Dang all you guys are getting great overclocks on your e6420's.

I'm stuck at 3.4GHz with 1.44vcore with vdroop mod on my p5n-e sli board (fsb 425MHz).

I'm doing this with 4GB of ram (OCZ Titanium PC6400 @ 5-5-5-15, 2T, 2.1v) @ 1020MHz.

Having a hell of a time trying to get my Ultra-120 properly seated on my cpu.

I can get it on just fine and it makes good contact, but it's just getting the dang thing on without moving it around too much so the thermal paste stays nicely spread out.

When I remove it to check for contact I see a lot of the thermal paste is not evenly spread out and has bald spots where it's just bare heatsink and cpu contacting without thermal paste.

Tried spreading out the thermal paste today and making contact the old way instead of using the Thermalright way of putting a thin line down the middle of the cpu.

I will report back with temps.

I'm hitting 58 celsius at peak load with orthos priority 9 and small ftts to stress the cpu.

Ambient is pretty warm I might add, but I wish I had four hands so I could hold the heatsink steady with two and screw in two bolts at once to balance things out without disturbing the thermal paste upon installation.

*sigh*

Anyways, I will report back after some more temperature and stress testing.

Going to try for 3.6GHz.

Cheers,
Mike
