***The Official E4300 Overclocking Thread***

Those 2 just contradicted each other

Surely if the FSB is limiting it, then why would the E4300 be better?

It has a 9x multi which means high clocks at less FSB

eg, 6300 7x 500 = 3.5ghz

4300 9x 445 = 4ghz

so a modest 400 FSB mobo clock would see you 3.6ghz

most C2D mobo's will do 400 mhz FSB without breaking a sweat.

Easyrider, what motherboard and ram are you planning on running this with ?

P.S - its your fault im upgrading to conroe btw as from when i posted saying i was going to get an fx60... damn you :D (o well it will be worth it)

680i
G skill HZ

in sig.

:p
 
What vcore means


the voltage you use to get your clock orthos stable........

air
water
phase



Thats it.

lets not complicate things :)



Just would like to add.

8hrs orthos would be a nice point to go on

Good stuff, roughly what vCore?

1.55v that was with my old 6600.

The quad is a different story....

I'm hoping that these will run cooler due to not having the extra cache disbabled but just having 2mb.

Of course I have bought one for fun at this price point to overclock.
So we will just have to wait and see.

3.5ghz @ 1.55v

3.5ghz Orthos stable.Only 2 hrs but I think the block needed to be reseated.



Also wayne there is something wrong with your temps in TAT as you get lower temps when idle at higher clocks.

Don't know how you are getting 16c idle temps TBH.It could be my mobo giving wrong readings.

Testing shows that this cpu will not boot at 3.6ghz with any vcore.

3.4ghz needs 1.475v

3.5 ghz needs 1.55 v

The increase in vcore for 100mhz is not worth it.

However 3.4ghz is easy to achieve.The question is should you get a 6300 over a 4300 well I'm unsure.

The 4300 will allow you 3.4ghz with nice vcore and will not stress the mob or ram to much.

Stock Load Temps

I have installed a 6300 on my mobo last week and I have already run out of FSB.

I would say that the 4300 is a good buy but it needs good cooling.

They should give identical readings but I was under the impression that TAT only worked on Intel chipsets?

Doesn't seem to be the case.

I'm in a pickle here too,

I have a brand new unused e4300 here and a installed 6300 running at 3.4ghz.

Thats all the FSB the mobo will allow!

This 6300 is not mine its on borrow.

Do I....

Sell the brand new boxed e4300 and get a 6400 and put the difference.

Or do I stick with this 6300 @ 3.4ghz. and pass the 4300 on....

I want 3.6ghz really so was thinking I might get a 6400..

Help me decide.....

is 200mhz really worth the bother? what will the computer be used for? if you have loads of money spare then go for the 6400 or why dont you wait for the new chips that will be coming out soon, ive found out that 3ghz is the max im going to get with the amount of ram im running so do i RMA 1 stick and stick with 3ghz or do i send 2 sticks back and save £200(1 stick is faulty)

Well not really but I'm anal lol :D :eek:

when are the 4mb cache 6300/6400's coming though?

Is that supposed to be an incentive? There's really no easy way of breaking this to you, but I just don't find you attractive. Do you mind if I ask your phase cooling system out on a date though?

Its having a make over,

She was making to much noise so I sent her away for some surgery :D
