Not bad at all, but I reckon you can do a little better than that. Run at the 400MHz NB strap and the lowest frequency RAM you can run, if your board is any good, you'll fly past 650MHz FSB.

The one I had for the MOA qualifiers did 685MHz or thereabouts with my E8600 (on a lower multi, unfortunately), but there's of course no validation of that.

Well I'm sure I can. For some reason bios 0901 that I was running only likes the 333 strap 5:8 divider??? Most other straps I can't even boot no matter what I try. My mount sucked that session and I just spent about 20 minutes to get that. Maybe I'll bench this setup again sub-zero.

i have no right to be posting in this thread, but i waited 2 years to post in a 4ghz thread when i was stuck at 3950..

when i switch to a more efficent cooling setup, i promise you round numbers

1.7v air

Just a wee bit more and you'll have every right to post in this thread

with that ES chip

at 1.8vcore it idels at 74c in the bios lol

i can squeeze off 4950, im not sure if its the cpu that wont do it, or if its just a heat thing, wich i think it might be.. there was a guy or 2 around that have es's of my stepping Q812A i believe, that have made it to 5 on air, with much much lower volts. im just wondering if this cpu was thrashed by someone before i bought it. i cant recall if ive ever had one degrade on me before.. usually the board quits before the cpu heheh.

Are you running an a/c unit nearby or tried force cold air induction yet?

heheh yeah ive shut off the furnace, and opened the windows when it was -35, but i was wimpy with the voltage. i havent givein a 65nm cpu 1.8v lol, last time i did that i was sportin socket a
