I have an Ultra Microfly and it is an extreme pain to remove the cpu/heatsink.
Just switched from a e2180@3150MHz to an e6600.
Got the e6600 cheap and just wanted to see what the actual difference was between 1MB cache and 4MB L2 cache.
Motherboard is an Asrock Conroe1333 that is limited to a 350MHz fsb with no cpu voltage adjustment, video card is now a 9600GSO @ 710/1750/2100.
Default voltage is 1.2875 and it tops out at 2880MHz at a 320Mhz fsb.
My question is which is faster before I go through the work of removing the cpu and pin modding to 1.4v. The actual painting the dots is easy, but removing the heatsink and cpu is a real pain in a Microfly, I have to take it halfway apart and I'm being lazy.
1. 2880MHz 320MHz fsb with memory at 5/4 @ 800MHz 4-4-4-12 (current)
2. 3150Mhz 350MHz fsb with memory at 1/1 @ 700MHz 4-4-4-12
Just a quick benchmark in Future Mark 06 shows the current speed of 2880MHz for the e6600 is about 2% faster then the previous e2180@3150MHz.
I know, not much difference and I suspect that either configuration 1 or 2 won't show much difference either. Gaming is the priority, not worried about other applications. Does a non 1/1 memory ratio give a performance penalty on Conroe?
