Air-cooled E6600 at 4054MHz

[sierra_bound]

For testing, it's a lot easier to run outside of a case. Can change out components much faster. My daily system is housed in a Mountain Mods case. Best case I've ever owned.

[sierra_bound]

That heatsink looks bad ass.

That's a Tuniq Tower 120. Does a really good job. It's heavy but I've used it on boards mounted sideways in a case.

UFO looking good Sierra....

[sierra_bound]

Thanks, gocchin. The case uses eight fans. I have eight Yate Loons and as you know, they're very quiet.

I am playing with a 6600es and air.
Asus p5w dh de luxe Mushkin xp2 6400 2 x 512
zalman 9500 with extra 120mm DELTA screamer
One thing i have changed was my pci-e card and took a old pci vanta vid.

almost readt to post but i test new mem first next week, to high on the timings

what is your best cpu-z validation at this point ?



could not get beyond that 450
no mods yett

[sierra_bound]

I have not tried for a screenshot higher than 4054MHz. Generally I don't like to post screens unless I can run something with it, like SuperPi 1M. For me, it has to be benchable in some form.

The biggest obstacle with unmodded board is of course FSB. Without mod, you will run into a brick wall. Lowering the multiplier does not help, at least in my case. I believe kyosen has reached 485 with 7 multiplier and a modded board. And kaz-n has hit 502 with 6x and 4:3 ratio.

Yepp 485FSB 7x multi and watercooled N/B. I wonder what cooling Kaz-n used?

[petervandamned]

I have only tested this to see the wall

but in 1m i have a high 12 sec
room for improvement

I think he was using air. 502X6 is only 3GHz. More importantly he was using 1.975v for Vmch. In order to do 480+ you generally need at least 1.9v.

Yes, looks like you have a good chip. Have fun with it.

[NiCKE^]

Hm is there any certain N/B chip or something one should get to achieve high FSB? Seems like it vary some between users.

502FSB air is insane

Under 13 mins.

wow congrats mate... i need better ram hehe

[fredyama]

Congrats on your U13m, David-san

[Hazzan]

It's my lucky box. I may not get to Vmch mod this weekend. SS cooling should allow me to run 32M above 4GHz though.

This Conroe 6600 ES or not ? by the way nice your chip Man

[NiCKE^]

Nice Sierra_Bound! 2gb or 1gb ram?

[sierra_bound]

Thanks, Fred-san and everyone else.

Nice Sierra_Bound! 2gb or 1gb ram?

2GB

[NiCKE^]

I regret so much that I bought 1GB now :P
Is this with the tuniq?

[sierra_bound]

The problem is the FSB wall. I've bought some VR's and will probably do the Vmch and Vdimm mods in the near future.

[NiCKE^]

Ow, but you can run at that freq with lower volts then with air most likely

[sierra_bound]

Yes, less voltage with Vapochill. I think I also had a bad mount. Will give it another try either late tonight or tomorrow.

[NiCKE^]

You didn't have the same luck as PcC2iminal with the fsb @ max bios volts
Well I'm sure you will do some bad ass pi's soon!
Good luck.

[sierra_bound]

Thanks. Actually I have not tried maximum voltage yet. Personally I'm not interested in just a CPU-Z validation shot. I want to be able to run 32M. Of course, it may be that he has a better chip than me, which is fine. More power to him. Still, I'm not exactly disappointed with my E6600.

[NiCKE^]

Hehe you can't be disappointed with it
Hope my Asus will go far

Congrats!! under 13minutes.
Nice run, by air cooled.

[gocchin]

Nice work Sierra, I hope I can do the same with my E6600!
