No, the new feat now is 3.4GHZ with 1403 bios version.

^I can push up to 3.5ghz stable, but with 1.62 Vcore!


It's unbelievable though, my idle load temps are only 45/60 prime95. I don't know if these settings will kill the chip over time b/c I thought heat is the biggest obstacle?

Isn't the point of water-cooling to push the chip to the maximum voltage while keeping temps down? If there really is a "voltage limit" then doesn't that defeat the purpose of water-cooling to maximize performance? Sounds like water-cooling only gives heat & noise reduction but not much "head room" over air-coolers.

Q6600 2.4/3.4ghz oc (BigWater 770 Watercooling) 25/48 makes the diference Hajpoj motherboard temp 35ºc

"^I can push up to 3.5ghz stable, but with 1.62 Vcore!"
Me 2 but only 1.5 vcore.

I haven't kept a chip more than a year so far, OCed the HELL out of them all and then dumped each off on craigslist... Maybe Intel will release a 10x multi quad as one last bang for LGA775(at least maybe a Xeon), if not I'll try and find a QX 45nm and aim for 4.0ghz+

IDK if that is due to the BIOS or the fact that you have a new revision of the P5NE-SLI. Your board is an A2 revision, mine was an A1. Could be that they beefed up the MOSFETs, as on the A1 revision getting clean voltage and adequate amperage was the problem with overclocking the Q6xx0 chips.

That said, I think it is likely since I could not get more than 1.325V with (hard) Vmod and BIOS set @ 1.5+V

[Psycho Maluke]

May be your right Ravin or may be not i don´t know, but since they release the 1403 bios for p5n-e sli some guys not only me can run with the same settings on bios 3.4ghz oc i must ask them if they boards are an A2 revision.

[Hajpoj]

Mine is A1 I think, and that makes sense that my chip might not be receiving the volts it's set to.

How can you tell if your board is A1 or A2?
