tampoi... heard tat u got ur DS3 and ur E6300 edi... how was the overclocking result??

Just finished installing Windows in the early 3AM and have get to work in the morning so not really ready yet.... Sigh, will try to work on it tonight

Great, am too agrees on starting a new thread for Overclocking Result as currents one are more based on technical and discussion.

tAmp0i, tonight ah.

LoL. I'll try 'cause the TwinMOS-fatbody-wannabe-ram rated at 266MHz 4-4-4-12 could be the letdown

400FSB X7 so far...stock voltage..

Hey kev, lol i get the same screen as yours in the boot screen (66x7) while installing the Windows F1 bios

wah.. tamp0i.. got your proc liaw ah? wow~

Kev, where's your E6700 ES?

hey tampoi....fast clock liao.....we're wait here.....give us a best resault....

Played with it... But not very Ocable.. Can go until around 3.5Ghz on stock voltage..
DS3 not suitable for E6600 and E6700

Love E6300 more....

tAmpOi : I using Hyper 48

Corrected
Now with the valueram, can't reach DDR667 even with loosen timings.

1st pic) current most stable : 428x7 @ 2996mhz stock vcore, ram @ ddr1070. dual PI 32m

2nd pic) current highest clock : 450x7 @ 3150mhz 1.35vcore, ram @ ddr900.. super PI 1m & sandra cpu arithmetic

irenic, How much mch voltage u up? Cant really go beyond 400 without upping mch volt... Pass super PI 32M but not very stable also...Suddenlyrestart pc....

Pr is it the northbrige overheating?? Plan to change it to Blue Ice 2

vmch +0.2v .. i dunno bout the northbridge temp, but my pc also hang last nite when i was running dual prime @ 450x7 with surfing + listening to mp3s..

wait for someone back from KL.. cos he bring to KL mah.. sure will post...

Why DS3 not suitable for E6600 OC har? I am buying E6600 next week when the stock arrives but still don't know which mobo to use...
