My stability problem appears to have resolved itself by upping memory voltage.
One last one before I go to sleep:
SLI run at 2.933 ghz with 2 7900 GTX 512MB (no OC on the 7900 GTX)

Not directly comparable. I see the gfx card use different drivers on the two rigs.
Something i've found in my E6300 testing, 975X seems to be VERY dependant on RAM. This G.Skill PC6400ZX i'm using just can't keep internal latencies tight enough, so i have to downclock it, and run with 5-6-6-18 timings.
ValueRAM isn't enough for Conroe, you need good quality PC6400 or higher if you want to overclock.
VERY nice 1000 point increase, just from the new CPU.
Be very nice if you could clock the E6600 down to 2.8ghz (or using FSB clock it up maybe, 7x400 does it for me), use the same drivers and do a direct, clock for clock comparison.
Ordered e6600 from costcentral. It showed in stock. I'm not really sure what I will do with it. I don't have a MB or DDR2 ram and can't afford it right now :D
These are SLI results, yes? Very interesting. My x2 4600 @ 3GHz plus 2x 7800GT stock do around 7300 in 3DM06, which is 1000 more than your second (single 7900GTX?) run. The Conroe is 25% more powerful there, though.Quote:

i heard that Retail version on conroe E6000series cant be Overvolt... is it true??
No afaik. I saw one report that this was so, but was a mobo / bios issue in that case.Quote:

no, i have info that 6 conroe retail been tested and 6 of them cant be ov... but ES can... well, it was tested on 975 board... hope 965 can do it...
Stop spreading stupid rumors !
well, we never know until we tested it... anyway i also already preorder E6600... im just worry too much huh...
Last week it was "Retail Core 2 Duo can't overclock" then now it's "Retail Core 2 Duo can't overvolt"...Quote:

Something tell me it's all come from an AMD forum...
I'd trade you my 840D EE and Asus P5WD2 Premium WiFi edition motherboard for it.Quote:

hopefully it just issues....

It sure looks like your temp measureing Chip is screwed up worse than the one on the Abit boards, what model does it use? Geesh Dude, never mind the processor reading too high. What about the 39 and 40C internal case temps?
With the amount of money spend on these danged things you'd think they could do a little better than that;) So we're supposed to spend over $250 on boards that can't measure temps correctly?
It said that for the x6800 above as well. I think they are just covering to be on the safe side since it supposedly ships directly from Intel.Quote:

After the MB I can probably temporarily use the memory from the HP. Its DDR2 4200 I believe. I'll just have to downclock the memory and live with the performance hit.Quote:

1.27v only 3.2G @.@
that seems not so good as before :(
I wanna see at least 1.3v 400*9 dual_sp2004 stable on Air .
LOL! Gotta luv this anticipation. Bring on the retails.Quote:
