Thought this deserved a new thread and Priming !

I'm running out of time now. But its lashed on my bench at work.

Specs

DS4 Mobo
Retail OEM 6300 Bought from OcUK
Crappy £7 Akasa heatsink
G Skill 2 GB HZ Kit Micron Memory
Seasonic 500W PSU

I have overvoltage the chipset by .1 volt but the CPU is at stock. Mem divider is in min with 475 on the FSB. Chipset is Toasty.

Will try and go further tried at 500 FSB and it got into windows but BSOD. Might need some more volts me thinks :D

This is on AIR and the thing is still priming after 15 mins

Its an OEM cpu.

He means a retail component, as in, "it can be bought from a retail store" and not an engineering sample that might've been cherry picked.

Remember guys there are very few instances of people overclocking a conroe that has been bought "over the counter". Most if not all instances of clocking have come from engineering samples that may or may not be typical of what will be available to buy.

My only question would be which is better, the Gigabyte DS3 OR DS4. These are the boards that are seeing the highest clocks.

The more expensive ASUS P5W is really getting comprehensively beaten.

what sort of temps are you getting from the northbridge? I've already heard of people blowing their gigabyte mobo's from running prime for 4+hours :(

seems a good overclock for air cooling tho :)

Must say its been a while since I have ever wanted to bother OC. These new Core2 chips are amazing. Default voltage under air for about £115 + vat. Wow

Running out of time but its still priming. I will be getting it running in my water cooled rig later, so more to come. I might be running into memory limits pretty soon though.

highest I've seen on a OEM chip (rev B6 step 4) is 3.5Ghz on water. CAS4 memory timings at 1:1 aswell :). I guess possibly hitting on the memory limit before the cpu is maxxed out :confused: shame the multi is locked.

Don't think I've seen anyone pass 500fsb yet tho :(

I have maxed out the FSB at 480 =3360.05 MHz. This is running

0.1 Over on Dim
0.1 Over on GMCH
0.1 Over on FSB

CPU @ Default

CPU under prime load under a crappy Akasa £7 Heatsink is 55'c

Better do some work. Enjoy!
