Re: Intel core 2 duo e6850 3ghz
you should be able to hit 3.6ghz
it really depends on having a good heatsink cooller liek the zalman 9700 or better yet / thermalright 120 ultra extreme high performance ram with timings of 4-4-4-12 and 2.1volts such as DDR2-800 (PC2-6400) or DDR2-8500 with timings of 5-5-5-15 at 2.1 volts good airt flow within your case is a must >>>> I suggest at least 200mm's worth of incoming fresh air and at least the same in exaust air ? you also need a high quality power supply ????? what is the make and model of your PSU ????

Re: Intel core 2 duo e6850 3ghz
The CL-4 memory @ 2.1 volts sticks will give you the best performance
win xp can handle 4 gigs of memory on most boards however 3.5 gigs will be what actually shows as usable due to the limits of a 32bit operating system many gamers I know have found running 2 x one gig matched pair sticks with 2 x 512 mb patched pair often times will run faster than 4 x one gig sticks it really depends on how willing your motherboard is to play nice with four sticks of memory >>>>> as long as you have the options in the bios to tweak the vdimm voltage (memory voltage) as well as the northbridge voltage you should have no trouble getting four sticks of one gig to purr in win xp 32-bit >>>>>> its the motherboards that dont have full overclocking features that struggle to run four sticks of memory in an efficient manner

Re: Intel core 2 duo e6850 3ghz
once you have an interest in some model numbers of motherboards / I suggest you research some motherboard reviews on the models you are interested in to be sure they have a full featured set of overclocking options then you will be assured the best chance for maximum performance
most all DDR2 boards need the Vdimm to be increased to around 2.1 volts (if the memory you have allows it ????) and often times you will need to raise the northbridge voltage a tweak

Re: Intel core 2 duo e6850 3ghz
The E8400 will overclock to 3.6ghz with no effort whatsoever!! just raise the FSB number too 400mhz and all other settings at stock and you will ahcieve a painless 600 mhz
the E8400 will go to 4.0ghz and maybe above with some serious tweaking 3.8 ghz can be had on a 24/7 basis (i do) without too much hassle anything above 3.6ghz and you will need an aftermarket cpu cooler my cooler preference is the thermalright ultra 120

Re: Intel core 2 duo e6850 3ghz
if you are careful yes
one of our Moderators named Mattlock has his board at 4.0 ghz most all the time! I personally stay a tad more conservative = 3.8ghz all the time

Re: Intel core 2 duo e6850 3ghz
then i overclock it to 3.4ghz and think to buy a new fan that is perfect to overclock more
you can get to 3.6 ghz perfectly easy with zero risk >>>>> above 3.8ghz and you start to accept a higher degree of risk for component damage >>>>> unless you are an extreme gamer I dont reccommend anything above 3.6ghz to anyone what do you do with this machine most of the time ???????????
