My 'old' e6300

Looking in cpu-z it is running at 1.86ghz, well it should be but this tired old motherboard (775dual-vsta) can only seem to manage an fsb of 256 so it's at ~1.795ghz. Actually here's a piccy to save explaining more:

Am I right in thinking that it wouldn't even keep up with a lowly e2200 without me overclocking it? I can't do that with my current board but if I'm going to be moving to a P43-based board quite soon, does anyone know what sort of headroom I could reasonably expect to get out of the processor? I've got a reasonably good cooler in the form of the Zaward Square if that makes any difference.
 
the e6300s are good for 3-3.4GHz at stock arn't they?
I've a scythe ninja on mine, does 3.2 on air at stock V.
 
Used to run my E6300 @ 3.3ghz daily on a pretty mediocre board, an Asus P5N-E SLi. They don't need all that much to overclock, it's pretty much a case of ramp up the FSB.

those boards max out at around ~300FSB somethings up with your setup......RAM freq/timings/volts/vcore....?

I've overclocked it on this board in the past and for me it flaked out at anything above an fsb of 292. I did run it at 286 for a while since in theory that was an even 2ghz, but none of that changes the fact that the fsb reported in the bios doesn't match up to that seen by cpu-z.
 
On 3.15ghz here with my 2 year old 6300. Still love it.

Started on the asrock DV, got it up to around 300fsb, went to a PCI-E graphics card which dropped max fsb to 290. Then moved to P5N-E. Had a lot of problems with that, RMA'd 3 different boards, eventually got an Asus P5Q. Very solid board.

Both of the Asus boards can run the E6300 at 3.15 easily. I have the feeling that the CPU has much more headroom but my geil ULL ram is holding my fsb back.
 
Hi sorry to hijack this thread but I have an e6300, with a Gigbyte GA-EP45-DS5 and 4gb Corsair XMS2 DHX and Tuniq Tower 120.

It's currently running at 7 x 319 = 2233Mhz and I am having trouble getting it past 319 FSB, it just wont boot after 319 FSB. I've tried up increase the voltage but no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas?
 
My trusty 6300 is at 3.4ghz on air (silent, tuniq tower cooler) on a P5B-Deluxe and has been for the last 2 years. Never given me any trouble, still feels very fast. Can't remeber what Vcore in the bios is set at now, but it reads 1.288V in CPU-Z. It's unusual to get <3.2GHz out of one on a half decent board iirc - they're great chips!

Good for another 2 years I reckon!

The problem is with your board. Its pointless people posting in here with their clocks on a different motherboard. We all know what these CPUs are capable of. Have you tried clearing the cmos or updating the BIOS?

I know I've got a shoddy setup right now Cairnsey that was the point of the thread. I'm thankful for everyone popping in with details of how high they've taken their e6300s since it reassures me that I can unleash my own once I move to a new board. After all, I only ever bought the 775dual-vsta because it let me progressively upgrade from the components I had, not for its blistering performance.
