E6300 @ 2.8, who's got one?

Servo · 4 Aug 2009 at 22:08

Just got this today, but I've had the 4 grandchildren today, and have just got around to testing it.

I hope the image shows up.

It does boot at 400 x 10.5 but needs more than 1.40
Also boots at 450 x 10, but as soon as I launch prime, it reboots.

I can get mine to 3.15 but my HSF is slightly broken so can OC until I get a bolt through kit. Anything above 3.15 needs some fine adjusting to prime so settled with 3.15

EDIT - x10.5, I thought the multiplier on these only went up to 7?

They are the newer E6300 wolfdale, 10.5 x 266.

Best of all they are very cheap.

I have the e6400 conroe @ 3.4ghz 1.4v, gets quite hot thou 40c idle, 65c load.

Just tried playing around with the chip.

In the bios, I only changed the cpu volts to 1.36 and moved the fsb, results below.

1.36 is good for 3.9

I can't believe nobody here has tried this chip

I'M using the Asus P5Q pro to clock it.

I got one of the older ones (7x mulitplier) briefly tested it with an OC around 3.15ghz

Nice work Servo, I bet that chip flies at 3.9GHz :cool:

As for not many people having them, I guess a lot of people already had E8xxx or E5xxx chips when the new E6300 came out so not many people got bought them.

I see the confusion has set in already.

Can anyone explain the screwed up logic that lead Intel to re-use an old model number!?

Did'nt know they were available yet. Just had a quick look around and £57 is quite a good price for one of these. Might get one to replace my poor clocking E5200.

They do clock very well, I'm using mine at 4Ghz. but it will do more.

10.5 x 382 = 4011 at 1.38 in the bios with drop, 1.32
10 x 440 =4400 at 1.4 drop 1.365

The 4 ghz is very stable but the 4400 gets really toasty (70-72) water cooled.

I sold my quad to some lucky person above, I really do wish I kept it.

This chip will go into my media centre and I'll sell the 6850 thats in there.

E6300, is a great chip for the price, and I'm buying another for a friends build.

Ive got mine e6300 running at 2.8 by just uping FSB, still on stock volts, didnt want to go any higher as I didnt want to adjust the ram ratio from 1:1

Wrong E6300. Intel in their infinite wisdom has just released a Pentium Dual Core E6300 based on the Wolfdale core that runs at a stock speed of 2.8Ghz using a 1066mhz fsb. That's the one this thread is about.

* sorry, thought it was one of the older E6300s. Forgot about this

Lol, thats intel confusing everyone with the same numbers.

pastymuncher · 26 Aug 2009 at 13:48

Just got one of these to play with. At £54 it's a bargain. Yet another 45nm core that has stuck sensors though!! :mad:

Will let you know how i get on with it.

I'm chuffed with my E6300, and both sensors work, but I bought a E7500 last friday, and thats been sent back with a stuck sensor.

Just as well, it didn't clock as good as the E6300, just hope the replacement does.

Good luck with your E6300, lets see her stable at 4ghz.

pastymuncher · 26 Aug 2009 at 16:42

As is usual for me, i got a poor clocker. Voltage scaling is terrible on this thing. It does 3.5Ghz IBT stable on stock volts (1.248v according to cpu-z) yet needs 1.3v for 3.6Ghz to get stable using IBT. 4Ghz is a big no chance even with 1.475v. Basically it's only very slightly better than my E5200 due to the fact the E6300 does 3.6Ghz with 0.05v less.

It's not in the rig in my siggy by the way.

Servo · 26 Aug 2009 at 16:53

Have you tried the x10 multi? I found that better in my media player. 3.8 stable, but I don't remember what the Vcore was, I'm sure it was less than 1.36

Tried the 10x multiplier and made no difference. Boot's into windows at 4Ghz but falls over after a minute or so of IBT.

What mobo are you guys using please? Mine is a Gigabyte P35 DS3R rev 2.0 with the latest F13 bios. I was thinking of trying a different board.
