BigDK,
I can never remember, you got too much going on, are you only using the stock hsf from your E6600 on your E4300? Regardless, I am impressed.

@sam
i hope to be going the same route in the next couple of months(my kids keep eating my wallet) but i will be putting the e4300 in one of these it has been proven to push this cpu as far as any other mobo. i wont be using it for its sli tho.
@mort
yes bigdk used the e6600 hsf on it, good going that.
@bigdk
is there much difference between the 2 stock hsf's?

If the Commando had an IDE port on it, then I would have chosen that, but Asus seem to be steering away from IDE, which is a shame, as I'm not about to throw away my Plextor PX-716A drive yet.
That was another reason I chose the P5N-E SLI! It has 2 IDEs on it and I like my 3 optical drive set-up! I've been following that MB's progress in overclocking forums and it does quite well overclocking the 4300, the 6300 and the 6600! Time will tell!
Happy Computering,

The difference it heat sinks between the E4300 and E6600 is quite small, but the E6600 heatsink is about 1cm thicker.
It didn't appear to be any wider or any difference in the fan size, although as soon as I'd confirmed it was beefier I just went with it.
You can see performance differences in the E4300 and E6600 both running at 3.6, maybe its the cache, another point to note is the amount of voltage the E4300 takes to get to 3.6, over 1.6V is required for stability.
When I get the SATA drive fitted, I'll run some comparison tests between the E6600 and the E4300 with both set to 3.6GHz.
Obviously there will be slight differences with the mobo chipsets, but I'll concentrate on CPU and memory tests only with both setups running at DDR800 and like for like timings.

So then P5N-E SLi or GA-965P-DS3? Or any other board for that matter...

I can't see much to choose between those 2 boards at all.
They are both now capable of reaching 500fsb with the right settings and memory.
They have both had memory issues, which seem to have been addressed now, but as long as you intend to use DDR800 capable of good settings 4-4-4-12, then at least you'll get 400fsb, which if used with the E4300 will still give a nice 100% OC.
If you think that SLi is something you're likely to use then the Asus board is the way to go, however with the capabilities of the newer cards, I can't see too much need for SLi.
The only other issue is the D3 rev 3.3 has support for the next Intel CPUs with the 1333FSB which is something to consider as well.
Personally I prefer Asus BIOS layout to Gigabyte, but thats because I'm used to it I suppose.

I've gone with the Asus boards for a couple of reasons, but I'm aiming for around the 3Ghz mark rather than 100%, with PC6400 CAS5 Corsair XMS2 as I posted in the other thread.

the reason the asus is on my shopping list atm is because of the layout more than the sli, which i dont think i will use, its 2 pcix8 when enabled too.
i like the way they have placed the ide and sata ports, which for me, will make my cabling a whole lot easier.
add to this i dont like the colour scheme on the gigibyte. its pluses are the extra pci and sata's but i dont think i will ever need them.
from what i have seen/read both will get you to 3ghz with no trouble.
right im off putting my overclock back up.

The P5N-E SLI has the 1333FSB as well as the 1066 so it's ready for the Quad-Core!

I am looking at the 8800gts...what do you think about the...
EVGA 320-P2-N815-AR GeForce 8800GTS SUPERCLOCKED...
VS...
EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS STANDARD CLOCK...
Same Price...$269.00 after $30.00 rebate...thinking 2...so I can play with SLI...I know its not really necessary for games...but would not mind comparing SLI to CROSSFIRE...first hand...

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help tweak my computer up by overclocking it to a peak.
This is all the information I could find and I don't know if more is needed.
I have an emachines so I am practically stuck as I cant change the fsb etc in the bios but I was wondering if some other people know how to.
Processor: AMD athlon64 3500+
Voltage: 1.4V (I dont think this matters as I cant change it anyway)
Core Speed: 2188.9 MHZ
Multiplier: X11.0
FSB bus speed: 199 MHZ
Motherboard: MSI MS-7093
Clock Generator: ICS952505
HT link: 796MHZ
All the data above was obtained by CPU-Z and info given in my manual. I was wondering if someone can post a step by step guide to do this.
Thank You

As that board has no option in the bios to change voltage, fsb speed or multiplier your not going to get any extra performance out of it.

Yeah I realise that but is there any programs that will allow me to change the fsb during windows operating like using cpufsb etc.
I can't use cpufsb because it does not contain my motherboard code.
I thought of this after watching the following clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piYv_HdOWUg

Even if there were, your motherboard probably won't be stable enough to support the overclock anyway, and I don't expect your RAM or PSU will be up to scratch if they're stock with an emachines system.

i use the coolbits regedit on my 7600gt.
edit
you could try clockgen on your emachine but you are limited bt the fact you cannot increase the voltage to your cpu.

ASUS M2N32-SLI Premium v/s Crosshair For FX-60. I Started my venture into the AMD AM2 late last yr with the new 65w X2 4200+ on the ASUS Crosshair for a trial run and seam to like it but wanna know what overclocking benifits I can gain by moving to the M2N32-SLI. I slso wanna know if anybody here is having any good results with OC'n the FX-60 on air on either of the 2 mobos I mentioned. I'd like to move to the FX for gaming but wanna kow if the 110 ~ 125w versions get too hot to OC on air with the Zalman CNPS9700-LED. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Thats probably because your board is locked.
BIOS or Windows, which ever way you want to do it, you are adjusting the adjustable, if the mobo was made with no way to do it, you can't do it.
Hence my earlier statement about you not being able to do it.
