Nymins you should use coretemp 0.95. 0.94 reads the e4300s temp 15C too low.

Try Intel TAT as well it should match what coretemp 0.95 reports.

I thought The 0.95 read them 15c too high. The bios reads the same idle temps of around 33-36c, as does Everest and Speedfan. Is TAT not kinda messed up for the E4300 series?
 
I find TAT and Core Temp are both 10-15C higher than speed fan for me while Speed fan records the same idle temps as the BIOS :confused:

Haven't tried Everest yet.

Try using the Coretemp 0.94 version instead of 0.95. I find that it reads the temps the same as bios, Speedfan and Everest. Im in the same situation as you with TAT and the newest version of Coretemp.

Same here. Core temp 0.94 reads identical temps to speedfan, bios etc yet 0.95 reads it higher for some reason. All the temps i've given on here has been with 0.95 version though.

Ahh... cool, i'll give that a go :)
 
I'll be joining the e4300 club soon. I'll be using a gigabyte S3, 2 gigs of Geil Value PC5300 and the stock cooler. The whole tower, optical, HD and OS included all for £420.

Quite frankly, i'll be happy to get even close to 3ghz.
 
Up to 2.880GHz on stock cooling and voltage:

Looks good, now just leave it to run the stability test.

Also download TAT to get the temps or try the new CoreTemp 0.95.

If you can keep it under 55°C load I think you will get a bit more out in the MHz dept.

Yea i will leave it to run for a few hours. TAT and Coretemp 0.95 give me incorrect readings though, i get the same as i posted with all other programs but TAT and the newest Coretemp. Dunno what the problem is.

What are the readings from TAT and Coretemp 0.95? post a screenie if you can.

The E4300 makes a lot of sense now its around the £70 quid mark

P.S: Do you think 'someone' is craving attention? :D

TBH the 4mb cache 6320 for 30 more makes more sense.

The price of the 4300 against the E2140 make buying a 4300 futile.

55 for a E2140 or 70 for a 4300?

If spending 70 on a 4300 then anyone in their right mind would get a 6320 with double the cache for 30 more.

There is keeping to a budget,but also there is false economy.

Can't wait to test a E2140@ 3.5ghz against my findings of a E4300 @ 3.5ghz
 
To be truthful some people are on a tight budget and £30 means a lot for other items in their build,and once you start to add £30 here and £30 there you gone from a £70 cpu to what ever double ,triple the price,trying to wait until AMD quad out and some DX10 games but almost brought a c2d on impulse since ram so cheap.
Only need to upgrade for games and not playing that many at moment silly realy.


edit: and some people are not on a tight budget good for them as they buy and sell a lot of hardware and tell us what it like,it a hobby to almost all of us who post here but some build for a living that fine the more info we have better it is, i learnt quite a bit for my next build weather it is a c2d or a quad from intel or amd.

Thought this was a good place to post results:

3.213Ghz (the 0.013 is important because it makes the frequency faster than my mates work computer - yes I know that his has more cache on his top end C2D but he doesn't know that).

Vcore 1.45V (isn't stable any lower).

8 hours Orthos stable with small FFT length.

Overclocked on a MSI 6PN SLi 650i motherboard with all settings that can be turned off off and all default Vs/frequencies bar FSB.

Kingston buget RAM with Micron chips used at mild overclock from 666Mhz setting in 1:1.

When overclocking I didn't get any Orthos errors with lower voltages but the computer would reboot after a time. Anyone know of another method to get round this other than increasing VCore?
