what else can I do with this C2D?

DizMatt · 29 Mar 2009 at 12:57

right, solved my problems with the overclock dropping...

so...tested in prime95 and some games rather nicely so far
Old C2D e6300
g33m-ds2r mobo from OCUK
2gb matched OCZ 6400 ram from OCUK

Latest BIOS.
running at 2.8 Ghz at the mo. (only have x7 and x6 multipliers available)
45oC Idle this morning but it can hit 57oC underload until I whack up the RPM on the CPU fan
1:1 on the fs/ memory at the mo.
FSB 1600mhz with +0.1V (not sure if I need this, will check that later)
memory running at 800 which is nice and stable.

so is there anything else I should try. 3ghz would be nice but pretty happy with the clock as it saves me from getting another chip anytime soon. I only really place CSS and edit photos

Err... overclock it more?
Turn up the fsb and if it isn't stable turn up the vcore... you know; the usual.

Clock it further. And 57 degrees is nothing to worry about, in fact it's quite low.

Try for at least 3GHz. You might need to boost the Vcore a notch.

any datasource that I can check the upper limits of the RAM or mobo FSB that others have achieved? I can't find anything yet

It varies that much between components that there's little point. Just get stuck in
