Hello there.

After 10 months of running my E6600 at a steady 3Ghz on all stock voltage, i thaught id overclock, but i have geil ram with bad SPD, so i have to use auto timings to boot at over 360 FSB.

But anyway, what is your E6600 voltage? And how much Ghz have you got from your cpu at what voltage?

Thanks

Btw im just currently testing 1.475v @ 3.4ghz (voltage is high yes, will lower it later to the lowest possible stable voltage)
 
anyone?

btw just stress testing 3505Mhz cpu now, it failed @ 3 mins with NB @ 1.55v, upped it to 1.65v and im now at 10 mins 15 seconds no errors @ 1.475v vcore, and its full loading @ 70c exact which im happy about for my scythe ninja with the fan @ 800rpm (silent).

allso did a quick 3dmark06 which im happy about, does it look okay for my spec tho?

good good, btw im at 3505mhz still, it failed after 29mins 47seconds @ 1.475v so iv upped to 1.485 and im orthosing now :)
 
I've got the low latency stuff with the orange heat creator. 4-4-4-12-1T @ 2.0v if memory serves.

I did have a brief stint at 3.4 on the stock cooler, but the temps were silly so backed off. Now have something more ample on top so should be good for the same if not more.

What temps you got on what cooler for your 3.4?
 
2 L629B E6600, both do 3.4Ghz @ roughly 1.34v and 3.6 @ 1.385v (set in BIOS). Better of the two ran on mates phase for a test @ 4.2Ghz 1.5v Prime stable.
 
[email protected] 400x8. Fails Orthos after 15 seconds but never lets me down when using real programs for hours and hours at a time. Can't remember the last system crash I've had that could be put down to something other than the CPU overclock. Been the same since December last year.

Check your CPU-Z at your SPD page and check see how old they are and if the timings are like these:

Because if there the old models like mine, they will not boot at over 360FSB on manual timings, you need to set them to auto, but doing so makes them automaticly slack timings due to there incorrect SPD :( but etleast it works by setting it to auto.

Allso @ 3.4ghz i was at 1.475v and at that i was idleing at 34c and full load at spot on 70c,
@ stock volts it idles at 28c and full load at 55 exact
and atm im at 3.5ghz @ 1.485v and full loading at 74c exact
btw im on a sycthe ninja at 800rpm fan the lowest speed
and this is in a 22c room btw :)
 
by the way, after 50 mins of orthosing 0 errors heres the temp's status etc:

3.5ghz @ 1.485v
74c @ 800rpm fan
71c @ 1200rpm fan
69c @ 1600rpm fan

:)
 
Mine is at 3Ghz stock voltage. I more or less stuck it straight at 3Ghz and then left it there. I have no idea if it will go any higher.

i stuck mine at 3ghz the day i got it in janurary, iv only ever gone to 3.3ghz in the past just for odd benchmarks, but iv gone higher this time and im loving it :)

Aye, looks like I've got the same as you:

Why do RAM vendors stick their SPD lower than what they advertise the RAM can do? Grr.


Well, I'll see what they can do in a moment. Failing that, I might spot for something filthier on payday. :)

To ensure the system boots !

And I have the older ram and CAN use 360MHZ+ on manual settings.

i can do 376mhz on manual but at 377 i have to clear cmos. i said 360 because thats the most common failure for these old sticks of geil ram.

but on auto you cna take the fsb higher
 
Well I'm on 362 at the moment, has taken a pretty big volts jump to get here though. Don't remember it being this tricky last time around.

3.0ghz - 1.26v
3.26ghz - 1.35v

edit - just re-read above, 1.45v for 3.4 seems to say i'm on the right track... /gets coat.

Still on manual settings around 37 degrees idle. Going back for more :D
