POST YOUR E6850 with OC PERFORMANCE

[JargonGR]

This is proof of what getting carried away means. Many of us upgraded to this new CPU thinking it would make a difference but it really was not worth it especiall for users like me that already had an E6600 @ 3.6Ghz 450FSB 1066 strap. I am now running 4Ghz @ 1333 strap and really it is just bragging rigths. Ofc Orthos does not run more than 2-3 hours stable but games play fine which is the main use of this PC.

I will probably sell my older CPU or this one since it was ultimately a waste to get it now. Instead I bougth myself new a pair of new KEF IQ9 speakers a a 300Watt RMS 12" KEF SUBWOOFER (piano Black) and a new KEF IQ6 CENTRAL Speaker to ease the dissapointment and stop myself from buying a not needed Q6850 with a new motherboard.

My 2 cents (Euro ones)

I CONCUR.

I have a gem of an e6600 Batch L629F (arguably the best OCing batch)

My e6850 batch 18a, seems volt hungry. Experimenting with AUTO voltage on a Striker Extreme, had it sucking 1.52 on 3.8ghz. I have to go manual voltage to 1.55v@3.85ghz to get through 3dmark01, 03, 05, 06 benches.

Trying anything over 3.85 would crash my system.

I agree 100%, I have a E6600 L630F that was running 3825 stable folding 24/7 with 1.55 volts..

My E6850 L722A. Stable at 4000mhz but thats all. Takes pretty high voltage to achieve stability. 1.675 in bios, 1.63 in windows, 1.61 loaded. First screen shot was at 1.65 in bios but failed orthos after a couple of hours. Had to up voltage to 1.675 for 8 hour orthos stability. Temps are under 60c loaded even at 1.675v.
Cooling with water. Since this CPU was so inexpensive, I am going to run at these voltages 24-7, since temps are reasonable.

I picked up a L723A today. So far it's much better than my L722A. Priming now at 4103mhz with 1.625v. My L722A above took 1.675 for 4000mhz. Tested the L723A at 4000 with 1.6v for an hour with no issues. Testing in progress, I will post more results when finished.

Edit: 4103 @1.625v failed orthos after an hour. Now back to 4000 @ 1.575 bios. 1.54 windows, 1.50 after droop. Coretemp 25c Idle, 50c loaded. After 3 x6800's. 10-12 E6600's, Looks like my 24/7 4gz goal may come true.
