Any word on OC'ing the new "A" batches of E6600?

[1ManArmY]

Rig to be assembled in current Coolermaster case

E6600 (L706A499) Feb 2007
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (Rev 3.3)
GeiL 2 GiG DDR2 800
XFX 7800 GTX
320 GIG WD HD (SATA)
Lite-ON 20X DVD-Burner (SATA)
FSP Group (Fortron Source) PSU 500W
Zalman 9700 LED
XP Media Center Edition

should be complete by Friday, what do you think it will do? Shooting for 3.0 - 3.2 Ghz

The newer, the better, I would assume.

I agree but get to work with it and let us all see.

I should have her up and running by Friday

Hopefully it's true.

So far though, most conroes post week 32 haven't been as good as those before week 32.

Update?

 

[1ManArmY]

slight delay in assembling the Rig, will post Saturday after testing is complete. I had to get another case for my existing parts to become my secondary rig.

Well, i've got my less than a week old e6600 to 3.15 9x350 with 1.375V
And i'm a novice at overclocking.

I just replaced my "G" batch (maxed at 333x9, no matter the voltage), with an "A" batch L640 tonight. So far, Orthos stable at 367x9 for 3.3ghz, though I haven't messed with voltages and/or multiplier settings yet.

Is anyone getting better results with a higher FSB using an 8x or 7x multiplier?

Also using a Zalman9700, 30 idle/58 Orthos.

My batch # is L645g343

 

[1ManArmY]

running at 3.10 (388 X 8) voltage at 1.408, 5-5-5:15, stable with Zalman 9700 LED

I bet you can go to 425fsb with it (around 3.4Ghz with 8x multi). Only thing holding you back could be memory, but 850Mhz is really not that big of an overclock for most sticks in the upper end (no value ram).

 

[1ManArmY]

thanks for the heads up, I'll keep that in mind when I decide to push it some more. timings are a little goofy but it's stable no hic -ups

 

[1ManArmY]

I keep losing my OC because after a reboot or shutdown the CPU host Frequency defaults to disabled. I had been using an 8 X 388 =3.10

I am now using 9 X 350 = 3.15 so if the CPU host frequency defaults to disabled it will run at stock speeds as opposed to 8 X 266 = 2.1.

any ideas ????? voltage at 1.40 when OC in effect.

Try saving various OC profiles into the bios. That way you can simply call them back up as needed.

It's that bloody DS3 feature that protects you agains overclocking. I had that same problem and had to RMA it for an P5B-D.

 

[1ManArmY]

is there anything specific that triggers the DS3 feature? The function in the Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker (CPU host frequency control won't save as enabled. After I make changes in the bios it shows the new changes initially upon reboot but then slight pause in power then it defaults to stock speeds provided I am using an 9X multiplier. Any other suggestions?

 

[1ManArmY]

am having trouble holding my over clock. I had been using 8 X 388 for a 3.1 but the CPU host frequency keeps defaulting back to disabled thus causing my system to run at 8 X 266 = 2.1 (E6400). I am now using a 9 X 345 = 3.1 so if I restart or shut down it will at least run at stock 2.4. I have the voltage set to auto (optimized) so it increases from 1.375 to 1.40 when both of the stated over clocks above are in effect. Any ideas????????

I get into the Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker to enable the CPU host frequency which allows me to increase decrease my FSB but for some reason after I make my selections and save it reverts back to default settings. When the system is booting up it shows 345 X 9 initially then it shows 266 X 9. Sometimes the oc will hold and I can benchmark it but if I restart my system after virus updates or msconfig changes it will lose the oc but the values are still there just not enabled under the MIT -à CPU host freq (disabled). How do you take a screen shot of your bios?
If my settings are being reset, is either a battery issue or there are some Intel ?automatic? crap features on for bringing the CPU back down to the speeds it think it should be at? How do you turn them off?

sorry for so many questions and incomplete thoughts
