E6300 temps? Does the OC look suitable?

Hi all, not done much playing with this OC, I don't think the Silverstone LC13 Media case helps cooling.

I am wondering what sort of temps I should be expecting with an OC'd Pentium Dual Core E6300?

As mentioned case is as above, cooler is an Artic Freezer 7 Pro. Case has two small fans on the rear all conected to the Mobo and making a merry noise LOL.

I have one core seemingly hotter than the other in Core Temp, so far the highest seems to have been core 0 61*C and core 1 51*C, TJ Max is at 100*C, wondering if the cooler may need re-seating due to the temp difference?

Does this seem OK?

Here is the OC, it would not boot into Windows with a 10.5X400 and I still have to do some proper testing, but unsure if running this in this case is suitable.

if it is new HT paste it may need a few days or even a week to start performing at 100%, given its not then i would think you need to reseat the heat sink as 10 degrees between cores doesn't seem right. Has the CPU heat spreader and heat sink base been lapped? Might be an uneven surface mating causing air pocket?

It's a new build built on Sunday, not even stress tested yet, I will try re-seating the cooler.

Still though what temps should I be looking for?

Hi sastusbulbas,

I see that you have two similar threads going in the same forum:

OC'ing an E6300 in a Gigabyte EP45-DS3P? Any tips or advice?

I know you are very excited to overclock your system and your keen to learn but you don't really need multiple threads when one good one will do you fine!

It makes it harder for you to collate the info and it makes it harder for us to add suggestions/comments etc

I'll try to help out in your other thread! :cool:
