does the 6600 overclock better than the 6700?

both seem to overclock very well, but dont know if it's worth the extra 200€ for the €6700. i am very happy with my €6600.

i have just been told that the chips are going to have a major price drop in the next couple of weeks to make way for the quads........

That should be fun

really? Gibbo said in the quad core thread that only the X6800 prices will be effected the initial quad core release.

very true, these prices will be approx 600$
but you can't sell a €6700 at the same price as a x6800, no sense in that....a drop on all the chips is more likely.

Nice overclock dude. Shame it dont count!

I think prime should be 8hrs min, although I dont settle for for anything less than 12hrs to be classed 'prime stable'.

the drops on the other chips could only be small.

I don’t think his intention was to count this as an overclock, it was more a reply to me on a different issue.....

But his stable clock is something to aspire to.. nº1 overclocked 6600 on here and other forums too nice work Divious

oh, as the mobo has got the shitties chipset heat sink cooler i have ever seen, i have taken off the fancy covers and replaced them with a big 120mm fan., ,, now getting a cool 40ºc on the mobo, (previously 65ºc)

Thanks dude, shame I dont have that mobo anymore I would have tried 1.6v.

 

[nickinmarbella]

do you think the chip will take 1.6volts?
hightest so far for me is 1.525volts.. i think i would get the crappers if i went any higher..lol

 

[nickinmarbella]

the drops on the other chips could only be small.

who knows?

Im sure it would be ok for a prime run though i doubt id run it 24/7.

who knows?

I think it will only be very small. If the Kentsfields are around £700 then I think the x6800 which they are stopping making will drop to about £500-£550 until it phases out. I cant see it affecting the lower range much.

thanks for the nfo....

don't think i'll be doing 1.6v, no with this chip,, it seems to be a good one.. i'll post mi bios when i get a moment.. see if you would change anything... but i'll post on ***The Official Conroe Overclocking Thread *** more for the chit chat

m8 your right and i am not.....
see this..,. what next lol

You should have stopped it after 12 hours and got it on the list lol

 

[w3bbo]

Ive been running 1.6v 24/7 with some 1.65 benchies in betwen for the past 4 weeks. Not had any problems (rubs some wood vigorously). Still can't get orthos stable over 4 hours at 3.8 though

think this mobo is topped out.........or i am doing sommert wronge.

maddness recomended the water cooler, and it great, gave mi chip another boost of life,,
