The Much Needed EVGA 680i A1 Q6600 O.C thread

[PCTools]

Well, here is my results on the EVGA 680i Motherboard with the B3 Stepping.

I am unable to use the 8X Multiplier over a FSB of 1800. The EVGA board will post the double dash (--) on the diagnostic LEDS. I can get a boot and run in Windows at 3.8Ghz, but it is NOT stable to run 3DMark06 or SuperPi. Aslo, I noticed the Ethernet Ports began to shut down at this high overclock.





It appears to me that my SM2.0 and SM3.0 scores are on the LOW side compared to other systems of this caliber.

Any feedback, on which driver is the best for the 3DMark06 Scores in a WINXP 32 environment?

Also, the Video Cards are OC'd to 650/1050.
