Easy's C2D 6400 Clock

easyrider · 15 Apr 2007 at 00:41

OK a few people on the forum questioned my C2D overclock saying my 3.8ghz was never proved.

I do this now.

From stock 2.13ghz to 3.8ghz orthos stable.Temps are nice too.

w3bbo and WJA96

This is for you, But all, please feel free to comment on my overclock.

I will leave it untill the morning for 12 hrs validation.

Nice I wish I could get my e6300 past 2.8

Nice easyrider.

Shouldnt this be in the overclocking section though?

Sipha · 15 Apr 2007 at 01:29

Nice 1 Easy,

What cooling are you using for this ?

*A bunch of overclockers struggle to read the screenies!

Easy, can't you take a decent screenie yet? cmon guy you've got half your desktop showing needlessly in the pics, change your res to 1024x768, arrange your windows a bit, then throw the screenshot through photoshop and reduce the width to 750 pixels

Also get an e6420 and see if you can get it to match that e6400! :eek:

Nice clock, is that with phase then or have you not pushed that?

No mate,

Start the phase on monday,

This is water mate,

I wonder what this little wonder does on Phase

It should be nice to say the least...

Do you reckon it's at its limits or you can get more out of it?

I'm leaving it running now until morning (types from laptop) then I may try 4ghz.

Im certainly not worried by temps.As you can see 61c full load

richjs · 15 Apr 2007 at 01:47

Yeh, I don't like Speedfan though, when I used it the temperatures were like 20degrees off TAT + Coretemp.

GL with 4ghz

Tat just for you 6c out.

This is stable as a rock posting this now from main PC.

fen739 you got me out of bed!

This thread should have really been called:

Easy's C2D 6420 Clock

that would have been really interesting!

Of course,

This is just for the doubting thomas's out there.

But TBH I don't see many 3.8ghz clocks on 6400 about.So I'm sharing.

4ghz on a 6600 is not that impressive now given the multi and stock speed.

Wayne if your not interested then don't post mate.

But thanks for doing so anyway.

Skeptical about TAT, same E6600 cpu i had bouncing about 4 boards, XBX, XBX2 and 2 DS3s showed different temps with as much as 15C difference with the same sink/fan, no case used and the 2 DS3s were same rev.

Agreed speedfan seems to ,well what can I say, just work

richjs · 15 Apr 2007 at 02:29

Don't know about which one's truer, I just use TAT + Coretemp because they agree, and are always higher temp, so I'm less likely to break something.

Go back to sleep silly!

Dunno either, though i thought it read from the cpu itself.. if its not influenced by the mobo then i don't see why the big differences between different boards, before anyone says it, yes i made sure i had thermal compound and the sink was making good contact

vcore as read was about the same give or take, nothing to make a 15c diff though.

I am interested, I'm just not 'really' interested. I thought e6400's are good for 3.6GHz, my mates just got one and he is up to 3.2GHz stock vCore (orthos 12 hour stable) but I'm not sure how much vCore they need to hit 3.6GHz.

In hindsight I should have bought an e6400 because even though the ASUS P5B-Deluxe is a great board its gonna take some work to get it running an e6300 @ 3.6GHz (514MHz-FSB :eek:

).

I am now running my board at 450MHz-FSB, got my Crucial special 10th running at 450MHz 5-5-5-15 (1.8vDimm) so the next stage for me is to start tightening the memory, I know it can do 400MHz-FSB 3-3-3-6 but not sure how it will handle 450MHz with tight timings

An e6400 @ 3.6GHz with 3-3-3-6 would be spiffing but now I have seen e6600's creeping towards the £150 mark, the 9x multi and a system capable of running 400-450MHz is quite interesting 3.6GHz-4GHz, the same overclock you were working on many months ago in fact.

3.6GHz ~ 4MB Cache ~ 3-3-3-6 is what I want (not need) at the moment, the question is which chip is it gonna be? the e6420, the e6600 or just ignore the extra 2Mb cache and grab a Conroe e6400 classic and be done with it

Having just typed that I think its gonna have to be an e6600 for £150, tick tock . . . . .

[edit] or an e6400 classic for £100

13 hrs orthos stable for you.Still going
