What do you think of this OC so far??

E6300
Corsair 5400 (rated 4-4-4-12 @ 667 @ 2.0v)


At the moment im on FSB 430x7 @ 3010Mhz core core voltage @ 1.375V
My ram was stable up to just below this on 44412, but around the 400mhz bus speed ++ I had to change timings to 55515 for stability.

As now my RAM is at ''430'' 1:1 so its at 860 I believe, which is pretty high compared to 667 rated. Its pretty certain the RAM is gnna be the bottleneck for this overclock, but what do you think, how much further do you think things can be pushed, and do ya have any tips before I proceed.

(note :I have also increased a few other voltages such as MCH but very slight.)
 
Seems good to me, I don't reckon RAM will be the limiting factor really as 6300's generally tend to top out just above 3ghz.
 
E6300 dont top out at 3ghz :/

it will be the RAM that will limit you.

The older 6300's were speed binned E6700 or w/e so in theory they will do... a lot with some nice RAM / 680i mobo to run unlinked.
 
Hey,

Im up and running stable (not HEAVILY tested) but tested pretty well @

3290MHz @ 470FSB on my e6300 which im super happy about :)

I'm milimetres from the total limit I would say, and doing some more in depth (already played around reasonably in depth here) tweaking would possibly enable me to squeeze a few more Mhz out, but nothing short of trivial TBH.

This here makes me smile:

Original super pi 1M = 29.2 ish secons
OC's super pi 1M = 17.5 ish seconds

Thats not far off halfing the time ... thats pretty nice...

E6300/B2 3150MHz - 1.35vCore (BIOS)

Had it running like this for a few weeks now, totally stable. Not sure what I done to my cooling though as this thing is hitting 60°C under full 'TAT' load. It's my original e6300 that I suspect has a flawed IHS, the surface is fairly flat/even but I don't think the CPU slug is making good contact with the IHS.

Not sure how the E6300s scale, I only did some basic testing

1860MHz - 2800MHz = 1.325vCore

2800MHz - 3150MHz = 1.35vCore

99% sure it will go higher but I need to adjust the cooling :o

Heres my clock, been running like this for a few months now. It didnt seem to want to go any higher but im happy as it is.

 
This E6300 i got im sure is pretty damn nice. Can do 400fsb (2800mhz) and undervolt it :/

I have the bath number wrote down some where - i'll dig it out.
 
Hey,

I'm up to 3290 at 470FSB, and it seems to be running stable, done a few 3dmark06 rune and @ 20mins of go-orthos-beta now. Though it doesn't seem to want to go any higher. It wont run stable at 475 I don't think, not sure if theres any more tweaking I can do tho...

up some more volts


ram volts to 2.3 if there not already

fsb +0.1
mch +0.1/2 (2 is ok i think)

and i heard PCI-E express 105 can also help with an overclock.
 
Hey thanks for the reply,

the only thing that confuses me about the ds3p is the "overvoltage"

I cant just set my vDIMM at 2.2, I can only overvoltage by X amount

this confuses the hell out of me because how do I know what im overvolting from? i.e. the original voltage that im adding 0.2 onto???

And I will 'try' and implement your suggestions, possibly the PCI freq could help and maybe a tad on the vDIMM

edit: So I want to set my vDIMM to 2.3... but is this overvoltage +0.3? cause I can't tell what the voltage was before? Am I just being really dim here? X)

I understand where you are coming frome - normal volts i think is 1.8 so if you choose +0.3/0.4 it will be ok. Not sure about your ram and how many volts it can take - 2.3 i would imagine?
 
Yeah my ram is rated at 2.0V at 667 4-4-4-12

So at 5-5-5-15 at 940 its gnna need some juice :) 2.3 should be totally fine, pushing much beyond that I dont know.

Thanks a lot for the reply

Try and get some airflow over the RAM as it can get abit warm :) at 2.4 i read it gets toasty lol.

+0.4/0.5 should be fine as im sure the DS3 defaults it to 1.8 (from what i can remember) but let some one else confirm this :D
