Alright guys looking for some additional tips to my overclock i've had since the e6300 first came out.

I've managed to get up to 3.3 completely stable and even managed a boot up close to 3.5 back in the summer. I've now got bored and started messing about with it again.

Problem i'm having is that in the past when i've ran orthos it just error's if its not stable, whenever i try now the whole PC freezes and need a total restart. Is it the chip thats just not gonna go any further, or is it being limited by something else.

Setup:

e6300 @ 3.3
g.skill HZ
Gigabyte DS4
and on water, temps are 33C idle and around 48C load. (orthos and tat)
currently running 1.4375 through the chip.



Any tips apart from those given in the DS4 thread??? Plus 1 question what is +100hz people talk about that effects the cpu voltage???? (always wondered just never asked)

might have a fiddle with the mobo bios settings, i've updated from an old f5 beta to the newest one.

gonna get it over 3.5 if its the last thing the poor chip does....... it'll give a reason to buy a Q6600 if it gets fried.
 
As i posted in a previous thread, the max i can get my 6300 is 3.15 possibly due to the RAM not being able to hack it.

Would have liked to have got higher, but oh well, currently sits at 40 and 36 degrees idle at stock volts with a Scythe Ninja, so pretty happy with that.
 
Can you guys post what settings you're using?

My 6300 seems to have hit a wall at 480mhz FSB. Its stable up to there on a little over stock volts, but any higher and it won't post at all. Raising the core, memory, northbridge and fsb termination voltages makes no difference, nor does loosening the memory timings.

I'm using a P5B-Deluxe and Crucial Ballistix 6400 ram. Any ideas what's causing the sudden failure to post?

Quick update on temps for my o'c (still no speed increase i'm afraid), i think my Arctic Cooling MX1 is settling in as have turned on the pc today and it is now idling at 36 and 33 respectively on each core.

Money well spent methinks.

And to answer Gatsby's query, from those details you have given, it could be that 480 is the max the cpu can handle, as from other reviews the Ballistix stuff can handle 500+
 
mx-1... :) swear by the stuff, not sayin AS5 isn't good, i have just always had ever so slightly cooler temps with mx-1 :D
 
To be honest i bought the stuff by mistake, put a search in for 'Arctic' in the Overlockers search and clicked on the Arctic Cooling stuff, lol.

In the past i have used the Arctic Silver 3 i think, which was good, but have no complaints so far.

Lovely stuff

Click to expand...

Your temps are well within the safety zone so you could try applying a little more vcore. It may also be the ram is not being fed enough juice or maybe try slackening the timings off a little.
 
cheers w3bbo gonna give it a try, not that bothered about damaging the chip, so might go up to 1.5, plus just realised only at 2.1v for the ram so got minimum extra 0.1v to give it.

:EDIT:

Just spent the afternoon/evening trying to get past 480fsb, but the thing wont budge. either won't boot into windows or whole pc freezes within minutes of othos running.
got voltage up to 1.49(although droop of 0.04) on the cpu and 2.25 on the mem with 5-5-5-15 timings. And +0.2 on FSB and GMch.

Think the cpu has hit its limit, so guess i'll have to settle for running it at 3.3(only 75% O/C), if only i'd gone for the e6400, that extra multiplyer would have been perfect. Might see if i can pick up a cheap e6600 off someone and clock the crap out of it.
any offers ;)
