Re: modest overclock on Intel Core 2 Duo E6550
Now for a little fun and since somebody asked. Max overclock on stock voltage of 1.35 V.
I was able to reach 3.43 GHz stable, but unfortunately my stock cooling cannot handle the heat, letting temperatures reach 60 degrees Celsius.
Of course, this will not be my daily overclock.
The computer has been updated with a new SATA DVD burner - SAMSUNG SH-S203N and a new power supply - 430 W SeaSonic M12II SS-430GM, being modular is very nice and uses a quiet 120mm fan. The HSF has also been reseated with AS5 thermal paste and after proper curing, temperatures drops are around 1-3 degrees Celsius compared to the stock thermal paste Intel used.
The old (still very new) DVD burner and power supply will be used to upgrade my mother's Pentium 4 desktop.
Pictures of the case and all the fun internals will come sometime in the future.
