can't seem to get my E6600 past 3.30GHz (366.67x9). RAM 4-4-4-12 T1 @ 733.33MHz

took crazy voltage just to get it that high too.. temps are at 40C/60C

4 hours orthos stable

3DMark06: 14485

While you hear a lot of people flapping around saying an E6600 should go to 3.6Ghz stable, it just isn't that simple. Many E6600's only hit around 3-3.2Ghz, infact most do. 3.6Ghz is for lucky people who got a good chip.

3.3Ghz is a great return on that chip, but what voltage are you at? You shouldn't push more than 1.5 on air if you can help it, and definitely not more than 1.55 on air.

I've managed to get 3.4Ghz and it's stable so far,

i'm around 1.5 but i think i'm under 1.5 after vdroop

on ocforums i've seen a lot of people get 3.3+GHz with less voltage

i'm so tempted to get a E6750 just to see what i can do with it lol

since i found out that Asus won't be releasing a BIOS update for 680i boards to support 45nm chips i'm thinking that E6750 or Q6600 is the best i'm gonna get for my mobo....

Updated:

ASUS P5K-E

Core2Duo E6550 @ 2.8GHz (400x7) 1.192v Stock HSF

Temps 36c Idle / 55c running Orthos for 8 Hours with no errors.

G.Skill DDR2-800 4-4-3-5-24-2T 2.1v

I belive my temps were off in the other post. I think I mixed stock speed idle temp and oc'd load temp. Now the temps look fine.

Mine aren't much special:

CPU: Athlon 64 x2 4000+(brisbane) @ 2825mhz stable with just a little voltage increase. Stock is 2100. On the stock cooler atm but i plan to replace that with something better soon.

GPU: MSI 8600GT OC @ 650/1675/1700, from the stock 580/1508/1600.

Q6600 with gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L MOBO and G.Skill pc6400 ram.

356x9 = 3.2Ghz on air cooling, memory running at 853 Mhz, 5-4-4-14 timings. temps are all under 45 degrees, 30 something at idle, under 50 at load.

post-26332-1209263573.jpg

E6600 @ 3.5Ghz

clock-1.jpg

Asus P5B Deluxe, crappy Corsair Value RAM, and the stock HSF. Slightly hot - seems to run at about 40-45c idle. Stock voltages too. (Y)

Slap a better fan on that and push it further!

Mines runs about 40-45 as well, and under full load it's 55-60.

And it's at 1.53V ;)

Got my 9600GT at 730/1825/2006 haven't even tried going higher yet but will, this thing overclocks real well, temps hardly went up at all and it's the stock single clot cooling.

actually really brought framerates in crysis up enough so I could leave all the settings on high and play smoothly.

    • Seems like Neowin has transitioned into being simps for the white house. I can't find a review for the last UFC games that came out.
