Update on my existing CPU.

Retail E6600 Week 26
Asus P5W DH, BIOS 0801

Cooling: ThermalTake Big Typhoon
3200 (356 x 9) Orthos stable @ 1.4000 vCore BIOS, 1.55 vMCH
3360 (373 x 9) Orthos stable with excellent cooling @ 1.4500 vCore BIOS, 1.55 vMCH
3600 (400 x 9) bootable into Windows, but very unstable @ 1.5500 vCore BIOS....

Cooling: Custom water. PA120.2 with two Yate Loons @ 7 V, Laing D5 @ 1 setting, AquaXtreme MP-05 Pro on CPU, AquaXtreme MP-01 on GPU (7900 GTX)
3400 (378 x 9) Orthos stable on Water @ 1.4750 vCore BIOS, 1.65 vMCH
RAM sucks, will be Blend stable if I go to 5-5-5-15. Should be getting OCZ PC6400 Plat XTC Rev. 2 in the next couple days.

12H Prime stable /ORTHOS/
VCore 1.48 inBIOS MCH 1.6V Mem 2.1V chip is week 24 OEM

cooling:Alphacool Nexxos +custom made retaining -no plastic bolts but screws

[bypolar]

Moving right along here,anything above 3.2G I have to raise the Core Volts. I have it set to 1.43V.
Also notice the CAS of 3. The Memtimings are all on auto and are good up to 465 at theses settings.Really strange.

[Budwise]

Whats the Vcore on that Dani?

[Dani]

IDLE/FULL LOAD = 1.525V, measured from mobo (Vdroop mod)

E6300 Wk.26 SL9SA
Gigabyte DS3 F4
Geil PC-6400 5-5-5-15 1.8v

I'm 95% sure it's the RAM holding this back. It's taking 2.1V just to do 880 @ stock timings. Question is should I drop some cash on new RAM or sell the proc and get an E6400? Keep in mind it's doing 3.08Ghz at 1.3185v.

[famich]

To Dani : why week 24 ?

Mine is a week 24 as well and s doing good
I do not honestly believe in all those "theories " that OEM clock worse than retail and I ve not seen
any particular " better or worse " week of production so far

Actually I dont know, what I have seen so newer batch (week) lower Vcore to OC..
My E6600 w24 do not 3.6GHz SP8M stable, or then is my ASUS P5WDH stopping me @ 400MHz
Should do Vmch mod to fing out what is going on

[famich]

I ve got VMCH 1.6V , I guess it depends... what s you cooling setup like ?

[Mr.X]

I can't seem to get my E6600 stable at 3.4Ghz. It's stable at 3.2Ghz with 1.35v and 1.50MCH, and seems stable at 3.3Ghz with 1.38v vcore and 1.55MCH but it fails Orthos in a few seconds at 3.4Ghz and 1.40v v-core. Sometimes I'm not even able to enter the BIOS to change something after a failed stability test unless I downclock it a bit in Windows.

Any suggestions?

How do you want people think ES stepping 5 doesn't overclock better than retails.... ROFL ( and you ran a 965 chip !! )

Congratulations ,so fast !

By the way do you have too much stuff to go with ? ( didn't see your sig at once .. ) lol

what vcore and bios for P5B so ?

[Absolute_0]

So close!

[Cornel]

What do you guys meen with Dual Pi 32M.

Is there another version of super pi /mod 1.5 XS out? or just run 2x of Super PI mod1.5 XS?

[Absolute_0]

for dual super pi
Copy the .exe into two executables and open both
Go to task manager and set the affinities so that one instance pertains to Core0 and the other to Core1

Run them simultaneously.

This chip has the beveled IHS corners, and runs much hotter than my L626 E6600. Doing quick test with custom water. FSB set with ClockGen, vCore set in BIOS. Asus P5WDH 0801.

300 x 10 - 1.3500 vCore - 5 min Orthos Small FFT stable, stopped manually.
320 x 10 - 1.3500 vCore - 5 min Orthos Small FFT stable, stopped manually.
330 x 10 - 1.3500 vCore - 10 min Orthos Small FFT stable, stopped manually.
335 x 10 - 1.3500 vCore - Orthos Small FFT FAIL.
340 x 10 - 1.4000 vCore - 8 min Orthos Small FFT stable, stopped manually. CORETEMP @ 70 C... uhoh.
350 x 10 - 1.4500 vCore - 5 min Orthos Small FFT stable, stopped manually
355 x 10 - 1.4750 vCore - 6 min Orthos Small FFT stable, stopped manually. CORETEMP @ 72 C, Speedfan @ 59 C
360 x 10 - 1.5000 vCore - 5 min Orthos Small FFT stable, stopped manually. CORETEMP @ 76 C, Speedfan @ 61 C.

EDIT: Just checked the mount. It's terrible! Thank you concave IHS.
EDIT2: I think I'll lap this thing to bring temps down... now to get the balls to go through with voiding warranty on a 1 day old $700 chip LOL



EDIT3: Added picture
