I'm a Singaporean-Chinese, orient, chinese whatever you wanna call me - didn't find any of the pikachu/intel joke anywhere racist. Infact, I love the joke!

I'm loving every min I read this - like what someone else have said, we need to Frame this thread or at least Archive it for the future, think of all the children! Perhaps this will make it into one of the few fables...

Amazing how some people seem to try to make themselves out to be "the best" etc :rolleyes:

overclocking used to be bang-for-buck rather than boasting or wasting money :eek:

You talk so much rubbish its unreal.

Omg you've read about ONE person who owns an X6800 who can't get it above 3.466Ghz (apparently, and it could be any number of reasons why) and suddenly Intels latest stepping CPU is crap? At least wait until they're in the public domain en masse before you dismiss it out of hand.

Theres no logical reason whatsoever that Intel would suddenly change wafers or process (because this is the only practical reason an FSB overclock would be so consistently diminished), especially so late in the day. That's the whole point of the ES phase - to iron out bugs, improve the yield and performance, etc... not to take a step backards.

You're worse than The Inquirer - get a little bit of info and suddenly you think you're an authority on everything. Shouldn't you be speaking to your mysterious Intel contact?????

I wouldn't worry Stelly - I'm sure your X6800 will be just as good as the previous steppings with the right memory, mobo and BIOS combo.

(This is the same bloke who offered about 10+ Conroes on XS forum a good month ago, and claimed an unlimited supply, and when pushed suddenly clammed up and acted surprised and frustrated when - God forbid - people actually asked about buying them!? You've got serious delusions of grandeur and self-confidence issues Drazic. :()

DURZEL is absolutely spot on... OC'ing is not an exact science. He is talking perfect sense.

I'm actually benching at 3.6ghz but need to update my sig.
Not convinced 4ghz will be ok on air TBH either

How you finding the DFI board easyrider? Any good? MY friend is on the conroe bandwagon and wants me to build one for him and I've been reading about the ASUS and DFI being the best clockers....any advice from an owner?

The only thing at the moment that I am having trouble with is the G skill.
I am currently using some crucial ballistix that allows me to boot straight in at 3.6ghz 9x400 rock solid stable 1.375v

With the HZ 6400 in I cannot boot past 330 FSB :confused:
I will be spending some time on this issue though and will get to the bottom of it.

I had the badaxe but got rid of it,The bios was pap IMO.And it would act odd in prime etc......

But other than that I like the DFI mobo.
Feels solid :)

The Asus can get higher fsb's but I couldn't be bothered with the faffing of flashing the bios with an old chip that I didn't have to get my conroe to work lol!
