OVerclocking a E6300

LukeTW · 7 Apr 2009 at 17:30

Hi all, tried overclocking my E6300 a few days ago and it wouldn't stay with the options i set it at. I tried it numerous of times but it just wasn't working :confused:

Any tips / ideas on how to overclock it?

Thanks

when u say it wouldnt stay with the options, do you mean the bios isn't saving the settings ?

Yeah, even though i save them :confused:

Are you sensibly increasing settings i.e. little bit at a time or going for a large overclock in one big hit?

I went to about 2.4Ghz from 1.8 D:

What mother board you got?
You can get a 6300 to 2.8-3.2 easy with a good cooler that is

Gigabyte P31-DS3L with Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro

edit: just lowerd the speed to 2.06ghz and it has saved, ill slowly creep it up a little

Then make sure your ram is 1:1 in the bios take your Auto volts off the
ram and cpu(set both to what they should be)
then take the FSB up a little at a time check to see its stable in windows
then go up a bit more. Keep a eye on the temps.

mine is at [email protected] Volts

LukeTW · 8 Apr 2009 at 10:37

What temps do you get at that? ^

Just put it to 2.16 and stressing it, CPU is at 42 (Core1 50, Core2 51)

Also, thanks for your help guys!

Did you take the cpu off auto volts? and set it to what it should be?
that would cause it to be that high..

mine is at this moment 25-27 thats with a tru cooler.

LukeTW · 8 Apr 2009 at 10:52

Yeah i took it off auto volts, its at 1.3v at 2.275ghz.

Also, how do i go about setting the ram to 1:1?

deuse · 8 Apr 2009 at 10:56

Have you tried pressing F1 on the main bios screen to see if you get the extra options?
most GA mobos do it.

LukeTW · 8 Apr 2009 at 11:13

Nope, F1 doesn't give me the extra options.

deuse · 8 Apr 2009 at 11:22

I dont have your mobo but in the bios you should see a option for ram
for it also what ram you got and what is it running at now?
use cpu-z for this

Interesting, I have an original Gigabyte 965P-DS3 with Arctic Freezer 7 Pro and my CPU temps are similar to deuse.

Iirc in the BIOS on my board you have enter CNTRL F8/F1 or something to get access to the full FSB and volts settings, is that the same on yours?
