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

very noob question from a totally outdated noob:

the conclusion? is this the fastest proc out there so far? but judging a book by its cover (the stock clockspeed seems pretty low)

wat makes it a hot topic?

Erm, for your question yes it is. Currently the fastest processor in the planet

izzit? how bout THIS, but then still unavailable in the market yet

Quad core is really owning.

Yealar, but not yet ready....

Haiyoooooooooooo. Damn it. I shud haf come to this thread sooner. I was scratching my head thinking y the DS4 mobo so stupid don't haf RAM settings 1. I was begining to think it was a noobie mobo without advanced OC options.
I cudn even get it to OC even 350FSB coz I didn't know bout the Ctrl+F1. I thought AhPaul sold me a made in china fake DS4.

wah! when did u get ur conroe?
still considering whether to go X6800 or E6700...
hmmm

Nonid think lar. Just get teh 6800 man. CPC Magazine OCed to 4.5Ghz bootable on stock HSF. Stable at 4.2ghz on stock HSF. Madness! Buy buy buy!

issit prime stable?

I am getting my X6800 next week or so. Do you have the link to that? They raised the FSB only or did it with upping the multiplier as well?

Sometimes, I just begin to wonder about this obsession of priming for hours on end. I've had my X2 failing prime at 2.6ghz but never encountered a single hang with FEAR, Q4, Most Wanted, HL2, Oblivion and any other games I thrown at it. To me, as long as it can pass the benchmark; even if it fails prime for 5 or 6 hours, I consider that a successful benching speed.

Just my thought... unless you're planning to use your rig to build rockets that must have absolute precision.

The extra L2 cache does wonders to superPi. Congrats for getting this splendid chip.

me usually don't prime only run superPI 32M,3D benching & games

well we have different kind of thinking. it's not an obsession, but i want to have a processor that is stable for 24/7 .. if u look at my oc, why did i spent lots of hours running prime at below 3.15ghz? eventhough i managed to do many things at 3.15ghz. it's bcoz i wanna find stable setting for daily use, not just for bench..

and i wonder why people so obsess about bench result? super PI? and all those synthetic 3dmarks?

i dont need to built rocket, if u r in animation rendering, where u r rendering 3dclips for the whole week without stop, u know what it means to have 10hrs of stability in prime..

well i understand, u r finding highest benchable clockspeed, but i am looking for highest stable 24/7 clockspeed.

i bet for those who believes 4hrs of 3dmark or stressful gaming + super PI is enuff, he wont manage to render 3d animation for the whole 1 day.


I used computer for both hobby and working, not just for benchies like u rich guys and that is why i'm asking about prime stable or not. if yes, i might be getting one also.

hmm look yummie ehh??
r u on air-cooling?

Hi guys, I got some OC problem wif my setup.

E6300 | MSI P965 NEO | 1gb DDR2 667 Cosair value ram | Coolermaster 430w

My mobo have a limit FSB of 333mhz, but I can't seems to get beyond 321mhz.

Everytime I set higher it will reboot once reach the windows screen.

Do I need to up voltage for any parts?
Is my PSU enuff to support the OC?
Izzit my ram not good enuf?
Is the stock CPU cooler good enuf?

I see everyone reaching 400 - 450 FSB, I can't even reach 333....
please

try run it at 1:1(FSB:RAM), might get atleast 400Mhz for ur 667 DDRII

the default BIOS setup running ob higher divider if im not mistaken

2nd test E6600

A little frustrating not being able to raise Vcore. This is the best I can do using IDE drive...
