Do people get 3GHz from their E6600s?

Vogon · 15 Nov 2006 at 23:49

E6600 with Geil PC6400 and EVGA 680i board coming, so you are saying I can run up to 400 fsb on the cpu without taking the ram out of spec and still having it 1:1 ??

Unfortunalty I ordered a little before 4 today, which seems too late for delivery tommorow as it still showing Order Status: Printed in our warehouse

3.6ghz 24/7 E6600 on a P5B under water.

you all managing to overclock to 3ghz on the stock cooler ?

3ghz should be no problem for the stock cooler as you don't need to touch the vcore.

nice one , any straight forward tips on how I go about doing this ?
I'm using an Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard.

I take it it's just a case of going into the bios and altering a multiplier or something ?

I would be p*ssed off if I had an e6600 and it didn't hit 3.6GHz (9x400) with a little extra vCore.

The e4300 I just sold was happy to run 3GHz at stock (1.325v) volts and I'm now slowly working on my e6300, ran it at stock for a couple of days then whacked up the FSB to 400MHz (7x400) and its now running at 2.8GHz, still using stock vCore, will leave it for a few more days (busy busy) then work on getting it up to 3.2GHz (7x457), although I would imagine it needs some more juice.

What's the highest (roughly) an e6600 can reach while running on stock voltage? (Orthos stable of course).

Had a few pass through here, between 3Ghz to 3.4Ghz, i think 3.2Ghz is about right for the majority though. All either dual primed or Orthos.

I actually had to up the vcore slightly to 1.4 ish but my E6600 happily sits @ 3.25. Never tried it any higher but suspect it probably could.

Are you talking about the average max overclock or how high they overclock on stock vCore?

Elrein · 21 Mar 2007 at 20:56

Id say 3GHz easy

I have mine ticking over @ 3GHz and all i did was change the fsb

Stock, don't over volt cpus destined for clients

Are you telling me you don't do that 'or' are you telling me not to do that?

Justintime · 21 Mar 2007 at 22:34

Think about it lol.

Well if your telling me not to over-volt cpu's in machines I sell to clients I say mind your own business!

If you say so, but i think most people would've gotten what i said.

Fr0dders · 21 Mar 2007 at 22:51

my 6600 will do 3ghz on standard vcore with standard intel cooler

your pretty much guaranteed 3ghz on a 6600

Gman · 22 Mar 2007 at 13:23

just trying to get it up to 3ghz using the stock cooler and an asus mobo.

got it running ok by just altering the fsb. HOWEVER if Istress the process for a long time say converting a few avi's to dvd, the asus PC probe is reporting a temp of 65deg C at it's max.

I take it based on the warning it was giving me that 65 isn't good or is this about normal for an overclocked one ?

when I drop at all back down to stock and carry out the same test it's maxing out at 54deg c.

Justintime · 22 Mar 2007 at 13:35

Doubt your chip will just up and die but you may need something better than the stock cooler, does the conversion program stress both cores 100%? if not then your max temp may yet to be attained, try Intel TAT
