Just recieved my E6300 Conroe from TD. I changed my mind and am sticking to my current system.

TD gave me a UPS tracking number but UPS website is still showing "Billing information received". I hope that it gets shipped/scanned later tonight and is not lying in the TD warehouse overnight :(
Same thing with the P4 1.6A chips. These used to do 2.40Ghz @ default voltages also (50% overclock). I had one that did 2.60GHz at one notch above default...great chips just like the 300A.
I am sure that the E4300 will be almost the same but it is coming out a bit too late
I still remember my 1.60A doing 2.40Ghz at default voltages (50% overclock at default volts).
My 2.53B used to do 3.2GHz-3.30GHz at one notch above default.
The highest clock I got with a 2.8C was 3.7Ghz at slightly above default.
All on the Abit IC7-G motherboard (great mobo at the...

For those of you in the SF Bay area, you can pick it up...
if you are going to do that, can you pls lmk in advance ? In that case, I would be willing to become a dog for you :) ;) for few minutes just when you feel like feeding :D
I have had P95 error out at ~9 hours :(
Heres what I do:
Initially, i do 5 min to determine the max OC.
Then, when I have a rough idea, i do 30 min.
After, I have found the approximate settings, i let it run for ~24 hours.
I note down all the settings, restore everything to default...
just received my 2nd 165 (ordered on tuesday evening) and it is again a 0610DPMW. now, i have 2 0610DPMWs with me (my earlier one does ~2.85Ghz @ 1.40v actual)
lets see how this one does...will try this chip later in the weekend.
Thanks..that was why i initially purchased the 22g ceramique tube (much cheaper and easier to clean...i dont do phase change).
Only reason I was wondering about AS5 was b/c mostly everyone is using AS5 and each HSF/CPU post says to get some AS5 with your HSF/CPU. Why dont people just...
wish I had some AS5 :(. I am using Arctic Ceramique which is better than AS3 but a tad "not" better than AS5 (i think 1-2C difference between AS5 and ceramique).
but even ceramique needs couple of days. I will run it at 2.8Ghz for couple of days at 1.36v and then go back to ocing it later..
What is the safe max temp for these 165s under load ? i am already running in high 50s (58-60) when on 1.53v using the Scythe Ninja hsf.
the cpu runs very cool when using 1.36v @ 2.80Ghz (~45 on full load) but ~58-59 at 2.93Ghz @ 1.53v :(
