Where am I going wrong? I cant seem to get the CPU multi over 7 using the F10 Bios revision. Does everything there look ok?

Yes, everything looks fine.

The E6300 has a max multiplier of 7, so that's all you'll get I'm afraid.

I was really looking to get the CPU up to 3ghz.....Will I have to up the voltage? I'm using a Tuniq tower on full fan (ps - its very quiet!! :) ) How can I raise the CPU speed?

EDIT - Are these aceptable temps?

If that's under load then it's fine.

Raise your fsb to 430 to get about 3Ghz. You may need to raise your vcore to 1.4v. Keep an eye on temps.

It is under load.

Ok, so.....raised Vcore to 1.45 and FSB to 420.....The system wouldn't post!!! It reset itself 3/4 times then went back to notmal.

Would my RAM timings of 3-3-3-8 be affecting this? (see above screenies)

Yes. Your temperatures are fine. Your RAM timings are very good for 400MHz, but you probably need to put it on automatic to allow you to get your CP overclock stabilized. Once you have got the CPU stable then you can tweak in the memory timings. CPU MHz are more important for speed than slack memory timings.

You're right, thanks WJA!

There is a brilliant guide here for people like me, who are new to the world of overclocking!
 
Right,

Got to 3Ghz :D I'm well impressed! The Tuniq just seems not to allow the E6300 to go above 50 degrees on full load :cool:
Currently on 5-4-4-8 mem timings on 2.00 multi = (800Hhz) 964Mhz which I'm pretty impressed with.
I think I'll leave the system at this level so long as when I get home all the tests have proved stable
 
I'm using a E6300 with a Tuniq Tower, it won't go above 40 degrees load at 2.8GHz, you should try running your E6300 at stock voltages to decrease your unnecessarily high temps because it will overclock a lot on stock volts.

Do me a favour please mate?

Run a 1MB and a 8MB Super PI

Then knock it back to 2.8

And run them again.

Let us know the results at 3.0 and 2.8 would you?

Thanks

Well I was actually thinking about undervolting it.....It may help with temps, and also a lot of people seem to think that the E6300 are overvolted on stock anyway.

Yeah, no probs. I'll do it tonight. Any particular reason?
 
quick question, in the bios when you change the voltages around, is the "System voltages NOT optimised" flag meant to keep flashing as long as any voltages are manually selected?

Just one of those things. I think they want noobs to do auto, so to not fry it :)
