me, but i am having weird issues with my system.. not sure if it is software or hardware related yet. swapped out a E4300 to a Q6600 (G0) using existing acronis true images of an almost initial vista install. It installed the cpu drivers, ect... but for whatever reason i get random mem dumps (see memory issues in vista now after swapping in quad core).. even after priming stablily (i think i just made up that word :P) for 8+ hours. will try fresh install i guess.

what about OC??? max FSB???

what about OC??? max FSB???

well i know the cpu was stable at 3.2ghz, cause i primed it for 8+ hours with no issues.. until i starting clicking stuff with my mouse and scrolling web pages - then i get random mem dumps (can't super pi at 8M or above - so my memory is unstable for whatever reasons. passes memtest in dos, all tests, 2+ loops.. so i will start with a fresh opsys install soon as i get a chance)

i've booted into vista at 3.6hz.. but fails prime right away.

max fsb - i've never been able to get over 400mhz, but that was with my e4300 which seemed to hit a wall at 3.2ghz.. and i've never been able to run my memory at it's rated speed yet.. only 800mhz.. so lets just say i have a lot of playing around to do.. or possibly buying a new motherboard.

I got a L724A760 and plan on putting it in my DFI Dark. I have seen another user so far with the same combo(not same batch) and his max was 3.2ghz. I'm not sure whether i should leave it in the box or not. I'm gonna hold off till the weekend before i put it in. I want to see more results of the same batch code.

I got a L724A784 and dark 965 not S, now priming at 3550 with 1.4 actual vcore in vista..

did ya up volts a lil?

[Diverge]

did ya up volts a lil?

yep, i went up to like 1.48 volts to see if it stabilized.. no good. i didn't really bother to monitore temps, just used coretemp and used the mode where it goes down the the throttling point.. i was like 10° from 0 (the throttle point).

i really need to get my system stable at stock speeds first.. cause something is weird with it.
