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 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

[importpsycho]

what cooling?

[Silver Bullet]

nice OC' .. welcome to the E6600 club (we're the first members )

[pestilenc]

If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for your 6600 and where did you get it?

[Kakarot]

400

sorry for slow responses

[cmge]

i wonder what gocchin's been upto...

cant wait to c your benchies with the 7950... ...
