Core 2 Duo 6600

I cant see any P5B deluxe in that picture? I have just ordered that with a e6300 is this a bad choice for getting some mad clocks? I at least want to get 3Ghz, ive got some XMS2-6400 corsair that will go to 1ghz i'm told.

Is this going to be a problem? Should i get a 6400 or something higher or a diff motherboard?

Looking at that table the 6300's are very good overclockers with the right board i.e. Gigabyte DS3/DS4 or Asus P5W

Doesn't mean the P5B isn't any good just good be that the P5W is just more popular esp. with the overclocking community.

May I ask why you went for the P5B over the P5W?

Everyone told me the Allendales were better with the P5B and the Conroes are better with the P5W?

P5B's are as good as the DS3/4's with some hitting 500+ fsb. It's a good choice for a e6300. P5W's are best for e6600+

Tell me if e6300's are hitting high speeds the benefit of going for an e6400, e6600 or more?

Does anyone know when the E6600 may come down in cost.

Just put my new rig together, straight in at 3.6ghz, just curious to know what this Geil Ram can do

My Chip seems to be week 29, bought from OCUK this very week!!

Also how do i read this?

Cores seem ok, but what is the tjunction!? It looks rather hot

That's a nice OC! By the sounds of it our rigs are pretty similar, my 6600 is a Week 29 also. Have you upped the vcore voltage at all?

Also, my coretemp says Tjunction 85 degrees. Although my core temps are 39/40 and that's back at stock settings.

 

[trojan698]

I think thats the max temp the cpu can take? It's @ 85 degrees for everyone

The 6300 & 6400 have a 2MB Level2 Cache whereas the 6600 has a 4MB Level2 Cache.

The extra 2mb cache on the 6600 can give upto 10% increase in performance in some applications but usually much lower.

Quote from Anandtech:
The E6300 and E6400 can easily overclock to E6700 and Core 2 Extreme X6800 levels, though the smaller cache does limit performance a bit.
