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

yups @ 2.2vdimm .. tomorrow i'll get a new ram which i doubt will work better than this ahaks.. but hopefully not worse

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..

not so.. bcoz some of this combination prevent e6600 from using 9x multiplier when oc

yups u can lower it down.. but then whats the different from getting e6400? owh the 4mb cache? well it's up to u if u think rm400 is worth the extra 2mb cache

nice! where did u order it and how much?

i know that. thats why i said, if u wanna run E6600 on ds3, then when oc u need to use 8x since it got problem with 9x (some of them) so it just like u r running E6400 with 4mb cache.. i hope u got my point

not just that. but also one of the best so far..

x6800 is way too expensive for me dude.. if i buy that, i have to eat maggi for the rest of the year

btw i was considering between E6400 and E6600, bcoz the extra 2mb cache was really interesting but then when i read review comparing 2mb vs 4mb core 2 duo, the real time difference is too little to make it worth rm400 extra. So i decided to buy E6400 but then no stock. So had to buy E6300 which i am really satisfy now

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.

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

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

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 ?

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.

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.

yeah somehow this c2d is slower during win xp bootup. but in vista, it is much faster..

wah.. look-new-case for ur new c2d !! great job!

i bet both will have same limit. so go for 6600 so u can spend ur money somewhere else..

by the way while i was studying for tomorrow quiz, i ran a continuos benches without reset windows or tweak anything to test stability with the new release bios for gigabyte mobo.

dual super PI (from 1m till 32m) -----> 3dmark03 ------> 3dmark05 ------> 3dmark06 ------> 3dmark01se ------> aquamark .

setting:

E6300 B2 @ 3.15ghz 450x7 1.375vcore (bios), 1.34v (windows)
2x 1gb Mushkin EMS ddr900 5-5-5-15 @ 1.9vdimm
Gigabyte DS4 (bios F3c)
ATi x1900xtx (catalyst 6.7 , stock speed)

first of all, it's better if u post in this thread
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=320359.

anyway regarding ur questions,

1) yeah easytune does reset ur setting everytime u restart the windows.

2) this intel core 2 duo does have EIST, if i not mistaken stands for enhanced intel speedstep tech. during idle, it will slowdown ur clockspeed to save power.

for me, if money not an issue, i will alwiz go to the highest speed i can buy IF the oc limit is the same. U can try do review based on retail E6700 and E6600 first. It's because i wont run oc speed for daily use. So the higher the default clockspeed is better for me.
but if u're going to run ur setup @ oc speed 24/7, then go for E6600. Even if money not an issue, it's still a money rite? u wont just throw it away (better give it to me ) ahaks j/k.
9x multiplier and 10x multiplier different, ah well i'm sure the 400 fsb limit is more than enuff.. 400x9= 3600ghz..

Jarofclay, do u know whats the default MCH voltage? rite now seems i hit the wall @ 450 fsb in bios. It wont go any further. But i can go up to 500fsb with easytuner 5 (but not stable at all).
this is my voltage setting.

VDIMM +0.4
VPCIE +0.1
VMCH +0.3
VFSB +0.1
VCORE 1.375-1.424 ( all cant go more than 450fsb in bios)

wow. do u really need that voltage at 2.8speed. I guess my stepping is good. I no need to up the mch voltage up to 0.3v @ 3ghz..
