New E6600 batches, post your Overclock

[chaos_being]

Cool, an Ultra-120 Extreme is one of the parts I'm waiting on too

Good call on the OC database too. I see that there aren't man entries for the newer weeks at all...I'll be sure to add to it soon.

[Andrew LB]

Ok.... my first overclock attempt has me at 3.2ghz. Idle was 37'c with the stock cooler at 1.35v. I've been running Orthos for the past 20 minutes and my temps are stuck at 58'c both cores.

I think it's time to ramp it up a little more.

[sreedx2]

Just received a L709A442 pack date 04/12/07 currently testing 3.2ghz at 1.30v loaded 48 min


EDIT: Yeah I will have to add mine to the database soon

FYI...Arrived today from ZZF. My first Intel build in years.
Have it running 3.2ghz on 1.328 v. on a 965p ds3 version 3.3. Have not tried for a higher oc. New to this intel. Failed orthos at stock voltage so up to 1.328 and so far good.

Batch L0704A945 pack date 04/04/07..

[Andrew LB]

One quick question guys.... at what temperature should i start getting concerned about the safety of this chip? I'm going to push this thing on the stock cooler some more but want to make sure i don't go too high on temp or the voltage.

thanks!

i have the exact same pack date and stepping so that makes me really happy, are you using air, or water or some other kinda cooling, if your using the same set up as on your sig im going to be buying almost the same water cooling set up as that from NCIX in about a month or so

some one from extreme overclocking forums said that sl9zl cpus where not OCing good,

and sreedx2 do you DH or freeride mountain bike or some thing, im huge in to mountain biking as well

ah the good old days .. yes I am into mountain biking .. I use to do a lot of downhill and jumping I still jump but I take it easy .. I'll ride up then down how about yourself what kind of riding do you do

Yes I am running whats in my sig, NCIX = GOOD

I actually just received my cpu today and am OCing at the moment, currently testing 400x9 3.6ghz at 1.48 loaded I am hoping it just has a break in period because 1 step lower Vcore in the bios I got a bluescreen after 40 min

I don't know what the deal is but the two newer batch cpu's I have had both like to bluescreen instead of failing orthos

doger_666 ... I am very happy so far with my cooling, good luck with yours

Max is 60C personally I try and stay under 55C or 50C whatever makes you feel better

yours is close to mine .. curious to see how it does, find your max OC

Hi Guys

I'm thinking of upgrading my E6300 which is at 3.00GHZ atm to ethier a
Core 2 Duo E6600 or a Core 2 Duo E6700.

I basicly want to get 3.6 GHZ out of the chip of air.

I have a good case and lots of fans use AS5 paste and good CPU cooler.

I was wondering would a E6700 do 4GHZ? I use MAME emulator a lot a need the speed.

Also what board would you suggest to get this kind of clock and what memory?

My Specs:

E6300 running at 7x430
Gigabyte 965-S3
2x1GB Patriot 5300 memory running 1:1, my memory can hit 930MHZ after that it hits a wall.
Radeon x1900XT
Artic Cooler pro 7
Full midtower with 2 120mm fans.


Thanks

Josh

Cool. thanks for the tip. I'll keep it at 3.2ghz until my Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme arrives later this week. I'm putting a 120mm Panaflo M1A BX fan on it to keep this thing cooled down. I'm sure it will do wonders compared to the stock Intel POS.

What is your other batch no?

This is my first c2d build and I am still learning about how to oc this chip and Gigabyte ds3. Sorting thur lots of reading on the forums!! May try tonight to get ot higher . Being on the conservative side for now.

[sreedx2]

well the one I was just running was L629B367 which I was running at 3.3ghz with 1.43 Vcore any higher the voltage would be through the roof

also had a L638F050 and it was crap .. don't even remember what I had

My L709A442 is running at 3.6 with 1.48v loaded small fft's 8 hours

currently running blend to see if she is stable .. just knocked the voltage down one step and she crashed after 3 min

Get a commando P965 Board or how are the new DFI P965 boards doing

Depends really if you get a good chip or not .. also depends how much voltage you want to give your cpu, with the newer batches lately some have been OCing well some haven't, how is your luck ?

I can sell you a brand new E6600 not opened, I ordered two thinking I would get different batches but turns out they shipped me two of the exact same chip
I have posted my OC's so far above

If you want to run 3.6 400x9 with a 1:1 ratio your ram is fine but if you want to run 4:5 probably a no go considering you mentioned above you cannot reach 1000mhz .. so if you reached 3.6 and wanted to push it further you probably do not have much headroom .. If looking to upgrade your ram find some nice D9 chips from G skill, Team group .. the list go's on

EDIT: ah whoops did not see what ram you had .. yeah maybe upgrade to some DDR800 D9 chips .. my Team Group can do 1000mhz easy with stock volts or less

This is my first c2d build and I am still learning about how to oc this chip and Gigabyte ds3. Sorting thur lots of reading on the forums!! May try tonight to get ot higher . Being on the conservative side for now.

Well there is a lot of good help here on the forum, keep on truckin

Still testing, came from athlon 3700+ oced to 2.75 and this e6600 is ALOT faster

60C max??? maybe for good watercooling but on air cooling few will get that with load temps and any core on most of the C2Ds

[Mad Pistol]

Right now, Here's what I'm testing. It's not very extreme, but I'm surprised that the current voltage it's set at is working.

E6600 @ 3202Mhz
Vcore: 1.325v
Memory: 854mhz

I'm not sure where to fiind my processor batch number though. Do I have to actually look on the physical chip? Sorry, I'm a noob to the overclocking scene.

[Andrew LB]

It will be printed on the heat spreader on the top of the chip as well as the bottom of the retail box if you went that route.

Hmm, that actually doesn't seem that bad to me so far, maybe the 44's can do well too? With a better cooler and some volts, hopefully the results should be interesting

Hey,

Just got my 6600 in the mail from ZZF yesterday, upgrading from a 6300

It has a packing date of 3/26/07 and its a L644G425 . Ill let you guys know how this does, im waiting for a U-120 Extreme, didnt think my freezer7pro would be sufficient. Hopefully this weekend ill have it up and running.

[chaos_being]

Interesting...I got the same batch and I ordered from ZZF as well. Same packing date as well I believe (the chip is not in front of me.) I'll be awaiting your results, I'm not entirely sure when I'm getting a few of my parts (usps tracking sucks.)

cool, im gonna be looking for around 3.3-3.4 oc, im gonna be dropping down the multi to x8 probably too, just to squeeze out my ram that I know OCs well.

[Bei Fei]

First tests on my e6600 I got from mew egg yesterday.

L706A499

I am testing on air with a through hole mounted Ninja.

3429 auto voltage with 56C load temp.

Odd thing is CPUZ shows my Multi @ 6.

I've yet to even get started overclocking this thing. As soon as I get a better cooler (probably Enzotech Ultra-X 120 since the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme is too tall for my case) i'll ramp up and see how high this thing will go. I'd rather not go much higher since my stock cooler sucks.

[dinos22]

i tested a new CPU recently

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (batch#L707A255)
Watercooled (Switech dual rad/MCP350/apogee)

3.6GHz ~20m small FFTs Orthos 1.45v Loaded

[aclim]

That doesn't look to bad. Of course u are on water. I hope my U-120 extreme can do something close to that....
