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

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?

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

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

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:

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

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:

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:

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.

:)

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:

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

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

Sell? But you just got it!
