Average e6600 Overclocks?

[uOpt]

I also observed that for Conroe there is a bigger challenge of making a "pretty-solid" overclock actually dual-prime stable.

I ran a lot of benchmarks just fine, and many of those checked actual computed results, on Conroe clocks that later turned out to reliably fail a 36 hour dual-mprime test.

So it's really a question of what you expect.

For r5 E6600s you seem to be able to do 3.6 at medium volts bench-stable and medium-high volts mprime-stable and have room to mess around up to 3.9 GHz depending on how many volts you want to pump in.

Also keep in mind that such a CPU at 3600-3900 at 1.5 V takes up insane amounts of power, much more than AMD64 dual-cores around 2.7-2.9 GHz.
