Success!

Basically I've been running my E6300 at 2.8ghz with 1.4125 volts behind it. I've always been annoyed that I've not been able to use lower volts. Anyway, the last time I tried with stock/near stock volts probably didn't have any MCH/overvoltages set - and my RAM may have been at 44412 (which it doesn't like). Anyway - set my voltage to 1.35 today and got this:

Nice one, low voltages too, what are your temps ?

Next time you run Blend you should assign less memory, that red warning sign saying 'Paging' is basically telling you that your CPU has spent a lot of time sat idle waiting for your HDD to stop fannying around with virtual memory.

I would certainly re-run the Blend test using around 50% of your total memory before you get too excited, or better still you should run the FFT tests test for stressing CPU the most.

Hi Robert, I've got the same chip as you and have spent the last few days sussing it out a bit.

This particular e6300 runs fairly cool when at stock MHz but as soon as I raise the processor frequency the temps go flying up! I've just been testing how high it can go on stock vCore (1.325v) for the moment and it seems to get a little flakey just above 3000MHz so I've nudged the voltage up two clicks to 1.35vCore and it seems rock solid at 3150MHz.

You are also running the same 1.35vCore so I wondered how high you chip could go at this voltage?

 

[Robert]

Temps where about 55/56C. I'm quote happy overall.

Well just to be sure - I ran the Small FFT test to check the cpu. Result:

What boards are you running?

 

[Robert]

I'm running a Gigabyte DS3 here mate

good work

Next time you run Blend you should assign less memory,

How do you do this?
