will this thread be pinned, jsut like the previous one?

Yes definitely

Nice.... Let's journey continue!

wow, revision3 already? then it's good sign for new breed of fsb1333 to be listed here. any user of e6x50 want to share the OC stats?

3.81ghz 1.45vcore prime stable

E6850

3.64ghz 1.45Vcore prime stable

E6750

whats wrong with my proc? even orthos blend stress with priority 9 at stock clock 1.35vcore is giving error.

Have you tried both Small and Large test? Give us the result. If only small test having errors, possibly the proc is faulty at first who knows.

its ver.3... nice...

i see that Arctic cooling MX-2 TIM is out. Has anyone got his/her hands on it yet?

the MX-2 is better than MX-1 and AS5 so u will get 2+ degrees cooler temps on ur overclocked CPUs.

wonder where i could grab it...

Just finished setting up my new rig. Remember when we were wondering whether the E6x50 series were giving wrong core temperature?

Well, I didn't have time to test it fully yet but it looks like some apps are giving inaccurate temp.

On my E6750 + stock heatsink + GA-P35-DS3:
Core temp (v0.94) at load (orthos) : 43'c
Easytune5 at load (orthos) : 49'c

The Easytune5 app came with the mobo. It is consistently registering 6'c higher than core temp.

I remember irenic's E6850 giving a load temp of 51'c at 4.0Ghz (stock heatsink) which I thought a bit too low.

Anybody can confirm this? What CPU temp monitoring apps are you all using for the E6x50 series? Wanna get the core temperature correct first before I start to overclock this baby.....

Going to test with other apps (e.g. speedfan) tomorrow after work......

This post has been edited by kmarc: Jul 25 2007, 12:13 AM

ive used asus probe, speedfan, coretemp, rivatuner (CPU plugin), and everest. all registered the same temp.

idle stock everythin; cpu 35C core0 25C core1 19C

Can you manually set the sub-timings in BIOS? 4.0-4-4-12-2T-4-25-6-8-Auto-Auto-40-Auto

E6850 testing 3.80GHz 1.49v Orthos, Scythe Ninja. Asus Probe 63°C and CoreTemp (0.95) 54°C.... Accurate i believe

If you fail prime at stock speed, its means that there is nothing wrong with proc. Start looking elsewhere.. Like...

PC6400 @ 4-4-4-12 1T <<<<

If u not sure which app is more accurate, always trust the one that record higher temp

Anyway, I am quite sure that coretemp got problem detecting the correct temp for E6*50 proc. Anyway, I am using Asus Probe II

i used thermometer and the temperature of my heatsink (near the processor) was below ambient temp.. well i didnt mean coretemp is correct but at least it is proven this G0 runs very2 cool..

E6850 initial result

congrat raymond. you are the best. now my rig is still not with me, can't play with it. i hope i can get 4.2GHz also. but after testing for few hours, i only managed to get 4.1GHz. sien.... btw, what is the vcore you use to obtain 4GHz mark? and that's the highest?

This post has been edited by Sanko: Jul 25 2007, 04:23 AM

dun think my ram timings are giving problems... was using the same timings previously with my e6600.

Wow seems like the 6x50 series really cool eh? My dated e6300@3.1Ghz already load arund 64c using Scythe Ninja

Bro, itchy already kah? Hehehe.... Nice result!

My very first oc result of Quad Extreme,it's boiling Eggs....

very soon bro,no time to tweak,right now just run it for fun,back to 3.0GHz daily use.

anyway,more result coming up soon.

That's what I mean..... core1 at 19'c??!??


Errr.... can you clarify that? How can it be accurate when there is a 9'c difference?


No necessarily as Rightmark CPU clock showed 6'c higher than easytuner5 which is 6'c higher than core temp!!

I guess I still have to wait for newer apps that truly support these procs and will show the correct temp......

Is anyone here has own E4400 with M0 SLA98 stepping? It looks better oc potential since thermal specification is higher than L2.

This post has been edited by §layerXT: Jul 25 2007, 07:39 PM

@raymond

Nice result.. My proc cant do that. Probably need more testing. Hehe..

Quite obvious that DFI > P5K Deluxe in Mhz but lost out in ram timing. Sigh

All sifu, please help me...

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/493588#

Those with E6750, mind giving some feedback on your OC?

So far, at stock 1.35v, I'm able to boot at 3280Mhz and also orthos stable.

Going to go for higher vcore later..... (anybody knows the safe voltage for running 24/7?)

hi guys...can e6600 overclock using intel chipset 945P mobo?right now using ECS 945P-A ver 3.0 and intel c2d e6600...

any 1 try this link.......Intel Thermal Analysis Tool
cant dl lah...need help..thanks

I dont think ECS board will oc well, just let it be in garage sale and grab P35-DS3 instead. Or still more budget get P31-DS3.

most 945 based chipset have limited option in OC. Try to hunt down some 2nd hand 965/975, i've seen some are letting it go becoz they wanna get P35.

p/s: i miss my e6600

hurm,need to wait till this November if want to buy mobo
miss your e6600?then come visit him at Terengganu

anything special this November?X38???

some of us just dont have such luck in getting processors...
my first e6850 cant even oc to 3.2Ghz using 1.39vcore.

rma the proc and got another proc with the same batch (L720Axxx). no doubt it's slightly better than my first e6850, but still cant fully load to windows at 4.0Ghz 1.60vcore. the weird this is, it doesnt BSOD or POST fail, it just stops loading the OS services. mouse and keyboard are still responding thou....

You sure it is the CPU and not the mobo/ram? Intel's CPUs are supposed to be able to OC more than that! 3.0Ghz to 3.2Ghz only is strange.....

My E6750 can go from 2.66 to 3.28Ghz at stock voltages (1.35v). Haven't tried higher vcore yet....

prolly my oc skills sux... but i set every damn voltage (cpu, sb, nb, vtt, 1.2vht) to 1.6v already. ram left at stock 5-5-5-18 2T 400mhz. tried both 500x8 and 445x9... no luck.

who wants to volunteer to test out my proc?

test ur Proc? wow...i am in for sure . I could prolly get it to 4.5ghz with extreme cooling.

What rams are you using? What's the vdimm? Try to set the rams to DDR2-667 speed.

I don't think you have to do anything to the voltages yet. Most of the time, you can OC the CPU without touching any voltages. It is only if you want to go higher, then you start to increase the voltages.

It is probably not your CPU, considering that you set the vcore to 1.6v. That's high!!!!

Me! Me! I can test your proc for you! But I'm in Kuching la...... difficult.... Or you want to exchange proc?

im using crucial ballistix pc6400 400mhz (800 effective) @ 2.225vdimm. 1.6vcore is just one-off testing for 4Ghz setup.

prolly you are right. 2 units of e6850 failed to OC under my rig did make it clear that sumthin is not right with my rig. but what would it be? i hv no problem oc my prev proc using the same system.

Kuching? sorry dude, me passport expired dy...

Yeah, same ram as mine. Wah, already set to 2.225v ka? For my rams, at 5-5-5-15, 2T at 2.0v, can already go up to 1150Mhz. So I don't think you need to set the ram vdimm so high at 800Mhz. I was actually running my rams at 4-4-4-12, 2T at 800Mhz at 1.8v. Now still finding out the limits for these nice rams.....

If you have been Ocing your previously proc, then I guess you know how to overclock......Anyway, not too sure why you can't OC your CPU. I'm also still new to C2D and still learning the proper way of overclocking C2D.

i'm using tracer 800 too, running ddr900 at 4-4-4-8 with 1.9v. not orthos stable but running 24/7 without problem, period

@kmarc,
i'm in UNIMAS, samarahan. if can test, remember me ya hehe
btw, is your proc orthos stable after OC? 3.2Ghz seem bit too low le. aim for 4Ghz and higher la

Ya, I didn't have time to OC further as I'm in Sibu now. Only had 1 day to play with my new rig. Can't wait to get back to kuching!!!

3.2Ghz is only at stock vcore. I have yet to increase the vcore.

Not much time to play with the rams too. Will test further when I get back. For me, I prefer every component to be stable, at least orthos and superPI stable.

Why not increase your Vdimm to 2.0v? I mean, these rams are rated at 2.2v max and warranty covers until that high anyway. I'm probably going to find a sweet spot for 2.0-2.1v vdimm.....

Here's mine doing stress test at stock 1.35v. Notice the supposedly CPU temp at 55'c on stock heatsink!!!

Don't dare increase the vcore until I get my new heatsink.

Quite a bad vdroop though, about 0.03v drop at full load (is this acceptable???)

See my stock NB temp at 41'c only....

bro,using swiftech wc and go 85c on full load ah?

Wah! So high settings! You could probably get better superPI if you tighten your ram timings.

See my modest OC on stock heatsink. Can't OC much until I get my xigmatek cooler.

My rams are also Crucial ballistix PC6400 running at 4-4-4-8, 2T, 2.1v at 960Mhz......


Attached thumbnail(s)

E6850 also need high setting like that , using WC and proper cooling, ventilation maybe can use 4GHz everyday.

Some result I obtained from quick benching on my Asus P5K Deluxe as requested by some buyer.

4ghz (1.46vcore) Prime Stable (Blend Test, Priority 9) for 12hours


Untweaked and run at 'dirty' window Pi Result at 4248.


Suicide run

What under 1.5v can stably for 4GHz?

YEap no suprise, G0 is capable of it. furthermore he's on water, probably able to hit that with a super duper HSF too.

Errr... You are only half correct about the proc and cooling. Though, cooling is very important but a good mobo is needed also to achieve that. So far I cant reach that speed and stablity with any of my mobo I tested before.

A good comprehensive details on 680i SLI and P35.

http://www.hardspell.com/english/doc/showc...sp?news_id=1136

Anyways here's the sweet spot of my P2D. The 3.1ghz is Orthos Stable, but need an additional + 0.08v. pls add me to the list.

I think maybe the ASUS board u tested had newer revision. I am hoping at least to get sub 4GHz with my QuadGT...(maybe impossible)....

I not sure what revision is my board but its should be the latest gua
