First of all: This is NOT A Pentium D. It is a Pentium Dual Core. They are different. Google is your friend.
Hey guys, I've recieved an offer on another forum (A Q8200 fo $100 USD
) So i'm selling my trusty Pentium E6300 to pay for it. It's just the chip, no cooler. It's a good overclocker, as you can see here i got 4ghz on it:
It was not Prime95 stable at that voltage though. It needs about 1.45v or 1.5v for that clockspeed (i have not tried due to heat) I don't know the VID yet, when i get home i will check it out. It's pretty much the same as any other wolfdale chip, but with less cache and fsb i believe. it's an R0 stepping, for what it's worth.
It maxed out at 64c at 3.8ghz with 1.425v (it droops to 1.38v on my board) for me, this on air and idling at 37c. When i lived in a cooler climate it would idle at 22c with this voltage, on the same cooler, and maxed out at 55c. it obviously benefits from cooler temperatures.
I think it would be a good chip to watercool, but that's too expensive for me. Anyway I'm asking $90 AUD shipped for it. this is about $30 less than retail here, it may be different in other countries. But remember, no cooler included, just the chip.
The chip is a bottleneck in my system, judging by 3dmark06:
I don't know what the highest clock is for this chip, but it's currently running 1450 FSB (default is 1066) in unlinked mode for overclocking.

The VID (voltage) appears to be 1.280v on default:

if that's your plan.

Aussies get screwed on the prices of basically anything that's imported. I've known a few online that will actually buy stuff in the 'States and have it shipped there because the prices are so bad.
It's not a dual core pentium 4. Look at the CPU-Z please.
