E6300 YOUR VIEWS

[funksteruk2]

well i got one on teusday to replace my PD935 and can see quite abit of difference

got it from here from £79

ive clocked it at 2.8 so far temps are reading mad when i game 80+ earlier but when i turn the pc off and go into the bios its at 38? idles (i know this means nothing) at 30-33 degrees

when using nuclearus it hits 55 max

 

[V|per]

use TAT or prime/orthos to find max temp..

use TAT or prime/orthos to find max temp..

TAT, orthos won't load it to max heat.

TAT wont work on my mobo iam using speedfan and core temp atm

Download ORTHOS and give the CPU the Small FFT's test. Games won't push your CPU more than this.

Good value chip.

Those temps are a little high.. stock cooler?

Whats your temps with orthos running?

 

[Solus]

Could be the case that your case is not extracting your graphics card heat (probably the hottest part of your unit). Causing your cpu to sky high in games.

 

[funksteruk2]

temps were high because of a dodgy download of speedfan, just ran orthos for an hour temps didnt go past 50 then ran nuclearus and then 3dmark05 and 06 and temps were averaging about 48 degrees the graphics card is fitted with a zalman cooler and never goes over 45 degrees and the case is a silverstone TJ06 the cpu has a arctic pro 7 cooler on

Good Deal!

The E6300 is a good chip, if it was tough choice for me to choose between this and a E6400 but at the time (Dec 2006) there was a big price difference and I just went with the cheapest CD2 I could buy (new!),

E6300 £111
E6400 £150
E6600 £200
E6700 ££££

There is only one thing that holds this chip back and thats the x7 multi, you will need a very good motherboard and a bit of tweakage to hit 475-500MHz-FSB +

The chip I have is pretty ancient (L625A796 MALAY) and does overclock well, 2800MHz is fine using 1.325vCore and 3150MHz is good too at 1.350vCore.

I've had mine up to 3400MHz (486MHz-FSB x 7 Multi) but thats about the area I believe my mobo gets a bit flakey. Will have to re-test it again because at the point I got to 3.4GHz I bought a new chip (E4300) to play with lol, like magpies are us overclockers

Very good cpu...used to run @ 494FSB pc was like lightening...but it would not do 500FSB stable .....still sad to see it go.

 

[stinka]

i love mine its great

i have run it stable on air for 8hrs othos at 3208 mhz but ram wouldnt let me go any higher

but now shes under water heres one of temps this is 24/7 settings atm :

very nice chip. i have one running at stock volts on my gigabyte DS4. bought it for about 79 quid too as i got without vat at the time . its sitting at 2.8ghz (400x7), idles at 32 degrees and 34 degrees on the hotter core, and sits at 68ish under load i think. I'm in Canada atm so i havent used the pc in 2 months, but its got a freezer 7 pro, which i reccommend .

i'm using pc6400C4 geil 2gb ram and have had the cpu up to 3.15ghz on stock ram timings with a .1v increase, but i dunno what i should do to raise it summore. I'm thinking i need quicker ram maybe?
