hmmm, watercooled, with a DS3... nice combo :)

It will be interesting to see how my E6400 compares to you guy's overclocks. Aparently they're better overclockers, but you need a good board that can take over 500mhz fsb to get the most out of them. Damn that lower multiplier :p

my conroe shows under 1,518 (or something^^)
and 3,6 gig a 62 degree under 15 hours prime

Screenshots too please. =)

Not that I don't believe you, but that's pretty incredible to post without screenies.

Looks nice, I hope you are able to achieve these speeds. It will be something for the rest of us (me) to aim for... So far the highest I can get stable is 3.3GHz @ 412 x 8...

don´t you guys think Increasing Vcore about 0,3v on 65nm is kind of insane? o_O

We dont know how the C2D behaves to SNDS but i would step gently towards that topic... ;)

PS:C2D E6300 running 3,5ghz @1,344v load ... dualprime stable :)

No problem for me either. Running BOINC at 3.6 24/7 watercooled. Temps never above 36C Probe and 52C TAT.

Well my final results are 3.36GHz (420x8) @ 1.33v and 5c idle 18c dual prime. Using active water chiller.

I suppose the other guy couldn't back up the e6600 3.6GHz stable claim. :rolleyes:

you should be able to push the vcore way higher, with those awsome temperatures you could likely hit 4ghz. 1.5v should be fine ;)

its called vdroop so your board has a voltage drop about 0.04

No, that's called inaccurate software readings.

I get the same results all the way up to vMHC 1.8v.

The board is a more expensive and stable version of the P5W DH Deluxe, so i dont think thats the problem. I think its just a sucky chip..

I have it stable @ 3.3GHz, 1.485v, 12hr P95. Im gonna leave it at that for now. I may sell the E6600 and buy an E6400~ or something.

It was an OEM chip, so i guess I cant complain..

**What is the first rule?

largon its called vdrop
read xtremesystems about vdrop mods
every boars has a little drop of voltage under load which wont appear under idle
its just the board

gR3iF,
Difference between bios setting and CPU-Z reading is not droop. It's just inaccurate readings...

...however, difference between bios setting and a DMM/oscilloscope reading is.

i 2nd gr3if's statement about voltage drooping. If you measure with a multimeter, you will see, the voltage is much different than that set in the bios. Set your voltage to X volts, go check the reading in the software, then find the voltage read point on your motherboard, and read it with a multimeter. If you do that and then the voltage is spot on then i will agree that it is an incorrect reading.

and for what is then a vdrop mod?
afterwards you wont get this drops in cpu-z?
just a trick for everyone so they dont have the drop in a programm which doesnt matter?
lol?

Duh. What was I thinking. Bios of course has nothing to do with droop, nor do software readings.

This is what I meant:

"...however, the difference between measured idle and load voltages is droop."


My point was that one can't detect vdroop with software because software readings are hardly ever reliable as software readings often fluctuate even when DMM shows a perfectly stable voltage.
