my initial boot up E6600 pair with Kingston HyperX DDR900mhz

Vcore= Normal
VDIMM= +0.3v
MCH Voltage= +0.2v
FSB Voltage= +0.2v
PCI-E Voltage= Normal

dont try f4e.. some killed their bios when flashing their board.

i suggest u to try using other vga card, even pci display card.. and see whether the problem is solve or not..

btw here is my 1st oc with my conroe e6600..

proc at 350x9 @ 3.15ghz

ram at auto (downclock @ ddr700), timing 4-5-4-15 (loose a bit bcoz dont want the ram to hold my cpu oc)

vdimm auto
vmch +0.2
vfsb auto
vpcie auto
vcore 1.375

bcoz i cant find any 975 board. damn. yeah i'm quite dissappointed. i want all around pc fair, then ly to search for 975 board but no one has them. So i just gambe on this DQ6..

the heatpipe for this DQ6 is much hotter than DS4, maybe bcoz of its 12 phase power thingy..

and btw, anyone knows what is PEG in the bios?

i guess the heat came from my intel stock hsf. i had difficulties installing it and my cpu was so hot. then with the help of austin, i managed to install it correctly. it nearly bend my mobo, and my fingers were in pain haha.. damn.. k8 socket is the best ever clip..

and rite now i'm using ninja (borrow from arj) and using coretemp my temp remain at 63c, and with  speedfan, my temp remain at 52c during dual prime.

and i guess my e6600 ihs is not flat.. there was no any as5 mark on the center of my intel stockhsf, means that the center of the ihs is deeper than at the edge of the ihs..

Just curious, has anyone here tried the simple pencil vdroop mod for the DS3? VR-Zone has the guide and it looks sooooooooo simple, even a n00b like me could do it. Just connect the resistors using pencil/conductive ink and voila. Is it that easy? What were your results like?

After I flash my bios to F4E, finally I manage to overclock my E6300...but now I stuck at 290 x 7...damn.....

I using anabond for the thermal compound....and my temperature is like 53 - 60...around there.......using intel stock fan....but the heatsink for the mobo chip is damn hot ......the cpu heat sink like not taking much heat....

The ppl on XS were referring to the guide posted by Shamino at VR. It's not a 3 pin thing, rather its just 2 solder points on the board that need to be shorted together using conductive solder/ink/pencil.

^hmmm.. look like my rank the lowest, anymore user wif cheapop "allendale" user here?
kamon, post ur OC result here(hoping is there any lower than mine)   

i was using value ram 667 before no problem oc it up to 430fsb
but my friend ds3 ady rma twice cant oc even a bit using my hyperX ram & my e6300 also
now he change Asus P5B DLX wifi ed ady damn pissed with ds3
but part of it depend on luck also la.......

here my latest with Team Xtreem D9 memory running on 4:5 divider

My Conroe 6600.. Too bad I got a cheap ram Keeping money to buy Xi-Fi Platinum then only buy the performance RAM. I'm using my old RAM from my old computer.

guy, i ended up getting myself an X6800
but the thing is, im afraid that my methods of cooling [scythe infinity] is not sufficient for this beast.
have u guys seen anyone hit above 4ghz with their X6800 on air?

Hey guys i am thinking of getting a new CPU cooler for my E6300+DS3. Any suggestion? Don't want giant tower heatsink like Ninja or Ultra 120, my casing cannot fit  . How about Ultra 90,XP 90C, TT Big Tyhoon VX, which one is the best? I am leaning towards ultra 90 or xp90c cos both not so big and heavy 

WTA if any of u guys know which shop selling Artic Cooling products? Interested to get their CPU/Graphic card coolers
