My new E6600, results!

[Kakarot]

**updated for 10 hour pic

This time my proc is retail, just came today (**hugs Ca1n)

So, the only changes I made so far were voltage and cpu freq, disabled ht3 and dram throttling.

Voltage 1.52 I started high and will work down, or up the mhz
Memory 1:1 ddr 800 4-4-4-10 - wouldnt boot with tighter timings :(
cpu freq 400 fsb

= 3.6 running at 60 degrees, dual prime/PI etc

Thoughts or ideas? thanks

Great results! The temp seem a bit high for comfort though, maybe try dropping vcore in small increments to find the lowest voltage the CPU with remain stable at? Also, I would try running stress test for longer period, a 6600 I've tried was stable at 3.6 at 1.5V but would get errors in Orthos after ~8 hours of continuous stress. What are you using for cooling the beast?

what kinda ram you using ?

Well its still running... I usually go 8 - 24 hours ;)
not that I would ever use the pc @ 100% for that long....
I can't change anything until its done benching.

I am using mushkin xp2 pc2 6400

Good luck, you seem to have a nice clocking CPU, hope it goes higher with more experimenting and tweaking BIOS. Your dedication deserves some great overclocking rewards, you started Orthos at 4:39 in the morning :)

nice oc on the 6600....congrats!personally I would work my way up from stock voltage...I figure no use in giving the processor any more than what it needs to top out,but thats my process :) Time to move back to Intel.... haven't had a Intel chip since the Celeron 300A @ 450Mhz days :cheesygri however I'm going to wait and see what Nvidia's motherboards 570 & 590 are going to bring to the conroe party. One thing, orthos is a multithreaded Sp2004 if you only open one instance and run you will find in task manager that both processors are @ 100% so in essence you are running dual dual prime now....should make for a solid oc. Keep up the good work, I'll follow you're progress on xs....now all you need is watercooling or possibly phase :) 4Ghz anyone?

[Kakarot]

hahah, thx. I am so new to all of this, but it sure is fun... for now ;)

gonna add a 7950gx2 tomorrow and play some games

I think the next step is water or phase... I just never wanted to make that jump!

[akito925]

I want to, so tempted to make the jump, but I'll think I'll wait for a bit..

[xwar]

nice scores.

[Kakarot]

Thx, cant wait to add the 7950 today and then bench ;)

Nice oc on the E6600... I just got mine but haven't had the time to put it together yet. What motherboard are you running?

Thx.

[Kakarot]

asus p5w dh deluxe :)

[tdotcbc84]

is 60 degrees to high ?

cuz i got mine @ 400fsb, and under full load its 60 degrees! HOT!

[Kakarot]

thats what mine is under FULL load....

but when do you ever run a pc, under full load for that long of a time.

Normal I would say.
