I'm running at 400x9 @ 1.4375V (BIOS) right now. Idle 46, load 71C (via Coretemp) with an Ultra-120 and Panaflo M1A @ 12V. Ambient is 25-26C (80 degree days + poor air circulation in my room/house = high temps). It's 27 hours Orthos stable, but I don't have a screenshot to prove it. I'm waiting to get paid for some CAD work so I can buy a good watercooling system and see what this beast is capable of... but I guess I'd need some good RAM to do that too. This junk is Orthos stable well over DDR2-900 but Quake 4 crashes if I go above 830. *sigh*

On a positive note, I bought a CM Stacker for $75 to house my w/c system. I've always liked the Stacker, and now I have one. I plan to sand it down and repaint it (probably red and black). I'll have a PA120.3 along the top. Probably a window on the side so I can show of my w/c. Woo! I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Now all I need it some money and the time to do it all...

And who knows, maybe I'll even get a reliable internet connection one of these days instead of using my neighbor's (that I can only pick up on warms days... which is why I suddenly appeared on OCC again ).

Ok i bought a 6700 core 2duo and here's what i have. This is about it until i'm forced into water cooling.

380x10 pi 1m



375x10 Pi 32m



373x10 Occt



360x10 Prime stable

Is it really a good idea to follow cpu-z for everything. I mean king, you are pretty sure 6300's are allendales and i am pretty sure that 6700's are conroes but still cpu-z gets it wrong. Also my 4300 comes up as an allendale but my friends as a conroe

cpu-z may get the name wrong... but i can't remember it being wrong for the amount of cache and the nm technology for quite some time... and that's what matters... it could be a conroe with half the cache disabled, an allendale, or a ch-ch-ch-chip'n'dale... as long as you're grouping them by cache level per core it doesn't really matter

I may as well post my modest overclock here

C2D E4300 @ 3.0Ghz (9*335, don't ask me why it doesn't supports 333Mhz bus).
Asus P5N-E SLI
2x1Gb G.Skill PC6400HK @ 3-3-3-5-3-1T synced (i.e. 375Mhz, to get max performance with reduced timings)
Seasonic S12-500W
2x7900GTX (Sli)

In terms of cooling :
Zalman CNPS-9500 @7V
ThermalRight HR-05-SLI with a Noiseblocker fan @5V(800rpm) on the northbridge
1x120mm fan extracting the hot air

12 hours OCCT stable

ccokeman, I will add this when I get back home. No good doing that during school ;-)
Nrg is totally right on this one, doesn't matter if 2MB are disabled or it natively has 2MB, its an Allendale, 4MB is a Conroe!

Tetedeiench, please post screenshots! That RAM looks like some real nice overclocking stuff.


Noone wanna congratulate me for my Xeon 3060? j/k, I am just extremely happy with a 1.3GHz overclock below stock volts

I will still argue that point Intel says there Conroes and CPUZ shows my 6300 as a conroe. Now before when it showed as Allendale you said we are going by CPUZ now they have corrected there mistake. So now we are not going by CPUZ??????
What is this make up the rules as we go kind of thing???????
Just call the Conroes a Allandale EE.

If the E6300/6400 with the high FSB are going to be Allendales what are the lower FSB C2D allendale chips going to be called then Pressler?

2MB cache = Allendale
4MB cache = Conroe

whatever FSB they have, not groundbreaking thing is it.

Core2Duo 6600
Asus Commando 965
CellShock PC2-8000 (DDR2-1000) DDR2 2X1GB 4-4-4-12 2.2v

Cooling: Zalman CNPS9500-AT
Clock
3465 = 385x9 @4:5 = 963
Vcore = 1.475v (set in bios)
Vdimm = 2.2v
All other volts on auto.
Memory 4,4,4,12,6,35,4,10,4,11
Stability - Orthos 11Hr

Erm, to prove my clock do i need to calculate 2 instances of Pi at the same or one after the other. Also do i need to set one to run on the first core and the other to run on the other core?

run 2 instances at the same time, they will automatically use both cores.
@ supershanks, thanks for the submission, I added the SuperPI, but you need to run 24 hours of Orthos for it to be added to the list.

So :
C2D E4300 @ 3Ghz FSB 335
G.Skill 2x1GB PC6400HK @ 3-3-3-5-3-1T synced (@335Mhz) (factory timings : 4-4-3-5-24-2T@400Mhz)
Asus P5N-E SLI
2x7900GTX (Club3d & Leadtek)
Seasonic S12-500W

Better late than never



OCCT 8hours stable + 3hours memtest stable

Is this a suicide for the E4300?

I will soon be adding my contribution to this thread with the system I have put in my sig. I am waiting for my 680i RMA. I am going to probably start a thread asking for help overclocking this machine as soon as the mobo gets here.

feel free to post in here, thats what this thread is here for! I added the E4300 @ tetedeiench!

See that watercooling setup in my sig? Just got the last parts today! mwahahahahahaha

Been running at 3.6 for quite awhile: time to push it farther... or is it further? ...Do we have any English majors here?

Anyone else having problems holding there OCs? My system refuses to bootup at 3.6 now (when it was 4 hours orthos stable) and just craps out at 3.4 I'm at 3.0 now....

Have not had any problems yet. If anything mine get a little better with some burn in. My 6600 went up to 3656 from 3552 mhz.

OK, I got some free time from reviewing and decided to up my scores a bit.

tallman, you mind telling me what speeds you got that at?

Why would it be a suicide ?

Rock stable

I just thought that since there were no images it was a suicide
King is going to want some images of OCCT, or 24 hour Orthos, Super PI 1M or 32M if you want it posted on the first page

I can't use anything else than OCCT, being who i am

I have to format Vista to go back to XP (who said "hasta la vista" ?) tonight, i'll rerun it again for the screenshot

Yea that would not look good using one of the other programs would it.

I put you down for suicide right now, due to the fact that I don't have any screenshots.

*reminds tallman to post speeds of the screenshots above*

Is this a suicide for the E4300?
He posted them right here

naaa, I meant screenshots for OCCT etc. I added that as a suicide for now

Heh, don't remember, I have tried sooo many! LOL
I think it is at 3.85 GHZ or maybe 3.9GHZ. Some where in that ballpark. I will rerun them and get the cpuz shot with it. Better to have no doubts.

Yeah, I thought so, somewhere in that ballpark. But since I was there.....

And a suicide..

Nice!! what kind of vcore were you using to get that done.

added, thanks man! If you get the time redo the 32M SuperPI again

Thanks. Heh, I gave it all my board has, 1.7v vcore! My vdroop is quite nasty though so actually near 1.685v. It was only about 60F (16C ) in the room at the time. I also have a 40mm fan attached to the top of my northbridge cooler. Also, I had removed the northbridge and soutbhbridge chipset colers and applied AC5 under them. That alone dropped my temp by 5c at idle.





Yes, I will later. Heh, got more stuff to review right now.

nice, keep it coming!

Well, try as I might, I can not get that low on the 32M again.
This is the best I have right now.

Edit for grammar

this thread makes me want a C2D lol... nice work everyone

You must be joking, your going for a quad core

Running an e4300 on air, with an Ultra 120 HSF.



Didn't push it too hard, but I'm new to overclocking, so I can't complain.


EDIT:

On second thought, I can probably push it a bit further. Like...

OK, I got the 805D Smithfield back in for a bit.
I have some more scores to add.

Thats an incredible clock if you take into consideration the low vcore.

Hey ccokeman, check 2-3 pages back, I posted with the Xeon 3060 I had for a couple of days. 3700MHz with 1.13 Vcore!!! For 4GHz it took 1.78 though, but I just needed that screenshot

I guess you guys were right about the intel socket 775 being good oc'ers

hell yea dude, don't get any AM2's, the C2D's rock all over them! Just check the results in the front page which I'm sure you have

of course i have...

I also had a suicide at 4415 MHz but lost it when I reformatted to get back to reviewing
(I forgot to save it)

some news from me:
SuperPI 32M @ 3504MHz (438x8) with the RAM clocking at 5-4-4-12, 1:1


I'm working on getting this sucker to 3.5 24/7 stable

I am finally back online and have my new system assembled. I still need a cooling solution - I am using the stock intel cooler right now - and I don't dare overclock at all on the stock cooler.

Does anyone know how well the G.Skill RAM is overclocking right now?

Also, I am going to need some help figuring out the BIOS on this 680i! This is a whole new world for me!

I OCed mine to 3.2 with the stock cooler.... anyways, the Tuniq Tower would be good.

Wow! What temps did you get with the stock cooler?

I am thinking of the Tuniq, or a Zalman CPNS 7500.
