    Intel BadAxe and X6800 Question

    Suppose i plan on pairing intels badaxe board rev.304 with a conroe X6800 (2.93Ghz, 11x multip, 1066fsb)...will my oc limit be the board's 30% OC limit or the proc itself?

    as far as multipliers on the XE, im aware they are unlocked both up and down, whats the highest multi?

    and if the multi could go to lets say 18 or so, that would make it easier to negate the 30% fsb limitation cause i can just increase multi...is my logic here correct?

    i appreciate all the help you guys can offer to an XS newbie

    In bios you have the option to switch from the normal 1066 bus speed 266x4 to a 1333 bus speed 333x4.
    Well 333x30%= 433 bus speed.
    433 x 11= 4763mhz of cpu speed.
    I think you will be fine.

    the highest multi was way over 18, it was in the 20's somewhere... I dont remember. worked great in a 304 badaxe for me.

    You have lots of FSB headroom, and the unlocked multi makes it easy.

    I think the highest defined multiplier for the Core 2 Duo chips is 32x...LOTS of headroom with an XE...

    Why not? Prescott has a maximum defined multiplier of 60x.

    CrystalCPUID shows 6.0x-32x multiplier range on a Merom...only usable up to the CPU's original maximum though.
