***The Official E4300 Overclocking Thread***

Looking to get 3ghz out of one of these in the next couple of weeks; shouldn't be hard, should it? Looks like it doesn't need much more voltage..

Are these things performing on the DS3/S3 boards? or are they just kicking on the 680i's?

3ghz should be fine, may need a slight voltage increase but each chip varies i guess

And i plan to run one on a DS3 by the end of the next week so unless anyone beats me to it, I shall let you know!

ASUS P5N-E SLI is the new mobo which does all the overclocking the i680 does without costing an arm & a leg. I have read threads where people are saying they are selling their DS3 ect. for a p5n-e sli....

Myself included! Providing it clocks as well as my DS3. It should hopefully allow me to pass this 450fsb wall the ds3 has with D9 RAM..

Nice clocks guys, was hoping to see some 3.6ghz stable action but you've only had them a few days so I'll let you off :p

What board you using big wayne?

How's yours doing easy?

Hi all,

feeling rather knackered today, my fault for staying up all night overclocking!. Just wanted to report that the 3.3GHz is rock solid!

12+ Hours Orthos 'Blend' Test :)
33ghzblend12hours7ay.jpg

e4300 3303MHz (9x367) - 1.425vCore - 1.45vNB- 17°C Idle/45°C Load

Looking forward to seeing everyones results, especially those people with sophisticated cooling systems. I noticed my load temps dropped very slightly and I'm not sure if its because I was running the blend test, or perhaps the arctic silver 5 I slapped on the e4300 yesterday is settling in a bit?

Just for anyone thats interested I have been using an ASUS P5B-Deluxe Wifi/AP with 2GB Crucial 10th Anniversary and a ANTEC TRIO 550 PSU.

Catch ya later!

Having read through the thread no one has mentioned if the E4300 is easiler to clock that the E6300 (on say the Asus P5N-E SLI or DS3 even) :eek:

Any thoughts or takers ?

As the number of people who actually have these CPUs and are posting can be counted on the fingers of one hand, I would say it's a bit early to make a definitive judgement. The DS3/E6300 is a proven combination. If you have to buy something right now, then go for that as it won't blow up in your face. I've been overclocking the living daylights out of my P5N-E SLi for the last coupl eof weeks and it's a good board, but it's not perfect either. I don't have an E4300 so I can't comment, but Big Wayne seems to be having no problems with his ;)

The 4300 _should_ be easier to clock due to the higher stock multi. It's also cheaper than the 6300 which makes it a good buy.
From these results though, it seems the 4300's don't clock quite as well as the 6300's. If you've got a 965 based board (or any mobo capable of FSB's in the high 400/low 500 range) then it would certainly be worth considering the 6300's. They seem to be hitting 3.5+ ghz quite happily, whereas it's looking like the 4300's arent going to make those clockspeeds.
Of course its still early days and things could change :)

Would it make sense that an E4300 was actually an E6600 that failed it's cache testing?

Thought the E4300 were a different breed altogether specifically made with 2Meg cache only fullstop...

Quite different to e6[3][4][6][7]00s with 4Meg.

@OC_A64 Cheers for the info

No it's a new "design". These chips are true Allendales (ie designed/manufactured with 2MB cache). Helps keeps costs down etc. Afaik the cache latencies are higher on the 4300's too which means, clock for clock (at the same FSB) they're a touch slower than the 6300's.
6300/6400's are probably failed 4mb chips however, cache reduced and drop the multi. Would allow intel to maximise profits and minimise wasted chips. Now their failure rate with the 4mb's is lower, the need to down-bin is less so the 4300 makes sense :)

All very true. The 4300's Allendale core uses less real estate on the Silicon Wafer so Intel can get more dies out of one wafer.
