Your experiences with E6750 seem to be in line with mine.
Took mine to 8x450=3600 Mhz @1.55v Vcore-BIOS, but Orthos failed after 46 mins. Seemed to be stable if I lowered to 7x450 with everything else the same, so I assumed it was the CPU (and not FSB wall or too low voltage on northbridge etc). Too high voltage though so I decided to go lower FSB.
Trying 8x438=3504 Mhz @1.485v Vcore-BIOS as I'm writing this (@1.475v failed). Stable so far, but only for 30 mins yet. Core temps at 59C with Tuniq @ 2100RPM. (Thats with PECI disabled and +15 added to SpeedFan's core temps)
Vcore readings in Windows differ quite a bit from the BIOS setting. For example, with 1.485v Vcore-BIOS, SpeedFan reports 1.456v (during load). Kind of a big drop no?
For all above I've set the memory to 1:1 @5-5-5-18, 2.1v.
well, I loaded a beta bios and upped vdimm to 2.2 which is what it's rated at, and got it to boot finally at 440 and 450. Sorry @ all the other abit people, I was wrong to blame the mobo for my memory/chip problems. It looks like our systems are almost identical. My temps run a few degrees cooler but your voltages are a little bit better. I am also losing about .03v during load, that's the one thing that almost got me to for the more expensive asus mobo. I'm not exactly happy at 3.48 & 1.47v, but I have good temps and it's pretty darn close to what most others are at on an e6750. I'm just going to hold my breath and pray for good prices on penryn in 9 mos. I mean, seriously, how can sombody survive playing civ4 and kotor with only an e6750 @3.48??? I might not be able even play the games...
btw, what do you think is better on mem? I have 1066 mem, am I better going 4:5 and getting around 1050 or trying for 3-4-3-10 at 1:1?
