Dual Core's built on the Core2 Conroe architecture
I'm continually amazed at the potential that this chip shows. been curious as to how far i can push this thing the past few days, so i tried.
after about 3 days 2-4 hours each I believe to have hit the peak for this system.
the rig consists of a a MSI-P6N-SLI-FI mainboard housing nVidia's 650i chipset.
although the interwebs say the 680i can reach higher speeds the lower model 650i can still hold up pretty well.
and 2GB ram from the Corsair Dominator series rated at 4-4-4-12 800Mhz
at the end of my spree of pushing the pedal all the way to the floor the highest stable overclock came in at a FSB of 1566Mhz
which lasted for a whole 15min under a full load
brought it down a tad and it is currently running stable at 1533Mhz (383 x 4)
which has been running for 6+ hours on a full load
pushing my little chip rated at 2.4Ghz to 3.45Ghz
the ram is currently clocked 1:1 at 766Mhz
all air cooled running at 50C reported by TAT
so thats
E6600 @ 3.5Ghz
2GB Ram @ 766Mhz 4-4-4-12
8800GTS @ core:648 shader:1512 ram:972
and the quester is happy
just ran 3DMark 06 while writing thisSM2.0 - 4473
HDR/SM3.0 - 4483
CPU - 2714
composite: 10200
up from the standard clocks: 7777
investing soon in a 680i mainboard (any suggestion on a manufacturer?)
and a ver' nice Xeon Quad Core X3220
and we'll see what this next promising rig will handle ... in mid december when i get the money
