Will try to OC with Conroe E6700 stable at 4.0 ghz 24/7. Running with D 930 at 4.545 (303 x 15) ghz right now.

Got it on time. OEM CONROE E6700 B2 STPEPING 6
AI Booster Can't even do 30% which is 3.400ghz.
After 24 hrs tweaking here are the results:
Post in window XPpro at 3.800ghz at vcore 1.67 drooping to 1.59-1.62, idlling at 55C but will crash immediately. Drop the radiator in cold water lower cpu temp down to 47C but still not stable. ratio 1:1 and 4:5 will work. That pair of memory can bo oc to 933 at 2.2V.
At 3730 will run some what stable at 1.67 drooping to 1.59-1.62 at 47C idling, 59 load.
At 360 rock solid at 1.5V, idling at 45, load at 55-57. as mention above memory was nerver a problem, It will work at 1:1 or 4:5
THERE ARE NO PROBLEM WITH PULLING FSB BUT THE PROBLEM IS CONROE E6700 NEEDED SUCH HIGH VCORE TO RUN STABLE. EVEN IF YOU CAN MAINTAIN REASONABLE CPU TEMP (45-47).
Since I am looking for the 24/7 system I can't afford anything higher than 1.5. This is gonna be my almost final verdict except if you guys have any other idea. I check around at the OFFICIAL CONROE THREAD at EXTREME and this is pretty much what people get for their E6800 and E6700 stable systems.
I never did anything to the video card yet but i do not think it is going to help...? :idea: :idea:

SO MY FINAL VERDICT for 8O 8O E6700 8O 8O ($600) with P5W-DH ($269) at 360 GHZ 24/7 is NOT really a good OC system. If I have a chance, I'd do Gigabyte DS3 ($130) and E6600($313) 0r even E6400 ( will be easily OC to 3.40-3.60 GHZ stable 24/7. Check out the extreme site.) and save that $420(from the CPU and MB)+$270(Video card)=$690 for the kick ass SLI or CF.

Uhm, yes. This does seem to have been the conclusion of just about every review I've read on the subject. (E6600 as a better overclocker.)

Some of the review sites have found that they get stability/higher overclocks by increasing the MCH voltage as high as 1.625v 8O Here are some examples:

http://www.overclockers.com.au/article.php?id=489587&P=7

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core2duo-e6300_8.html

The second problem we encountered during Core 2 Duo overclocking is very closely connected with the first one. Although the MCH voltage increase improves the mainboard overclocking potential, we still wish we could squeeze more out of it. On average, every 0.05V increase results into additional 7-8MHz. As a result, if you want to use up the entire clock generator potential that theoretically supports up to 500MHz FSB frequency, you should raise the voltage on the chipset North Bridge up to 1.85-1.9V. The maximum voltage setting allowed in the mainboard BIOS Setup is only 1.65V. This is the major limiting factor for successful Core 2 Duo overclocking.

Try this, and you might put a smile on your face.

I always have my MCH at the highest which is 1.65. But this is only in case you can't push FSB up any more then MCH mod. I do not have problem with FSB but high Vcore to keep it stable, ways up to 1.625... there still room for 1.75 though. But I definately dont want a 24/7 system at that Vcore.

Here is the quote from their OC....at Overclokers.com
""Considering the much higher Core 2 Duo per-clock efficiency in comparison with Pentium D an additional gain of 700 MHz under these conditions is a very solid achievement. It shows that Intel will have plenty of headroom to scale Conroe further upward. We guess that Conroe is eventually good for a default speed of around 3600 MHz.""
Yes they reach 400GHZ but not stable and with the intel board I believed
