Wow!
3.7+GHz suicide shot. . .
Sorry dude, but that upload is pointless. This ain't xtreamesystems forums you know
Get yourself a 8hr prime session uploaded instead.

Sorry m8 but until you upload at least a 8hr prime shot, you wont get any respect for stability around here.

lol maybe not your respect, not that its wanted.
I was purley uploading my pi shot which i used in my other forum to give other e6420 users an idea for whats obtainable , stable or not.
can you do a, so called, suicide shot of S-pi 1M at 3.8??? er nah. then my screeny does have some point, its doin what yours cant maybe??? It aint a competition for me bro. I just dable and share my results. dont like it? ah well
i did have a quick look for orthos, but i used yahoo so there ya go, didnt put hours into it, lol. got it now

It's not my respect your earning, but I think I talk for most people that are serious about overclocking. For your information yes I can do a suicide 1mb super pi @3.8 but whats the point?
Personally I would not embarrass myself with such an upload as its pointless in this thread. This thread is all about how far one can obtain a STABLE overclock on their 6320/6420 to give other users a real idea of whats achievable.
Right lets get back to what this thread was intended for. . .

LOL o dear, embarrassing? its a hobby not my life. Like 8 hours of orthos is required to prove stability? If i can encode a movie, have crap loads of stuff open and play CSS at the same time its stable enough for me and any 1 else. If its you just not believing it, then whatever.
+ note its a e6320/e6420 OVERCLOCKING thread, wheres the MUST BE ORTHOS 8 HOURS in that? just sharing the OCin experiance, so you dont need to act cocky with every none orthos screeny saying it means nothing. Peace.
but yeah ok back to the OCin talk

Yes it is on these forums, min 8hrs. Dont just take my word on it, im sure people like Easyrider and other members will back this one up.
It's post like yours that mislead other members on here and ruin a decent thread.

Got my E6420 running at 2.66 on stock cooler, tried it at 3.2 but temps looked too high to risk, although i did get a nice little speed boost.
60c+ in Coretemp and TAT and Gigabyte Easytune displayed approx 10c lower. Probably get an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Cooler a.s.a.p.
Which progamme is right?
Whats a safe maximum temp to let these run at?
E6420
Gigabyte GA P35 DS3R
GeIL 2GB PC6400C4 800MHz
OCZ StealthXStream 600w

your still goin on about it bro?
i would possibly be misleading people if i said it was 8hr orthos stable when it wasnt. Why dont you make a 8hrs stable e6320/e6420 overclocking thread? not everybody feels so strongly about proving stability in abnormally stressful tests.note: doing a quick tally of orthos 8hrs stable post VS none orthos posts on just pg9 n 10 of this forum there are 1/2 as many with orthos around 8hrs or above (4 to 8). so with your unseen back up from easyrider and 'other members' id say the majority dont give a damn lol
M8, the post above this include a measly 19 min orthos! arnt you going to inform him to blow his brains in for providing such a pointless post?
but seriously i prefer people obtaining clocks and sharing there point of view on its stability. The posts should trigger comments like 'ah what vcore is that on?' not 'shuv it, it aint orthos stable for a month!' (not a quote
)

Make sure you don't add any volts to that Geil ram. It hates overvolting on our boards. Set the ram multi to 2.0.
Infact don't over volt anything. leave it as-is until you find the highest 100% clock on stock volts.
Also make sure you set the rams timings manually in the bois 4 4 4 12. If you get say 3GHz stock volts 100% stable and you wanna go higher, you could relax the timings back.
My 6420 does 3.2 on stock volts easily. I'm thinking about going higher but in all honesty i might just leave it at 3.2 as the temps are pretty good.

After much deliberation and changes of mind I`m going for the e6420 because it seems they are all on the same stepping at the moment (I think) so the majority of them should be able to achieve a very good overclock eg 3ghz+ it seems the only thing you need to worry about is the heat as they get hot at 3ghz on stock cooling.
The other CPU I nearly went for was the e4300 but it seems there are good steppings and bad steppings and the early ones were generally better. Thats not to say you can't get an e4300 now that will do 3ghz its just harder with an e4300 then a e6420 IMO becuase e4300 generate even more heat as they require more volts to get 3ghz stable and there are many reports of people not getting more then 2.7ghz out of them saying the e6300 or e6400 they had was easier to overclock requiring less volts.
So I figured for £ 33 more it was worth it for the extra cache and the increased likelyhood of getting 3ghz... the most I was expecting out of an e4300 is 2.66ghz @ 333x8 but some reports saying Gigabyte boards don't o/c them well or they couldn't get it higher then 320 (with the 9x multi I presume) then others say they got 3ghz @ stock. So there appears to be a difference between chips which is less noticeable with the e6420 at present.
What a lot of them don't say is whether it was orthos 8 hours stable which is a number 1 priority for me but I don't mind shelling out for an aftermarket to keep 3ghz cool if it looks a bit hot with stock cooling.
