Very nice indeed. It's very hard to clock those quads because they get hot very quickly 
But from what I see in your sig, it's on water so it should be pretty cool..

Thanks, When I left for work she was priming at 64-65-67-72c , One core is alway 6-7c hotter than my lowest one.

Least not the only one that feels bad that on water (well you have a quad at least) and run really warm. Heck I run warmer on water than air, but benifit is that I cool my GPU.

Very nice work. 
Heck, I've never really hit 500 stable on a dual core yet.

more like p35 is the best of ocing a quad. while asus pumps out bios's left and right.Nasgul said:
this guy here is the only one i could find with a ip35-pro and quad.

seems his good ram has bit the dust so 490mhz, though once you hit 500 the 1333fsb strap is forced. you would be better of running 499mhz since its still on the 1066 strap.

Nice Catch! I didnt notice that Yes I am running at 111mhz on my pci-e bus.
I will have to check into that when I get home.
BTW it 90 degrees here in Charlotte this am so those are my down south summer temps
Evilsizer - I read eva2000's post and will back it down to 499. i just wanted to see my quad at the magical 500fsb.

How stable is that? Something you can run 24/7 running apps and games? Or is this strictly for benchmark purposes? Sometimes I get confused if people OC with stability for gaming and such, or just enough stability to run SuperPi or 3D Marks or whatever the benchmark is. If someone could clear this common misconception for me up that would be great. Very nice OC by the way

Beautiful! 
Where do you get memory that does 1/2 ghz at 4-4-4-9?
I think its been shown that more FSB doesn't improve performance beyond 1:1 so why dumb the processor down to 7x? I assume Intel has picked the optimum setting of 10x for a 266 FSB, so it seems the best results should be achieved by overclocking at the optimum multiplier. Which would mean a 350 FSB?

I know my memory is good up to 485Mhz with 4-4-4-8 and thats 4Gigs of memory my old Mobo wouldn't go any faster than that though.

well i can run 7x476mhz=3.33ghz 24/7 no problem. i have been a bit lazy on getting the rest of my benches done for my ip35-pro thread. got that on the books for this weekend or if i lucky i can get some done each night this week.PrometheuSBoxeR said:How stable is that?

orthos will be the time taker since i go for 8hr + stability.

Thanks, that 24/7, my normal 24/7 is 450x8 at 3600. I run it 3800+ for benching and try to indicate that when I post . I don't want people to get the wrong imppression and think they are going to be running some piece of hardware at some crazy speed 24/7.

i think you arent scoring enough, my cpu scores about same in superpi..
try mem 4-4-4-12 instead of 4-4-4-9, i've heard from some people that that is faster

The Pi score will be low because of Vista and the strap change at 500Mhz.
