Fair 6300 Overclock?

I am almost certain that is a world record for an E6300 full stop. For an E6300 on air it must be a world record. How about you stop messing around do some serious overclocking instead? ;)

Yes I did, and guess what, I fried a P5B Dx with volt modding >.<

Good thing my P5B-E Plus is up to the job, but it will take me another heap amount of courage to attempt modding again for better stability/clocks.

I'm certain I could make the mod better though, in case I decide to go that route again :p .
 
Do you see much differance in performance in games from say 2.8 to 3.2? coz on 3Dmark 06 im not seeing hardly any...is it worth me even trying to get higher?

3DMark is a graphics benchmark. It barely touches on the CPU performance at all.

Yes, haven't tried divider.

And since BIOS only allows 2.45 Vdimm, I don't think I can run the ram much faster to use divider anyway. (bear in mind multi 7 is my only option, no buts or ifs lol)

P.S: Had a peek at the WR for 6300 at XS database and there was only 1 at 3.893Ghz

I guess 6300s are too cheap to be put under phase cooling then. :)

Chips are never to cheap to freeze ;)
The WR is 620 FSB ~ 4.34ghz or so. The XS DB doesnt seem to be updated as frequently as it should :(

You've got a really nice chip there which doesn't seem to overheat with voltage like most "B"'s do too. Deff a keeper mate, seems not to mind higher voltage too (though that's probably a side effect of running quite cool) so with better cooling you should see 4.3+ ghz assuming you've got a mobo capable of taking you there.
The 6300/P5B xxx/Crucial Anniversary seems to be a KILLER combo at the mo, simply awsome power for whats a relatively "budget" rig. Performance isn't quite up there with the 6600's but the newer batch 6300's (and especially the "B" codes) seem to happily match them clockspeed wise up to ~ 4ghz. Only trouble is you need a motherboard/ram capable of taking you to 550+ FSB to reach the same speeds :(

@GazD: I'll just pretend I didn't hear that :) , it's a 4Ghz E6300 on normal air (not even chilled air, and no, I don't OC or bench in the snow lol), so please don't ask "is it Prime or 24/7 stable?" ^^

@OC_A64: you mistook what I ment, by "6300s are too cheap to be put under phase" I actually mean "if you got the money for such high end cooling, why would you bother buying a 6300 with a ridiculously low multi to push your luck? Why not a 6600 with better overall OCability, higher multis and larger cache?"

I went that route (6300 with air) to begin with simply because my budget doesn't allow more than that, and I guess I got lucky :p .

Ah sorry mate, yea thats a valid point :)
 
Stable at 2.9Ghz now...but when i try nad just set the FSB to 430, PC automatically defautls it back to 1.8Ghz...not sure why...
