It still has 2 x 512mhz L2 cache and won't overclock anywhere near as good as the x2 5000 black cpu.
I thought his original inquiry was about a different 5000+, that might run cooler than the "Black Edition"! The "Black Edition" is 64 Watts and the Windsor is 89 Watts. I thought that's what he asked! Could be wrong though. LOL!!

Russ,he thought there was a 2x1mb L2 cache x2 5000 65nm black edition(which there isn't).
Only the black x2 6400 has the 2x1mb L2 cache.
The black 5000 x2 cpu's also have the new G2 stepping(the 90nm windsor are F3 stepping) which consume less power and will overclock higher on stock vcore.

I think I got bad results because I got the 122-CK-NF68-TR version and not the 122-CK-NF68-A1 and possibly on top of that I just got unlucky and got a bad board since it doesnt even hit 1333 and its rated for that, wish I RMA'd it while I still could, no longer have original packaging thanks to recylce prone parents. But maybe I'll just tell you guys how i went about ocing and hopefully i just screwed up.

I was only able to run my E4300 at 9x or 6x. Wouldn't work at all at 7x or 8x. I was able to get the fsb to just over 1500 and at 3.2GHz it was running at 1470MHz.
When I replaced the 4300 with the 6750, I was able to raise the fsb to 444 (1775MHz) for 3.384GHz. The problem could well be the CPU example you have. See my PM!

The new MB has arrived! Imagine my disappointment when it was Rev. 1.0. I sent an e-mail which was answered right away. They explained that the board I received had been a re-built rev. 1.0, but it incorporated all the changes that are in the Rev. 2.0 with the exception of the additional 4 USB ports, and there are 4 headers on the MB for an additional 8 ports. She also advised me that the specs have been changed for revision 1.0 and are identical to the Rev. 2.0, with the exception of the USBs and the printer and com port location. I've been asked to try it before they will go any further, so that's what I'm about to do! Hopefully it will not work like the old Rev. 1.0 and start re-booting over and over.
Wish me luck!

theonejrs,
I noticed no restart issue with Rev. 1.xx of P35C-DS3R, no different with that of the P35-DQ6 which only got picky during either high OC above 417FSB and resuming from S4 after a long sleap/Hibernate session.
This P35C is fine to FSB404 with ACPI function for each S3 & S4 (Stand By Hibernate). Above 450FSB S3 becomes a hit or miss and usually crashes and restarts like DQ6 and requiring you to re set manual OC of CPU and voltages, PCI-E etc. S4 resume appears to be fine up to 505 and iffy above 515FSB.
Let me know what kind of HIGH FSB you can get stable on this mobo (GA-P35C-DS3R). I'm leveling out at around 515, and just moving to 516 becomes unstable (at either 6x or 7x for my E6750.

"P4 Prescott Overclocks"
How many of us jumped on the Prescott Bandwagon in early '04 for the new fun high FSB overclocks on an Intel sytem. It seams like it came and went so quick never really had a chance to call one rig a "quote daily user" as upgrading was happening so fast and often.
I started on the P4 3.4E on ASUS P4C800-E DLX (!875P), moved to P4 540 on ASUS P5AD2 Deluxe, "very" quicklt the 550J on new revised P5AD2-E Premium.
I think they were fun for the time since we had not had such fun overclocking an Intel CPU on Intel chipset for so long. This was the beginning of Intel becoming the performance choice for overclocking again. And now look where we are. Will it remain this way for a lil' longer? Only time, or AMD, will tell.
Can I get some cool results from the forum regulars and newcomers as well?

NuckNFuts,
I'm up and running. First I went to 2.66, then 3.50 and then 3.6GHz. What voltage setting are you using for the CPU? I'm at 450x8 3.6GHz (1800 fsb) with no problems yet. Cpuz reports the CPU voltage as 1.44v but I have it set to 1.482v in the setup. I set the MCH to +2 and everything else to +1.
Any suggestions?
EDIT
I can get it to run at 3.55 perfectly, and it runs at 3.6, but I can't get it quite stable at that speed. I went up to 1.52v on the CPU but it just shutdown on the boot up. I'm 100% certain that it's not the memory as I've had it much higher before. The biggest difference was in the memory bandwidth. It's a lot fatter! The rest of the benches are a little better than they were with the old MB.
Still, it looks pretty good!
EDIT AGAIN!
Hit my first snag! Couldn't get the sound to work! I installed the SB Audiology card I was using before. Seemed to be working ok except that sometimes the computer would freeze up. Just lock solid. I finally noticed that it only happened if I used the Audio. I took out the SB card and decided to find out what the mystery was behind the HD Audio not working. The drivers were loaded but no sound. I opened the support DVD and discovered a folder marked Audio. Inside was an MS patch file which I ran! Presto instant sound! Simple enough. No more crashing either and the sound is superb!

theonejrs, I dont have to tell you every CPU is different, but it is the same for Mobos too. I saw this a lot with my old P4C800-E's
You see now this mobo has a large vdrop with no CPU-PLL, FSB Termination, or GTL-Ref control so we just have to tweak around it.
We also do not get to see what the afective overvoltages are or become.
I never had to set BIOS any higher then 1.47500 to get stable at 450x8. It did take close to 1.51v to get stable at 475x8 as 3.80 with vdrop bringing it daown to 1.46v loaded. I have the 3 month stable rig running as 3.50GHz as 500x7 w/ vcore of 1.43125v (BIOS) reported 1.39v CPU-Z/Everest, and drop to 1.36v 100% loaded. Mobo overvoltages (MCH, FSB, & PCI-E) need to be at least +0.2v from 450 ~ 505FSB to keep mobo stable using on Intel RAID controler ICH9R0. DRAM was/is set as needed ro whatever I use at the time for the DDR1000 in 1:1. Currently Crucial Tracers @ 4-3-4-9v w/ +0.3v. Since we also get no DRAM ref control, it bounces up as high to 2.34v but drop to as lil as 2.24v. 2.34v is fine since they are air cooled w/ tri-fan set from Doninators.
What other "Extreme Tweaker" settings have you adjusted?
I did have to go full +.03v on all mobo volts to keep stable at 515FSB w/ 7x. I ran mine for testing with tight timings w/ MCH & FSB to +0.3v and PCI-E to +0.2v and DRAM to +0.3v.
ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA SE I finally got some time to play on my 2 week new system and it is doing nice so far. Just wanna finish tweaking to see how much further I do get for the money spent. I do wish I waited for the P5E WS Pro as I had loving experience with my past work station boards from ASUS since my recent P5WDG2-WS Pro.
Clock On!

Enlighten me! What's the advantage to running a lower multiplier? Would I be better off running a x7 multiplier with a 515MHz fsb to try and get to 3.6GHz? That would put me on a 2057MHz fsb! My big problem with the voltage! The bios will not allow me to set it higher than 1.50v. If I go 1 step above 1.50v the bios resets. At 1.50v, Everest reports 1.46v. Do you recommend that I up the voltages to +2 or +3?
I think it says a lot that the processor runs out of steam at exactly the same settings as it did on the 965P. It makes me more inclined that I've about reached my limit with this chip. This MB would run at 3.6GHz but the 965P wouldn't. I just can't get it stable, although I haven't pushed all the voltages up. Everythings set to +1 except the MCH which is set to +2!
Let me know what you think, please!
Best Regards,
Russ

theonejrs, overvolting the mobo to +0.2v is a start (especially the FSB since this is what needs more juice to get above 425. 400 at +.1 or "AUTO" is fine but you're gona need that +.2 for stability under load.
What RAM and timings have you tested with this same RAM to refference with? A vcore of 1.47500v set in BIOS should give you something close to 1.42v in CPU-Z and 1.4v loaded. I would try your 3.6GHz as 450x8 since I didnt find this mobo to be so stable over 515FSB.
So interesting to see it was just the mobo for me. Cause moving the same CPU to the X38 ASUS returned the same CPU results but with overall added smoothness.
It may be the CPU as well. I want an E6850 and wonder if I will get the same as early rev. But looks like almost all the E6850's do 4GHz so not so risky I guess. 4.2GHz on the otherhand is gonna be hit or miss from CPU to CPU.
Good Luck! Keep us osted!

I have G.Skill cas4 PC6400, 2x1GB. It seems to run best at 5-4-4-12 with a very fat memory bandwidth. Even though it's running the same speed as it did in the 965P, it's faster at everything!

Happily all the Exx50s have G0 stepping so it shouldn't be a problem. Considering I ran out of gas at the same exact speed on both motherboards with the 6750, I think the chip itself is the limiting factor.
I have to say that I am pleased with the results. I hope Sam has as good a luck as I've had with his P35C-DS3R. I just ran SuperPi 1.5 32M. Looks good!
I know what you mean by smooth. When I was running at 3.6GHz, it was snappy but somewhat disjointed. At 3.55 it's as smooth as smooth can be.

Just thought I would jump in before this becomes the "theonejrsnucknfuts" thread!!!ROFL!!!
Only joking guys!!!
Russ congrats on the results with your new gear.
Your super PI time for 32 Iterations is nice:)
Just curious if you or Nucknfuts can do a little experiment for me?
Can you try running super PI 1m iterations at stock speed then run it again at 400mhz o/clock,then run it again at 800mhz o/clock and then again at you current speeds and let me know the results???
If you can,I will do a comparison with some early Phenom CPU benches Iv'e seen and the way they scale with an increase in mhz.
Thanks guys!!!
Regards,Crowy.
P.S....Russ,Congrats on becoming an official Gigabyte fanboy!!LOL!!
P.S.... Nucknfuts,
Looking forward to see some benches for that black cpu of yours..
Cheers Guys.
Nearly forgot!!!

I have a few profiles for testing, let me know if this is what you are asking.
My lowest, prelim install is a 400x8 @ 1.28v as DDR800. My next and daily for everyday work load is a nice 500x7 @ 1.38v in 1:1 as DDR1000 @ 4-4-4-12 (the 12 apears to be or feel more snapier then the 9).
I haven't ran this at stock cince new months back on an abit IP-35 Pro. These E6750's are so snappy, they perform like a new 1600FSB CPU. My 2nd model works in full ACPI auto mode with S4/S4 at a daily 500x7, my GA-P35C-DS3R faied S3 rssume after 425FSB or so. I'll give it a try for test results for you and others to see when I get a free moment. Stay tuned!
theonejrs, I'm really suprised on the limit of your CPU or mobo since I have the same test set. Although, I was told by some that newer rev of this CPU have more voltage holes or just not as goo an OC'r as 1st bins. What is your batch# of your E6750 and rev. of P35C-DS3R for refference?

I don't see anything like a batch number. I'm not concerned at all. This morning I took my 6750 over to a friends house and he has a Commando MB. I didn't tell him anything but just asked him to see what he gets out of the chip? 3552MHz! That's 3 motherboards that show the exact same limits. All will let it run at 3.6 but no matter what you turn on or set, it will still only be about 98% stable. I think that it's just my particular CPU's limit! I wouldn't have run it at 3.6 for everyday use anyway, so 3.552 works fine for me. Noticeably faster than the E4300 at 3.2GHz and noticeably faster than the same chip was in my 965P-DS3 at the same speed. You can torture it with anything you want and it's like a Timex! Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin! LOL!! Mid 40Cs while encoding with RB/CCE 2 pass. I noticed that the MB temp goes up and down quicker, much like the CPU temp used to do. The MB temp hit 55C running Orthos for 12 hours. When I stopped it, the MB temp dropped to 30C like a brick! Mid to high 20s for the cores at idle. Mid 40s running Orthos. The AS5 is starting to set on the Northbridge Heatsink and I was very careful not to disturb it when I removed the 6750 this morning.
I know you will understand this because of what you said about "smooth"! It feels like an "Old Friend" already! Very comfortable to use. I think I am going to enjoy this build very much! I'm looking forward to the 45nm Penryn in the future!
Anyway, what I wound up with was a "new" Rev 1.0 MB! The new means that mine is a modified Rev. 1.0 re-built to Rev. 2.0 specs. You even get the IHC9R Southbridge which the original Rev. 1.0 lacked so you have the 45nm chips covered.
When I got it I e-mailed GigaByte right away. In less than 5 minutes I got an e-mail asking me to at least try it first and went on to explain that the only difference is the amount of USB ports on the back and that mine has a printer port and a com port instead of headers on the MB. She told me to go look on their site and I would see that the specs are now identical for both revisions! Since I need a printer port for my "Antique" Mustek 600III EP Plus scanner that I use maybe 6 times a year, I decided to install the new MB. Glad that I did!

I haven't heard anything of this before now. Is this what Gigabyte rep stated? I never had a P35 based mobo w/o a ICH9/ICH9R south bridge SATA controlller. Also this will have little to do with the 45nm support. That support lies directly in the P35 NB chipset itself.

I moved mine so many times in the past few months it is truely a mobile CPU now, Lol! the early model I have from bk in July is doing the same. It is topping out at 4GHz (1.55v) (500x8 needs fine tuning), 3.50GHz (1.38v) @ 500x7 (butter zone). No matter what good mobo I put it on so far 4GHz is it at 8x and 515x7/6 seams to be the ceailing for my core, 1st one can do 516x6 or 7x.
As you know, I used Origionally on ASUS P5K Deluxe, moved to Abit IP-35 Pro, Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R & ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA SE. my 2nd one was parked in Abit AW9D MAX while waiting or X38 and did not do too god on that mobo.
So for me too, each mob returned the simular OC in terms of clock and volts used but only difference being performance of overall system. It does best so far on the 2 ASUS and beautifully in the "butter zone" on X38 as the mobo itself needs very little overvoltage to get it smooth and acxtually runs so much cooler then previous !975X and my P35 mobos on stock ASUS cooling w/o water yet. MB: 30c, CPU: 21C Cores 1&2: 31c/31c @ 3.50GHz @ 1.38v as 500x8.
Clock On!

I swear, I don't know where my brains are. I meant Raid! That's what the "R" stands for in ICH9R. If it don't have the "R", there's no Raid! LOL!! What's really strange is that on the P35-DS3L, it still has the ICH9R, but no Raid! Strange!
I really like how this computer works. It's about 5-6% faster than the 6750 was with the 965P at the same given speed. I'm sure some of this has to do with the much wider fsb with the P35 since the processor speeds are identical. I'm happy with it and I'm gonna leave it alone. Should do me for a while until the Penryn prices go down!

OK, well it's been an interesting few days. Our internet service has been cut off at our house (again) for a while so I'll have to be making posts rather sporadically again.
The new motherboard is installed, and what a difference!
As soon as I figured out that I had to set the memory multiplier (lol imagine RAM at 1.3Ghz, fat chance!) I could get straight to 3.15Ghz, and at 1.39V as well. This has upped my 3dmark to 6867, I haven't run any other benchmarks. Interestingly enough, despite the higher speed my CPU obviously draws less power now, as my Power supply is far quieter, and my CPU temps have dropped a good 5C using the same cooler. At minimum fan speeds the full load temp is a mere 41.
The chipset must also be at least 20C cooler than the hothouse on the P5N-E too, such that I'm no longer worried about it.
Interestingly enough, my board puports to be revision 1.1.
It does have the 4 USB ports with headers for an additional 8, and has the 8 SATA ports on it, but yet isn't revision 2 like I thought. What could the difference be between 1.1 and 2.0?
Unfortunately at the moment, even with increased voltages, optimised or manual settings, I can't really break above 3.2Ghz and it be stable (crashes during 3dmark), but nonetheless I'm happy. I've got a full 75% CPU overclock, lower temps, lower noise, and my USB works again! hooray!
It's also hilarious to see just how much faster my PC is with a clean install of XP...

Functionally there is no difference as I discovered with the Rev. 1.0 they sent me. They've all been reworked to Rev. 2.0 specs, and the new specs are posted on their website. The only weird one is the DS3L! It has the ICH9R, but no Raid! I'm inclined to believe that 3.2GHz is about the E4300's limit. I've seen very few go higher, and all of those were the original with the B stepping. Same way with my E6750. I've run it on the 965P-DS3, the P35-DS3R and my Friend's Commando. They all run out of gas at 3.552GHz. I have to believe, given the fact that all 3 MBs hit the exact same speed that I've hit the chips limit. All would run the E6750 at 3.6GHz but none would pass Orthos for 12 hours at that speed. At 3.552, it's perfect!
I find it a bit strange that there is no CPU temp, but just the two cores. I did notice that the Northbridge heats and cools a lot faster, more like the way the CPU temp used to do! I had run Orthos for 12 hours and noticed that the minute I stopped it the MB temp dropped from 52-55C to 30C in about 10 seconds. The AS5 has almost cured and the MB temp has dropped to 27C at idle.

Other then on box or mobo, where or what app can report the revision? I did find it as shown way bk (turns out it is also on box label). I have rev. 1.1 and it does have the 2x com ports and 4x USB on I/O.
I have not used for a few eeeks to see if the newer BIOS can stablize it out at my DDR2-1200 on 5:6 devider from 500xx7 or 8. My ASUS has a new BIOS fix for the same thing on x38 DDR2 compatibility with DDR2-1200 use but not sure what devider is best. Right now I can do DDR2-1100 as 459x8 and it is stable so cant wait to see how DDR2-1200 is.
theonejrs, Remember I mentioned my Everest Corporate and Pro v4.00.975 did not read info correctly. The Corporate gave no notice but the Pro clearly stated from the web update that the P35 or x38 have no official support yet and took a hardware refference from me to use. I am using the v4.10.1152 beta and it shows that what I thout was my MB is actually my CPU and the cores are the same but now reports a MB temp + vdim. I did confirm this on ASUS Probe and it matches except for the +12v wich appears to show as under -3v and the fan sensors dont match so just do the finger test to see wich slow if touched to use as a refference.

I guess I'll have to get the new 4.20 version of Everest as it's made for the P3x chipsets. Mine reads everything fine except the Silenx fan shows 4500 rpm and it's supposed to be 3000, and my 12v reads anywhere from 1.05v to 5.06v, and the CPU/MB temp with no shown CPU temp! Weird!

hey whats up guys hope you remember me. If not oh well. Anyways i'm
finally going to build a pc and do my first overclock. Now when we first discussed this on the AMD VS INTEL forum i was going to go with
the c2d 6600 at $250 but it seems a bunch of others processors are out at decent prices. This is my question which chip should i go with now in the $200-280 price range. Thanks in advance for your input
Case=Antec Lanboy, Psu=Corsair HX620, Mobo=GA-X58A-UD5,Ram=Gskill 1600Mhz 3x2gigs,Cpu=I7 950 4Ghz,Cpu Cooler= EK 240 Water Kit,Gpu=HD6870x2,Eyefinity Set up,Ssd=Gskill Phoenix Pro 120gb

At the lower part of your price range, go with the E6750. On the higher end go with the E6850. There really isn't anything in between, at least not in terms of performance for the dollar! Just be sure you put it in a P35 or higher MB.
I can tell you first hand that the difference in performance between an E6750 in my GA-965P-DS3 motherboard and my new GA-P35-DS3R board is about 5-6% at the same CPU speed. if you look back a few posts you will see my benchmarks and SuperPi score. That pretty much will say it all. the E6850 would perform even better. I highly recommend the GigaByte GA-P35-DS3R or if you feel the need to go to DDR3 the GA-P35C-DS3R.

i have to say those 2 picks from NewEgg are good choices. And whould depend on how you want to overclock and for what you will do with it after.
I used only the Q6600 but a E6750 next to it and they are all great. For the high clock MHz guys and gamers alike, it's the E6850 for shure. for high bandwidth w/ CPU/mobo FSB and good price, go for the E6750 and enjoy, gain OC experience till a god 45nm $$$ cime dowan like the rest of us are waiting. But if media encoding/transcoding and great number cruncher and a fair balance of med high FSB and good clock spd, go for a E6600. They can hit 500FSB and reach 4GHz if you get a good one, but put out more heat then any 6x50 to keep it there.
2 of us here use a E6750 and I baught in 1ts week when $$ was god and batch #s were great cause I got 2 of mine to 4GHz Prime95 v25.5 stable as 500x8 @ 1.55v @ 57c+67c/66c (CPU+cores) Prime max CPU stress.
I was gonna get the E6850 when only $249 few months ago and got a deal on E6750 for $189. loved it and kept it and got one morea month later.
As mentioned, the mobo and chipset will make or break the higher overclocks so it's up to how much you wana spend. One may be hapy with a E6750 on a $260+ ASUS or DQ6 of X38 series
Good luck.

NuckNFuts, maybe I have asked you this before, but what do you do with all those PCs? Sell them?
