Here is one taking the E6600 ($500 cheaper) to 4GHz.

wahey, if I am a bit more familiar with my new E6600, I think i will give this a try! sounds very promising!

Overclocking is dangerous.

especially too over like this.

Though someone give me a x6800 for free, I just use it with no overclock and not try overclock.

I am at 20% overclocking and the systems runs very fine, even CPU temperatures are very low!

hehehe firebird,

I'm jealous of your machine.

but I think you will, ....so no deal.

Pumping a Core2 X6800 all the way up to 4GHz!!!

so with my experience with my E6600 pumping up a X6800 is not the big deal, means easy to do and not getting in trouble!

I run my machine at 30% overclocking still at low temperatures!

so the X6800 is @ 2,97, if you overclock by 30% you reach 3,86 MHz!

hmmm I´d like to know what temperatures this system runs then ???

quoted from the September issue of Maximum PC magazine review:

About the Core 2 Extreme X6800, ....

"Running at it's stock 2.93Ghz clock speed and under full load, the processor simply doesn't get hot. We thought we had it wrong, so we unplugged the power to the heatsink fan, loaded up the proc again, and it still ran for hours."

It ran for hours with out a fan -- wtf? ....alien technology, ..no doubt.


Also this:

"The CPU wars haven't seen this kind of all-out-ass-kicking in the last decade. The original Athlon 64-FX-51 was fast when it launched, but it didn't put the hurt on Pentium 4 like this. "
