Noob in distress =[ Noob help overclocking my 6300

Same specs but 1gb of ram and stock cooling and im having realy trouble getting 100mhz out of mine lol.

Well, why not try the directions stated at the top of this thread and see how you get on? The most important step is to load the CMOS defaults before you begin.
 
Still stable after 30 mins :D Thing's are looking up at last
Sorry if this sound's dumb but what has a huge amount of V's?
Btw my temps are core 0 43C and core 1 47C

Excellent. I'm just a bit shocked at the 1.45V as I've had 450FSB at 1.375V but if the temperatures are that low then there is no problem. All motherboards are different and it looks like yours needs 1.45V indicated to give you the right overclock.

I'm really pleased for you. I would leave it to prime for a good long time (24 hours if possible) and then start tweaking it up 5MHz at a time again. Eventually you will need a further tweak on the voltage and eventually it just won't be stable any more at all, but I suspect you are a little bit away from that yet. ;)

I can't thankyou enough for helping me today :D
I have 1 more question though ;)
My ram timming's are 5,5,5,18 @ 400mhz FSB ratio 1.1
Should i try and get them to 4,4,4,12 after i can confirm I'm stable at 2.8ghz before trying to overclock abit more?

No worries - it's very unlikely you'll get the best overclock with the RAM at 4-4-4-12. If you leave the RAM on AUTO until you max out the processor/RAM FSB you give the system the best chance to get the best processor overclock. Once there, you can drop back to 400FSB to try and tweak the RAM back to 4-4-4-12.

But ultimately you will want to check out the RAM timings.

It's six of one and half a dozen of the other in my opinion.

Is there a noticable improvment between Cas 4 and Cas 5?

In SuperPi - yes, very much so. In 3DMark06, no. In 'real world' applications, no.

Basically you are looking at one extra CPU clock cycle per RAM refresh, so in theory the RAM is running 25% slower. BUT - check out the fifth figure on CPUz (Bank Cycle Time) - it's probably running at about 30+ - if you can bring this back to 20, you will see a bigger improvement than by going from CAS 4 to CAS 5.

Also do bear in mind that once you have found the top overclock you will want to bring it back a bit - for safety's sake!

So i guess i should be aiming for 5,5,5,15? :)

Well, no. You should be aiming for the best performance you can get. If the best compromise you can get is 450FSB with 6-6-6-24 then that's brilliant.

It's also worth bearing in mind that as the thermal compound on the CPU 'sets' the thermal transfer gets better. That means better overclocks in 4-6 weeks time. There is also a 'burn-in' effect that some people report where the CPU will overclock more after it has been overclocked for a while. I think these things could be the same - but the bottom line is don't accept that the best overclock today is the best overclock you will ever get.

But I would say that an E6300 overclocked to 2.8GHz with RAM at 4-4-4-12-20 would give you a sub-20 second SuperPi time which would be truly excellent performance for the money you've spent.

3.15 ghz 7*450
Don't think i can get the ram timming much tighter than this
4,5,5,15
Super PI 1M = 18.266s
Ran 2 SP 2004 for hour and a half without any error's

I think i can push my 6300 some more just want to drop some of the volt's of my cpu and ram first to see what i can get away with :D

Any further advise?


Edit

I'm gonna leave 2 SP 2004 running tonight just to make sure.

Just a quick tip you can run the Orthos version of SP2004 and you only need to run just one the program and it stresses both cores at the same time:)

No, you seem to be doing fine now. That's a very good SuperPi time for an E6300. I'd be very pleased with that.

No i can still go further :D Gonna leave it day or so to see if it crash's in any game's ect

Yeah - I'd give it a week for the thermal compound to set up and then try again. That Tuniq Tower seems very effective. Any fitting issues with the DS3?
 
Not really though it almost cover's the 4 pin powerslot on the motherboard

Anyway i just tryed a little overclock and found i can't get over FSB of 465 so I've lowered it to 460 which is 3.22ghz and testing now
