the whole time, but it's the first core that errors out whenever the voltage isn't high enough, so I wasn't totally sure if it could be something else or not. Cooling is up to snuff, and the first core always errors out instantly or within a few minutes when voltage isn't high enough. The second one never has a problem. Other BIOS settings don't seem to make it anymore stable (fsb and mch voltage, for instance).Quote:

Not a bad first build o/c! Good job. Open 'er up and see if you can hit 400 FSB :)Quote:
