The theory is very simple, what you need is to download the CPU right mark... the lower value for Maximal req. Vcore mean the proc is more overclockable. OCer from lyn please share and see whether it is true or not.

This one is mine~

hmm.. this is mine..

what about your E6600 ?

aiya.. just apply thermal paste on my e2160 & no thermal paste left for my e6600..

what are u talking about?

... I mean i don't have any MX-1 left for applying on processor surface.

where is your location? maybe I can give you some to try

Sarawak wor.. I still got Xigmatek thermal paste.. =.="

from you results i think its true

my e6600

min : 1.162
max : 1.325

.......... can you read whole post ??

Mine:

your idle temp 14c?

@sHawTY

your proc highest can oc to how many?

Wait, now that you've asked, now only i realize my Q6600 G0 has the lowest "Req. Vcore"
Anyway, for your question, i don't know man, i only oc my Q6600 G0 to 3.2GHz [400X8].

I'm a mild oc'er, not a hardcore oc'er.

That's what i do since the my first C2D processor.
I've had 3 e6600 & one e6420. before

1st. E6600 ES - [Sold]
2nd. E6600 OEM - [Sold]
3rd. E6600 Retail - [Sold]
4th. E6420 Retail - [Sold]
5th. Q6600 G0 OEM - [Using Now]

I ran all of them at 400MHz [Bus Speed] X 8 [Multiplier] - [3.2GHz [Clockspeed] @ 1600MHz [Rated FSB]]

Here's mine. Settings in BIOS as in my sig.



Attached thumbnail(s)

So many E66xx... wats the diff in them anyways?

mine

ES: Engineering Samples - Originally for Intel Laboratory use.
OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer - Doesn't come with heatsink or any sorts of warranty from intel.
Retail: Boxed With 3 Years Warranty - Processor's that you bought from the shops.

How did u get the ES?... And why did u change so many times?

es can be brought...also can be brought from intel staff...but es is not 100% stable...sometimes u lucky u get good one..sometime not..and es have no warranty

@Hyde`fK

mind to share your highest oc result?

seriusly those VID could get from coretemp itself too

4Ghz+, tested by rlhc17.

Yea, easiest way.

sound like it really working but still looking for more data from lyn ocer

I will test out the maximum speed i can go with my Q6600 G0 later once i got my Abit IX38 Quad GT.

@ Hyde`fK, buying the Abit IX38 Quad GT, is that a really good idea?
What i'm trying to ask is, is that board a real performer?

@sHawTY

How much you get for it? The board is not bad but just aware that the board won't boot if set to high vcore. Abit IP35-E does have that problem though.

This post has been edited by Hyde`fK: Dec 21 2007, 02:52 AM

Well, i'm getting it from kvmcom.
He state in his topic the price is RM780.

I PM'ed him for the availability and the best price.

waiting for him to reply my PM.

Too high vcore? I'm using Abit IP35-E right now by the way.
Well, i'm not a hardcore oc'er anyway, i'm just looking forward for a board that can really stabilize the whole system with my Q6600 G0.
I'm also looking for a board that has the third PCI-E X16 slot so that i can slot in another graphic card for my 2nd monitor so that the 2nd monitor won't burden the GC that i use for gaming.

So is it a wise choice to upgrade from the IP35-E to IX38 Quad GT?

Vcore higher than 1.6v bios set iinm won't boot. tAmp0i tested it when aiming 4Ghz. I don't know for you but P35 is still very good. I would upgrade to 780i.

i guess u do need 1.6 to get 4ghz for most quads...how abt d x38 dfi? i heard is quite good..seems like abit has problems too at x38 section...does abit resolve d problem with any bios update?

This post has been edited by intothefantasy: Dec 21 2007, 04:01 AM

That's not the case. Even if run at 3.5Ghz and with high vcore, won't boot either.

I thought Quad GT still has the bios problems?...

Oh wait, now that thing stops me from buying the board.

Aaaa.
What board should i go for now, i really really need a new board to replace mine, got really tired with this f*cked up IP35-E.

Go Mars... just got mine...

Mars doesn't have the third PCI-e X16 slot.
If it has, i would have it by my hands now.

we're waiting for your oc result

"the lower value for Maximal req. Vcore mean the proc is more overclockable"...

Hmmm..Conroe and Kentfield vcore if compare to Merom....Merom the lowest Vcore...Does that mean merom proc can clock higher?

dfi x38 it has 3 pci-e x16 slot

not sure if it apply to laptop proc too

here's my e6600

me and gsan temp is lower like 14C-15C
it is bcoz we are using ES...
I think gsan using ES too...

ES processor cannot show the accurate temp..

n00b in action...

sniper69: wonder you got apply thermal paste?? =.="
the temp quite high..

No.
That's because laptop processors are made to use low vcores.
Sometime it uses half of the vcore compared to desktop processors.

That doesn't meant it will perform well in overclocking.

5 minutes ago, i raised FSB to 450MHz but the multiplier stays at 8, and guess what, the "Maximal Requested Vcore" still stay on 1.250V.

PS: 450MHz [Bus Speed] X 8 [Multiplier] = 3.6GHz [Clockspeed] @ 1800MHz [Rated FSB]

Sadly, i forgot to take the screenshot.
My system is not stable though, didn't play with the vcore hard enough to find either my system is stable or not.

I think the maximal req. vcore is still remain no matter what speed you are running. actually the theory is very simple, let say for E6750, default speed is 2.66GHz with maximal req. vcore is 1.250v only, so it still can go more higher as there is a distance to pump up the vcore, compare to other E6750 which the maximal req. vcore is more than 1.250v, eg 1.350v

Does that mean i can go alot higher with my Q6600 G0?

that's what I wonder

humang aii... such a low VID there... ...

Low?
Beat this: A Q6600 G0 with a VID of 1.2000V

w00t.. lower than mine

btw, izzit stable enough?

Bang, VID tu tak berubah la.
Mmg datang original dgn processor.

Ko try la ubah ubah FSB, ko tgk sendiri yang VID tu takkan berubah langsung.

, got lower VID... damn, i think i must let go this B2 too la... , so, most of lower VID comes from G0 stepping la ni...

in case u guys never come across this thread
http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=172244

aku tau lerr, sbb tu aku tanya setup tu stable atau tak?
since this tread regarding the OC'able c2d or not..

come on bro, oc it kaw kaw la

Patience man, waiting for my new motherboard.
I can't go anywhere with this IP35-E.

Still deciding on which motherboard to buy.

So many choices.
1. Abit IX38 Quad GT
2. Asus Maximus Formula SE
3. Abit IN9 32X Max WiFi <-- The weakest in OC'ing. Sheesh, Why do i include this board in the list? Probably because it has what i need, the third PCI-E Slot.
4. DFI Lanparty DK P35 <-- Yeah, This one is the best in oc'ing, but the bad part? Getting it is so hard!
5. EVGA 680i SLi Rev. A1 <-- The most expensive!

yours is lower than mine(1.275v), but how come mine can oc higher?
we are using identical board ip35-e and ip35 pro.

dunno the price for EVGA 680i but the price for Maximus Formula SE is around RM1100, so I wonder why you will put DK P35 in your choice list? you should go for DFI LP UT/LT X38

Because i can get Maximus Formula SE at much much lower price than the price you state earlier?

Some update with my newly bought EVGA 680i SLi Rev. A1. It seems that the Maximal Req. Vcore will stay the same even if you change the board.

yup, the maximal req. vid is the characteristic of the proc itself, it wont change whenever it paired with which mobo.

Mine:



I'm running orthos maaa.. Hence the high temp.

Mine

E4500 reporting in...

Mine

@Izwan898 & skymyxe

both of your proc are E6750 ?

btw, I found that the VID of my friend's E6550 is 1.3125v

Yeah mine is like the signature...E6750 GO...

1.3125v?Meaning??High OCable?

haha actually i dont find the program really accurate

should be more overclockable compare to other 1.35v E6550.

it is not the current vcore of your proc

I actually don't think the VID has anything to do with overclockability overally. It only means there's a higher chance of the processor being able to clock higher with less voltage as it started off to be stable at the same speed across the same processors with less voltage.

Agree with u bro GRexer...but why with the different VID?Different batch or what?

I have 1 1.3v(Bios default and lowest) E6550.Get it up to 420fsb on intel capalak G33,22hrs OCCT stable.Now going into other people IP35E,see can go 460(Stock cooler,KVR Hynix pair) stable or not

It's most probably from different batch as it comes from different wafer, the only thing VID shows is that your processor can be ran stablely at stock speed at a lower voltage, that's all, not really a guaranteed better overclocking chip, it might not like high voltages, or maybe need high voltage to run at a higher speed(which might be why it's binned to be a lower speed processor instead also)

@bolded part

yeah, i think you just maybe right. because u see my e2140 is at 1.325v, but then it can stably oced to 3.4ghz with 1.45v

where as some e2140 with a vid of 1.25v like a friend of mines, can barely do even 3ghz with 1.5v

This is my Screenshot...
Any comments??

Also, i'm using shitty INTEL HSF Stock...

[attachmentid=379599]

damn nice... 1.2375 VID

Nice...low vcore but don't say shitty Intel Stock HSF...makes me sad coz I'm using it rite now too...haha

i wonder can intel cure 2 duo T7300 clockable??? is a lappy processor though

nice quad core u got there try to overclock

My e6750 screeny..
Manage to pump it up to 3.7ghz & its stable...

nice bro btw, is it prime stable?

the VID seems nothing to do with ocbility.
i've seen someone with lower VID than mine but still cant oc much.

Nice E6750 you got there.

Hmm. Prime.. havent try it yet...
