E6300 Core Duo and Gigabyte D3 Overclocking

[Bennah]

Just about to get one of these combo's tomorrow as part of a build for a friend.

Will have to see what I can get out of it.

Is the C1E thing in bios? Is it some kind of throttling of some sorts?

We dont need that

Yes, its in the BIOS. I have mine disabled too. Best of luck with your friends overclock. Mine hasn't blue screened all day since I forced the memory timings as Manual and not Auto, even though they were detected properly in the BIOS and grayed out, CPU-z wasn't seeing them so I assume they weren't working properly.

Thanks matey.

The stuff is at my sisters waiting for me. Need to collect it. Its getting picked up on saturday by my friend so hopefully I wont kill anything before then

Should have some fun getting the most from the E6300 and 7900 GT. Cooling isnt the best as he wanted quietness but we will see how it goes...

have you up the voltage on the ram/cpu as the way i see it you are running your ram over (spec400Mhz) you runing 430mhz.

also maybe up the voltage a bit

maybe thy this settings:

Cpu host clock control= Enabled
Cpu host Frequency(mhz) = 458 ~~~~ Set this at 430 to give you 3GHZ~~~~
PCI Express =100
C.I.A.2 =Disabled
System memory multiplier= 2.0
Vdimm voltage +0.3 To give you 2.1Volts
pci-e voltage +0.1
FSB Voltage +0.1
(G)MCH Voltage +0.1

This should get you stable with no BSOD
Rest at stock.

Tried these settings but the cpu fsb to 380 for starters. Restarts and resets itself to default.
Spec is E6300 / DS3 (stock bios) / 2x 1GB 5400 Gskill

Hhhm, for the last few weeks my system has seemed completely stable at 3Ghz using the above settings. Forcing the RAM settings to 4-4-4-12 seemed to do the trick. I might re-enable the throttle feature if it will help improve the lifespan of the chip.
