With a Vcore of 1.6v and ddr2 of 2.3v my amd 6000+ booted in vista and made it at least 5 minutes into othro's iterations.

sadly it only scored a 5.6 on my vista game score all the rest of my scores were 5.9.
This is on water (with an extra radiator)so it never got above 45c.

take that intel fanboysssss!!

My Core 2 E6600 gets a 5.5 at stock 2.4 GHz

...ill go back in my hole now.

So you went from 3.0GHz to 3.4GHz (13% overclock), cranked your core voltage, are glad you made it 5 minutes in a stress tool (but aren't running that 24/7), and had to use water cooling to do it?

My E8400 does 3.6 GHz (20% overclock, up from 3.0) without manually adjusting the voltage, runs Prime95 as long as I've cared to let it, scores 5.8 on the ever-accurate Vista "Windows Experience Index", and I haven't seen a temp above 41 degrees when using my Scythe Ninja. Running at 3.6GHz lets my memory (DDR2-800) run at a 1:1 ratio with the FSB. Oh yeah, and it's been running at that speed 24/7 since the day before they were officially released.

I compared my 3DMark06 CPU score with a stock AMD 6000+ just for giggles. My system, overclocked to 3.6GHz, gets a CPU score of 3217. The stock 6000+ got 2200 in the review I saw (http://techreport.com/articles.x/11886/6). At stock, I got 2600.

Not meaning to poop on your parade, but your last line ("take that intel fanboysssss!!" ) just asked for it. Personally, I'm glad that AMD continues to try to push Intel; the competition keeps the prices down, and progress going forward.

Oh, I also noticed in that article that the 6000+ debuted at $400+... Mine was $215 Canadian.

ok ok i was just proud of my overclock

Like I said, I really am glad that AMD keeps churning out some competition for Intel. And I'm not really proud of my overclock; all I did was go into the BIOS and change the 333MHz FSB to 400. Not like it took a lot of skill or anything.

From what I've seen on the 6000+, getting even a 13% overclock like yours is pretty darn good (and probably took more patience, skill and possibly even luck than mine). But it's nothing compared to what virtually any contemporary Intel processor can overclock. Heck, with my old E6300, I got a 25% overclock (from 1.86 to 2.33 GHz) with the same ease as my current overclock; go into the BIOS, type in 333 instead of 266 as your FSB speed, and you're done. No mucking with voltages, no radical cooling, nothing.

So enjoy your overclock, and I appreciate you supporting AMD to keep Intel in line. I thought about getting an ATI graphics card on my last round of upgrades just to put some more dollars in their coffers, but ended up going NVidia primarily due to the crappy warranties offered by virtually every ATI partner. It's my first non-ATI card in quite some time.

I applaud your efforts. Fight the man

Dude you should be, congrats, dont let the chest pounding get to you.

Lol how about my OC? 3.4Ghz e6300. I usually keep it at 3.2Ghz though, because it scares me at 3.4Ghz. It tested stable for an hour in Orthos before I turned it off though.

BTW, stock clocks on this CPU is 1.86Ghz with a 7x multiplier, which I'm pushing at 485 Mhz bus. The highest I want to push it for fear of damaging stuff. I'm only using air, Scythe Samurai.

Ryan - Nice OC for a 6K!

Nice OC's all round ...

o ya, I oc'd my amd 3500 from 2.2 to 2.3 in only 4 hours! now it's like lightning in a bottle baby!!

YA COME GET SOME!

Not bad for a 6000+. I've been trying to get my 5000+ BE to 3.4, but 3.31 has been the closest I can get stably. Good Luck!

Nice overclock... for AMD ...
