Yeah i'm very happy right now
Thanks... E6850 is next up on phase 4374mhz max validation and 4266mhz max 32M on water... maybe 4.6-4.8ghz benchable on phase ?

interesting to see the 6850.

your Q6600 is running on par with mine even around same vcore range for the overclocks you have posted...mine might be tad lower prolly only because im on the phase cooler...

benchmarking wise im limited to around 4280 Mhz maybe 4300mhz on some.
these cpu's are seeming better than the 1 my brotherinlaw got from gamedude its batch # was 1 week older than ours.

The price on that DDR3 OCZ was it worth the money ? or what you gain in Mhz you loose in cas latency's ? and benches same result in the end ?

I spoke about my brother inlaws 2 p5k-e motherboards he got last week on this thread somwhere....well one of the boards just crashes with stock settings with a q6600 G0.corsair memory...would he just be able to take the both back to the store ?
as they are pretty usless by the sounds of it and just giving him constant headaches.
i suggested to him to ask for upgrade to premium.

cheers Hori

Well for DDR3 8x450FSB 900Mhz 7-6-5-15 DDR3 probably on par with 9x400FSB 600mhz 4-4-4-x or 5-5-4-x DDR2 for super pi 32M times ... for DDR3 the key is high FSB for cpu to utilise the added bandwidth DDR3 gives.

But the new DDR3 coming out is better than OCZ PC3-14400 Platinum samples i got.. new ones seem to be doing 6-6-x and 7-6-5 at same or higher clocks with 0.05v to 0.1v less vdimm.

What are the prices going to be like on DDR3 that can hit CL6 tho
