E6700 **4 GHZ** Conroe Power At Long Last For The Jabba

[Jabba]

What can I say that hasn't been said by Dan already, except that its even more "snappy" to use than I thought it would be.

Just a quick small overclock (and new JW record) before I get the serious hardware on it tomorrow.

freeking hell :shock:

yeah, we all know it already.... but it doesn't make it any less unfuckingbelievable!

I wonder how quick photoshop would be with a conroe.... I know its time to upgrade the PC...

hows the 4M calculation? 1: :shock: 30.9 :shock:
yeah, I'm stuck in the stone age with a 7:06 or something :P

Damn I bet you are feeling happy rite now huh? Congrats. Now pics of the case please. :P

[Jabba]

Well I know there is alot more expected from it tomorrow, and if it doesnt produce, then it will be regarded as a failure sadly :?

jabs how fast does ur desktop boot up?

Thats more to do with disk speed and I am only on a single 10K raptor right now, tomorrow I will have two 74GB raptors in a raid 0...maybe aim for something like 30 secs...but as I leave my computer running 24/7..boot up times don't really worry me too much.

Yeah really. Hope everything arrives in top condition tommorow. Just be sure to post us the test results! :D

I can live with 3.4 ghz just that I want the magic 4.0 GHZ.

Damn rite you want that 4.0 ghz one! What was the price for the processor and the mobo and what not?

[evoWalo]

thanks jabs! do you have the raptors w/ the transparent case?

[Jabba]

Think £130 for the mobo and £330 for the conroe.

[Jabba]

thanks jabs! do you have the raptors w/ the transparent case?

Sadly not, and what do you think I am FLASH or something ??

:lol:

BTW looks like you got a hella deal. Even though the processor sounds expensive I bet its worth all that money! Now mind showing us the case? :wink:

[dutchmasterflex]

You should really buy a Samsung Solid State flash hard disk ;)

[Jabba]

A long time and a lot of hard work and a fair bit of bravery with a £330 cpu, but all is good at 4 GHZ !

GOD DAMN! :shocked!:

That is pretty sweet! What kinda cooling is that? I know its not water cooling. I dont think I have seen or heard about something like that?

And 4m calu's in 1 minute and 16.094 seconds! Pretty sweet!

congrats. :clap:

[Jabba]

Its phase change cooling at -34c idle and -26c load (see red LED in picture), the phase change I want to get though is good for -70c and that might get me 5 GHZ with my old P4.

Check this out and you will see some people have got to -150 and thats cooooold.

WOW thats freaking insane! If you get yours anywhere near that I bet you will get at least 4.5 ghz eaily out of that 6700! I bet this is hella more expensive than water cooling! I am gonna go look around some sites and see what others have done.

I bet you can keep ice cream cold in there! :icecream:

[exhausted mules]

you have phase and your using an ultra psu???

edit: you might want to switch to a higher grade unit if you plan on running a 24/7 computer.


ultra's are notorious for catching fire, having bad rails and horrible manufacturing.


think of it as an american car compared to a german car.

:)

[Jabba]

You need a single rail PSU with at least 28A on the 12 V rail to run a vapo XE, not many of these around now (nearly all are split rail) and the Ultra is one of them.

I just blew up an OCZ powerstream 520W (single rail) and before that a PP&C Turbo, so once these are back from RMA they will take over from the Ultra.

congrats jabba :D i'm so jealous!! :lol:

[Jabba]

I might sell that system if anyone wants a conroe guaranteed 4 ghz system ?

[exhausted mules]

I heard Zippy psl-6850p's are good. you should check them out if your having problems with the lower end stuff.
