very nice CMH, that's a great oc, for that cput, what mobo are you using. I decided to stock my quad because of instability issues. Would you advise me to get some dominator ram, how much do you think it could help with overclocking?

I hope I can get similar results with the Core 2 I'm getting in about a month I haven't decided whether it will be a 4300, 6320, 6420, or 6600 yet... I want the 6600, but I also want to save money to get a few other things... a really nice new keyboard chief among them, along with a bigger hard drive.

In response to supersmashbrada, good RAM will help. However, which one is best for you seems like a very tough question. You mentioned yourself that your motherboard is quite finicky about which RAM it will take, so I reckon anything that works would be good. I haven't really dug into it, but alot of people are recommending the G.Skill HK RAM (I think), so I think that might be something you'd want to look into.



I personally aren't bought with those fancy RAM cooling solutions. I think I'd be better off with the same RAM without those cooling solutions, and add a fan on it, like a thermaltake cyclo thingy. They're noisy, but given that you're living with a Freezone in there, a little more noise won't hurt.



Thanks for the comment cfitzarl, I must agree its a pretty good overclock. I recently just lowered the voltages, and it seems stable at 1.3875V, instead of the 1.4V I had earlier. I decided that 1.4V was the very tops I'd go, so I set it immediately at 1.4V and looked for the highest clock I could get. I personally believe that the chip could easily do 1.55V without going for a smoke, and have some awesome overclocks, but I need it quiet....



MetalX, you should be able to get these overclocks easy. At another forum, it seems like alot of people are getting such overclocks, some at a lower voltage as well. However, I have doubts with some of those overclocks, given that none have concrete proof of stability, and they're on lower grade chips (G or H week chips doing better than my B week?!!). Yeap, look out for B-week chips, I actually raided all the computer stores in my area for this one.
