Call your area's recycling depot or scrap yards, copper is valuable these days and alot of people ( even thieves lol ) sell them to these places.... Ive been playing with alot of copper these days for my lil projects and I get them from a local recyclers for cheap...

Whats the fpo/batch of your E6700? I have an E6600 that did 4ghz Orthos stable on cold air ( using Ultra 120 ), Im looking for a high fsb E6700.... What exactly do you want to run at 4ghz? On regular ambient My e6600 can do spi 32M and 3dmark benches all day.... Look in the Intel...

whats the highest fsb you reached with that e6700?

Im selling my E6600 ( L632B172 ) to somebody @ XS but if it doesnt go through Ill let you know.... Im watercooled too and 4ghz is no problem, recently ran spi 32M at 4100mhz, played UT2004 @ 4ghz.... And ofcourse 4ghz Orthos on air when the weather was colder back in feb ( see database )...

More voltage always helps but I think the gains achived is not worth the risk cos 2.3v 24/7 is like giving your rams cancer.... might die now, certainly within a few months and lucky if they live a year..... These D9's dont like loose timings, most I will loosen up to is 5-5-5-15..... 24/7...

Have you tried running them 1066, 5-5-5-15 at 2.1v? It shouldnt take more than 2.1v to run 1066....

I just want to let people know that right now the P35 motherboards are way ahead of the C2D that max overclock will depend on the CPU and not the motherboard..... I think all these mobos will do 600fsb, the question is, can your cpu? I got the IP35 as well and this thing is just too easy...

I didnt read the whole thread but from my experience, the HR05 is not a good idea for this board....Since it doesnt have mounting holes for the NB, youll have to use the clips supplied by Thermalright and it just doesnt have enough tension to make it work effectively.... After a week, I ended...

Too late... Its on now bitch..... Im not one who like to show off but you left me no choice.... Here it is, luihed special one of a kind ram.... Kingston value ram with ballistix SPD and OCZ crossfire timings and subs..... All settings done in bios, no Memset or any window base software to...

The Ballistix pc 5300 wont get you too far.... Mine can barely do ddr1200 at 2.2v, topped out at around 620fsb or so:D .....

Dont know much about that board but..... always flash from good old floppy..... doesnt matter what everyone says, its a $5 drive that will save a alot of potential headache.... Also before flashing, clear cmos, up your vdimm to 2.2v, doesnt matter how high those sticks will go or what theyre...

Wow... too bad we canadians cant buy from them but the prices are dropping here as welll... just ordered 2gs of pc5300 for $100 and I think Ill grab another set tommorrow:D ... Had fun with my Firestix pc 8000 but I have to go back to the ballistix

In a way I agree with what you said about low end cpus overclocking the same as the more expensive ones but the X6800 should generally reach a higher overclock than any other C2D.... The reason theyre getting about the same speed is because its easier to beat up a cpu that cost you $300 than...

I disagree.... I think buying a Q6600 is like buying a BMW M5, fast and seats 4 people.. Buying E6850 is like buying a Ferari, it only seats 2 but will blow the M5 in a race..... But I do agree that if youre not really into overclocking then there's no reason to choose the E6850...

Im not sure about the Q6600 ( 1066fsb ) but the upcoming Q6850 ( 1333fsb ) has a new stepping ( G0 ) and it runs very cool from the few that Ive seen..... If the E6850 shares the same stepping as its quadcore counterpart then its going to be a monster overclocker..... Ive seen a few Q6850 run...
