I dont think the chip is breaking sweat, its only the FSB limits holding the E6300's back.

So did I waste my money on a x6800 then??

I have got to stress the testing I did was a quick play at work for 1 hour. Just a case of Crank up the FSB and see what happens. I had it booting in windows at 500 Mhz but it was not stable which I think is down to the memory. I just need to knock the CAS back. I'm sure this chip will do much better with a bit of water and TLC

Yes M8

 

[The Asgard]

I have another DS4 here and I'm going to see if this board performs any better/worse than my current one. Should be Interesting.

well it depends, dont forget you have the open multiplier
which is nice to play with. But no way id get a x6800 though lol

Who mentioned 3.6 Ghz, your getting confused my friend. Must be spending all that money on that expensive processor of yours.

Read the post again...kingnothing mentioned it not me.

And please read the post in full next time before you make comments.I dont have an extreme edition cpu.I have a E6600.

3.6 might not be possible on default volts but I bet its possible with some tweaking.

£114 + Vat. Here's smiling at you Easy

Sorry but you are trying to sound funny but I dont have a EE 6800 I have a E6600 the slowest cpu in the conroe range with the full 4mb cache.

So heres smiling at you Asgardy for not reading a thread trying to be funny and getting all your facts wrong.

LMAO

There just aint no way that a 6300 will do 3.6ghz on stock volts LMAO!

depends on his definition of expensive

best for phase really, on air I think you can get too close with the lower and cheaper models.


I have a E6600 stepping 5 B1 es, stuck at 375 fsb running Crossfire and Raid 0 on DFI 975XG (some guys can get 400, but most boards are stuck @ 375) . To be really honest, I think the E6700 rules for 24/7 air, the 10X multi really helps out. Many board are picky at around 400fsb+, the 10X multi gives the room required to get around this.

not worth the extra money imo

Ah well its something unique, everyone is going to have an E6600 so I guess I'm going to have to look on the bright side of things

I dont think the 6700 is worth it either tbh

 

[Devious]

Id love to have my chip with your unlocked multi's stelly

i wouldnt go back to a locked multiplier, every day or so im changing the multiplier and settings. I even tried 6 x 400 lol

if i had to chose between the 6600 or a 6700 though id take the latter,
9 doesnt seem right anymore

The 10x multi is good if you are pap at maths lmao

see, another reason to get a 6700

Us X6800'ers have to stick together! E6600 pfft

 

[jimbonkers]

looks like your in the same boat as me then, I'm gonna try for another week then I think I may sell the X6800 and go for a 6600 or less as they seem to be doing a lot better .

Put your voltage upto 1.47-1.5

In effect the E6600 does represent better value for money. My comment above was aimed at those hoping to hit around 3.7ghz (on air) for everyday use. The fsb strain on the motherboards is too great atm, anything over 400fsb is too random, other conditions come into play too (the very best clocking boards do not run Crossfire atm, most have a single PCIEX16 and a PCIE X4), the Asus boards can clock well, but that too is random.

In all other cases the E6600 is better value.

I agree
