Allendale e6500es on gigabyte ds3 mobo results

[SMa]

Isn't E4x00 the budget version?
And also I thought it was single core, the Core 2 Solo.. but then that picture isn't correct.

[theteamaqua]

meh i ill go with E6600

[horrorwood]

Yay, well done mate, see you finally got it working then!!

Seen what kind of clocks youve been able to get out of it yet?

Only 2.6ghz, just put my hyper48+ and temps are now more reasonable.

Anyone have any idea what temp i should stop at!?

[Evilsizer]

well since we dont know how they handle temps ATM. 50-54c would be my stopping point. dont forget to watch for thermal throttling, over at ocforums ross said his cpu on the stock HS when oced was reading 65 or there about. Throttling was kicking in at those temps, was oced to 3.8ghz-3.9ghz. cant remember the voltage he used, atm.

Release date?

[ArcTan]

i ment E6500 = E6600 with 2MB L2
And it seems you must have Floppy to flash BIOS.

erm no you don't
I flashed mine via the gigabyte program fine from F1 to F3

[775911]

will it flash from cd also? I havent owned a fdd since 2000

[oijkue]

what the data on cpu IHS?

[horrorwood]

There is none.

I flashed the bios, bought a floppy disk.

[ArcTan]

Just use @bios which is on the gigabyte cd. I downloaded F3 bios, ran @bios and that's it

[matt89]

nice work there i think i will be getting a gigabyte mobo

[zert]

wow an Allendale at 9x multi. if this chip gets a nice price it will be a nice oc'er for the gigabyte board since Allendales seem to OC higher than Conroe's

[Evilsizer]

well this 6500 is suppose to be released around xmas time and some price cuts coming hopefully. i would expect to fit in the current price point of the E6400. Either that or the 6500 is going to be around the $300 range.

[Phosphate]

So what would the practical difference (as far as benchmarks) goes between this E6500 and the E4300? They both have 9x multipliers but different FSB? I'm talking OC'd benchmarks not stock benchmarks.

if im not mistaken the e4300 is also single core not dual...as far as ocing goes the e6500 will own it. i would expect the e4300's to be dud's of the higher end ones. That is unless the e4300 are really popular like the 2.4c's and they start binnning them to meet demand.

no they're dual core as well

E4300 is 7X (It should 9X)

EDIT: You are comparing 2.4GHz/1066MHz FSB with a 1.80GHz/800MHz FSB

[cupholder2.0]

E4300 is 7X

No, 7x200 = 1400 Mhz, that doesn't make anysense...

[adeoliver]

I thought all the core 2 duo's were going to be 266 FSB chips not half 200's and half 266. Did I miss something in the past month or what??

All the E6XXX chips are going to have 266 FSB's are they not?? The 4300is the only 200 with a 9x multi.

[onethreehill]

No, 7x200 = 1400 Mhz, that doesn't make anysense...

My memory failed me. It should be 9x200 = 1800 Mhz

[ocZZZ]

My ds3 temp sensor is wrong too. It reports cpu idle at 63c in bios but in windows with the gigabyte overclock tool and mbm, it lists the cpu at a normal 33c idle.

[horrorwood]

3.3ghz on stock cpu volts. Ram at 2.2volts. Ram is cheap stuff, £38.50 off ebay for the pair.

I've tested the ram at 400mhz and it was fine, so hopefully i can get the cpu going a bit faster.



Might be slow times because i was doing other stuff while it ran.

Also ram timings are probably crap, im a noob at ddr2.

PS you have PM upper right corner of main forum index webpage

I thought that the E6500 was an E6400 with 2MB L2 cache that is slated for release in the fourth quarter.

Yeah that would be stock but I'm talking comparing benchmarks OC'd. That e4300 should have a lot of potential for a fat OC because of that 9x multipier. (at least that is what I am thinking assuming RAM was good enough)

Could the FSB on the e4300 ever get as high as a e6500 in OC condition? ( post editted from e6300)
