Core 2 Duo Overclocking Thread

^Nah, auto is 2:3 for our boards.

really? wow....

My mistake

Model:e6300
MotherboardS3
Vcore:stock
Cooling:stock
Stability:fine

running @ 2.45GHZ, super pi is 23 seconds. Primed for 24 hours, everything is fine. My games keep crashing though, but I suspect it is the video card.

Auto will set a ratio to get the memory to run at its rated speed. Only DDR2-533 memory would be 1:1 on auto setting.

I suggest you set 1:1 manually, then overclock to see where that puts the memory. The penalty of running at a non-1:1 ratio is pretty high for Intels.

all you rich people and your C2D, you leave me with a P4 prescott behind in benchmarks, please donate all unused e6300/e6600, thank you

well, i r planning on getting a e6300 since i have a rosewill Z2 fan.

I can't seem to get the FSB above 378, but here's the weird part, it's totally stable at 378x9, I can run Prime95 all week long, it's that stable. One mhz up and Windows crashes, and if I do it in the BIOS, it wont post, then it will try again and settings with be reset.

I mean, I'm happy and all with 3.4Ghz, and I can run it on stock cooling, as it never gets above 52 at FULL FULL load, but I'd like to get to 4Ghz if possible.

Any other tips? I've messed around with RAM and voltage and nothing seems to work.

Cute, shall I make fun of you?

Nah, that'd be immature.

If it does not interest you, maybe staying out of the OC section would be a good choice for you.

Ok. Lets see. Try loosing the ram timings a little bit. Also you might need more voltage.


Im guessing your at 1.45?
