Finally lapped my Thermalright Ultra120 Extreme. The heatsink base was extremely CONVEX!
The lapping work took me more than 6 hours. Used 320x2, 400x2, 600x2, 1000, 1500 and 2000grid wet/dry 3M sandpapers. (more details and pics on this in the air cooled forum )



FSB 470 * 8 @ 3760MHz 8Hrs+ Small/LargeFFT Prime Stable - Final stable OC in the summer season.


LargeFFT Stress test is known to output the maximum heat, power consumption and stress to the entire system.
P5K-Dlx, Q6600 G0 and Ballistix Tracers all sustained the long 8Hrs+ torture at the given voltage : clock speed
For reference purposes, I have also attached the 8Hrs+ SmallFFT Prime stable screenshot below for you to see "a noticeable difference in the LOAD Vcore".
It appears that LargeFFT does actually puts out more stress so the Vcore further drops down to 1.4720v from 1.4800 OCCASIONALLY.
Whereas in SmallFFT, the load Vcore always remained at 1.4800 flat throughout the 8Hrs+ Prime.
So both results yields that the system is rock stable with its current OC settings :up: and I must say it again - What a FANTASTIC OC result on air






Finally the moment you all have being waiting for: Complete Asus P5K-Deluxe BIOS Configuration. FYI


Please feel free to use it for your reference. The configurations shown above may not be 100% identical for all cases.
You're welcome


4GHz Quad just for the fun of it. Notice that the voltage doesn't need to go through the roof to acheive this clock



Here is the CPU-Z Validation. With the amount of current given voltage, it's enough to do some easy tasks beside Priming of course.

Nice post Tiramisu.

Semi good news for P5N32-E SLI people:
Two P5N32-E SLI owners (Treatment X and NCspecV81) have been able to get up to 375FSB with the latest 1203 BIOS... 3.37GHz without mods... hopefully this means that ASUS will be able to raise/keep raising the GTL voltages via BIOS updates?

Do you think it would be possible to get 4.0ghz stable with a watercooling loop? particularly one with the Fuzion, DD-D5, and a '77 bonneville heatercore?

NCspecV81

=o)

real voltage is 1.54-5 per the bios - not sure why speed fan has it inflated

Also, NCspecV81 got his revised EVGA 680i board and seems to have matched Tiramisus experience with it... 3.8 and hit 4.0 but not certified just yet
EDIT: Oh! is that to reserve a post to later edit with screens NC? hope so

Orion, I'd bet on it

Wow... These things are clocking like mad. I can't wait to see water results...

hey and what about when NC gets to his Phase experimentation... I saw his CPU system sig section said that, hehe... what sux for me is that with 3.4GHz it will be tough to want to switch out MoBos....

Hey Paul, you know ur stuff really well, let me ask you.... is ASUS was able to bring up the FSB wall from ~350 to 375 with a BIOS update, does that mean that they can control GTL voltage with updates and therefor we might see the wall simply disappear with future BIOS updates?

NC, please run Prime and update with stability info. Tiramisu's post is a great example of what posts should end up looking like for everyone's benefit.

Im sure we'll see some pretty quick. I havent seen anyone on here overclocking them with water yet, but there will probably be results before too long. If nobody has them up by the time I get mine in, Ill take lots of pictures and post temperatures and overclocking results. My chip hasnt even started shipping from ClubIT though, so It might be a while But that gives prices a chance to go down, so im not too worried.

Agreed. We need a few more Q6600 owners to put up some overclocking results, week/batch numbers, etc.

So that we can more-accurately hypothesize the potential of the latest run of CPUs.

I really wish my two attempts would've turned up a G0... I may try one more time so that I can get two different weeks to try out... but it's already so close to the TankGuys [estimated] arrival date that I dunno if it's worth my time.

well hey guys, I was just running Prime95 right now let it go like 15 minutes into the run just to get a screenshot, but I will continue to let it run and will update when I make it back in tonight. I'll leave you with this however:
