|[UPDATED]|E6600 + P5B Dx & 402XTREME = 4.51GHz / 564MHz FSB --> 1M/16M/32M/3D...

NB Cooler ?? Stock ??

Yes, sir - SB and NB cooler stock, untouched including TIM. Actually, believe it or not, CPU and its cooling seems to play a huge role when it comes to FSB. On stock heatink, all I saw was stable 517MHz... Now look, 564MHz

Bachus as usally you are pushing the hardware to the limits!!
Xtreme overclocking with extreme number of benchmarks results Too bad you haven't chance to try X6800

Thanks a ton! It's always a pleasure to race with all of you guys, in our 16M Challenge All those vmods, pushing for best results and my will to fight are pretty much inspired by that ongoing, 16M competition

********************
Alrighty, quick vcore mod done (all I could do at this moment, without removing too much of an insulation job )!



A propos, I had one hell of a scare - I made a fundamental mistake *NOT* to make! I preset my pot to 47kOhm and soldered it in. About 15sec after I did it, it came to my mind that I was not sure If I soldered the right leg. But noooo, stupidly I said "screw it" and fired my rig up! Next thing I know, of course, it won't POST. I checked mosfets and they were scorching HOT, although vcore measured on them reported only 1.15v. So, I shut it down, unsolder wire and check resistance - 2kOhm, damn, I was right... WRONG leg! I'm totally surprised it actually still works

Anyway, I pulled a sweet, personal records in 16M, 32M and MAX FSB! Check it out
