Yea, I wouldn't ever have considered one until now. I like it.

I'm concluding that either my CPU is just a cripple, or somehow the memory is holding me (cpu and cpu-nb) back, which I can test the latter by chuckin the Nanya 1066 back in. I'd leave it at 1066 too, I wouldn't OC it back to 1780

@ TheMailMan.. Your motherboard sucks. Others I've seen with that board need excess voltage to overclock. You need a CrossHair IV and some Micron D9 (high voltage) DDR3. Darwin is selling some Crucial Ballistix cas 6 1.8v stuff (I use the stuff) and it's excellent. There's also another chap on this forum selling some OCZ Micron D9's for $75 bucks which is a total deal.

I thanked this post for the sole reason of you saying "chap" in it. made my day happy halloween.

Well it seems like the Reaper w/ D9s @ 1333 6-6-6-15 1T (and all other timings default motherboard for 1066) with 1.772v is stable. Just played some old as Dirt Track Racing, then some far more system intensive TrackMania United-Forever with Crossfire (to be fair DTR was using CF as well haha). No problems...

CPU-NB and HT @ 2200 helped bandwidth pick up some slack. CPU-NB @ 2200 brought it up in MaxxMEM (which calcs it oddly) from around 6.8GB/s to aroun 7.6GB/s, and then the HT @ 2200 brought it up further I think to around 8.9GB/s (or mid 8s). My best 1600 6-6-6 1Tscore was only in the lower 9-9.2GB/s area. It's the write score that 1333 was hampering the most, and primarily what the NB and HT brought up some.

I did everything I could to get 2.8GHz CPU-NB to even POST, but no dice. Dropped the memory to DDR3-800, drop the HT down, dropped the CPU speed down below 2GHz, set stuff to idle... Same thing with DDR3-1800, just won't do it :\ Not just the OCZ either, the NANYA as well... I didn't test inbetween 1780 and 1800 on the Nanya, but 1780 ran w/o a single hiccup and then 1800 just pukes all over >_>

I hate this CPU lol I see AMD snuck out the X3 740 BE @ 3GHz, but didn't even mention it on their Product site o_0 Tray it's only $88 at newegg! Don't know what stepping it is though.
C A C Y C A C

I thought C A C A C A C was "C3"? (or something)

In 11mins, at midnight... This laptop will get crippled to all hell, and running Vantage to try and beat that 11 score =} I have faith, giving I let it run some of the first demo and after 1min 7s, it had rendered a total of 6 frames lol

Raise the timings, give it more voltage, give the memory controller more voltage? I don't know how Intel works so I can't help ya :\ Sorry!

heh No problem. I know there's like another thing to try, but I can't remember it's name. QDI voltage, or QPI... *shrug* I remember it has a Q in it haha

So Vantage took 6hrs to finish on the laptop... It did so bad that it didn't get a score! WINNARRRR!!

Damn, I can get my trusty E8500 to 9.9GHz 24/7 without too much trouble, but 10Ghz just won't work.

What should I do?

I assume it was his sarcasm to your troll above his reply. Also Pro Choice refers to abortion

You need an Absolute-Zero Phase-Change cooling setup. I thought that was common knowledge to get C2Duos to 10ghz?

No sarcasm. I had no idea what he was talking about.

Frankly, Mailman's response sounds like quite a nasty comment to my little bit of humour.

what you see as humor I see as trolling, and I meant TMM was being sarcastic. If you care to continue this, feel free to hit my PM box, lets let these fellas enjoy their thread.

Sure, no problem, no need for PM's, but thanks. I was only making a bit of humour and the last thing I want is a pointless flamewar due to some difference in sense of humour.

That's it from me on this one.

Hey, no problem.

Misunderstandings can be quite easy with the written word and tends to result in people getting all indignant, flames, moderators and infractions, that's why I tend to go overboard with the smileys and the thanks button.

System Specs

An EVGA 680i SLI SE and a Core 2 Extreme QX6700. The 680i SE (TR version) was specifically designed for Core 2 Duo overclocking and didn't advocate using quad on it, it was even printed on the box that it can't overclock quads for shit. At the time it was the cheapest version of the 680i boards you could get so i ran with it and didn't realize what was so crap about it that warranted the price. In the end it didn't phase me much though, at least it supported the chip even with limited overclocking. On that board i ran the QX6700 (stock 2.66GHz) at around 3.2GHz thanks to the unlocked multiplier, so at least i got somewhere with it.

And uhhh, i have an AMD Athlon 3200+ and some random MSI m-ATX board that have zero overclocking features. I didn't care when i built the system, but when i eventually wanted to i found out there was no way to bump the core speed up. I still have that system sitting around though.

Im not a crappy or even unlucky overclocker per se...just pretty impatient. If a bench fails like twice I get sick of messing with it. As such, I don't mess around with sub zero. At least on my own.
