Don't think thats going to help, its an overclocking issue :confused:

So with a low cpu multiplier and low memory speed the board doesnt like 400fsb? If u were using the Asus P5n-e sli I would suggest giving the north bridge more voltage.

I dont know what u mean by mch voltage, I assume its the board voltage. Id say it looks like the board if causing instability at 400fsb if u have a low cpu multiplier and the memory is clocked below normal speeds.

what are the temps and what cooling are you using?

e4300 @ 3.6GHz (1.5-1.6vCore) - Core [0] Only Load TAT


I'm starting again because I took **** all notes and I'm still quite new to this set-up. Not sure if I'm gonna be able to get this dual-prime stable, kinda got the feeling that Core [1] is holding the chip back.

I have never seen a temp gauge fly up so quickly, goes from 30°C to 70°C in about 1/2 a second!

Also the temp monitoring software isn't working properly with the e4300 (MBM, Core Temp Beta 0.94) but TAT still seems ok (they all worked fine with the e6300 and all gave the same result). Based on my recent experience with a e6300 it may be that this new chip runs a bit hotter?, can't be sure though because I used some Arctic Silver 5 (thin spread) for the first time, also the fact that the monitoring software isn't working properly makes me wonder if these chips have different sensors to the regular 6xxx series?

I'm on the case, will be posting stuff up as and when it happens, I'm not the faster overclocker on the block lol :D
 
your temps are hot for 3.6ghz is that only 1 core on load you say? if so theres far too much volts being used for your cooling, i would reccomend you getting a better cooler, what was the highest clock you got on stock volts?

i reckon im gonna do 7x multiplier and 500fsb that will be the best clock and memory ratio for my setup, those asus boards have been tested and are stable at 500fsb unless i can get 9 and 400 to work with decent volts

still nothing from easyrider? whats up big fella? both cpu's still on their way? or you testing them on air, water then phase and gonna do a mega post?

What motherboards would marry this cpu well? Also what RAM?

Thinking of getting a p5b deluxe and some giel 2gb stuff, thought the asus hit higher than the gigabytes (which many of you seem to be using or going to use) in terms of fsb?
Or do the 680i/rd600's hit higher still, welcoming higher speeds from the 4300?

well because of volts this cpu is limited to 3.4 - 3.6 GHZ so your looking at a 9x multi with a max of 400fsb so any board will do no need to get an expensive board even with PC5300 667MHz your looking to hit a minimum of 3GHZ, the whole point of the high multi is you dont need to hit a high fsb, so get any board thats compatible, cheapest would be the best

what would be the best for a "future proof" mobo then? Maybe i should take this to GH.
Click to expand...
there is no such thing as a future proof mobo? you can never tell either because of bios revisions, but i would take a guess at the 680i because they are brand new out and top of the range but also very expensive, but if you are going to be using the same socket then every mobo is future proof

These results will only be of interest to anyone with a LGA775 board that tops out at the 300MHz-FSB mark. The e4300 chip running at 2.7GHz is officially faster than a full blown 'stock' e6600 . . . Next stop 3000MHz, stand clear doors closing! :D
 
Oi is anyone awake? :)

I wanna find out if I can run 'just' orthos Blend instead of running Small FFT and Large FFT tests? :o

i.e: Will Blend stress it as much as both the other separate tests?

Thanking you . . .

3GHz at Stock vCore thats not bad, machine is nippy as anything! However from here on in gets a bit more tricky . . . Next stop hopefully 3.3GHz, but its gonna need more volts!

Note: vCore that I have been quoting is what I am setting in BIOS.
 
3303MHz (9x367)

1.325vCore - Machine wouldn't POST. ASUS feature saves the day, power off, flick power switch at the back to off, wait a second to the mobo light goes off . . . flick power switch back on, power up machine and straight into BIOS, like it! :cool:

1.35vCore - Computer POSTs but wont load Windows XP.

1.375vCore - Loads Windows but fails Orthos Small FFTs in 5 mins!

1.40vCore - Fails Orthos Small FFTs after 23mins 48 secs

Ah my bane is here to slay me, it seems the Dread Core 1 has got it in for me. I have read about this situation before where one of the cores is weaker than another, still I'm not done just yet ;)

[1.425vCore set and testing . . . 30mins!]
