E6*50 overclocking

Devious · 13 Jul 2007 at 12:21

whats the highest FSB the chip can take, i.e try a x6 multi and go mad with the FSB

Ah i see.

What about them graphs if they are realistic the diffrence between 3GHZ and 4GHZ is pretty worthless to be honest?

got to think about the future though

whats the diference between 60fps and 80? not really that much

but when the newer software comes out..

whats the difference between 20fps and 40?

quite a lot

i wasent planning on upgradeing anytime soon after i got a C2D setup, but the 6320 chip just wasent what i was hoping.

after the 6850 i'll probably keep it for a while, im hoping to break 4G with it stable and then probably wont upgrade for maybe a year-ish.

Can I ask why?

My cpu has just turned up GO stepping SLA9U

Leak testing my new build so i`ll get it in asap.

I will be interested to know from those that are upgrading from E6600 and similar if they think the upgrade has REALLY made much difference in performance and if the machine feels any faster. I am personally leaning towards skipping this upgrade and waiting for Penrynn, but your thoughts will make for interesting reading.

Now i KNOW my temps are out.. showing 24/17 idle and the room temp is 23 so i think it may be 10 out or so- hope it gets fixed soon.

khemist · 13 Jul 2007 at 21:37

I say the temps are 64 not 54.

V|per · 13 Jul 2007 at 21:52

c'mon clone.... i want results

If you hit 4ghz stable with ease, then that's me settled on this instead of a quad...

khemist · 13 Jul 2007 at 22:27

I reckon he will with wc no problems.

whats your email and i'll let you know? - oh they are out of stock now...nvm.
I ordered two, one with economy shipping by mistake as i was in such a rush because they only had 5 in stock so i had to cancel that one and order this.
Will let you know if i find any others.

"Snip"
1.52v temps seem really low... hope they are not being misread also i am having trouble running orthos, most of the time it is running fine and gives no error but just restarts the pc, never happened before with other cpus.

Can you post a screen shot with TAT running both cpu cores under 100% load please...

Weird that OCUK doesn't have them yet but elsewhere does (unless it's from abroad I guess)

OcUK are probabilly sticking to the NDA. Where as the other UK shops that are selling them are not.

clone · 14 Jul 2007 at 16:55

Cant say m8 as it`s from another shop.

Just not had time yet to fire the rig up yet,been working today and im fit to drop.

Angleboy · 14 Jul 2007 at 19:02

clone, i'll be very interested in how your 680i board copes clocking the chip.

atm ive had a lot of difficulty pushing past 3.6 stable - wich is orthos stable, but games can crash it in seconds :confused:

- ram is at stock too

my board's a P5N32-e Sli

khemist · 14 Jul 2007 at 19:18

Mine seems to be stable at 3.87 9x430 1.54v 4-4-4-12 - just have to give it a longer orthos run later, seems fine in games also.
