I just stuck a Athlon 64 X2 3800 into my mum's PC yesterday so I will bench it soon :)

The X2 is actually for a HTPC I am building, I've got a E6600 on the way for her PC so will bench that too once it gets here, I also have another E6600 coming too lol, that will be going on eBay unless anyone wants it for £15?

This is what happens when you have a father in the IT industry who has clients that upgrade their PCs and then just tell him to 'throw the old ones away' when they are still perfectly functioning.

I got 15x OEM PSU 250w + case with GA-G31M-S2L, 2GB Corsair-667MHz and C2D E7200 and 15x mobo+CPU+RAM without case or PSU to play with when my dad bought an architect company that had gone broke. Very nice to get this fully functional old hardware.

I really like overclocking.
My Q6600 chip is set to 1.25v if I reset CMOS, but it's stable at 3GHz with 1.232v in the BIOS :D

Core 2 Quads are awesome. ;) Will give this a run on the Q8300 on Wednesday or Thursday when my brother isn't using it. ;)

Just get a 11 euro waterblock from ebay and put the tubes on the watertab, then overclock that thing and let it fly! ;P
Cool the phase design with some fans, it could be risky sometimes for the mobo :D

I ran the test at 3.2GHz quickly and it scored around 9500 pts. Didn't post it, because I just set it to 356x9 and auto volt, so couldn't tell if it was 100% stable the entire run. (RAM is also affected by OCing the CPU)
Cooling the chip really isn't an issue. It runs incredibly cold if you ask me. On the stock cooler at 333x9 it runs a max temp of 80-83 in the Fractal Design Core 1000.
I'm thinking of putting it into a Coolermaster Elite 430 with a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo or Seidon 120M. Then it'll run really cool, for sure.
I have both of those coolers lying on standby, but none of them really fits in the Core 1000 ;(

Ran it on one of the school computers, don't have a way of hosting an image so I'll just tell you the scores.

4808 - Overall
1418 - Multi
1306 - 4 Threads
2084 - Single

This is on a Pentium Dual Core e5300 at 2.6Ghz with 2GB RAM

Haha, my school beats yours! :D
However, they seem to use the same CPUs, which is pretty interesting.

Haha nice! But I was also running some programs, and sometimes when the teacher was standing next to me, I had to do normal and do thing while benching :D Could have had impact.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. ;)

Just admit it - my E5300 is superior to yours (and Denther's). :p :D
