I'm not using a divider with it; at 3.4GHZ, my RAM runs at 452MHZ (DDR2-906). This is with 2.25V and 4-4-4-12 timings.
My RAM is 2x1GB A-Data DDR2-800, with stock timings of 5-5-5-18. It's doing pretty nicely, I'd say.
Anyway, I'm able to run it at 3.4GHZ, prime95 stable, with 1.5V
at 3.5GHZ, I have to increase the voltage to at least 1.55 in order to run 3dmark05/06 properly, and at least 1.6V if I want to run prime95 for a while, though after a few minutes it will get errors.
So it looks like I need to burn in the CPU more, if I want it to be stable past 3,5GHZ. Either that or get vapour phase change cooling. But I don't have enough money for that.
I'm really liking how my motherboard is handling things, though. I couldn't ask for more from this motherboard.
Superpi is not a strength of AMD, but I'm consistently getting </=25 seconds in 1M at 3.4GHZ

i never have pulled less than 30 seconds on superpi. grrrr.
could you be getting the errors in p95 from the ram running too tightly?

Not bad, not bad. My E43 at 3.4GHz gets 16.813s.
The AMD chips are starting to look really nice now that the price has dropped down.

I don't think so. I tried limiting it to 667, to see how far my CPU could go. It didn't make a difference.
As it stands, I'll just try burning in the CPU (also, the AS5 needs to settle in)
I'll also need to replace the water in my watercooling system. There's a few spots of algae on the side of the reservior (not much, but there really shouldn't be any).
I'll also try looking up other coolants. ATM I'm using some blue coolant from Cooler Master.
Coolant & Dye
any recommendations are welcome. I'd prefer it to be blue, to match my case theme.

good luck then man keep us posted of the progress!
In the website you posted they have done 20 benchmark test. E6600 won in 12 of them and 6000+ won in 8 tests
I posted two websites in my previous post and E6600 won in the majority of benchmarks. In other word, three websites are showing that E6600 is overall better.
I never said that AMD 6000+ can't beat it in some of the tests.
I don't have problem if you say that 6000+ performs on par with E6600. Because the difference between those two is pretty small.
However, I was replying to "vernong1992" who claimed that 6000+ might perform on par with a e6600 or even beat it. And this is totally wrong, because it is completely the opposite. The words "or even beat it" has shocked me
However, even if we suppose that 6000+ performs on par with E6600. E6600 would still be the better choice for consumers since it consume much less power, and overclocks much better. And it cost the same.
