My 6300 so far.

Margaret · 6 Dec 2006 at 21:14

Got it today and so far ;

Corsair Value Select PC5300 DDR2

Did half hour of Orthos without errors, before I got bored

Gonna try to push a bit higher but 3 Ghz is more than what I expected of this ram :eek:

Margaret · 6 Dec 2006 at 21:42

3DMark05 done now and no crashes so far :eek:

Gonna try for 3.2!

hyper_piper45 · 6 Dec 2006 at 21:45

looking good. Mine is clocked exactly the same. But i think i am going to push for 3.3/3.4 sometime in the near future.

Margaret · 6 Dec 2006 at 21:48

3.2 cocked out with Blue Screens etc!

3.1 seems alright, I don't really wanna increase voltage I'm on stock cooling y'see.

The corsair VS stuff is good Ram for the price.

I have the DDR2-533 stuff (4200?) and its hits 800mhz no problems at 2.1v.

Will depend on how much voltage you want to risk putting through it i suppose.

Aye I read 5300 stuff gets to about 2.4Ghz on 6300's Max so I was worried but wow, 3.1 Ghz @ stock voltage is rather amazing even with the ram @ 1:1

My ram is currently @ 900 Mhz (according to the BIOs)

Lol I don't blame you, your meant to do it when you not sitting at the PC (overnight etc)

Normally a 8MB Super-PI run is a good 'quick' test as you are climbing, then when you are getting near to your max a good blast of Orthos/Dual-Prime for 6-24 hours for the stability screenshots and your own peace of mind before the xmas gaming commences! (I like to see stability shots myself)

P.S: I wouldn't have even bothered replying to this but I saw your spec and thought it was refreshing to see someone using 'value' parts and overclocking, as opposed to £200 mobo + £200 cpu + £300 memory etc . . .

have fun!

Thanks

Did a 8MB Super Pi @ 3.1 Ghz, passed it in about 3 minutes

These 6300's are great aren't they

Never had so much fun with stock air cooling! What stepping is your chip btw?

Mines running 3.15ghz, stock cooled and under stock volts (1.26 atm, mobo won't go any lower) on Abit AB9 non pro and Crucial Anniversary. Value overclocking (well bar ram) is certainly made easy with these Core2's!

Shame the mobo's maxed here though

Need to dump it in the P5B and see how far it'll run with some more headroom

Margaret · 6 Dec 2006 at 22:09

Not sure on the stepping didn't bother to take a picture

Gonna try getting the ram timings a bit lower now and the voltage below stock

Big.Wayne · 6 Dec 2006 at 22:12

Micron D9GMH (B6-3)

Crucial Anniversary

Those memory results looks 'real' nice! :eek:

Postman brought a set for me today but I was out!

[edit] post your Crucial 10th Anniversary memory results here

Margaret · 6 Dec 2006 at 22:13

OC_A64 what temps you getting on stock cooling by the by?

OC_A64 · 6 Dec 2006 at 22:16

Steppings on the box mate

FPO/Batch#

Temps you can see in pic, coretemps in top left

Big.Wayne, maybe its worth making a seperate thread for results?

Margaret · 6 Dec 2006 at 22:25

Coretemp doesn't seem to work on my PC, I mean it says like 59 celcius idle, where as the BIOs is around 40, Easytune (Gigabyte program) reports 40/39 and Speedfan does also, Intel TAT reports the same as Coretemp, bit confused!

FPO/Batch: #L628A069

Seems a touch high idle wise, what voltages are you running?
Ah, another week 28

These things ROCK

This 63's a 28B, and 2 28A's have seen the far side of 4.7ghz under DICE

nice finally I got a good CPU!

I'm at about 1.250 volts, I think Coretemp / Intel TAT isn't reporting it correct though.

Could be, though coretemp is *meant* to be more accurate than onboard sensors.

Hmm well down to about 53/54 idle at the mo could reduce the voltage a tad more maybe, not too sure what temp to believe but I'll have a look!

Hope the temp is really around 40, if it is the true temp then I'd like to up the voltage and try get to 3.4 +

What cooler you using?
