E5300 overclocking?

Well that motherboard will certainly do 1066FSB (as should any S775 board ) so just upping the FSB to that will give you 3.4Ghz.

You may be lucky and have it do it on stock volts.
 
On my E5300 I have to give it around 1.375v Vcore to hit around 3.5GHz (266 FSB). This was with the stock cooler but I'm not using an aftermarket cooler because the stock cooler is too noisy.

I seem to be lucky, got 4ghz out of mine with only 1.29v in the bios

You've got a nice chip there, I find IBT really makes mine fall over below 1.3vcore at 266FSB... I'm running a 4 year old motherboard which hit an FSB wall around 280Mhz FSB... So the high multi of the E5XXX range is awesome for people without running crazy high FSB's....
 
Depending on the batch, you should see 3.5-3.75Ghz relativly easily. I own a E5200 which is the same chip with a lower multi.

Here is the current OC:

Also did 3.75Ghz @ 1.16v

Been running at the 4Ghz settings for the past few months :) Temps have come down a LONG way as the AS5 settled in. Currently it loads at 74C.
 
ok, what sort of temps are acceptable and what sort of overclock would i get to with the stock cooler (would i get to 3.0GHz?). It'll be my first overclock and i don't want to break anything :D
 
Temps wise you want to be trying to stick to 70c core temps, higher is ok, but lower the better really.

On stock cooling, you should comfortably manage 3ghz, the cooler you linked to earlier will be much better though, i used to run my old E5200 @ 4ghz on the older Freezer 7.
 
yeh use the stock cooler, for getting used to how to overclock, so not high at all, but getting used to the bios and so on. The stock cooler should be fine even upto 3.5 just the noise and temps won't be brilliant.

The new cooler will allow you to have it running higher and cooler. So practice abit before ur new one comes for sure.
 
Oh god, I upped the Thingy by 5 things so it said 2.66 GHz then save and exited. My computer then just turned off. After about 5 seconds it turned back on then about 5 seconds after that it turned back of again and kept on doing that. It didn't display anything on the monitor :( what should I do? Have I Brocken my computer? (ps I typed this on my iPod :) )
 
That will be the motherboard testing it, let it do that until it either boots up fine, or it will say overclock failed. At that point u may need to up the vcore, but only going up by 5, won't require any more voltage yet.

Put memory stuff to auto, by that i mean the timings, and the ratio to fsb, basically left on auto the motherboard will handle memory related things for now.

I should have warned u to be ready for that, my apologizes, its only the motherboard testing the new settings, but can be scarey if u have never seen it before, so do as i suggested above, let it run through the testing, it will either boot up fine after abit, or it will boot up and say overclock failed, enter bios to change settings or what not.
 
Ok, when I stared it back up I went into the bios because it went back to the normal clock and gave me this "The system has experienced boot failures because of overclocking or changes of voltage. Last settings in this page may not coinciden with current H/W states." It comes up with this every time I try and overclock it ( I have tried 3 times) does this mean I can't overclock it?

I just noticed it makes the memory frequency go from 800 to 820 . Should I put it back to 800 or leave it?

If you can, so that others know aswell, can u list the full spec of the computer, especially memory make/speed by that i mean default stuff.

If you have an option to change the memory multiplyer to 1:1 do that for now, so the memory doesn't get overclocked. Of if that option is'nt there, and it gives u a figure like 800 instead, try and keep that under, or on 800 every time u change the fsb.

is that enough detail?
 
Is the memory 800mhz stuff or 1066mhz, it will say on the side of the sticks, no worries if u don't know, we can just stick to keeping it under or around 800mhz via the memory multiplier.

Ok lets try this, not the best but its a start.

Vcore to auto, everything memory related to Auto, expect memory multi (put to 1:1 or if its the mhz showing lower or on 800mhz).

And try raising the fsb by 5 each time, i say its not the best way as auto will give slightly more then needed, but it should allow u to get overclocking for now.

If this above dos'nt work, someone that knows your mobo better may have to advise.
