Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 4.40GHz

Here's a shot of my E6600 running at 4.40GHz on air. Of course if you do any real work the machine instantly crashes, but it sure made a good video.

Two parts--the first run is 4.30GHz (478MHz x 9) and tacked onto the end is the footage I had of the 4.40GHz (489MHz x 9) run.

This is entirely air cooled on a DFI ICFX3200-T2R/G with massively over-volted everything and upgraded chipset cooling.

Go figure. Intel CPU + AMD chipset = one happy system.

My E6600 is @ 3.4Ghz (378 x 9) with 1.3 vCore. It won't go any quicker than that without more power, would it be safe to give it more power? It only has the standard heat sync, 2 extractors and no water cooling. At the min I'm getting about 50-60 *C running win 7. Is that cool enough?

@applehelpification You're probably fine so long as you're giving it 1.45V or less and your temps are < 70C under extended load (say 15 mins at 100%).

and they he boots....and then it crashes.

@boldswede That's not a core dump, that's a DOS CPU info screen.  There was no OS.

Yeah, but mines 65nm :p... I win!

[Tbird761]

Later 65nm steppings were a lot more overclocking friendly. The chip I used for this video was first-run silicon.
