E6*50 overclocking

@ Angelboy and Linwig

Thanks, thing is i have to go for what will be the best in the future as i cant aford to buy a new CPU every 6 months to a year. Therefore i feel quad core will be the best idea as games should eventually be quad core and therefore will have a performance boost over a duel core one would imagine.
 
A couple of quick points:

A CPU that is cooler than the surrounding ambient temperature simply isn't possible. It defies the laws of physics.

Running chips at frequencies that are only stable long enough for a SuperPI run or 2 mins of ORTHOS (lol) is a bit pointless really, isn't it?

Not trolling, but surely we should all be aiming for useable frequencies. I can run my C2D at 4.5Ghz+ for all the good it will do given it will only last minutes at that speed.

30mins of orthos is a lot longer than 2min, also Clone is running 4ghz wich has passed 4 hours+ orthos-age. An 8 hour run would be awesome ofc ;)

its not going to be a simple case of whack the fsb to 445 and bang! 4ghz good to go, theres other things that need to be adressed to get it stable.

i had difficulty at first even getting to the windows boot logo at 4g's going from that to 4gs pie and 30min orthos is a big step forwards - and im still convinced its my board rather than the chip - but maybe there is something else i can finetune... otherwise i might have to settle for 3.9 ect

aiming for a stable clock is my ultimate goal ofc but its an on going process to find outexactly what the max stable is. No-one here is spouting 4ghz stable!!!! but rather just shareing our experiances *so far*.

these chips are new and were still finding out what they are truly capable of.

:cool:
 
Running mine @ 4.1ghz now can run Aquamark,3dmark 05/06 and play my game with no problems.

Newer driver from the EVGA Site.

I know the cpu temp is way out but my pc runs ok and that`s what i wanted.

These new chips do look tempting, but with an e6600 rock solid at 3.6, I wonder what benefits I'd get from an e6850 at 4.0 or even a q6600 at 3.6 (possibly).

I think that I may just wait for the 45nm refresh, then go for a quad. By that time there may be games that can use all 4 cores (Alan Wake, when it is finally released!)

Now if the rumours are true about the new 9800GTX being 2 x performance of the 8800GTX, then that would be something that would show real benefits, and would be money better spent :D

edit : clone, when I click on your 06 link, it just shows me my score.

anyone done the 6750s yet ?
got straight to 3.6 stable on stock everything waiting for new cooler to arrive gone for the tuniq.
got the abit in9 32x max board

not seen anyhing about yet with this cpu anyone else ?

Seems there are some poor clockers out there.
 
Perhaps like they say - lots of speed binning going on with the new revisions. Seems the 6850s are very good but the others are on a par with the current e6600's. I'm wondering now whether its worth the search for a quad G0 steeping.
 
so far they don't look to clock much better than the good B2's like mine.

i'm very reluctant to let mine go just yet ;) unless the Quad GO's are an easy 3.6+
 
Just installed my shinny new e6850, went straight to 3.6 on stock volts :)
just one prob none of my temp monitoring software seems to give the correct reading :(
I was hoping some one could tell me what i should be using to check temps on this chip?????????????

Coretemp and Intel TAT



They are somewhere in that list. :)
