I've been posting too much, but I've been having too much fun overclocking on this board.
Final daily setup:
IP35 Pro
E6850 @ 400x9=3600mhz @ 1.35v
Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB PC6400 @ 4:5 DDR2-1000 = 500 5-5-5-15-30-3-3-3-3-2T @ 2.0v
Case is an NZXT Zero, heatsink is an Enzotech Ultra-X with AC MX-1 compound. Testing was done at full fan speed. PSU used is a Corsair 620HX. Temperatures are ~35c at idle and ~58c under full load for the CPU. PWM reaches only ~50-52c thanks to Ace's mod. The room is fairly warm, ~75-76F.
All other board voltages stock. I bumped the MCH from 1.25 to 1.29 but I'm not sure its really needed, I may put it back. Runs clean through Orthos, OCCT, and dual memtest (768mb each) with zero errors.
C1E and EIST are enabled, so I get 2400mhz @ 1.18v at idle and 3600mhz @ 1.35v under load. Works without a hitch. This works real nicely with a higher multi chip. My E6550 only has 6 and 7, so you don't see a huge benefit from only dropping 1x.
Got some nice round daily numbers out of this one
I messed around in Windows with 4Ghz but wasn't able to get it stable even up to 1.45v for some reason. Maybe when I get more time I'll try again, but for now I'm happy with this setup. It would be time to game, but I don't have a sound card yet. I have a bit of downtime between my Audigy 2 and the new Prelude. Should have enough muscle to last me a while.
