Overclocking P5B Deluxe System

[stocky]

Need a bit of rather general advice on this new system. Most of the components are new to me, so...

What is the hot spot voltage for DDR2 and what shouldn't I go above?

What voltage is ideal for the E6600 on air/ water/ phase.

What clocks should I expect from what voltage and cooling?

Cheers folks :B

Patriot RAM can normally take 2.1v or 2.2v all day long if they 6400's. My Team stuff is sitting happy at 2.2v all the time.

Air cooling i dunno cos I never upped the volts on air, water I've gone to 1.6v and phase I think u can go up as high as 1.8v but I've never had my chip on phase yet.

Clocks will all depend on the chip d00d.

What approximate clocks are often seen? What is a good clock on water?

i have some OCZvx ram witch im running at 2.3.water u should get good clocks but u will probly have to keep an eye on the volts phase i just set to max volts and pushed as for as it would go....lol

air/water maybe 3.8, maybe 4.0 GHz on a really good chip for benching? Volts...maybe 1.5V on water for 24/7?

A lot of decent PC6400/8000 are rated at 2.1/2.2V anyway, so maybe 2.4VDIMM 24/7 with a fan over it.

Depends on the stepping CPU wise, decent stepping will hit 4ghz benchable on water/good air at ~ or under 1.6v. More for phase obviously - should be ok close to 1.8 if not more for bench sessions...

Voltage wise, if you've got D9 based IC's 2.5 or more is fine for benching, wouldnt run over ~2.3-2.4 24/7 without some sort of active cooling though.
