e6300 poor overclocking

Just put everything back in. I suspect I just pushed the clips in last time till they clicked, and didn't turn them to lock afterwards.

If it's still the stock cooler, then I don't think you turn them to lock them. You turn them to unlock them, no?
 
It's the Scythe Ninja. Turning them puts part of the black bit under a ridge on the white part, so it can't move upwards.
 
you sure?
I don't think its any different from the stock
infact
I've got two ninjas (in an eclipse and a mirage, DS3, DS4 repectivly) and they are the same as stock.
you just push them down and they click into place, to remove you twist them and they can be pulled up!
 
It could just be that the two parts weren't lined up properly for me. I guess when it clicks it's the black part slipping over the white ridge, locking it. I'd had them still twisted from when I removed it, so just turned them back to make sure they were locked under the ridge.

I'd remount it just incase.
 
Got the RMA stuff sorted for the RAM, which I'll post tomorow. While that's away, would it be possible to use my old PC3200 ram from my last computer, if I clock the cpu back down a bit?#

It's just so I can use my comp while the Geil is away.

Not if it's DDR, no. And even if it was DDR2, you'd have to clock the CPU back to 200/800FSB (1.4GHz). Still, it'll run really cool at that!

underclocking is the new black aparently.
 
Update:

New ram is back, got the comp running stable at 3.22 GHz, 1.35 vcore 5-5-5-12 ram timing.

It's a week 29 processor. It can go slightly higher, but not much before second core starts producing errors in prime95. But I'm happy with what I've got :)
