E6300 @ 2.9Ghz.. should i push further?

ill add my voltages once i restart my computer..

if your CPU is a "normal-avarage" e6300; then you can go over 3,1GHz with def V;)

Yea you can push harder. My E6300 does 3.4 @ 1.35v

[XenatR]

CPU Voltage: 1.4250 (dont ask me why i put it up to that lol)
Enhanced Power Slope: Enabled
FSB Voltage Override: 1.325
MCH/FCH Voltage Override: 1.525

Memory Correction: Non-ECC
Reference Memory: 333
Memory Frequency: 667
tCL: 4
tRCD: 4
tRP: 4
tRASmin: 12
Memory Voltage: 2

i dont know what to change 1st if i wanted to push it

and would i even notice much difference? dont mind pushing it hard, because im getting quad core later this year/next year.. but i dont want to burn my components out.

i have this E6300 with an XBX2 and G.Skill HZ ram powerd by a Corsair 620W

What board do you have? I dont need 1.525v for my NB. I use 1.35 for 490 fsb

and i dont know why i set it that 'high'... i think i saw somones screenshot and decided to try it lol

you like to put "lol" alot in your questions, and to be honest who the hell would laugh at someone OVERVOLTING something that doesnt need to be:confused: Why are you applying 1.425Vcore to your chip whne more then likely you can achive your same OC or BETTER using stock VCORE;) I would apply 1.375 and scale with that, I'll bet money that you will be able to hit 3.1+GHz using this voltage. My E6300 did 3.24GHz on stock Vcore. You are applying to much Vcore to your NB aswell. BAck it down to gain controll of your NB temp (If you even check that)

you're forgetting the L2 E6300s clock like crap. Mine needs exponentially greater voltage for clock after about 3.1 (for 24/7 stable)

actually, i just realized it could just be horrid vdroop on this board. the exponentially greater thing probably starts a bit later on hehe.

[XenatR]

i stumbled into some kind of wall when i went up to 433Mhz... orthos would just freeze, even at a slightly lower fsb

what does that mean?

Welcome to the world of Intel 975X. You mobo can't handle more. You might try increasing NB voltage though.

That is true. The 975 Chipset tops out about 435FSB+ With some Vmodding, and or great cooling of the NB you can get to 445-460FSB but that is really pushing it. Get a 965P board. With you very low multi, and OCing in mind, you should have bought a P5B-DLx or something to begin with. Once you get a 965P based board, 490+FSB will be a breeze.

..and why would you recommend a 965 over 975 with only 50 mhz difference..when 975 has a way better strap?

Because that 50mhz makes 350mhz on overall speed. Some people don't care about strap and such. Pure clockspeed. Plus, the guy wants to go higher, and the only way that is happening is to get a board that goes above 435mhz fsb.

if your CPU is a "normal-avarage" e6300; then you can go over 3,1GHz with def V;)

3.1 at def voltage is not average. its more like 1.4+ is average
3ghz at stock is somewhat average

you gotta recall default voltage for the chips varies from anything form 1.24-1.31v depending on the batch your cpu is.

So My E6300 possibly isn't as horrible as I thought it was?

Also, do the B2 revision E6300s run hotter than the L2s? I've also been told they clock better, any truth to that?

I forgot to take a pic of the CPU before I installed everything. However, I had just run out of AS5 and had to use Antec Formula 5 to install it, so I'll be reinstalling it when I get more AS5, so I'll take a pic then. I generally save the AS5 for CPU and use the Antec stuff on chipsets :cool:

Also, what do the numbers on the side of the box refer to? Do they contain any info about week or batch?

ok im gona keep it at 2.9

its fast enough.. + i dont think there will be a considerable difference in trying to push it to the max other than getting into trouble with black screens etc

im gona keep it like this and then go for a quad core when theyre down in prices at the end of the year/next year
