Took my E6600 out of my DS3 c1 mobo to test my E6400....Now along comes my S3 mobo which was intended for the E6400. So I decided what the heck throw the E6600 in.....
At 3.4ghz 1.47v actual it dual orthos stable and only hits temps of 52c (core temp says 58c).....
Before I was only able to hit 3.26ghz @ 1.46v actual and the temps hit near 58c in orthos and core temp said like near 70c. I have noticed the DS3 temps are wider spread using easy tune then the S3 mobo when comparing to core temp.
Also before I could not get 3.33ghz stable even at 1.5v.
Ram is different in this board but I tested same speed on the DS3 using 3 different sets of sticks and there was no different. i was successfully able to isolate the ram with loose timings that it didn't effect the cpu...I kept ram at loose timings at first but then turned the ratio to 2.5x and I am currently running ram ay 945ddr2 with cas 5-5-5-15 using Ballistix PC2-6400 sticks
Other differences....
1) I used AS5's website to find directions on how to apply for dual core....No longer one dab in the center...It is apply a bead in a line in the direction of the cores under the IHS....May have made a big difference casue my temps of my E6400 are very low as well...
2) Both have OCZ 600 watt Powerstream PSUs, but the one with the S3 shows stronger 12v rail with little movement though 3.3v rail is a tad lower....
3) The DS3 has the supposedly better Ninja Scythe w/ 120mm fan while the S3 and the E6600 has the scythe Mine with 100mm fan.

E6400@3.43ghz 1.46v /DS3 = 40c (51c coretemp)
E6600@3.4ghz 1.47v /S3 = 40c (48c coretemp)
E6300@3.43ghz 1.47v /S3 = 49c (58c coretemp)
Overall very happy with the E6600....Now I have 3 different cpus all OC'd within 30mhz of one another at near identical voltages....
GUess I will sell the E6300 (runs the hottest) to pay for my QX6700 ES I just got for 650 dollars!!!!! :Q
