I think thats where your wrong actually.

lol yeah cmon chaps, this has turned into a 'prooving stability' debate. next person to mention it, has to start a thread on it!

My progress on my e6420 , will be trying 3.6Ghz Next

Note: My original method of applying arctic silver 5 was a thin layer all over, I re applied with a thin line down the middle vertical to where the core die is underneath the IHS (as shown in a guide somewhere on this forum) and my temps are a million times better, some 10 degrees lower.

Temps seem nice ( air, ninja B ), next stop 3.g

New Akasa AK-961 heatsink fitted:

tested with orthos for over 8 hours:

Ram timings 4-4-4-12
DDR Overvoltage Control +0.2V
FSB Overvoltage Control +0.1V
(G)MCH Overvoltage Control +0.1V
CPU Voltage Control 1.45000V

All seems to be "Cool And The Gang" atm

Great temps and clocks!

On a not-so-great cooler as well

Cenuij · 24 Jun 2007 at 09:02

3.6, wewt

P35-DQ6 with a Scythe Ninja
2Gb crucial 8500

vCore: 1.5v
vDimm: 2.2v
Nbridge: +0.1v
all other voltages @ stock

Could maybe tighten the memory up further... Next up 3.7 ¬_¬

Cenuij: Nice overclock, what steppping is your cpu ? your setup is pretty much identical to mine, just waiting on rma for my Ballistix 8500`s. Also what bios version you running on the DQ6 ?

Sorry, forgot to check before i slapped on the grease

[edit] I think i found it on the box serial label, if it's marked as 'FPO#' it is L709A557

F4 bios

Were your voltages about the same and was it this CPU you were using when i saw your 3.6 clocks in another post?

Yes, but my stepping requires more vcore than yours, you have a good chip. For a more of a performance boost try 7x500, put your mem divder on 2.00 so your ram runs 1:1 with fsb, also with the ballistix 8500 ram you could tighten timings at a lower vdim (4-4-4-12 v2.1).

A few other pointers:
Play with mem trd levels, default is 13 I think, had mine at 8. Improves ram speed, makes it very nippy.

The F3 bios or F5g has more mem bw and lower super pi times than F4.

I found running 7x515 (3.6ghz) to be faster than 8x450 (3.6Ghz), mem bw increased by 900mb, lower super pi times, gaming much smoother.

For me anyway running at 3.6Ghz at 7x515 required less vcore than at 8x450, not really sure why.

If you discover anything new please share

Cheers for the tips, only up and running since friday evening so this gives me a head start :>

strap?

1333 strap will kick in with memory divider settings pushing the ram or with FSB/CPU clock?

iMacMart · 25 Jun 2007 at 20:39

Are the current OCuK E6420 chips clocking well?

Planning on ordering tonight or tomorrow morning if I get time?

If someone has brought on from them in the last week or so that would be cool to know

Thanks

yo easyrider , got your abit IP35 pro hooked up yet?

got mine on the go, pro's over my asus p5n32
- less volts for the clock, got rock stable 3.2 on stock volts!
- higher achivable clock, suicided at 3.9ghz
- using it at 3.8 no probs now (3.8 was flaky before)
- cut 1/2 a sec off pi time compared with same clock at 3.85ghz chipsets nippy'er

+ no i havnt tried orthos yet

eg:

Mine arrived last week, 'L709A557'

3.6 on air no problem so far, i've got a bunch of work on this week but i'll be going for 3.7 this weekend coming.

I've just recieved an L709A550 chip to go with my Abit IP35 Pro. Put it to 400fsb out the box on stock volts and ran Orthos for 10 hours with no problems so far. Think my memory is gonna limit my overclock tho as I'm running 4 512meg 6400 sticks.

Im not even gonna start this time, I'll let Easyrider deal with you.

Interesting on the mobo though, I should have one of those Abits soon. . .
