Intel Core 2 Duo E6600

Pizzaman · 11-03-2006, 12:29 PM

I would like to overclock my CPU, i have heard the E6600 can handle 3.0Ghz at 100% stability. How do i overclock it though? Thanks in advance

Have you read through Overclocking 101 (Oc101) ?

You can't overclock a Dell, either in the BIOS or from within Windows.

I haven't tried it with the newer dells, and my old P3 overclocks in such big increments that it doesn't work.

IF you can overclock it, you MIGHT be able to get it to 3.0, but you can't adjust voltage, and that's a problem. Next time, don't buy a dell

The new ones (as far as I know) are configured somehow so if you try to raise the speed even a few Mhz, it will crash. I tried it on the Dell I used to have back in March, and if I tried to get it from 2000MHz to 2002Mhz, it would lock up.

Even my motherboard, which doesn't have voltage controls, is only able to bring mine up to 2.05, which is horrible. I doubt he could reach 2.6Ghz if he was able to OC it.

Sorry to go off topic but would the e6600 really wipe its ass with the 4200+?
Are you talking about the X2 4200+?

An E6300 would compete with an X2 4200+...The E6600 is better than the FX-62.

the e6300 is better than the X2 4200+ in most apps, and the e6600 is better than the FX-60 in most apps.
just check benchmarks.

in fact even the e6400 beats the FX-60 in some benchmarks.

the FX-60 does beat it in some benchmarks, but in most practical everyday applications the core 2 duo is a better architecture than athlon 64... not to mention the fact that you save a bit of money on your electric bill, and its MUCH more overclockable lol

So it something you would actually see and feel in real world apps. not just benchmark numbers?
