Decided to try new version of OCCT v1.1.0 OCCT multi core which has added support for Everest Ultimate for monitoring. But I couldn't get OCCT to recognise Everest Ultimate says Shared memory disabled! ?

Anyway using Speedfan v4.31 did CPU test only for standard 30 minutes. 1.200v idle and 1.208v load which agrees with AI Suite. Seems OCCT doesn't stress cpu as much as Prime95 v25.1 small ffts. OCCT runs 4-5C cooler under load compared to Prime95 v25.1 small ffts.













1KW OCZ ProXStream psu being used although Speedfan itself doesn't report the +5v and +3.3v rails. +12v rail agrees with prior testing the rails even under X1900 Crossfire quad core load don't budge much at all.

Now OCCT v1.1.0 at 3600Mhz at 1.4v bios (1.384v)

Same week different batch. Hopefully still a great one

Mine was L627A664
Pack date: 08/03/06

Looks good so far eh? Nice temps for only 2.93Ghz

Is is just me or does that IHS look really dodgy???



PS: I'm surfing i4 on a Pentium D 820 ATM

Oh nice! Can't wait to see you overclock this b1tch!

The IHS kind of looks pushed up.

Looking foward to seeing you torture this poor retail cpu eva

eva2000

Yeah the corners do seem to be lower than the middle of the IHS.. which is better than the other way round



Temps are really nice prime95 small ffts load at 9x400FSB at 1.39v is only 47-52C coretemp load.. that's like 14-20C cooler delta temps than my E6600/E6700 B1 at same clock and vcore! Guess there's a reason X6800 costs 3x times more than E6600

Interesting, this has to be the first Core2 cpu I have had that jumped so much in temps under Prime/Stressprime small ffts load before. Usually, when i prime load test, my Core2 cpus final max cpu coretemp load temp is only ~2C higher than when you just start prime tests and that takes 2-4+ hrs to get there. For example, if you start priming core2 will say hit 60C, after 2-24hrs later it usually hovers around ~62C.

Well this X6800 is different, at 9x400FSB at 1.4v prime started at coretemp load temps of 47-49C, but after a few minutes jumped to 52C.

Chuck some ice cubes in your water reserviour and try for 4.2Ghz benchable on water

That'd beat my E6600 on phase



Nice screencapture images btw

eva2000

screen captures still done with irfanview LOL... turns out with PNG format irfanview still results in smaller file size for coloured PNG files than corel paintshop pro XI because irfanview uses PNGout plugin for further compression while corel PSP doesn't use it.

Don't use a res for my water cooling only T-line
