New E6600 batches, post your Overclock

[|2ed |ey]

ah the good old days .. yes I am into mountain biking .. I use to do a lot of downhill and jumping I still jump but I take it easy .. I'll ride up then down how about yourself what kind of riding do you do

Yes I am running whats in my sig, NCIX = GOOD

I actually just received my cpu today and am OCing at the moment, currently testing 400x9 3.6ghz at 1.48 loaded I am hoping it just has a break in period because 1 step lower Vcore in the bios I got a bluescreen after 40 min

I don't know what the deal is but the two newer batch cpu's I have had both like to bluescreen instead of failing orthos

doger_666 ... I am very happy so far with my cooling, good luck with yours

What is your other batch no?

What is your other batch no?

well the one I was just running was L629B367 which I was running at 3.3ghz with 1.43 Vcore any higher the voltage would be through the roof

also had a L638F050 and it was crap .. don't even remember what I had

My L709A442 is running at 3.6 with 1.48v loaded small fft's 8 hours

currently running blend to see if she is stable .. just knocked the voltage down one step and she crashed after 3 min

Hi Guys

I'm thinking of upgrading my E6300 which is at 3.00GHZ atm to ethier a
Core 2 Duo E6600 or a Core 2 Duo E6700.

I basicly want to get 3.6 GHZ out of the chip of air.

I have a good case and lots of fans use AS5 paste and good CPU cooler.

I was wondering would a E6700 do 4GHZ? I use MAME emulator a lot a need the speed.

Also what board would you suggest to get this kind of clock and what memory?

My Specs:

E6300 running at 7x430
Gigabyte 965-S3
2x1GB Patriot 5300 memory running 1:1, my memory can hit 930MHZ after that it hits a wall.
Radeon x1900XT
Artic Cooler pro 7
Full midtower with 2 120mm fans.


Thanks

Josh

Get a commando P965 Board or how are the new DFI P965 boards doing

Depends really if you get a good chip or not .. also depends how much voltage you want to give your cpu, with the newer batches lately some have been OCing well some haven't, how is your luck ?

I can sell you a brand new E6600 not opened, I ordered two thinking I would get different batches but turns out they shipped me two of the exact same chip
I have posted my OC's so far above

If you want to run 3.6 400x9 with a 1:1 ratio your ram is fine but if you want to run 4:5 probably a no go considering you mentioned above you cannot reach 1000mhz .. so if you reached 3.6 and wanted to push it further you probably do not have much headroom .. If looking to upgrade your ram find some nice D9 chips from G skill, Team group .. the list go's on

EDIT: ah whoops did not see what ram you had .. yeah maybe upgrade to some DDR800 D9 chips .. my Team Group can do 1000mhz easy with stock volts or less

This is my first c2d build and I am still learning about how to oc this chip and Gigabyte ds3. Sorting thur lots of reading on the forums!! May try tonight to get ot higher . Being on the conservative side for now.

Well there is a lot of good help here on the forum, keep on truckin
