hmm well bcoz i rarely buy the lowest proc in each category not bcoz underestimate them but bcoz i like to run stock for 24/7 .. and 1.8ghz looks a bit slow for daily use hehe

but it seems like i can run 3ghz for 24/7 with this core 2 duo hehe

neway this is my new ram.. mushkin ddr2 800.

Hello 20 seconds Found the stick alone in the rack thinking of giving it a fly.
Only 1 stick of Kingston valueram DDR533, Vdimm +0.5, Gmch +0.2v, Vcore normal. Not bad for a DDR533 though

that's great tampoi! seeing u easily getting 20secs with 2.9ghz & ddr830 ram make me eager to format my windows

Make a new partition for benchmark only, clean and clear

i did that last time. create 7gb partition with a fully tweak win xp.. but now no more space since i have both win xp n vista installed

Remove Vista, install fresh WinXP. Kekeke.

so sayang to uninstall the vista.. hehe it looks very nice

btw i just looked at my oc database, @ 2.8ghz, ram @ 1000mhz 5-5-5-15 i managed to get 20.437secs in super PI 1m, while @ 2.99ghz, ram @ 1070mhz 5-6-6-15 i managed to get 19.344secs.

now with cpu @ 3.15ghz, ram @ 900mhz 4-5-4-13 i managed to get 18.406secs..

is that mean cpu clockspeed is more important than ram fsb in super PI ?

Hmm yes, in the world of PI CPU clockspeed matters most.... Timings come second and then OS

Wahlao..Fast sia..Anyway,irenic,what's the highest clockspeed ur 6300 can go?

irenic...hw much u got ur mushkin?
this E6300 seems kick ass....3ghz....tats a lot of gain in oc!
y dun u try loosen the timing more n get the highest fsb..mayb can c some nice super PI calculation....

i think it won't help much... tight timing is better in superPi rite?

If 3.5ghz with looser timing, still faster than 3ghz with better timing in PI calculation.

Not really, changing timings from 5-5-5-15 to 4-4-4-12 doesn't do squat to my superPi. Anyway, here it is: 17secs with stock vcore. Once I am able to modify the vcore, I think I could go beyond 3ghz.

this shows it all. i dont think my windows is too bad. bcoz different between E6600 and E6300 is 2secs, and thats true in Super PI.

However, I do see a difference in terms of amount of L2 cache. 2.88ghz with 4MB L2 can get lower times compared to a 3ghz ++ 2MB L2 cache E6300. If the E6600 can run at 3-3.3ghz and above, I think 14s is not impossible since every 100MHz increase roughly translates to a second off superPI.

i kinda agree wif wat Hyde`fK says so does jarofclay says.....tight timing doesnt play major role in gettin better super PI score..... the higher ur clockspeed is the faster the super PI time...

Yea, still yet to see anyone can reach 3.5ghz on air yet. jarofclay should have the nearest answer to it as he owns a E6600, which can easily reach 3.6ghz with 400mhz.

But does E6600 clocks well compared to E6300 right now?

Problem is the Intel D975XBX doesn't allow adjusting the Vcore without any modding. Fear not though, X6800 is on the way and with multipliers enabled upwards on 975X chipset, I think 3.5 and above might be achievable.

What is the memory though? The strength of 4MB really shows

yeah. it's normal to see at same clockspeed, 4mb c2d will beat 2mb c2d with 2secs in PI. few people who owns both conroe and allendale has tested it and most of them have same result.
i guess even my windows is fully format, i can just get extra 1 sec max..


yups. E6600 has better chance to hit 3.5ghz since the multiplier on E6300 is quite low. But for 3.5ghz, i believe is just a matter of time for all allendale user. As for me, I'm always strive to hit max stable oc. I wont rush into finding max clockspeed but just be able to take screenshot

So far max OC for conroe is extra 300mhz over the allendale.
