mine will sit at 410x8 (1600fsb) all day and has booted 440x6 (1760fsb) with my ram at 820 and 880 respectfuly.
I only have the second best stepping and I haven't seen or heard of any with that stepping getting past 377MHz which is just a tick below 3.4! I understand that the newest stepping won't OC worth a hoot! I would guess you either have the B1 stepping or got a very well binned L!
With mine, anything above 377MHZ and it gives a black screen. I tried it in increments of 1 all the way to 444MHz and all you get is no post and a lot of complaining from the speaker on the MB. I'm going to get a chance to find out as I am building an E6420/GA-965P-DS3 for a customer as fast as the parts can get here. I've tried all the multipliers with no success. I even tried the D-940 in it and had no difficulties getting past 400MHz.
The way this baby runs, I'll leave well enough alone before I hurt something. I know I can give it more voltage and get it to 3.4, but I'm not willing to exceed 1.40v for anything! My numbers are good, temps are excellent and I'm more than happy with my DVDRB/CCE times. To be honest, it's given me more than I expected knowing from the go that I didn't have the original B1 stepping. At least it's not the latest one! LOL!!
Happy Computering,

L2 mine, FPO# Q641A286
i cant really complain about my results as i have found my max @ 3.3ghz but im not 100% sure that its my cpus limit, as although some reviews have shown my mobo to hit 2100fsb other reviews of store bought samples have said they too have only been able to hit 3.3/3.4ghz.
i think alot of it comes down to the batch as with every revision there has been good batches and bad ones. i think every one who has bought a c2d has expected to get the same oc as those who have been lucky with their batch and then when a bad batch hits the shelves and sombody cant hit 3.6ghz its the end of the world and they all no longer oc.

i took this same mentality to the quad-cores! LOL, i can't hit 3.6ghz on my Q6600 so i've given up!, seems 3.4ghz stable is the best i can do at this point w/ my given choice of components (eVGA 680i A1 revision w/ P28 BIOS) guess i'll have to wait for a newer bios in the future~ :) or get a better CHIP! hehe

i've paid a LOT more for AMD x2's (4400+ @ $460) when they first came out and even $350 for my opty 185 early last year. prices have since plummeted, but i have no regrets on the AMD front, it was good tech. at the time and i wanted it badly enough to fork over the green (no pun intended) :)

Wow, great deal on that 4400. I dropped closer to $600.00 for mine and after the let down of my Intel D results for the money spent. It was the newer 89w rev so it was worth it as for now, my AMD was finally the cooler running OD'd rig in the room. I was open to new ideas. This was my long time come back to AMD after several years. I ran this 4400 at various OC's over the past 18 months and is still serving strong today daily at 2.85/1142HT @ 1:1 DDR571

hey buddy,
i wish i could go phase, however, i don't personally feel confident in my assembly/install skills to try something that involves refrigeration at this point. i can build "normal" computers with the best of them, but anything more advanced than water-cooling intimidates me! lol
i don't have any tools nor experience to really "ultra-mod" any of the hardware i own or could purchase (basic mobo mods are a given and i perform them on every mobo i come into contact with, but anything more than that, that involves cutting, sawing, sautering, etc. i have no idea where to begin or end) :)
i think the idea of sub zero temps while great for my cpu, makes me feel uneasy working so close to it (should there be a leak of some sort). i guess even i have my limits as to how far i will go with building and OC'in PCs :) i wish i were as adventurous and confident as BigDK in going the phase route, i gotta "grow a pair" before i reconsider going phase in the near future LOL

Anytime you really want to give up, I would sure like to try one of them in my new MB!!! Hell, the board is made for it, native 1333 FSB and all and the bios supports it! I'de like to take a whack at it with my "mentality" and see what the 965P Express chipset can do with it! ROFLMAO!!!! Just keep me in mind if you ever get tired enough of it!
Now if you will excuse me while I go and punish myself for those thoughts................

It would be interesting to see how they overclock, I hadn't ever considered getting one in the future because I presumed they wouldn't overclock as well as Duos, but if that's not the case, who knows?

obviously the intel quad cores aren't very OC friendly. if doc can't get more than 3.4ghz outa his Q6600 on water with an EVGA 680i mobo and all other top notch components, then I seriously doubt many others can.

Quad Core
Haven't you guys notice by now since the birth of Conroe that higher FSB wins over high clock with good OC? my E6600 as 3.4GHz @ 475x but 1900FSB is better then 3.78 as only 420FSB. 3.4GHz might be fine, but at what FSB? Let me know if anybody can hit 500FSB at any multi with one and I'll be interested. From what I'm seeing so far, not likely to happen on the nVidia chipset. Or at least nobody is reporting as such. Let's drop a E6300 and see if the nF680i can do 100% FSB like P5B & P5W-DH.

Ok peeps, sorry to keeps pestering, payday has arived so its time to buy the last thing on my list and get my new ram!
Should I get 800mhz or 1066 because my board only supports 6400 ram but 'underclocking it has been spoken of?
After what speed is decided to I get corsair dominator or ocz reaper? Im only going to get 2x 1mb sticks as Ive been told NOT to use all four ram slots?
Also, my cpu (E6600) has been delivered with L629F code but it says the packing date was January this year??? Is that good or bad?

Doc's getting about a 41% OC, and his starting point stock is 2.4GHz, so he's upped it one whole GHz! I can't see much cause for complaint there. For a high end chip like that I would think you anyone consider that very OC friendly. To get to that speed on my 4300 would make it an 89% OC for mine. I think we're getting spoiled and a bit fooled by the percentages. It still boils down to how much work the processor can do in a given amount of time. The rest is window dressing!

quick edit: as I mentioned already, both chipsets you chose are good for 2000FSB so dont worry bout "BOX" rated, these are JEDEC standards
(used by mobo and memory industry to refference)

For stock CPU users, it is already the best 1:2 till 1333 get popular.
And if you are not wanting to OC to far, then "YES" you can always underclock and the 1066 for tighter timings at same vdim.

JEDEC Standards
These are the mobo/RAM industry follows to make sure you the consomer gets the rated performance out of your product. In other words, the RAM & mobo and chipset have been tested at this "rated" spd to be compatible. If not for JEDEC, we'd have every mobo co. claiming highest possible to win sales but lots of unhappy customers who cant understand the need to OC with high FSB RAMs.
Remember DDR400? That has always been the JEDEC standard and even though we see DDR1 600, it is and must still conform to DDR400 JEDEC specs to work at rated spd, and then be OC'd to marketed spd. Thats how we got DDR600 1:1 out of the !875P Canterwood and nF2 mobos. Thats also why we have to have the RAM module SPD Programed setting. Cause lesser mobos don't know what to do w/ low lat timings and some IC's on the RAM are clocked too high to start that low of DDR400 SPD. In DDR2 we saw this when the 1st CL3 came to. Lots of mobos could not boot as CL3.
Just soem info for you to read.
Good luck!

i see what your saying, and i know the feeling, each chip has its own limits and there is no point wasting time constantly trying to get over that wall. thats not the point i was making, just because yours wont hit...say 3.8ghz it doesnt mean that all those that are saying theirs does are talking bulls**t does it. i have seen some reports by others saying they have hit those speeds with my cpu but mine stops at 3.3ghz i still belive that theirs hit those speeds and that they were luckier or wiser with their componants.

theone,
yes the earlier C2D's did spoil us. you have to remember and consider that doc is using water cooling to achieve 3.4ghz on his Q6600. on air that same cpu would probably be capable of around 3.0ghz or a little faster which is still impressive but no where near what the early C2D's were capable of.
I shouldn't have said they're not OC friendly but rather they're not as OC friendly as we have gotten used to with the pre malasia made C2D's.

marsey99,
Maybe what I said, "BS" was a little strong. Perhaps I should have said "I doubt it"! You won't get "3.7GHz" or "Doubled stock speed" with an E4300. Temperature is not the issue, the limiting factor is the 4300 won't run on a doubled 800MHz (1600MHz) FSB which is what you would have to run in order to hit 3.6GHz, at least with an L2. That's why I may consider an E6420, as it will run at those speeds.

Calling all E6300 owners. Who here was using an older E6300 or maybe the E6400? I no longer have mine to test on newer nF950i or 680 for FSB ceiling hight test. I wann aknow if the nVidia chipsets can handle 500+ FSB and to date, only me early E6300was able to hit a 100$ FSB OC but what about on an nVidia? CAn anybody speak for it or have links to reviews to read? Are the newer batch E6300 today gonna be the same situation as the rvisd 6600 or what about th E6700?

Well I finally got off my dead butt and modded the NB heat sink. I deliberately let it get good and warm in here (82-83F/27-28C) and ran Prime95 for 1/2 hour. A couple of degrees higher on the CPU to 53C and a max of 38C for the MB. Once the AS5 cures, both should drop a couple of degrees C! Lot of damn work just to get a heat sink off! LOL!! It's bothered me from the begining though so I finally got tired of seeing 40C when things warm up so now it's done. I suspect after a couple of weeks I'll be looking at 29 for the CPU at idle and 34-35C for the MB. I also took the opportunity to clean all the dust off the fan blades, so it's even quieter yet!

Don't pass out now and take a deep breath, but here's the temps now at my normal 77-78F, or about 25C.
I guess the effort was worth it! And just think, once the AS5 cures they will be even a bit lower!

E6600 new rev
Hey guys, I got a question if you can spare a few moments to reply. Now i hear a lot of the new rev E6600's being god for at least 3.4GHz but is this at the lower multi of 6 or 7? I got used of 3.4 at nearly 495FSB so if so, then this is fine for me. I now for mine E6600 old rev. it can hit 3.8 on 9x but not so high clock as the FSB is raised and multi lowered. 495x6 barely was stable to use for basic apps but not to go in and out of ACPI power management modes S3/S4. What have you guys notice between the upper highest clock at 9x v/s the max SB at 6 or 7X?

**NuckNFuts**
I got the asus comando.
The reason why I said under clock 8500 ram is because the board only supports pc6400 max and I didnt know how it would react with 8500 in there. Its just the ram to go before clocking for the first time, Ive treid to get good quality parts to help things along, Id Like 3.4ghz+ Ill also invest in water if it means more reliability.
I am admitantly a complete newbie at this game and thats why I am here!
