There seems to be a distict lack of Conroe results on the forum so I am posting details of my E6700 that arrived today :)

Having played with the chip all afternoon and evening I have found that my chip is very overclockable, however there is a huge difference between stable and unstable clock speeds.

I can boot into windows and run 1M super Pi as high as 3.8 Ghz (10 x 380). I have managed to run 3d 2001 at 3.6Ghz. I have only achived 100% stability and fully Prime stable at 3.5Ghz. I should point out that I am using silent air cooling in an HTPC case, so cooling is somewhat basic.

Here are my results at 3.5Ghz with RAM at 4:5 ratio (Ram is overclocked too :))

Firstly proof that its Prime stable (I let the test run for 15 Minutes - will do longer later, but the screen shot was taken after 8)

Next, with exactly the same settings and without re-booting, here are some 3D and Super-Pi results... All tests run one after the other, no pause.

I know these results are not the best you will see... partly due to cooling, but they are 100% stable and as far as i know these are the first on the forum that claim to be so.
 
32M Super Pi took
15m 24.334
to complete

Sorry no screen shot as i forgot to expand the window and therefore lost the final result for the screen grab.

Seems your increased mem speed and higher FSB give more performance than the lower L2 cache :)

How stable is 3.5 for you. Can you prime and game ok? I wonder what aspects of the board are getting pushed at 500 FSB

Even so... great result from a 6300 :)

SimonMaltby, So what is the voltage OC you have on your CPU and Memory then?

CPU is set to 1.4625 in bios, reads 1.42 / 1.43 in windows
memory is set to 2.05 in bios reads 2.10 in windows - Thats what is is designed to run at 2.1v 4,5,4,15 - so all set to default, but running at 438Mhz instead of stock which is 400

Hey m8,
Yes its a pretty impressive chip.

I'm not going to mention the S word but suffice to say it doesnt crash and I have been playing Oblivion and Prey without problem.

What program are you using to read voltages??? Cant seem to find a way to read my ram.

Cheers

The Ai-Booster included with the p5W DH shows it. look on the first post you will see it says 2.10v

Update... here is a screen shot of 3.7Ghz Super-Pi. Will Prime for 3 mins then fails and thats at 1.6v Bios, i am not going any higher with my current case and cooling.

I ran 3D 2001 at this speed and got 57626 :) compare http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9020709

nice results there mate, good to see results from a 6700 here :)
and with a nice crossfire setup too ;)

sure you can run your mem @ 4,4,4,10 and see the 01 marks shoot up in the process!

where 03 and 05 :D
