Average E6300 voltage?

BEn_2600+ · 25 Apr 2007 at 16:04

Just wondering what the average voltage a 6300 needs for 3.2GHz? Got mine at 3.2 at the mo and im just wondering what volts other people are putting through their chips?

Thanks, Ben

Wow! You must have a great chip what Week is it? Im at 3.3 with 1.28 going through it

IIRC Stock volts can range from 1.2 to 1.325, mine detects it at 1.2375 for stock, dunno if its different for every chip tho

Is that not below stock volts aswell?

I havent started to clock till i sort all my cables and grapics card out.. With a fan control.. I would be really happy if i can get 3.2ghz on stock volts or as close to stock

What ram have you got? Ive had value RAM up until today and i was stuck @ 2.66 just bought some Geil 6400 off gt_junkie and now im at 3.3 havent tried for more yet, could post at 3.5 but couldn't get into Windows

Also, does anyone know the best overclocking stepping of 6300's?

Thanks, Ben

Where do you read those volts.. From bios is correct?

yeah from BIOS is the best bet CPU-Z is very inaccurate

BEn_2600+ · 25 Apr 2007 at 16:44

What you using to read temps, they seem quite low.

BEn_2600+ · 25 Apr 2007 at 16:53

Tbh, I'd go with TAT and Core temp being correct especially with them agreeing on temps. But on my system Speedfan TAT and Coretemp all agree give or take 2-3oC.

EDIT: Just noticed youv'e got a L2 chip, from what ive heard these run 10-15oC hotter than the B2 chips, and you've got 1.325v (Your default) Where as mine is 1.2375. So your temps are quite good seeing as you've got a hotter chip

You got any Pics?

Edit: Ive got a Thermalright Ultra 120 ill get pics 2 secs.

EDIT2:

BEn_2600+ · 25 Apr 2007 at 17:57

Its a Zalman flower type cooler but you wont need one on the DS4 with the heatpipe cooling, im at 3.3 at the mo and Core temp says 32oC at idle

EDIT: The Heatsink is a Thermalright Ultra 120

BEn_2600+ · 25 Apr 2007 at 18:32

Im back down to 3.2GHz 3.3 wasn't fully stable (Think NB is overheating) My temps are 31oC idle and 44oC load havent tested for 100% stability yet tho but ill run orthos for 12hrs tonight and find out

BEn_2600+ · 25 Apr 2007 at 19:56

Gonna try for 3.3 again in a min

Ill let you know if i can get it stable

EDIT: Changed my mind ill have a go tommorow, going to have a go on BF2142, if that dosen crash it nothing will :rolleyes:

EA for you.

BEn_2600+ · 26 Apr 2007 at 17:44

Think ive got it stable at 3.3ghz Memtest passed 3 times fine and im currently 30mins into orthos with no errors

i'm now at 2.000 set in Bios

i'm using OCZ Sli ram with a gigabyte DS3P mobo rev 3.3
i'll get a screenshot in a min

Honestly! Really DO NOT reccomend that your chip will fry in no time! :eek:

Get it down to 1.45 or upto 1.5 MAX!

BEn_2600+ · 26 Apr 2007 at 19:56

Cpu-z always reports wrong voltage tbh what did you set in BIOS?

BEn_2600+ · 26 Apr 2007 at 19:59

yeah 1.2 is fine below stock voltage

you must have a great chip! Do you know what Week Chip you have?
