I have had a go at ocing my e6300 today and currently have it at 2728mhz.

Running orthos for only about 4mins now but temps are at 60C according to Coretemp. I left vcore on auto and set my fsb to 390, these temps seem quite high already and im not sure if it is safe to go further?

What steps should I take next, and can I get the temps lower in any way?

Take it off Auto.

The current 1.488v under load in Windows is probably the equivalent of 1.525v in BIOS. And that's far far too high for that speed. Manually set the vcore to 1.425v in BIOS and work up from there.
 
It's because that's all it would probably need for that overclock and should reduce those temps by quite a bit.

For example my old B3 q6600 ran @ 3ghz on 1.36v.

It's 0.1v above your VID, and should be plenty to run the CPU at 2.7ghz (tho ofcourse every chip is different).

You will still have plenty of vcore to play with once you start clocking higher.
 
I would go for atleast 3ghz.

Tho your memory will now start to come into play.
 
Yep im not sure what to do at this stage in regards to memory. The guide in the sticky doesnt go in depth into memory
Can anyone link me to a more in-depth guide?

If your memory is PC26400 then you need to aim to get it running at 800MHz, anything above that and you're overclocking the RAM so once it's stable start increasing the clocks on the RAM.
 
to get to 3ghz you would have to run 429*7 - 7 being your maximum multiplier. The lowest you can run memory is 1:1 meaning that your memory runs at the same speed as you FSB (mhz = fsb). So at that speed, your RAM would be running at 429 mhz (400mhz default). It SHOULD be ok at this speed but anything above this and the chances are your memory will max out before your CPU does. When you are at this point. memory voltage (vdimm) will be where you want to concentrate.
 
My E6300 runs happily at 3.08ghz with a vcore of 1.28v(real). No need for 1.488v at those speeds.

edit: 1.336v probably isnt needed, you may as well save the electricity. A lot of e6300s ive seen hit 3.5ghz with 1.45v real assuming that your RAM can be clocked to 500mhz and your motherboard is capable (the p5b can do that).

Dont know of the Mobo but you can run your mem at a lower speed than the fsb with no noticeable hit to performance.
Im currently running my E6300 at an fsb of 480 and my mem at 448. This requires a small bump on the mem volts but a major leap on the cpu (1.6v).

I had my E6300 running at 3.15Ghz on 1.325v (7x450)

It clocked the same in my mates system to so now proven on 3 sets of ram, G.Skill, Crucial and Geil.

Try to slacken the timmings if you start running into trouble.
