    Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 overclocking power usage

    I have no idea about that since my CPU isn't stable at that particular voltage/speed combination.

    Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 overclocking power usage

    I thought that the following information might be helpful: I will continue to update the graph to include more datapoints as I record them. The wattage measurements were done at the wall with a Kill-A-Watt power meter. I guessed that the best way to prolong my chip's life was probably to...

    AMD64 and EM64T and 64bit in General.

    For the most part you can just recompile an app with GCC. I was part of the initial porting effort of porting Debian to the amd64/em64t platform back in early 2004. From what I recall about the only problems we had were with applications that either used x86 assembly instead of higher level...

    Doesn't fail Orthos, but resets after ~12hrs

    I got this before when attempting to overclock my system, I think in my case it was just using too low vcore. One cause of resets if you are seeing them inside Windows is from getting a bluescreen. By default if the system bluescreens it automatically restarts the system. To disable this...

    Any interest in a new version of Toast for Core 2 Duo?

    Yes, I am interested. I saw in another thread you are currently working on it. Any ETA as to when it might be finished?

    amd duron

    I overclocked a Duron 600 to 1GHz on a Abit KT7-RAID motherboard around mid 2000 that I used for several years. I am not sure about the K7S41 motherboard though.

    6600 safe everyday voltage?

    Intel documents mention that the maximum voltage for the chips is 1.5v so I wouldn't personally push it past that point. Always remember that temperature isn't the only thing that can destroy electronics, the more voltage you use the faster electromigration will cause the chip to fail also.

    T5500( 2MB L2 cache) + 2GB SDRAM @667MHz or T7200 - 4MB L2 cache + 1 GB SDRAM @667MH

    With Vista the additional memory would probably make much more of a difference than the CPU.

    X2 4400+ to E6700?

    You can see how much of a difference it would probably make by looking here Toms CPU Charts.

    Which LGA 775 CPU uses the least energy?

    And you can undervolt the hell out of C2D chips at stock speeds which should dramatically lower the energy usage. From what I recall I was able to run my E6300 266x7 1.32500v stock at ~ 260x7 0.95000v, which is only slightly underclocked.

    4.5 hours orthos stable good enough?

    Also note that Orthos - small FFT is not enough to find stability by itself since it does not stress your ram. I think this is a large part of the reason people consider OCCT better. If your memory is overclocked as well you need to run something like Orthos - blend or OCCT for a prolonged...

    Overclocking...so far (E6600)

    There is of course a way to get higher load temps than even with Orthos... use Intel TAT to load both cores, it causes the temps to go much higher than even Orthos does.

    4.5 hours orthos stable good enough?

    Like you mention while tweaking cpu voltage to get the minimum required to be stable, I have regularly seen it fail in the 12-14 hour time range. I haven't run a burn in lasting over 14 hours so far, so I don't know if just upping the voltage the next level (0.00625v on my board) is enough to...

    4.5 hours orthos stable good enough?

    OCCT misses errors as well. I have seen it miss several bad voltage levels while building a graph of FSB vs Voltage on my E6300, that Orthos (small fft) caught. However, I definitely will be running OCCT for 24h as well when I think I have "stabilized" my system.
