Got a winner?

Don't worry about people and their crappy comments on an E6300 6400 doing 3.2ghz or so.

Those CPU's clock faster because of the 2MB cache and even when clocked to 3.2ghz they still suck.

An E6600 doing 3ghz stock is a beatiful chip and you should be happy with it.

3.6ghz with 1.45 is very good also.

But yes, there are some E6600's that can do 3.6ghz on stock Vcore. Batch / week 28B is very famous for this....
 
bump up vcore

mines running 3.6 at 1.35 vcore.. i got week 28b chip though :)

You are entitled to your own opinion, but I think ANY core 2 duo chip clocked @ 3ghz+ Does NOT SUCK.

what are you smoking? can I have some?
 
we,, my problem is i cant get the qdr past 375, i.e 1500. anything past that wont boot. i also cant get my mem past its rated 1000, well i can run 1050 @ 2.3v Remember, i'm new at oc'ing intel! i need all the advice i can get!

what programm is that reporting the temps?

Yo've hit an infamous BIOS hole. Drop your multplier and got for FSB's closer to 400 or higher. Once you cap your FSB do some math and find a desirable FSB multiplier combination to get you max cpu speed.

This btw is my largest gripe with this NVidia reference design that I don't think has been sufficiently addressed. 4MB chips hit their sweet spot on air where all the holes in the BIOS are. For an air overclocker the 975 is a better bet. Anand's review on the 650i seems to say that it may fair better but he alludes to the fact he thinks he's got a very cherry board. go for max cpu clock and don't put as much emphasis on the FSB you can really dial your memory in with this chipset to squeeze every ounce of life out of it. Also 2T command rate is a must when fiddling with your mem near or above 800Mhz. Some FatBody can do 1T so far and a few other lucky people have gotten 1T at 800Mhz or a little more on different RAM but 2T will drastically improve ability to find the right FSB. This board is a bit different to OC you have to find your MAX FSB then your MAX CPU then play with ram timings after you get all that put it all together and you'll get a speed demon. Good luck PM me if you need help. I've got handfuls of these I've been running through a shop I do work with and I've chucked about a dozen cpus under it so far.

Edit
One more thing. Don't ramp voltages unncessarily. This board doesn't need much voltage tweaks to crank high. As they said in their review if you leave the voltage settings on auto and only adjust the cpu vcore you can get what you need. You won't get the last spare Mhz out of it but on air it'll more than do.
 
Ok, I'll give it a try over the holidays. So,I have mem and fsb set to unlinked. does that make any difference? Here is the plan.

1. set multi to 6
2. set mem to 800 or so (its crucial 1000)
3. start setting fsb (same as qdr?) up untill I get through the "hole"
4. once i get through the hole, find the max stable fsb
5.. set fsb back down and start finding max cpu by setting multi to 9 and turning up fsb until max cpu mhz is found.
6. set cpu and fsb down.
7. start raising memory untill max is found (did this, was only able to hit 1050 for some reason, at 2.3v)
8. raise fsb until I hit the fsb limit or cpu limit.

Sounds easy! I hate OC'ing hehe

Do you still have your box? It's written on the label with all the bar codes. It'll start something like "L6xxx A/Bxxx"
