I got my new e6550 up to 3150 Mhz (450x7 with 1:1)
Stable in Orthos 1 Hour

I tried booting at 500x7 but didn't even post. I believe it's the P5N-E Sli mobo that limits the oc because not everybody can get the FSB up to 500 on it.
So max oc for me is sth between 450-499 x 7 but I can surely go higher with another motherboard. NB got 1,563v and cpu is 1,36v (maybe I should up it?)

Temps are ok, using Zalman 9500 to cool it.

I know it may not really be very good for you "xtreme" people but I am new to overclocking (only did a pathetic 212 FSB OC on my 4000+ before). The Rig cost me 600 € and I only intended to oc it to 3 Ghz at first but I am happy with the results.

If you want to give me any tips on what I could do/try for better oc, go ahead ^^


Core Temp and Everest CPUID show the 6550 as 6650
