e6300 Week 29A Overclock

[PhilipM]

Hi,

Recently bought an e6300 week 29a from OcUK. Sadly I can't overclock it yet as I'm waiting for an RMA on some dead DDR2 RAM.

Of course I'm itching to see what overclock I'll get. Anyone overclocked a cpu from this batch yet? What did it top out at?

Thanks,
Philip

Mine does 3.3 stable with some work. 24/7 is 3.15 @ 1.35v

Sweet. To get to 3.3 are you fiddling with the ram settings, or the cpu voltage? I.e. just wondering what tops out first!

Posted from another thread..........

Got mine a day or two ago (a 6300 29a) running at 3150mhz (450x7) at stock volts(1.32?) and cheap cooler. This is on a DS3 with geil 6400 (5-5-5-15). Load temps 50~53C.

Once i get my water cooling sorted, im gonna try for 3500.

One thing i did notice is with the DS3, it will automatically raise Vcore if you dont set it manually. It wanted to run at 1.42v @ 2.8ghz, once i'd noticed that, and set Vcore to 1.32v, the clocking got easier.

I think my boards topping out, the DS3 has some issues past 450fsb with d9 micron ram

Still a great overclock! Thanks for the info. Will be interesting to see what my very similar DS4 will do.
