Maximum PC

Can't wait for Christmas... Hoping for a quad that I can have the fun of OC'ing to the max.

xxxxx

Greetings all. I'm fairly new to this forum, but I thought I'd share my OC system specs. I don't use CPU-Z, as a rule. I prefer Everest Ultimate. Here are my rig's specs...

Antec Nine Hundred
Gigabyte S-Series GA-P35-DS3L
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (B3) @ 3.0Ghz 1.35v
Zalman CNPS9700 (On Arctic Silver)
2x1GB Corsair XMS2 PC6400 DDR2 @ 667Mhz (4-4-4-12) 1.9v
PNY 8800GTS 320MB @ 600Mhz / 1760Mhz
Creative Sound Blaster SB0570 Audigy SE
Lite-On LightScribe DL-DVDRW LH-20A1M186C
150GB WD Raptor 1500AHFD-OORAR5 10,000RPM 16MB Cache
320GB WD Caviar 3200JB-OOKFA0 7800RPM 8MB Cache
Sony MPF920 Floppy Drive ('cause I'm an ol' guy)
BFG Tech BFG650PSU 650Watt Power Supply
Windows XP Professional



The thumbs show my every day clocks. Prime95 tested stable. I have had my rig running higher clocks (suicide OC for GameSpot 3DMark glory), it was configured as follows...

CPU - Intel Q6600 B3 @ 3.3Ghz (1.42v)
Memory - Corsair XMS2 PC6400 @ 734Mhz / 5-5-5-12 (1.9v)
GPU - PNY 8800GTS 320MB @ 647Mhz / 1980Mhz

I don't know how stable it was running at these clocks. I was more than a little hesitant to try a burn-in. I just checked the temps (nearing red line for B3) and ran 3DMark06. I didn't get any caps of Everest with it that high, but for proof, I offer my 3DMark06 Orb link. If you check the configuration tab, it shows my CPU frequency. Although, Futuremark never has listed my GPU frequency correctly. Sorry 'bout that. And no. I don't feel the need to repeat my suicide run, just to get Everest screen caps. LOL!!!

3DMark06 - 12434

P4C 2.4 to 3.3
AMD X2 3800+ to 2.5
Currently running a C2Q6600 at 3.6ghz

Well right now I have my E6300 up to 3.707 GHz on air. It's stable at 3.6 but not any higher than that. I think I will get it higher when my new dry ice pot arrives
cpuz

Saw the dry ice, but like many others...no validation.

Ok...I dislike the thought of being lumped into the masses with "no validation". I have no reason to falsely claim my OC results and the inference that I might be doing so is somewhat grating/off-putting. So, just for those that absolutely won't take screen caps, or a 3DMark Orb as proof of an OC, here are the much vaunted CPU-Z validation links.

My rig @ 3.0Ghz (everyday clocks)

My rig @ 3.3Ghz (suicide run)

Not bad for a >$100 board and >$80 CPU!

Gaming processor is a P4 2.66 GHz (805 family dual core) running perfectly fine at 3.6 GHz (air cooled).

The 805 is a Pentium D, not a Pentium 4. Just FYI.

ahh, good point. Seems like Intel has kept the P4 name for ages now

I got my Intel Q6600 up to 3.7GHz on air cooling at 1.512 volts. It's Prime95 stable also.

I don't dare go any higher on air cooling.

E2140 @ 3Ghz (FSB wall above) on a DFI Blood Iron.

Despite the unfortunate FSB wall, I must say I'm 100% satisfied with it's snappiness and value.

C2D E6750 2.6 GHz

Cranked up to 3.2 GHz, with 3.6 stable as the highest that I tested at so far.

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h40/teh_r0bot/1-27-08.jpg

@ 3.2 GHz = 40c, 1600 FSB

@ 3.6 GHz = 45c, 1800 FSB

I bet i could get to 4 or beyond, but running on air right now and would like to have this pc work for a long time.

No. Just the Pentium. It's you guys wanting to drag the "4" along. It's been Pentium5 since the Presler/Cedarmill.


The Allendales are Pentium 6.

No you can't. I hold the odds, you hold the wager. What are we betting?

Print the system you're using, and try...I'll take the bet as long as you don't change the bottom line...your system. You can't do it. So don't claim the bet. People listen, so don't lie or hedget the bet.

Pinks? CPUz validation is now being called. New Sheriff is in town.

I'll be the witness
