e6300 overclock

Arclite · 23 Dec 2006 at 21:20

hello everyone,

Today with a lot of help (thanks WJA96) i was able to overclock my new e6300 to 2.4GHz but no more under stock HSF. I have looked around for some overclocking reviews but im not sure where im going wrong. My specs (see my sig). I think its all to do with voltage. I have read here http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core2duo-e6300_8.html

paragraph 7-8 states that problem with ocing e6300 is low voltage on the northbridge and by increasing that voltage in accordance with vcore, you can push it past 2.5Ghz. So far i have done the Ock at stock voltages.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

At present its running at 335MHz had to tone it down as it was freezing windows.

I have read around and i think i should atleast take it to 400mhz fsb, in my opinion the voltage is restricting the overclock here. But im not sure which voltage.
