what overclock speed do you have your E6300 or E6400 running at ?

I dont know if it can be done on the DS3, I can change the ratio, if thats it what do I need to change it too?
I'm almost certain that a DS3 can't unlink the RAM / CPU.

Then unlink your RAM so that the CPU and RAM run at different FSB's. Unless your mobo cant that is.

Unfortunately the DS3 doesnt allow this, can only run a divider on the RAM and so is running the slowest possible with the current FSB. Bit of a pain but can play all the current games on pretty much full detail as can only go to 1280x1024 hence why i only bought the 256MB flavour of my card.

Your e6400 runs at under 1.0v at stock? :P

I managed 0.95V on my old DFI RD600, prime stable.

Makes the TDP something like 32W, down from 65W off, and when it throttles at idle to 266x6 it'll be somthing like 24W. :D

When i second hand it, i might stress that over its OCing, would be great for a HTPC. Idles at ambient at those volts too.
 
Got my 6400 running at 3.48 GHz. When I first fitted my Amanda I was running at 3.52 but I've had to drop it back a bit recently for some reason. Before that, I was stable at 3.2 with a Scythe Ninja HSF. Core voltage is at 1.44 although I did find mine was stable at stock volts to 3.4GHz.

Very impressive, I bet that would be nice for energy nuts :) Plus the drop in temperatures!

On topic, I've raised my 6400 to 3.2ghz now, running at stock volts at the moment except vdimm +0.1v.
 
6420@ 3.2 ghz 401x8 for now can go much further but cannot
be bothered yet to do the whole orthos thing again
all on stock voltage including chipset at stock.
 
3.2 GHZ, will boot higher, and also run, but this is my most stable clock :)
With a zalman cooler, don't remember which, haven't been at home for a while :)
E6400 by the way :)
 
e6400 @ 3.6ghz :D

although this does require a fair bit of voltage (1.65v :eek: ) but it runs at 60°c in orthos blend... cooled by a zalman 9500, so not the greatest cooling in the world..
 
E6420 - Ive had it to 2.88GHz but cant seem to get higher. When i try above 360 I get bsod, ive tried upping the vcore upto 1.4v but nothing. Any tips?

Running on a asus P5W DH and 2GB Corsair xms2 6400
 
Due to tempatures im having to run at 400fsb (2.8ghz) ACF7 ftl. Have done 460fsb but that was tops as it was ram limited. PC8500 please =]
 
I've noticed I've been getting a lot of hard lockups at 3.15GHz even though it'll run through 10 hours of Orthos priority 9, I think this may be a problem with my voltage supply as it's on stock at the moment. Thoughts?

Me 2. However I am running at stock at the moment just to make sure its the overclock thats causing it. I have a funny feeling it could be ram related i.e not getting enough voltage; as I would get lockups on idle. (was running at 2.1v, even though factory recommend 2.3v at eep settings)
Will let u know how i get on. :D
