This time around, however, our results were nothing short of spectacular. By bumping the processor's core voltage to 1.45v and increasing the front side bus speed via our Asus P5K Deluxe motherboard's BIOS, we were able to take the Core 2 Duo E6750 up from its default clock speed of 2.6GHz to an impressive 3.92GHz (multiplier=8x / Front Side Bus Frequency=490MHz. This was done using the stock Intel CPU cooler on an open-air test bench. At that speed, the CPU completed a Cinebench rendering pass in just 18 seconds and it blew past the Core 2 Extreme X6800 in SANDRA's Processor Arithmetic benchmark.

These new g0 stepping cores are the ones that clock so well. The new quads after July 22 will also be g0.

AMD must be crapping themselves with their 2.4 GHZ Phenoms.

That's seems pretty impressive indeed. I have read a similar article on a French site that had a 6850 clocked a 3.9 on stock cooler. As far as I am concerned, I don't know if I would be very comfortable to let my rig run at that frequency with the stock cooler for an extended period of time.

One big caveat. Don't expect to easily hit those overclocks without a new P35/P38 motherboard and fast ram. 1333 fsb's means lower multipliers. Going from the 6700 to the 6750 the multiplier goes from 10 to 8. Those 3.8 overclocks are with a 475fsb and memory at 950 1:1.

Yet another problem facing AMD, even if AMD can get Phenom to beat C2D by 40% clock for clock like they are estimating, Intel could probably just clock their processors 40% faster.

Interesting. That makes three sites/people reporting such OC good results: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=147890

Whoah, seems like this thread is halting me on getting that $250+ Q6600 8O ... At stock, you can reach at least 4Ghz, but imo i won't run it on stock cooler, i'll pair it up with a Zalman or a TR120EX :) ... With this proc. we can go 4Ghz running at most 24/7... Though a P35 board is needed, and a good RAM too...

Uhhm, speaking of RAM, do we need something faster than PC2 6400, or should it suffice?

Is that so surprising that a post needs to be made about it? I mean many people on this forum are close to that with $150 E6300's and E4300's. :roll:

ROFL, E6300 and E4300 are getting close to 3.9GHz on the stock cooler? Keep dreaming. :roll:

hmm I wonder what the quad will do.


If I buy from newegg on July 22, will it be forsure a new q6600 not some old one that has been in storage a while?

u probably have to wait a little a little longer than 22 or ask em what steppings they have

I was wondering about that, if you call Newegg and ask for a perticular stepping will they do it?

when will the penryn be out??

Could be wrong but I read late Q4 or early Q1 2008, but you would think they would try to get them out for the X-mas shopping season.

i dont know really because its such a big company but i cant see any problems with it, atleast doesnt hurt to try.

many of the shops in my country will do it.. but they aint as big as newegg.
