Just recieved my E6300 Conroe from TD. I changed my mind and am sticking to my current system. Conroe E6300 Core 2 Duo - OEM - Brand new, Sealed Actual Numbers from the chip: 6300 SL9SA Malay 1.86GHZ/2M/1066/06 Price: $236.00 shipped TODAY via USPS Priority Mail w/ DC. (I can ship it...

TD gave me a UPS tracking number but UPS website is still showing "Billing information received". I hope that it gets shipped/scanned later tonight and is not lying in the TD warehouse overnight :(

my E6300 ordered today at 10:48am PST from tigerdirect is showing shipped right now.

Same thing with the P4 1.6A chips. These used to do 2.40Ghz @ default voltages also (50% overclock). I had one that did 2.60GHz at one notch above default...great chips just like the 300A. I am sure that the E4300 will be almost the same but it is coming out a bit too late

3.4 > * in your list

I still remember my 1.60A doing 2.40Ghz at default voltages (50% overclock at default volts). My 2.53B used to do 3.2GHz-3.30GHz at one notch above default. The highest clock I got with a 2.8C was 3.7Ghz at slightly above default. All on the Abit IC7-G motherboard (great mobo at the...

if you are going to do that, can you pls lmk in advance ? In that case, I would be willing to become a dog for you :) ;) for few minutes just when you feel like feeding :D

$40 on ~260 is ~15% savings. Think of it that way :)

I have had P95 error out at ~9 hours :( Heres what I do: Initially, i do 5 min to determine the max OC. Then, when I have a rough idea, i do 30 min. After, I have found the approximate settings, i let it run for ~24 hours. I note down all the settings, restore everything to default...

just received my 2nd 165 (ordered on tuesday evening) and it is again a 0610DPMW. now, i have 2 0610DPMWs with me (my earlier one does ~2.85Ghz @ 1.40v actual) lets see how this one does...will try this chip later in the weekend.

he said that it is "sub 0551". so cant be 0607.

Thanks..that was why i initially purchased the 22g ceramique tube (much cheaper and easier to clean...i dont do phase change). Only reason I was wondering about AS5 was b/c mostly everyone is using AS5 and each HSF/CPU post says to get some AS5 with your HSF/CPU. Why dont people just...

wish I had some AS5 :(. I am using Arctic Ceramique which is better than AS3 but a tad "not" better than AS5 (i think 1-2C difference between AS5 and ceramique). but even ceramique needs couple of days. I will run it at 2.8Ghz for couple of days at 1.36v and then go back to ocing it later..

What is the safe max temp for these 165s under load ? i am already running in high 50s (58-60) when on 1.53v using the Scythe Ninja hsf. the cpu runs very cool when using 1.36v @ 2.80Ghz (~45 on full load) but ~58-59 at 2.93Ghz @ 1.53v :(
