About LinkBacksI still have to choose a CPU and I am hesitating between a E6600 or a Xeon 3060.
Is the Xeon 3060 compatible with the motherboard Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 ?

Yes...I used a 3060 for a week or two in this board...

Nope...my 6600 does better than my 3060. Upwards of 3.8+ on the 6600 and barely stable at 3.6 on the 3060. The good thing with the 3060 is that it runs 10~15c cooler (I've confirmed this on three different boards, not a fluke on the IN9). I had high hopes for it when I noticed the lower temps but she just won't cooperate. Still nice to have as a daily cpu on air with a decent OC. This was several weeks ago before there were any new bios to try so it was with the shipping bios. I also confirmed that the cpu is a dog on the other boards, not just the IN9...Didn't try the 6600 in the IN9 as i was waiting for a 6800 but it looks like I've been ripped off on that deal. Still hoping for a resolution. Anyway, the Fatality is sitting on my coffee table while I try and get a hold of another processor (same as it's big brother IN9 MAX).
Ok, thanks for your reply.
Lowered to 1.525 Bios 1.48v load and dropped NB to 1.43vMayhaps after another hour or so try lowering vcore just a notch...my 6600 takes 1.5v to run at 3.6ghz...obviously they are all a little different but I'd still try and keep lowering it unless you've already gone through that exercise
Running another Orthus test 1hr in cores @53c
cheers
Generally, recent Conroes (whatever they're badged as) overclock much worse than early samples. Anything after about Week 40 of 2006 will require a lot of volts to go much further than ~3.4GHz unless you're very lucky. I guess they tweaked the production process for yield rather than scalability, or maybe they're using the best cores for Kentsfields...?
Allendales have never clocked as well as early Conroes, and are a little bit less consistent. My week 42 needs 1.375v to do 3.2GHz, which is apparently quite good for an E4300 - not much of a consolation when week 22-35-ish E6300s will hit 3.6GHz+ on that voltage on the right board.

i got me an E6600 today - i will have a play abouy with it tonight and see if i can get any higher fsb going.
Also have an 8800GTX in my boot, but waiting for my corsair 520w to arrive tomorrow
Hopefully you will have more luck with the E6600.i got me an E6600 today - i will have a play abouy with it tonight and see if i can get any higher fsb going.
Also have an 8800GTX in my boot, but waiting for my corsair 520w to arrive tomorrow
I still have to use 1.550v cpu in the bios though to achieve 3.6.
Ordered aThermalright HR-05 SLI Chipset Cooler to see if it lets me drop voltage.
Strange thing is my standard NB barely gets luke warm as it is!
Idle temps in core temp are 25/22 and 59 full load so i guess the tuniqs working very well.
didnt have chance with the e6600 and im at a bloody concert tonight too
though - i dont see how better cooling on your NB will allow you to DROP NB voltages whilst Increasing Stability? have you tried upping your NB voltages?
Yep you're right, hasn't made any difference at all.didnt have chance with the e6600 and im at a bloody concert tonight too
though - i dont see how better cooling on your NB will allow you to DROP NB voltages whilst Increasing Stability? have you tried upping your NB voltages?
Even with NB upto full 1.58 its still cool to touch.
CPU 1.550v is only way it remains orthus stable (NB 1.43 / VVT 1.28)
Strange...my NB got pretty damned hot without a fan blowing on it.
Settled for 3.55GHz - 1578x9 @1.5v CPU 1.46v load
VTT 1.28
NB 1.35
temps 23/21 idle 51 load
Very happy with that
strange my NB is HOTT without a fan on it, and even with a fan on it it is HOT! and thats at 1.43v!
tonight im going to try to get my new psu and gfx card installed and see how that goes!
My NB is really hot with fan blowing on it. I know I actually manage to lower the pwm with my fan as it's not centered over the nb.
Here is a pic of how my fan is mounted.
The metalplate over my cpu-block is a custom built one that I did as I didn't fancy buying a s775 mounting kit for my mcw6002 cpu block.
ya i installed new PSU last night (Corsair 520w hx) and it made no difference to my stability or OCing
