Ocing Without Using BIOS.

[Oreo]

Ok ive ordered a E6300 as there good for overclocking and then find out my Gigabyte mobo doesnt support Oc'ing in the BIOS ... atleast i think anway. Is there anyway to OC my E6300 through a desktop application ?

heres my mobo > http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=448646



Thanks

Easy tune and clockgen.

Ok Thanks, are these free applications that are reliable ?

i think most gigabyte mobo's come with easy tune... and yes easy tune is free and reliable... its how i hit 3.99 ghz and set the record on air here!! WOOT

WoW, Thats Cool. What do you reckon i shud overclock to with the Stock Cooler ?, my case has adequate/good cooling with 2x 120mm , 1 front , one rear. It also has a direced Air Vent over the CPU.

Thanks

Just over clock until you are either happy with the results, or are no longer stable. Most likely you will hit some heat issues with the stock cooler soon, so try to work in a good cooler into the budget.

i'd go with the zalman cpns9500 or the scythe ninja

I would say somewhere around 2.4-2.7ghz on stock cooler, because at the point you should not have to increase your voltage.

EDIT: What should you use if you don't have a Gigabyte motherboard.

OK 2.4-2.7ghz, Right... will that be cool enough or will it overheat and get to hot (60 Degrees C +) ?


Thanks

Sorry to bum off your thread

EDIT: What should you use if you don't have a Gigabyte motherboard.

but yea im using a 3800 x2, can i use clokgen and easy tune aswell, even if i dont have a gigabyte mobo? And where do i change the voltage because i downloaded clockgen and it doesn't do it there. Thanks
