Lucky you. I ordered from NewEgg on 4/30 and got a dreaded L644, which is pretty pathetic for overclocking.lovegunphoenix said:I bought from Newegg (of coruse! )
your e6600 is at 3.3ghz right? i don't see how a 900mhz oc is pathetic. from my experience overclocking, 900mhz is a damn nice OC, but that's just me.sremick said:Lucky you. I ordered from NewEgg on 4/30 and got a dreaded L644, which is pretty pathetic for overclocking.
I don't have an E6600, I have an E6420. And I'm basing my comments not on the relative OC from stock, but how I compare to 95+% of the other people with E6420s who OC them. For almost all E6420 owners with batches other than L644, they hit 3.2GHz easily with stock (or less) Vcore, and often 3.4GHz and higher without much work. It was based on this that I spent extra money designing a system around the E6420, so I'm a bit upset about my really horrible luck.hUMANbEATbOX said:your e6600 is at 3.3ghz right? i don't see how a 900mhz oc is pathetic. from my experience overclocking, 900mhz is a damn nice OC, but that's just me.

for you to run 450fsb, your ram has to run at 450mhz as well, or ddr2-900 speeds. what voltage and timings are you using here?Peepaw said:Well I had to try it.
Dropped the multi to 7 and jacked the fsb up to 450. Not good. My puter turned on and no screen, no post beep. So after reseting cmos and setting up my bios again, I'm going to leave well enough alone.
At least I know it won't go there.
