E6300 Overclocking

Hidden Hippo · 28 Jul 2006 at 11:54

Nice overclocks. Just a quickie on the motherboard. Is is possible to mount a northbridge cooler on it?

Just running SP2004 No to see if stable so far so good

Very Happy
That is with the DS3 on bios F3 , And with the Corsair twinX2Gb DDR2 6400

That is a quality overclock. Did you get the board to boot at that FSB, or was is achieved using a clock generator in windows?

Cheers

The board allows up to 600FSb in the BIOS

Doubt I'll get high because of the RAM, great clock, there must be more room in that yet.

Nice one mate, did you need to raise the vcore to achieve that? is it still stable?

Allendale E6300 hits 501MHz FSB w Gigabyte 965P-DQ6!!

Come on DS3 owners. 375FSB? 430FSB? Start pushing harder.
Asgard has currently got his DS4 on 474FSB

I wanna know if DS3 can scale as high as the DS4.

It should do, I'll whoop mine when I can get away from work!

jonorigin · 28 Jul 2006 at 14:26

Is there an idiot's guide to overclocking these cpus and boards anywhere? My dq6, e6300, and ninja cooler came today and i'm eager to join in the fun, but haven't done any overclocking since i had a duron 800 about 5 years ago!!

Mike · 28 Jul 2006 at 14:57

Home again, mine isn't going much further than 400FSB, 425 is a no go, must be the RAM, which to be fair is fine as the system is intended for a 6600, bought the 6300 cause I was bored in the meantime.

Shame for the CPU as it does 400 FSB (2.8ghz) on stock volts. There's lots more headroom left in the CPU yet. Will be for sale soon.

Can you not loosen up your memory timings? Thats done the trick for many people.

Mike · 28 Jul 2006 at 15:26

I need to have a good look at the BIOS, been a while since I overclocked anything

Pizzaboy2003 · 28 Jul 2006 at 16:49

Have turned it up a bit more ,went for the 480 but sound went awol so back drown to 450 and will thy more later, Out for a bit

leave you lot with this

Hey there,

How are the overclocked 6300s performing in games/3dmark?

are they getting to stock 6600 standards?

Overclocking a 6300 to 2.8GHz seems common and I have seen reports of one just nudged past 3.5GHz. Stock 6600 speed is 2.4GHz. The extra 2MB of L2 cache on a 6600 (compared with a 6300) is, IMO, very unlikely to offset a 400MHz clock speed difference, let alone a 1.1GHz one. So these o/c'd 6300s should perform better than a stock 6600.

woodsup · 29 Jul 2006 at 00:31

Thanks, from what i've been reading the 2mb cache only makes a 5-10% difference which would make this chip a damn good bargain.

Suffice to say i just ordered a whole new system

PinkFloyd · 29 Jul 2006 at 10:36

After reading this I think I will be ordering new parts soon

expect my rig up for sale soon

AnandTech have an article you might find useful. They overclocked a 6300 and a 6400, both only on stock cooling and with only minimal voltage increases (0.08V on the 6300 and 0.05V on the 6400). Neither were overclocked to anything like the extent that enthusiasts with better cooling and higher voltages are getting, but the 6300 generally placed between a stock 6600 and a stock 6700 and the 6400 generally placed between a stock 6700 and a stock X6800. Both beat a stock FX-62 by quite a bit.
