***The Official Conroe Overclocking Thread ***

[Explicit]

G.Skill 2GB DDR2 HZ PC2-6400 cause I heard it does over 1ghz in speed

Have you got any benchies to compare to your Opty 170? That would be really nice

 

[easyrider]

my opty 170 at 2.8ghz did super PI 32mb in 26 mins.

My conroe does the same in 16mins at 3.1ghz

Some great results so far. I'm going to get mine in August/September time hopefully

 

[Devious]

primed over 8 hours @ 3.4 Ghz @ stock volts



Super PI, Running at 3.5 Ghz now, still on default vcore.

Absolutely awesome! I'm going to have to have one!

Nice Super pi times Devious, its easy to see how Coolaler managed to get sub 10 secs on 1M with 5Ghz+

How far would people recommend going on air with the E6600? Using the Scythe Ninja Plus?

Stock volts!!! You'd never see an Athlon 64 overclock 1.1GHz on stock volts.

Drool

Yeah not fair! I want contacts so I can get hardware early! Oh well good things come to those who wait... but it doesnt apply to Devious, easyrider and <madness>

Keep it coming though!

 

[Devious]

[Kesnel]

Looking nice guys, look forward to more.

you 2 must have made a truce not to up the voltage
or is it you feel sorry for me lol

 

[Scoobie Dave]

Absolutely awesome! I'm going to have to have one!

Your not the only one!

Im just gonna hold out for a while til the DFI NForce5 590 x16 SLI mobo hits the shelves. . .

 

[easyrider]

yup,

this chip seems to kick some serious ass!

 

[fenderbass86]

Any game benchies yet? Different resolutions?

 

[Stelly]

I really really cant wait to get my extreme edition

What I don't understand is why intel have released this at such low speeds whilst rabbiting on about low speeds and low power and "the ghz race" being over.. when these things seem to clock so hard even at stock voltages?

This is awesome work, I'm on an economy drive so I'm trying my very hardest not to join in but I fear I might wind up with one of these as a christmas present to myself

 

[man_from_uncle]

I built my current rig 6 months ago when optys were all the craze. I was holding strong and happy until I read this thred.

There's only one thing for it.....I'm going have to embezzle money out of my own account and build a new rig at night so my missus doesn't catch me.

What do I need? A motherboard, ram and processor. Might not get change for £500. But it'll be worth it.

G.Skill 2GB DDR2 HZ PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS4 Dual Channel Kit (F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ)
Intel Extreme D975bx-304 975X (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

So you're looking to get the E6300 or E6400 to be +/-£50 from your budget.
