Hi im Ross Llewellyn ( Ross1308 ) im looking for some help on overclocking my CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 i have an after market fan Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 Obviously i was wondering if anybody could give me some help on Overclcocking my Processor any help will be appreciated since i dont have a clue how to do it accept for Entering the BIOS and i know you have to change the CPU Voltage Clock Speed and Other stuff im just not sure what order to do it in and how so please could you help me

Thank You Ross1308

dont think anyone can mate, ive asked the same question yesterday.
77 views and the only reply was my own

have a look at the C2D threads on

Gives an idea.
Ive only had my E6300 instaled since last night and an hour reading the CPU/ MOBO and OCing threads was well worth it.Read anything by easyrider, Big.Wayne, w3bbo and minsterdave.
Busy at the mo but i'l try and post a few pointers tomorrow.
By the way, what Mobo are you running, makes a big difference.

Beginers Guide to Overclocking

Both of you read through that.
Then ask if you have trouble.

Safes us writing the same thing over and over for every single person new to overclocking.

Good Luck :)

does this guide apply to vista too ?
ive already upped the voltage to the ram to 2.1 , the board set it at 1.8 but the ram specs on the box say 2.1..is this ok ? ( i ran othos for an hour or so with no errors)

thanks

Its best to work out the limits for each main part, Mobo/Cpu/Mem in turn.
I know the limit of my mobo so im currently pushing the Cpu to see what the max speed i can get. Once thats done i'l push my mem up until i hit a wall at the volts im happy with.
just remember that high FSB's mean hot chipsets,

ahh , i see.. start with the fsb with memory at 1.8 , although im not really after the max, just something moderate.
by the cpu i take it you mean overvolting that, and then up the ram voltage slowly a bit at a time untill it wont boot.

or am i getting this all wrong?
 
I'll be in the same boat in a few weeks, complete rookie @ overclocking. I would have started by google searching "Beginners guide to overclocking CPU" and reading the stickys :)

All wrong, im not familiar with your mobo but il put it genericly.
Say my mobo is capaple of an FSB of 500 at stock northbridle Volts, i'l leave my mem at 400 with stock timings and volts and keep upping the fsb until i lose stability (testing using Orthos).
I then up the Cpu volts and up the FSB until i lose stability again.
Keep doing this until either heat becomes an issue or volts make no difference to stability (and upping the chipset Volts).
You have found the limit of your CPU.
Now push up the speed of your mem as above.
There are also some setting in your bios that will have an effect but as im not familier wiht your mobo.
please bear in mind that ive only had an intel chip for 24 hours so my logic is based on AMD OCing.
Down load Orthos and Coretemp and crack on.

thanks for that , ive already got orthos, getting coretemp now...i wont crack on though till ive fully read the sticky.

cheers for the tips
