After finishing a 12 hour Prime95 Small FFT torture test, I can officially say she's finished.

 

I couldn't have gotten to this point without you guys, for that I'm extremely grateful. I got so much advice from this site - from motivation to switch to Intel, the P35 chipset, advice on a PSU, TONS of overclocking info, help with voltage, lapping, testing, etc etc the list goes on and on.

 

Specs:

 

E6750 @ 425x8 (3.4GHz): Lapped, AS5'd, on an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L mobo: Thermaltake copper HSF for northbridge

2GB A-Data DDR2-800

mushkin enhanced 580W modular PSU: AWESOME quality, I'm in love with this psu.

Diamond HD3870 512MB DDR4: mildly OC'ed on stock cooling

Hitachi 160GB (will expand in the future when needed)

LITE-ON 20x DVD-R w/ Lightscribe, FDD, and memory card reader

NZXT case

Windows XP Pro x64

 

After lapping the cpu and reorienting the Freezer, at 3.4GHz and 1.41875v both cores are at 36

Not bad at all I must say. Any benchmarks done for games yet? I am interested to see what FPS you get with the overclock compared to stock... :) Well done!

Nice rig! Just a question, did you get a mirror finish on that Freezer 7 Pro? Cause the one I lapped just kept looking crappier, it never really went shinier :(

I didn't lap the HSF in-depth seeing as it was flat already. I did a quick 10 minute job on it using 600, 800, and 1000 grit to smooth it down. It's not a mirror finish, but it is reflective.
