fist off , thanks to everyone for all the advise .
...and big thanks for the overclocking guide sticky !!

heres my overclock.

http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/1148/oclockpm4.jpg

its just done an hour thru running orthos and still running at 58 degrees loaded...hoping to clear the 8 hour barrier.

specs are :
E6300
arctic cooler (forgot the full name, the cheap one !)
gigabyte ds3
geil pc6400 ull 800mhz.
antec 900 (all fans on medium)
antec spot cooler pointing at northbridge.

...just a couple of things, how safe is it to run at this speed now the weather is getting warmer?
are my temps at the moment ok?

cheers

UPDATE:

orthos errored after 2 hours .

what should i do ?

Try 1.5v that just might be enough.

Take note: watch your temps

..just been checking around the forums and it seems 1.5v is very exessive.

...im sure your experience is well founded but im a little nervous to push it that much without double checking with you first.
..seems a lot of peeps can get to 3ghz without going above 1.4v

..could there be something else im missing somewhere ?

Its temps that matter over vcore

what are your temps full load?

at the moment on 1.45v @ 2.8
44 idle
50 load (using orthos)

also memory running at 860

cheers for the help

UPDATE:

well easyrider, it seems you was right about giving it 1.5v
temp is about 4 or 5 cooler than normal as its the middle of the night

wadda you think?

Nice mate,

With 1.5vcore and those temps,which are fine I might add,I would go for a higher clock.

See how far you can get with 1.5v you might find 3.4ghz will be easy to achieve.

Heres my 6400 running happily @ 3.8ghz

Thanks

The ram is running 1:1 with the FSB so 950 MHZ

Looks good, nice and neat etc.

I notice Orthos is saying rounds [2/2], what memory size are you running? because it takes me roughly 12 hours to get [1/1]?

Hi easyrider.

Thanks for the help,
just to keep you updated, its running in the daytime at 54 degrees idle.
id imagine that would rise to about 65 loaded using orthos.
(although its been hot here today !)
so i dont really want to push it too much with summer coming up.
also, ive not got a fan on the northbridge, just an antec spot cooler directed at it on full whack..ill have to get my fingers in there and see if its too hot to handle.

congrats on your clock, gotta admit im pretty jealous !

...i may try to get it up to 3.2 ghz but as i say im pretty worried about the temps, i dont wanna fry anything, so i may have another late night and try it when its cooler
