How Much Can A E6300 Be Overclocked?

Ambro said:
Thank you very much for the advice. I had a look at the other case and I prefer the look of the PC-G50 now, and it looks almost identical inside to the PC-V600. I didn't like the look of the other cases as much so I think I will definitly get the PC-G50 now and use one of the two coolers that you reccomended. As long as I can overclock it to 400mhz then I think i'll be happy, and even better if it is able to run silently at that speed. :)

The V600 and PC-G50 are identical inside - the PC-A05 has the PSU mounted at the front and the airflow is reversed so cold air blows in at the back and out the front.

I don't just make this stuff up you know! :D
 
The Silverstone one definitely fits (I've used it), and I may have mixed up my SI and XP, it's very unlikely that Thermalright would have got their dimensions wrong so if you go Thermalright, go with the XP.

I would definitely look again at the PC-A05 though as it's a much better cooling case. The PC-7 is also very, very good and you'll have no issues with fitting anything in a PC-7.
 
There's a huge performance advantage in clocking the E6300 to 3Ghz. In my experience it isn't actually that fast at stock, especially compared to the AMDs. 1.86Ghz just isn't enough. At 3Ghz it flies.
 
It's diffrent for every chip because they all are diffrent some are good ones some are bad. But if you have a decent one they usaly get 3ghz upto about 3.6ghz.. and on your cooling ect..

Happy clocking!

Thats what I found. My 4400x2 @ stock 2.2ghz seems faster than my e6300 at stock...unless you compare superpi scores but i'm talking real world differences.

But once the e6300 was clocked to 3ghz it really shined over the 4400x2 at 3ghz

The multi on the E6300 cannot be changed, its locked at 7

Should easy get 3Ghz out of it. See my sig for my clock

Whats the rest of your specs, including RAM and Mobo :)

on my bois it says unlocked and i can have 6 or 7 multi?
 
It will make a big difference. Noticed the FPS difference in games, and the loading speed etc instantly between 1.86 and 3.1.

Stick with the 7 multi, and if you're on stock cooling don't up the vcore too much (or at all). See how far you can go on stock voltage for the time being!

If you get a good batch you'll be hitting 3.1 with well under 1.3v

Yes, you are correct, it will go down, but it is locked in the upward direction. I think this was in response to the OP asking about increasing the multiplier, which is possible on some AMD processors I believe, but not on Intel's unless it's an Extreme processor.
