e6300 oc

I cbb to be a pioneer, so I'm asking, what sort of clocks are people doing? i.e. just the basic, vcore and fsb in bios settings. Cheers, also is making it a x6 multi pointless?

if you have DDR800 memory, then from my personal experience you're looking at a maximum of 3.15ghz. (1.275v / x2.0 memory divider / 7 x 450)

No idea what you can achive with faster memory though.

I've got pc6400 ddr2 800mhz 3 gigz of it. What is a safe vcore to get to 3gigz?

I had my E6300 running at 3.3ghz on an Asus P5N-E SLi. Can't remember the vCore exactly, but I don't think it was higher than 1.35v. It was an early model though and I think they clocked better.

@ FrostedNipple, the 65nm Core 2s will take 1.5vCore every day without harm. Above that it gets slowly more dangerous.

Ahh, ok thanks, that all i needed to know really, ill try get 3gigz now

I'm up at 3gigz and 62C idle, which imo is good, i cant see my ram going much further though i reckon 3.2 would be nice, I'm getting 20secs on super pi 1M on my old CPU at 3gigz i got 40secs, so this is well good compared with what I'm used to 458fsb should get me 3.2GHz, but also 900 ram, will be nice if the ram excepts it, ill whack a bit more voltage through the ram to make sure

ooops i meant load

I'm at 3.2GHz now and 50C idle and 62C load. Will try for 3.6 when i get home from work, will need to slacken my ram timings though

 

[FrostedNipple]

I've gone to 2.8GHz due to my ram being stubborn Oh well, that was definitely £30 well spent, its got to be at least double the speed of my old cpu

 

[FrostedNipple]

its to do with ram as well, i'm leaving mine at 3 gigz, seems to suit the whole system well
