The DDR2 PC6400 were too expensive for me, and if I'd want to use them I could effectively run the E6600 at 3.6GHz, but I chose to go with very safe 3GHz overclock (from 2.4Ghz default) and get PC5400 to match it, which isn't that much more expensive from PC4200.

PC specs:

Windows 11 Home | Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + LC 360 AIO | MSI RTX 5090 LC 360 AIO | 55" Samsung Odyssey Gen 2 | 64GB PC5-48000 DDR5 | 1TB M2 SSD for OS | 2TB M2 SSD for DCS | NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W | TM Cougar Throttle, Floor Mounted MongoosT-50 Grip on TM Cougar board, MFG Crosswind, Track IR

I can run mine stable now at 3,6 GHz stable with my new cooler, but the temps are a bit worrying, so I just run it at 3,4.

 

I'm going to lap(sandpaper the surface) my E6600 soon so I can improve the temps a bit.

I wouldn't do that if I were you :music_whistling:

Why not, you just need some fine grit sandpaper.

Dont you have to have realy realy good mem modules? arent they expensive enough to defeat the whole purpose of overclocking to save $$$?

 

Well, you can score some modules that are cheap and will overlock well.

 

For example my patriots. 330 stock runnig at 435 1:1 with FSB. Thats 105MHz OC on a cheap module :thumbup:

Why not? Because if you do sand it and make the surface even a bit uneven... you will fxxx up the CPU.

Well the implication is that you know what you are doing :P

The implication is also that you are not generating a static charge when doing so, which you cannot guarantee...in fact, its VERY likely that you are producing a harmful static charge. Lapping the surface of the heat speader on the CPU is definitely a bad idea, since it WILL void your warranty. Just clean the heat spreader with alcohol, and concentrate your lapping/polishing efforts on your HSF. :)

I've just finished a new build, intel e6600 with a Zalman CNPS9500 LED...

 

Its been running at an almost constant 39c to 40c... and it's a lot quieter then the last one, AMD 3200 with a stock fan ...

I actually got this because I was have some freeze ups with FSX ...

And I wasn't sure if the AMD would handle LOBS...

I went all the way out this time and got everything new including the key

board and mouse, which I actually just picked up 2 days ago, the Logitech DNovo Laser ... Any way the list is so long it would bore the heck you of you guy's ..

Another thing that I like is the case, its an Asus 360 in red...

Anyway I'll post some new pics in a few days and give everyone the lowdown of all of the parts...

Hehe, join the club.

 

I'm celebrating a new job so the wife agreed I should just go for it and have a good time. :)

 

My wife is getting the rig I am using now so she is pretty excited.

Lapping isn't that difficult if done correctly. :)

 

You can get some pretty nice temp improvements out of it.

You dont have to run the memory at 1:1 FSB. Most motherboards will allow you to divide, and therefor run value RAM, but still overclock the CPU quite nicely.
