We both bought ours from ZZF a few weeks ago.

Kinda related... just ordered a BP from monarch (retail) gonna give it a whirl see how it does and if it sucks I'll probably buy one of these just to see how it'll do.

 

[frododies]

Ok, I'm going to edit this.
I'm running at 2207 on stock voltage now.
HT at 4x245, mem at 200. Prime95 is stable.
I'll stick with this for a while before bumping up anymore.

bump for my results. I went pci-e and got the dfi Ultra D refyrb from newegg. I think the results speak for themselves...
2.7ghz overclock. It failed prime after two minutes though. also this was my first overclock with this board, i dived right in. Once I get my other parts, I will reformat and do this the right way. I just wanted to update you guys. Ill keep you updated with my final oc.

Just a heads up. the price dropped to 113 I think on ewiz but no more free shipping. I think shipping was like 7 bucks then Tax for us CA folks. the BP is like 117 I think too so it went down a little bit as well.

Any thoughts on a refurb from newegg? I was thinking of going that route, being there are selling them very cheap, I am just afraid of getting burned on it. I know some people say just RMA it til you geta good one. ANy thoughts?

 

[frododies]

I jumped up too, and I'm actually surprised it's held up so far.
Currently I'm at 2506, and I've been stepping it up slowly today. I have some corsair value select, and I think I'll need to use another divider if I go much further.
ht: 4x279 mem: 228
I set up auto voltage in my bios, and cbi has been showing it steady at 1.472.
Load temp is 37c, no errors in prime95 yet.

Thats good. I am hoping to get the same. What is your setup?

 

[frododies]

I using an a8n-e with 2x512's of those cheap corsair vs's.
The x700 pro I got ended up going 500 core, 470 mem. I'm pretty happy with it all so far, for a sub-$500 box.

The board was good, but the refurb x800xl videocard that I got was missing a capacitor. You win some and you lose some but most of the time I order a refurb, it works well and more than half of the time it comes with accessories. Its was a risk that I was willing to take, but after the video card incident, I will try and stick to new products. I dont want push my luck.

Also, 2.7ghz was stable, but only with 1.65 voltage. Even then though, the temps never got above 49c but that was too much for. I am currently at 2.6ghz stable, much lower temps/voltage.

 

[fscussel]

what results are people here getting from E6, any better than E3??

 

[aiya24]

i just got my e6 3000+ today and will be getting the rest of my parts tomorrow so i'll have some results to post hopefully by the weekend. i got it off ewiz $135 after shipping and gay tax still a better deal than other places.

oh, my stepping is:
LBBWE 0530CPFW

 

[Sirgap]

I got my BW last week, I have been tweaking to get it 2745Mhz, it was stable for everything except 3Dmark03 & 05 so reduced to 2682 @1.675and stable for prime95 for at least 3.5 hours.

did you get it from E-WIZ?

 

[blckgrffn]

See sig, I am pretty damn happy with this one, much better than the previous two...

 

[cheetoden]

After reading this thread for a while, I decided to bite on a "BW" from Ewiz. I got a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum refurb from Newegg for $65 shipped. I also got Thermaltake Venus 12 to mount on that 3000+. I stuck with AGP so I could use my refurb x800 PE with it.

 

[intogamer]

they charge for shipping

 

[cheetoden]

Yea, it was about $128 shipped. I should've bit a little sooner.

 

[Sirgap]

no, I got from overclockers.co.uk

You should have bought DFI LanParty ULTRA D for $80 from newegg refurbished. Which you could have moded to SLI, or you could get $95 MSI NEO4 PLatinum SLI. Why did you bought NEO2 for $65.
Only $15 more would have gave you more options like SLI, great overclocking options & SLI Chipset, with some nice onboard sounds.

Why would he buy an Ultra D or Neo4? Did you not read his post? He has an AGP card that is more than enough to handle every game out right now. He has NO REASON to go PCI-e. He can't SLI an AGP card, the overclocking on the NF3 is just as good as the NF4, and the sound on both sucks equally.
