The previous news about the overclock of engineering model processor core 2 Duo e6320 (1.86 GHz) to the frequency of 3.55 GHz with the use of regular air cooler make higher interest of overclocker in the processors from this series. Let us recall that the processors core 2 Duo e6320 (1.86 GHz) and Core 2 Duo e6420 (2.13 GHz) will be announced during April and they will be based only on the stepping B2 core conroe with valuable 4 mb cache in the second level, in this case their price will not differ from the cost of other CPU with the analogous frequencies, but with smaller cache volume in the second level. Interest in these processors is not only overclock amateurs , but also for those who prefer large caches.
Yesterday's experiment on the overclock of processor core 2 Duo e6320 was accompanied by two wishes: to install in the processor water-block and to test the engineering model of processor core 2 Duo e6420 (2.13 GHz), which possesses higher multiplier. Victor vans member of forum xtremeSystems.org has this processor. As our permanent readers remember, precisely this overclocker with the aid of water cooling system and modified motherboard series asus p5B-Deluxe was able overclock the processor core 2 Duo e4400 (2.0 GHz) stepping L2 to the frequencies of 3.6-3.7 GHz.
Using the same components, Victor installed in motherboard the engineering model processor core 2 Duo e6420 (2.13 GHz) stepping B2, possessing maximum multiplier 8x. with the voltage on the core 1.51 v and water cooling , the processor was overclocked to 4.0 GHz, preserving in this case the ability to execute the test super PI 1M.
Longer test as super PI 8M was passed already at the frequency 3780 MHz, the frequency of system bus in this case was increased to 540 MHz. we cannot be asserted that owner of each processor core 2 Duo e6420 (2.13 GHz) can repeat similar results ; however, this already encourage. Related Products :
