oc my e6300

Andrew0001 · 18 Dec 2006 at 13:58

Hey, i was just wondering what you lot reckon i could push the voltage on my e6300, here is what i have:

e6300 @ 2.8Ghz stable 400x7 (tested with Orthos for 13Hrs i closed it)
Asus P5W DH
2Gb Ocz platinum Rev. 2
water cooling with 3x 120mm fans

At the moment im running at 1.475 V to get it stable, but i have encountered some problems on cold boots what do you think i can do to stop this?

just on the note of the voltages my temps are ok, but i fear that im gonna have to increase the volts by quite allot beacuse my e6300 is a 28A batch so yeah.. old chip ftl

Sorry if any of this has been coverd before and thanks for any help

those volts seem very high mate it should get there on near stock volts :confused:

Andrew0001 · 18 Dec 2006 at 23:48

nope

didnt even get it to stay stable on orthos for more then a min on stock volts.... i blame the batch tbh...

I wouldn't worry about the volts, at least until there's conclusive evidence of volts hurting chips.

Volt = Higher Temps!, even worse if he's on stock cooling.

and FYI my Conroe @ 3.3 Ghz is a 28A

Oh my god how the hell did I miss him saying he had watercooling

Andrew0001 · 19 Dec 2006 at 09:49

haha, Jihad, what volts are you at if you dont mind?

R B Customs · 19 Dec 2006 at 09:54

i know your saying your temps are okay... but what are they ? idle, load and ambient.

Andrew0001 · 19 Dec 2006 at 10:00

urm about 30 idle and 40 load ambiant (if that means like running css ~50% usage) about 35-37. guess i shuda mentioned that before

ambient is the room temperature

those temps seem okay, so may be able to rule out cooling. you might just have a bad chip.

mines being delivered today so hope i dont get the same

Andrew0001 · 19 Dec 2006 at 10:22

haha ^^ amb is 22 then. yea thats what i ws thinking too

1.376

Temps are about 56 max using Orthos, up to 59 when it's hotter in the room.

Idles around 43-45c lately.

I have a 28A and the motherboard fails before the chip (P5B-Deluxe) - Anyone with a DS4 got 500FSB from boot?

WJA96 · 19 Dec 2006 at 19:37

I think there is something very, very wrong with your settings somewhere if you need 1.45V+ to be stable at 400FSB.

Have you definitely turned off C1E, speedstep and the other power saving features? If you don't then when the chip goes idle it drops the voltage and the overclocked chip hasn't got enough to keep it running so it falls over.

I'd love to know what your BIOS settings are?

Andrew0001 · 19 Dec 2006 at 20:18

speedstep and all that stuff are definitely off... i have another problem now that's really *anoying* me ... my pc wont post. i have reset the CMOS jumper a good number of times to try and get something to happen... but nothing. I left the pc running (without a boot) for a while to see if the nb was getting hotter (i don't know if that's an ok indication but i thought it would have some heat change i it was running) but even after 30 mins... there was no temp increase on the mb. I dont know but i think that there might be something seriously wrong with the motherboard and thats what could be causing my problems... anyhow im taking the Mb back tomorrow to the shop where i work to slap it in the test rig to see what happens... but at the moment i my rather frustrated with the pc and at the fact that i havent had much experience with the P5W DH (well enough to tell me wtf is worng with it...

)... yea....

thx for listening to my rant... any help much MUCH appreciated

Edit out the swearies (yes, that counts as a sweary).

Does the board beep at all? Sounds like it could be the CPU or motherboard.

Andrew0001 · 19 Dec 2006 at 20:49

i dont have a speaker attatched but the light on the board itself glows green all the time, dont know if it changes color or anything but yea....
