Gather 'Round

[proof]

My Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 is running at 3.0GHz. Now, some of you may be thinking "why is he telling us this, it is not even impressive". Ah but how wrong you are! It may be a minor overclock, but the impressive part is the 500MHz FSB. Yes, you heard correctly, my FSB is running at 500MHz. And even better, it is operating at stock voltage.

500 x 6 = 3000

Check here for an update and pics around 4:00 PM EST.

Interesting, my 680i doesn't post at 500FSB. Could be overheating though I didn't check. Did you lap and reseat the board's heatsinks with better thermal paste? There's a good guide to doing that on the EVGA forums, the crap they come with stock is actually a mess. Apparently its like glue and they hosed the stuff on like nobody's business, I'm going to try to get EVGA to send me an A1 revision as a replacement for my AR then clean it up.

 

[testbenchdude]

Intriguing. I'll come back later for some benchies.

 

[proof]

Yeah, I have the rev. A1 board. I did take absolutly everything off the board, lapped it, put Shin-Etsu on, and threw that b1tch back together. I also put Shin-Etsu on my GTXs. My proc idles at 34C and the Shin-Etsu hasn't even cured yet!

A couple hours of Orthos and Prime should "cure" that for ya

Ha well whatever. Anyway, what ever happened here? I'm guessing it wasn't stable after all...

 

[proof]

Its stable right now at 3.6 idling at 25C.

Well you're just a wealth of information now, aren't you.

So I guess we're supposed to take your word for it then? Bust up with the pics, man!

Verification dude.

lets see it :roll:

Maybe i should say PROOF.

I don't have a DFI board yet. They are sending me the BRAND NEW 680i board!!! ITS A MONSTER!!!

I score a 20000 in 3dmark06 with my 8900ultra gpu.

oh wait it isnt out yet :roll:

I will post the pics next week when I get it. They are also sending me the new Crossfire board.

 

[proof]

lol. I already have the TR MOSFET coolers and if you look at the new DFI LANParty board, it comes with a NB cooler.

Nah, I am doing them here. I am making a site though. Anyone wanna help?

 

[proof]

Absolutely. It's Proof, Skyguy, and I_Love_Tacos. You have MSN?

 

[proof]

 

[proof]

I can't get it past 4100MHz. The NB overheats and the voltage produces too much heat for the FreeZone. I am going to mod it though so I will aim for 4.5. You got MSN or AIM?

Look close at the NB sink.

And I am still on my EVGA.

 

[proof]

1) Thermalright HR-09S MOSFET Heat Sink (x2)
2) Lap North Bridge Heat Sink
3) Lap South Bridge Heat Sink
4) Replace all stock thermal paste with AS5

I lapped my X6800 and the FreeZone block.

What is it?

Edit: The Conroe IHS are soldered on. You can't take them off without melting the solder and the cores don't like that.

 

[proof]

K, what is it?
