Also the #'s between where the orders skip, can we confirm those are pre-orders? or just regular orders?

hey pauldovi.... have you done this yourself before?

I am curious to see if I could do this to a Q6600 and get a higher clock than I will be limited to...

I have not done it. But it is suppose to work well.

so by being recognized as a 1333 it defaults to a 333FSB right?

now I don't understand how that benefits us since people say to have their Q6600's at 3.1 to 3.2 with 680i's and a 333FSB would equate to a 3.0GHz clock with the 9 multi... so you would still be under the maximum attainable OC

does the FSB ceiling shift up together with the stock FSB when doing this mod?

[pauldovi]

The idea of the mod is that it increases the northbridge straps (walls). It more has to do with the motherboard than anything else.

ok... I see... I am sorry... now I remember the info from your post...

so the MoBo would start off at 1333 which makes it more stable... I see... so because of that added stability we might be able to post at higher FSBs and reach a temperature ceiling instead...

im so tempted to do this with my e6420!

[Carmine23]

Just checked my order number and I am #4143 nice!

Maybe I should also list the average highest FSB hit per MoBo for the popular boards on the first post...

can anyone help me with that info?

Order #4188


Now the waiting begins.....
