e6750 worth it?

So far I've only heard of 1 that cannot make it to 3.2ghz on stock voltage.
The rest all can get to 3.5-3.6ghz anywhere from 1.45 volts to 1.57 volts. I dont think this is great, but is within what the legendary 6600 could be before they lowered the quality on that.

Yea, I'd prolly run 3.8ghz if I was on water too, what are your load temps? setup?
I had one before I got my Quad, it did 3.2 on stock volts easy anything more required a lot more volts. I finally got it to 3.5 on 1.532 volts in BIOS and CPUz showed 1.284 in it. It's one helluva chip for the price.
CPU-z would read low on mine also but uguru showed me what it was really getting. Looks like our chips were about the same.
If you are willing to wait for the penryn chip coming in feb - you could overclock to 4ghz on air. That will blow away anything out there so far.
3.2-3.6 is more than enough for gaming, and if you wanted to encode movies you would move to quad core. Keep in mind at 3.2 ghz there isnt a dual core processor at stock that can touch it. So you effectively already ahve the fastest dual core in the world.

Have you noticed a trend? When the model first appears it will overclock to hell and back - about 2 months afterwards with the new steppings the max overclocks does a steady decline.
Mine was made I think 3-4 months after the first stepping came out.

Is it worth waiting for the E8400? It's only about a month away, costs the same as the e6750, and has the same stock non-overclock speed as the E6850.
In other words does E6750 @ 3.2-3.6 GHz == E8400 @ 3.0 at stock?
I am the type to overclock for fun to see how far i can take it, at stock cooling, but then i'll just run at stock cpu.

I just got mine a few days ago. I got it at 3.520 with I believe 1.44 or 1.45 in bios and its currently +8 hours in orthos. I got it 24 hour stable with 1.47v
I couldn't get it stable at 3.6 at 1.47v and I wasn't sure if I should go much higher with the voltage. I was actually gonna make a post about it but here seems a good place to ask as its relevant to the cpu...
How high can i safely up the voltage on air without causing damage or seriously lowering the life-span(less then 5 years).
When I had it at 1.47v it was 38*C load
Also, would PWM and chipset temps effect my OC? and at what point do they become an issue?
Thanks

38C load? Are you on water? If you are getting those kind of temps I don't think you'll have to worry about any life span issues at that voltage
edit: nvm, I see you're using a Ultra-120, those things must work very well

It's good aslong as you back it up with good RAM, Mobo and the most important part, a good PSU.
I'd like the think I bought good quality stuff. I coulda have gotten the whole system for a few hundred less if I skimped.
I guess I'll venture into 1.5x volts. I keep my desktop on 24/7 so maybe I'll keep my "OC to the max" profile for lans and shit to show off. But I definitely want to see how far i can take it before I settle at 3.4/5

3.2GHz at stock voltage, 3.4 at 1.4V. I keep it at 3.2 because I don't see any reason to go higher for gaming.
thats sweet. I had some issues when i first set everything up and started ocing so i disabled speedstep, but it may have been an unstable fsb/voltage combo anyway. I'll have to give it a shot once it get my final numbers
*little update on my oc: 22 hours and couting 3.520 @ 1.45v orthos stable (down from 1.47v)*

mine gets 3.6 @ 1.35 volts on abit ip35-e, its a really nice chip, and also with c1e and eist u get 2700mhz on idle and when doing lighter tasks, then it kicks up to 3.6 under load, its a rly good chip. definitely worth it.
You got a good one!

I, uhh, run my E6750 at the stock settings, and it's really fast.
Me too. I just wonder what yall are running to take advantage of the overclock. I still have the stock fan so I don't want to push the chip up too far.
How much more power is consumed @ idle when overclocked?
what?

Same here, stock volts @3200, it would prob go lots more, but I need to get better ram....my dividers won't allow a lower ram speed so it goes south pretty quick at much over stock ram speeds.
it actually peaked to 39. Thats with an ultra120 extreme. I got a lian-li a05 so I get the coldest possible air right to the cpu.
Is it safe to take it past 1.5? How high? Or should I be going by temp and not voltage?
Thanks

How did you install the true? At that temps you are getting, you should post an FAQ on how to install a TRUE

To the above poster, 1.5V is the max range of the e6750. If you account for v-droop you can push it past 1.5V in the bios, I believe. Double check this! You don't want to fry your chip just to get a few points off of 3dmark!
Okay so here's the deal:
I figure I can safely get 3.0GHz with stock HSF and maybe push 3.2GHz but temps will be 65-70, hotter than I would like.
To plan for longevity for the system, I'll want to push >3.2GHz...maybe 3.6? Is this do-able with my system?
My main concerns are:
1) memory is DDR2-800 - I would have to overclock the memory a bit
2) Northbridge or southbridge on ds3r gets hot - do i need to replace the heatsinks or add a fan?
3) prefer quiet cpu HSF: arctic freezer 7? one of the thermalrights?

i just installed my e6750 today on a gigabyte x38-ds4. its OCed to 3.2Ghz on 400Mhz DDR2, stock cooling, small even amount of AS5...
1) idle temp: ~34C load temp: ~57C
2) just select a 1:1 fsb to ram ratio. my FSB is 400Mhz. my ram is at its stock PC6400 800Mhz settings (4-4-4-12).
3) dunno
4) i dont even know if my computer is on by listening to it. 120x fan in the rear, 90x in the front and again, stock cpu cooling. ( i have a crap video card though).

That's a very good overclock. I wish I could push mine to that level but on one test i push past 375x8 and my divX got a memory or app error (can't remember which). Are your volts on stock as well? Did you have to increase fsb/mch voltage?
I've read that AS5+ stock can work well, and your temps show it (mine would go to at least 62C on orthos).
