E6600 - 3.4GHz - 9x378MHz on 1.275V. Prime stable of course. Is it good enough ?

[Richard Dower]

Don, try 425x8...same deal just higher FSB.

E6300 | 3220Mhz 1.33v | Freezer 7 Pro | P5B Deluxe WiFi/AP Bios 0804 | Corsair XMS DDR2 (PC2 6400) 460Mhz 1:1 | Sapphire X1900XT

Any critiques/tips for my setup? I'm not very familiar with overclocking Intel processors and would like to know I've got things set up optimally.

BIOS:




Specs:


Idle Temp @ 66 degrees F ambient:


On 100% CPU usage processor gets up to 55 Celcius

Ok...here's mine. back in the saddle. Specs as per signature.

C2D E6600 Batch# L631B057

This is 100% stable, overnight prime stable, GRAW for several hours, etc.

Burning in and will push higher once more intel OCing experience is gained. I'll tell ya, it's hard switching from A64s after 3 or so years...

[alpha0ne]

That looks like a really nice core hollywood

Very similar to my E66 looking at coretemp VID though mine will run @ 3.60GHz with a lot less Vcore

i've just got my e6300 this morning.i am impressed.

i oc'd it to 2.8ghz just to have a dabble and in science mark i got 1600.my d930 at 4.4ghz only got 1448.





i will give it a cuppla hours to settle and try for more.i am well impressed with this chip.i've had amd before and the d930,but this is quite fast.and straight to 400 fsb.with the d930 in this board the most that would do was 250fsb.
i tried super pi too,i got 19secs for the 1mb test.

got to 3.1 now easy.450fsb with ram at 900 1:1

what about this then-

What stepping Supa ??, very nice clocks and that ram is

[nugzo]

I recieved this chip from newegg ca warehouse. 6600 L631B057. not bad so far on air.

[dnottis]

WTF is wrong with the latest E6400s? I just had 2 of them, L629a and L628a that couldnt even run 3.4 Ghz stable. My 6300 can run up to 3.6, but at ultra high FSB speeds. I wanted something that would be less taxing on the chipset - really disappointed in the 6400s though.

[Brian y.]

Corsair 8500 c5,watercooled

[markopoleo]

Stock HSF, ignore the memory settings, its running at 4-4-4-12. I can boot to 3.4ghz but need better cooler :P
Gigabyte DS3 F7 bios
Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz (week 29 if you care)
2 gig CORSAIR TWIN2X2048-6400C4 DDR800 4-4-4-12
EVGA 7600 GT

[Dietka]

E6300 and code is ---> FPO#: L628A800 <--- What can i wait ?

I have AsRock Dual 775 VSTA so i cant test how this goes.

Now i get that P5B Deluxe AP and clocks just goes fine. 3360Ghz with 1.400V and maybe goes faster if more voltages.

3360Mhz

[Dani]

E6600 L630A
ASUS P5W64WS Pro with official BIOS 0304
Watercooled CPU & NB, water +26'C

[Viss]

Very nice one Dani.

[TI66ER]

heres a 1m pi for my e6300 at 3.5ghz (500fsb) with ram at 1000 1:1

[Dietka]

Now i get that P5B Deluxe AP and clocks just goes fine. 3360Ghz with 1.400V and maybe goes faster if more voltages.

3360Mhz

Now just finding tight mem settings, Rhinos goes fine. 3360Mhz was stock cooler and 1.4V. Thanks to The Stilt for good mems!

how bout 3dmark05 (all tests), what cpu score did u get?

[Dietka]

I only test SP 8M with those clocks. 3DMARK05 was just 3150Mhz but didnt watch cpu scores and shot is too small


No CPU tests run, only graphics.

[TI66ER]

your ram will do 500mhz at 5.4.4.9,so why have you got it at 5.5.5.15 at only 480mhz? surely it will run that 480mhz at slightly lower timings.

on my p5b-d,my 6300 will do 3.5ghz(500fsb) with vcore at 1.4 with ram at 1000 1:1.your ram is rated for 500 anyway,so why not give it a try? temps at that are about 40-41c idle and about 61-63maxxed with a freezer 7 pro.
