775 Lives on! E8600 6.4+ on LN2! UPDATE*
 

UPDATE with Ln2:

http://overclockaholics.com/forums/s...2&postcount=19


Finally, yesterday I recieved my rampage formula and it was time for some dry ice action with the E8600 and OCZ D9's. Before this I knew this CPU had this kind of Mhz in it, as I was able to get it there with a gigabyte EP45 before, except that the very rough GTL adjustments were limiting the stability at that frequency. Fortunately, this board is more precise and allowed me to get nice and stable settings that I ran for quite a while.

Runs are in single channel because one of my RAM sticks mysteriously died on a re-boot at 2.2v :confused2:
no LOD either, Inspector wasn't starting for some reason...

first results then pics
GPU only on water as session was geared towards finding CPU stability so freezing CPU/GPU will be far easier. Frosty550 will be in soon! :thumbsup:

thanks for looking!

some nice clocks :thumbsup:

Nice setup bro, keep pushin! :good:

sick diceness :)

dude nice setup! what kind of pot is that?

looks like an F1 with dice extension...

Very nice setup man keep up the good work

thanks!
Always pushin it to limit! :D

Thanks man, but it really needs some LN2 to shine....01 destruction would be in order at that speed...already testing 615+ FSB for 01 stability on air :)

thanks guys, took me a long while to learn the beast that is the wolfdale!

and the Pot i am using is the Kingpin Venom Rev 1, so ONLY AMD mounts, and it just barley fits in between those as well. Its a absolutely huge pot (92mm square) and almost doesnt fit between the heatsinks :D
I got some pics if you are interested.

yesh dude we are always pix fans!
having a session myself tonight with valk tonight

Yah, some Ln2 would definitely answer that question "How low can she go!" :D

ok here are some pics of the pot. I figure since its out of production and very old, It would be alright to show the base. Only other place I saw this pot was in a video of an AMD sponsored OC gathering where K|ngp|n and Chew* as well as other clocked TWKR's and such.

here it is in its full glory:

and here is a 92mm fan on top of the aluminum sleeve to show just how big it really is. The fan is exactly the same size as the pot. so if you want to know what I feel mounting it on intel just stick a 92mm fan on the CPU and see just how huge it is for yourself!

love this thing, holds load like no other....

don't think it's a F1EE with extension kit because i have one with extension :ohcrap:

certainly not just look at the pics!

it looks like a Venom pot

:thumbsup:

pics pics pics...........

I love the smell of acetone in the morning.... reminds me of victory :D

umm.. paraphrased :P

1 tip for you, clean the green oxidation out of the holes, works like an insulator.

nice specs..

UPDATE***

Last week I was able to get a hold of 20L of Ln2 for some nice and fun overclocking on the E8600 and rampage Formula.

max frequency:

was able to get 6350 benchable in the hour or 2 before mobo went nuts on me

Sweet :D

dude kick ass setup there

AWESOME man, where did you find the ln2?

ice lolly there , nice runs

thanks guys!

hehe I managed to snag hondacity's cheap dewar and got free Ln2 from my dads biotech company :)

thanks man!

was after I had finished so the ice had a chance to build up on everything.

Now I just need a REX and some D9GTR haha

i got one stick Crusial diablo DDR3 left here with some D9 chips on it.

funny saw a REX For sale a few weeks ago, told hte guy to drop the price and hit OC style forums. he had to drop the price and did sell it.. though $250 for a 775 board, by golly I wouldnt do it :P

oh no the REX was really just a joke lol

Should be getting an EP45T-USB3 after the holidays...so I will just retire the CPU for now and wait for some awesome gigabyte DDR3 madness :)

cpu is batch no. is

Q820A845

in case anyone was wondering

wumpus when you joining our team bro!? :D

subbed :thumbsup:

I've seen em several places online going for $399. Pretty sure they'll sell :D

hehe the time will come when I have enough time and money to start doing some more serious stuf....still just messing around with old shit :p

there WILL be more 01 action to come!

and now see, its a great board, but 400 smackeroo's is a bit high for a 3 generation old board.

Time to stop being a shameful lurker :blush:

I didn't want to start a new thread, so I thought that an extreme 775 thread would suffice

I ran this back in December, very happy with the result.

E6600 core 2, EP45 Extreme, DDR2, Dragon F1 under LN2

Shame about the FSB wall, the cpu has more in it

:welcome: into the dark....erm light Mr. Lurker ;)

man that is a sweet overclock, my e6600 coldbugged at -35 .......... POS

welcome :)

Welcome bro! very nicely done!

asus commando man, but still nice OC.

today i will put an E6400 under Dice

Thanks for the welcome guys, it was only my 2nd LN2 session , although I have run a single stage for a couple of years and dabbled with dice.

I have been looking at a commando, I can get a new boxed unit for $160 aust, which is far less than a X48 Rex still goes for

Will a good Commando go as far as 650 + fsb?
