Anyone into overclocking i just managed to get my E6700 conroe to 4ghz it flys to say the least playing counter strike source and i get a solid 299FPS with only an x1900xtx i cant belive people still go out and buy a AMD when im using the same amount of volts through this to get 4Ghz as i did with my AMD to get 2.7ghz lol

 

nice one chap

 

OMG . That's the processor I'm thinking about getting

 

What sort of cooling are you using on that, to keep it stable?

Or are they pretty stable up to that temperature, without having to resort to water/freon/etc cooling?

 

im using a swiftech water cooling kit sticking 1.65 volts through the cpu and its hovering around 55oC under full load (both cores) but u can get 4Ghz with the tuniq tower 120 which is air cooled (but u need a big case to fit this sucker in )

 

Have been considering water-cooling, but have always been suspicious of water and electronics being in such close proximity!

 

Dan - what I thought One thing goes wrong and it's all gone pop Well ,actually, it's probably more like "fffffst, sizzle, fffffst, fizzle, puff of smoke"

 

same as a modern shower, there electric, and you dont give that a second thought do you? same thing with this.

Dont worry

 

Ive got my E6600 to 3.3GHz but it wasnt particular stable. What is your setup within the bios?

 

Answer me these few questions first then we can go from there mate

What board are you runing ?
whats your Cpu Voltage ?
whats your Mch Voltage (chipset) ?
Whats your ram Voltage ?
what ram, timings, divider are you at ?
