core duo E3600 overclocking potential?

[BennyC]

Hi guys, new to the forum, first post!

I intend to get a E6300 and overclock it, my friend tells me i can save myself £30 buy getting the 6300 n just over clock it to the sped of the 6400, as it will do it comfortably.

Out of curiosity, what have you guys got out of yours with the stock/ air cooling? we rekon we could get about 2.8 comfortably and 3 at a push?

Thanks in advance

Benny.

Get a E6300 clock it like the clappers, it'll do 3GHz if your lucky.

mint, i expect im correct in assuming, that a aftermarket cooler would allow a little bit more oc potential, what would u recommend?

 

[harris1986]

scythe ninja or hold out for the new asus silent square or buy it through a popular well known auction site if your impatient like i am

would you recommend a cpu cooler without a fixed fan? would an exhausting fan at the back be alrite with either of those? bear in mind ill be oc'ing?

some fans come with the option off leaving the fan off, ninja does this, but if u gonna OC, it's well recomended to have the fan on it then

if u look around forum you will see that the ds3/ds4 gigabyte m/b seem to run grt with the 6300 &6400 chips, also the Geil ddr2 ram seems to b the ones to have with this board as well

I have my e6300 running at 500x7 = 3.5Ghz on air cooling.

using a lapped Scythe Ninja

...and I've found that an e6300 runs a bit cooler than an e6400 - Even when it's overclocked to the same speed

nice o.c there

Yeh i liek the corsair ram tho as ive used value select in my curent machine and its a brand i know and trust.(xms2 6400 cas 4 2gb kit) Thinking about getting a 6600 conroe now be alrite with the corsair and DS3 yar?

ok i have managed with an OEM 6300 and an Ultra 120 in mid summer a clock of 3.33 24/7 prime stable etc. I would suggest that the motherboard is your limit dude , not the cpu. good luck

My E6300 went to 3ghz without even trying. Rock solid stable.

15hours orthos stable @ 3.5Ghz.

Will be testing 3.6Ghz today. Load temp from my lapped tuniq tower is 51-53 degrees. I'm also using coollab liquid metal paste, which walks all over AS5!

Very easy rig to overclock, and much more stable to tweak than my old xp-m + bh5 rig. 3.6-3.7ghz on this baby for 24/7 should be easy peasy as long as my mobo doesn't crap out before 530 fsb, as temps arn't really an issue!

One thing though, if your looking at overclocking this high you need an ASUS P5B-D Wi-fi, strong ram, and a lapped tuniq/ninja with good thermal paste.


Screenine of 3.4Ghz, as i didn't take one of last nights 3.5Ghz successful run:

e6300 are ocing great at the moment. 2.5Ghz should be easy

What is your VCore @3.5Ghz?

Is this pretty a pretty normal overclock for a e6300 with decent cooling?

Do most e6300 chips reach this sort of overclock?

Well mine got to 2.87GHz very easily (410FSB xx7), and that was on my P5W-DH (not known to be the best clockers on E6300/6400 chips).....dunno about 3.5GHz, mind, sounds mighty good ! This is approaching 100% overclock

What is your VCore @3.5Ghz?

Actual vcore is 1.44V, with it set in BIOS @ 1.475.

I got a BSOD earlier for no reason, but will play with 3.6ghz tonight

It seems so, as long as you have an ASUS P5B-D, capable ram, and of course excellent cooling.

Ye the P5W is very disappointing for the allendale chips. i think 100% overclock @3.72ghz might be tough unless i have good NB and SB chips. Fingers crossed
