Is this a good E6300 overclock?

BEn_2600+ · 28 Apr 2007 at 01:51

My E6300 overclock so far!

Finnally got some new RAM and let my 6300 stretch its legs a bit

Im pretty pleased with my clock so far, only 200mhz off what good 6600s clock too and mine needs a much higher FSB. Running @ 1.29375v through CPU in BIOS and +0.1v MCH

Not fully tested for stability yet tho

Just got a rush of blood as with my old RAM, couldn't get over 2.7ghz without stupidly loose timings/high vDimm

Just like to thank gt_junkie for the RAM

Ben, PS: Tips welcome!!!

Nice clocks, what mobo and Ram are you using?is it the stuff in your sig? I can only get my E6300 to 2GHZ after that it wont post, then again I am using an Asrock 4CoreDual VSTA mobo IMO

BEn_2600+ · 28 Apr 2007 at 02:47

Yeah spec is in sig

Shame about your clocks, but its definatly your mobo, not the best clockers

When I change GFX card ukk go with DS3, which board is it, search DS3 in OcUK and you get 3 boards, little confused. Whic board have you got?

my superpi time is 1sec quicker with 200mhz slower clock?

is that due to the extra cache?

What timings are you running on your memory as my geil fails to get my 6300 over 3.1 Ghz at 4-4-4-12 @2.1v.

With my Geil, i also have problems at 4-4-4-12 at 3.15GHz (450FSB). Have it et as in sig and it is fine.

Just got some new Arctic Cooling thermal paste and dropped the temps 15 degrees so will try a bit higher.

Ive got the GA-965P-DS3 but if your buying new get the DS3P 3.3 instead its newer and got extra features etc.

If its your spec in sig it could be due to the extra cache or your memory timings as the ballistix is very good at overclocking so your probally runing tighter timings

Ive left it at auto which is 5-7-7-20 :eek:

Ive run it at 3.3ghz at 5-5-5-15 fine

Ill tighten it a bit when i know that its fully stable
