really need advice and opinion,my abit ip35 pro with e6850 can only stable with 3.4 @1.38 vcore
anything more than that no matter whatever vcore,or ram setting used it wont boot

same board use with q6600 now stable at 3.4 @1.42vcore
sound a bit weird

another comparison,put the e6850 (same cpu) with gigabyte p35-ds3(value board),stable at 3.6@1.4 vcore

any opinion is appreciated coz try to google around the net,cant find any solution

thanks

in ocing, its based on luck on whter u get a good batch or a shitty one.

Since u r new, maybe need to learn more from others ppl experience. Can u list out more details bout ur system such as PSU, cooler etc.

ok,i will try to google around,but just curious why same proc (e6850) cant go more on abit but right now running stable at 3.8@1.45vcore on gigabyte.so its not processor limitation.

abit spec

abit ip35 pro
q6600 at 3.4 @1.46vcore
2gb corsair dominator 8500c5
gigabyte odin pro 800w psu
his radeon 2900xt gddr4
gigabyte 3d mercury liquid cool casing and cooler

gigabyte spec

gigabyte p35-ds3
e6850@ 3.8
2gb crucial ballistick 8500
no vga borrow from abit spec
no psu borrow form abit spec
no casing
zalman cnps9700 cpu cooler

^ hurmm c2q at 3.8Ghz ya? that rock!

but how u determine wheter ur 3.8Ghz rig really stable?
have u run some stress test program?

i think its c2d not c2q

TS ady jot down his pc spec

no need argue..

muahahah it depends
if u want to post
tell whats ure voltages on mobo northbridge etc
ure strap on rams
ure ram mhz
ure multiplier..

so inconclusive.
willing to bet the e6850 is unstable
u want a 24/7 rig ure going to need more tweaking which at 3.8ghz is not for you at the moment
if googling didnt answer ure questions.. i doubt u will find the answer here.
better u gun at 3.6 24/7

u didnt even mention whats the fsb wall of the mobo and proc.. ( need to test with different procs and mobo)

also straps/ ram speeds also affects gpu overclock . ( never understood y on this also)

weird larr u ..
buy lousy elpida rams for the first rig
and micron D9 on the second rig.. heck if i was u would take out the dominator heatsink and swap with the ballistix. ( a job not for the faint hearted take note)

i've test IP35-E.. yes its not IP35-Pro.. but its from abit..

it is excellent clocker (500fsb board with beta bios from abit usa forum) but it has terrible vdroop.... i've to set 1.56vcore and cpuz shows it as 1.48

^ w0ot.. doncha think the vcore lil' too high for 35p chipset?

i mean the processor voltage coz ive seen alot 35p user doesnt really need that high voltage running on higher speed.

u might need check ur configuration later

CPU-Z show ~1.3 already can get FSB400+ d...
