Haha, well that would explain it. Unless he had some other sort of problems that we dont know about.greenmaji said:meionm's E6400 is 4Ghz 32M SPI stable , That might have something to do with him thinking his E6600 wasn't all that good.

Regardless of what gets posted here, I plan to do further research, but it'd be nice if I had someone else who know about them give me some opinion about it.
Hm.. that's really strange. What kind of motherboard were you running?meionm said:The one I had didn't run prime stable at 3ghz with 1.35v. It maxed out at 3150mhz. 10mhz higher than 3150mhz and it would fail dual prime regardless of voltage. Anything above 410fsb regardless of multi and would not post.
its the luck of the draw week to week for the cpu's. there is allways going to be duds within every week. the good ocing cpus with low vids as found by coretemp/tat are ones with vid in the 1.2xx range. with decent ones being 1.3-1.325v, like my e6400 doing 3ghz with 1.33v*actuall*.mawsoccer said:Is anybody going to respond? It would be nice to see why meionm's processor that is the same week as mine was sooo bad.
warlock110 said:the E6600 has 4MB of cache vs the 2MB on the E6400 and the E6300... to some programs it'll run up to 10pct faster with the same clock speed... but that's not much...but there's rumor that new programs will get redesign to capitalized on the extra cache... at any rate.. assume that the E6600 hit 3.5ghz (normally).. 10pct = 350mhz so the E6400 will need about 3.85 to match... and what u really avoid with the E6600 is heat.. less clock = less heat.
deathman20 said:Might I ask where you get this information from?
I'm seeing very very little difference. Only time I'm seeing difference currently is SuperPI results, other then that its basically the same.
As for less clocks = less heat thats correct but also the E6400 also isn't powering 2mb of extra cache.
