Good Evening Everyone,
Praise the Lord - the E6850 has arrived! The new proc is installed in the GA-N680SLI-DQ6 Rev. 1 machine that I am using to write and send this posting. This little baby is humming along just fine at 3.6 GHz (400 x 9), with DDR2 @2.25V; CPU @1.425V; and all the other voltage settings @+.10V. The memory is clocking @533, 5-5-5-15-31-2T. The BIOS is still the F5b, but seems quite content with the new proc and these speed settings. There is definitely a considerable bit more headroom for OC on this proc than on my original E6600.
It will be interesting to see how things perform when the new NV chipset drivers arrive (hopefully this week), and also the Final F5 (or higher?) BIOS. I'll keep you posted on the results. Have a great evening. TheBeagle :beer:
