Crucial Anniversary: The results

The 965 boards are suited to lower multi chips as they'll hit much higher FSB.
Above 400 FSB they're a little slower than the 975's due to looser chipset timings (aka 1333 strap). E6600's seem on average to run ~ 3.6ghz 24/7 stable which is 400 FSB assuming you use the stock multi. It may have made sense to either plump for a lower mutli chip and use the high FSB the P5B's capable of, or go for a 975 board which will max FSB wise around where your 6600 will.
Memory wise, all it means is you'll be forced into a divider to get the max out of your memory.
 
Yeah i did think about this but wanted the extra cache the e6600 has, just means i dont have to run the fsb so high in order to achieve my oc, so will be staying at or below 400 fsb anyway.
 
Well i can swap the board for a p5w as this seems worthwhile after checking some clock for clock comparisons, thanks for the heads up :)

oh and will this ram still pair well?

Voltage there was ~ 2.18 or so. Well within safe 24/7 limits

Also have a Pi 1m shot @ 534 FSB. Voltage was around 2.2, haven't done any stability testing here as CPU's on the edge temps wise. Dropping mutli pushes the NBCC clock over 600 mhz and something craps out. Better cooling is en-route, so should have a definitive answer soon.

Wow. Im thinking of buying this stuff even if dont even have a C2D system, yet. This should hold its value very well seeing as it performs like mad and is limited edition.

see what others manage to get outta the ram too :)

Ah It's gonna be a week or so before I can build my new system and play with this Crucial 10th special memory, but lOOking at the results on gOOgle it seems to be doing the business!

That's at 2.5V and Memtest stable, strange stuff, there's no sweet spot when it comes to voltage, bump up the RAM speed a notch and it won't be stable until I drop the timings and voltage.

Edit: Getting similar results to OC_A64 at 600MHz, can get it Memtest stable at 575MHz but at 600 it craps out and I can't figure out what it is.

That's as far as the 1T goodness will go :( .

Bit of tweaking the other timings might see that over the 8GB/s mark but still a long way short of AM2 onchip memory controller goodness.

What voltage mate?
