Haha...didn't mean for the thread title to be so lame, but I'm overall in a pretty good mood with my progress so far with this CPU.
Long story short, I'm sitting with a 3.2GHz E4300 running at only 1.312v under load and still using the stock cooler to boot.
I still seem to have more room to stretch (even with the stock cooler) and I'm gonna go for 3.3GHz right away, but as soon as I get a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme I expect to see 3.6GHz fall quickly.
Not looking for any world records here, but I checked the Conroe overclocking database here at [H] and couldn't find anyone else with an E4300 hitting 3.2GHz with an undervolted CPU on stock cooling and thought it might be worth "shouting" about.
I don't have much for benchmarks yet, as I haven't taken much time to benchmark this thing during the stresstesting...but I'm just shy of 100k in Aquamark3 with a single X850XT at stock clocks and my OCZ PC2-8500 @ 1,070MHz 5-5-5-15 2T.
Here's the most recent Orthos "pass" screenshot:
More updates to come, not sure exactly when I'll be getting the Ultra-120 Extreme for the CPU and HR-05 on the NB...but I'll hopefully be able to pull off 3.3GHz with the stock cooler in the meantime.
