Hi there

Truly amazing. So that E6600 is pushing 3GHz in a cheap crappy motherboard at stock voltage air cooled?

I can see these things hitting 4GHz easily in decent boards with good air cooling and H20 setups.

I suspect before long we might see some 5GHz freon cooled rigs?

I am glad that Mr Intel is gonna look after us on this one but I think they have realised when it comes to gamers and overclockers they need to look after OcUK if they want to win that audience. So its all looking good and OcUK will be rewarded the most allocation in the UK, plus the fact OcUK is the first and only company to put orders in with Intel and all its distributors first helps a lot too.

Don't forget the Bad Axe boards Gibbo!!!

We'll just keep harassing you until you do

1.6% improvement, we were told above that memory timings didn't help Core 2 duo much...

Gibbo, can you get hold of G.Skill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ DDR2 RAM? Must be the new batch with serial number starting with 0605/0606. They can overclock to 560MHz :eek:

and cost around £180 inc vat. Perfect for Conroe rigs.

How about this:-
F2-6400PHU2-2GBNR

??

Is that the stuff you want? If so I can offer it you approx £50 cheaper than you say above^^^^^^^^

Sorry mate, not them ones.

It's this one:
http://www.gskill.com/en/f2-6400phu2-hz.html

But avoid serial number starting with 0603 or 0604. It's the new ones (0605 or 0606) that are the best ones for overclocking.

Have a look in the Product Suggestion section for my thread.

Conroe Extreme Edition has a 1333MHz Bus and is suppose to run cooler then normal Conroe so you can clock it more

Thats all I know
