E4300 vs E6300
- Thread starter paniK
- Start date
Must admit i am being more and more tempted to get one of these instead of a E6300 as i didnt know anything about half the cache being disabled etc. on the E6300s!
They seem as though they are going to be a lot easier to overclock, 3.4ghz would be nice

why is every body so hung up on overclocking
I would like to hear how these CPUs perform WITHOUT having to mess around with overclocking
even these days, if you dont knwo what you are doing overclocking is dangerous.
Does any body have any reports on the E6300 and the E4300 at stock ?

actually no, i dont think it is an overclocking forum, it is a forum belonging to a shop called overclockers
If it was an overclocking forum, why would there be all the other sections?
why be such an.... elitest, some people might want to know how a set up performs, with out having to overclock
I am not saying never overclock, What I am saying is or asking, are these cpus still worthy for people who dont want to go down the overclocking route
or are they only good chips once they have been clocked up, and if that is the case, why dont the manufacturers pre clock them
the answer is because overclocking voids warranties, because it does decrease the lifespan of the component

Overclocking is simple, its Fun! 
Another bonus is saving money. Why spend £350 on a E6700 which runs @ 2.67GHz when you can buy a E6300 @ £110 which runs @ 1.86GHz and overclock it slightly to get E6700 performance and more, plus save around £240.
I dont know anything about overclocking decrease the lifespan of the component. Pumping loads of volts into a cpu over a long period of time and not enough sufficent cooling probably would decrease the lifespan but the average overclock would'nt.
Also, overclocking isn't dangerous, it general it isn't anyway

bah, I dont want to get into an anti overclocking argument, here, I just want to know if these cpus are worth getting without overclocking, or if there are better options
BUT
go intothe overclocking forum on this website, the first sticky

Warning
Before we start, a word of warning, overclocking voids your warranty and increases the risk of premature death of you're hardware. The use of extreme voltages can lead to instant death of hardware if you are careless. Overclocking can also kill your Windows install so back-up anything important!
Overclocking DOES reduce the lifespan of you components, that is fact, how much it reduces the lifespan depends on many factors.
If you are happy to overclock and know what you are doing, then cool, go for it, let us know what kind of performances you get.
BUT
I am more interested in stock performances
Has anybody here used these chips (well the E6300 ) at stock and got a practicle opinion?

the 6300 will work a tad faster when they're both at stock, because of the extra FSB if you're using 1:1
the same for my current XP chip (yeah, its mega old)
200 x 11 Vs. 220 x 10
the 220 x 10 will be better as the FSB on the ram is higher in 1:1
if you're running async then i'm not sure of the differences.
nope, this is CPU forum, Overclocking is 1 down

Yea, dont want to get into any arguments either.
Google around for some stock to stock comparisons. The articles Ive seen have the E4300 overclocked.
Overclocking voiding the warranty, I doubt that they would really know unless the cpu has fried, whether its been overclocked by 100MHz or 1000MHz.
Anyway, its down to preference, some people like to overclocking and some dont. Its no big deal if you do or you dont.

Don't forget to put some thought into a decent CPU heatsink/fan, especially if you are going to overclock.paniK said:
thanks to everyone on this forum!!
will wait then to see whats what and then post a final spec something along the lines of Core2Duo, DS3, 7700GT, OCZ or Ultra Geil 1GB RAM, Akasa fan controller, thermaltake case (decided to go OcUK for everything), Sony DVDRW, Logitech Optical Keyboard/Mouse, 420W PSU, OCUK Widescreen 17" LCD.
