it arrived yesterday, but I've not had chance to fit it yet. It's going in tonight. Either on the standard cooler or an SI-128.
Ive got an Abit QuadGTboard. Hoping to get a nice clock from it :D

Has anybody else got there's fitted and seen how far they can go?>

iv just gone from an Intel 820 dual core to the E6420

On my QuadGT board, with 2gb of ballastix PC5400,

ive crept it up to 400 x 8 @ 1.5v, DDR2 voltage is 1.95v.

It idles at 24C and seems to go no higher than 35C at full load (using SI-128 cooler with akasa fan).

I need to have a good mess about and find the safe voltages before i push it further., But its getting a similar score in sisoft sandra to the bottom end quad cores!!! well above the e6700 score
 
sorry guys, posted wrong temps, those were atr just above stock speed.

@ 400 x 8, i got 27C at idle, and 45C at full load after running orthos for 25mins.

temps monitored using Abit Guru (new version)

I managed 385 x 8 without upping the core voltage at all, but it wouldnt post at 400 x 8 until i upped the voltage a touch.
