E6300 Experiences?

Margaret · 28 Nov 2006 at 16:05

I'm going to be getting a 6300 in about 2 weeks and I was wondering what OC's people are getting on Air with these?

Quite good I heard, is 3Ghz reachable on Air? :eek:

i got a 6400 and its running fine at 3.2ghz. Dont think theres much difference between the 6400 and 6300 other than the 8x multiplier.

Benchmarks in sandra say its quicker than the standard extreme 6800

With the right ram and mobo easy. I am running 2.8ghz in a tiny case on air with 667mhz ram, I get 46c orthos (100% load on both cores).

Nice!
Getting 667Mhz ram also, not sure which Motherboard just yet though!

If you're on a budget get the DS3 and spend a little more on the RAM. PC6400 is advised for the e6300 to get near 3Ghz.

e6300 - 400MHz-FSB = 2.8GHz
e6400 - 400MHz-FSB = 3.2GHz
e6600 - 400MHz-FSB = 3.6GHz

e6300 - 500MHz-FSB = 3.5GHz
e6400 - 500MHz-FSB = 4.0GHz
e6600 - 500MHz-FSB = 4.5GHz

Thanks for the help, defo getting the 6300 though Mobo and Ram is subject to change, I'll make another thread when I'm about to order just to check I've got a nice combo
