L737A823 Boxed on 10/17/07

Will be pairing it with a DFI Blood Iron, some Transcend AxeRam, and an Ultra 120 Extreme.

I'll be setting it up tomorrow and we'll see how it goes!

New water setup and a new Q6600.

FPO# L737B186 PACK DATE 10/23/07






Only been going just over an hour but nice temps and all cores are very similar. Looks promising

These L737's look like winners.

One good thing included in the Tom's Hardware article are benchmarks at different clock speeds. On this thread, all I see are CPU clock numbers. No performance measurements.

Thats because it is an overclocking thread not a performance thread. There are a lot of performance threads around the time a new cpu is released.

I don't see the difference between CPU OC and CPU performance information.
Just to clock a CPU w/o a measurement of benefit is incomplete. What if the CPU Clock increase decreases or has no performance gain. That information is not important for a CPU OC thread?

That is why benchmarks are always included in an OC article. To find a CPU OC that is justified, you need to look at all parameters. There is more to CPU overclocking than lapping.

I agree, performance is important, no point overclocking past the point of diminishing returns. But in previous threads it has been shown that with performance has always increased with higher clocks (except gpu limited games) so people want to clock as high as they can as long as it is stable.

This thread gives info to people about what batches are clocking well and which are not, people obviously want to know this info or this thread wouldn't be 61 pages long.
