E6300, predict the final speed!

Right, mini compo! winner gets a cookie (and maybe a crimbo card too!)

Have an E6300 retail boxed CPU here, on 1.26v it manages 3.15ghz Orthos stable (8 hours) on Abit AB9.
The CPU's FAR from maxed, and soon should get a trip in a P5B good for well over 500 FSB.

So, all you gotta do is the following!
Predict the final Orthos stable speed, and the highest Pi 1mb speed for this chip.
Memory wise, have 2GB GSkill HZ, and 2GB Crucial Anniversary so *shouldn't* be limited memory wise.
Cooling will be STOCK Intel sink no fancy cooling (yet)

CPU FPO/Batch is L628B for those interested.

Place your bets, as above winner gets a cookie and maybe a crimbo card (and possibly a gift too, you lucky people )

 

It's gonna top out at 3.46Ghz

What's Pi 1mb speed?

 

Highest frequency the CPU can make through Super Pi's 1m test

 

How about...3.54 then, just a random guess, I'm hungry and want that cookie

Edit: raised it, thanks for the tip

 

Generally Pi 1m stable speeds are higher than Orthos stable speeds.
Orthos = stress test (run for 6+ hours) whereas Pi 1m lasts under 20 secs.

 

3.605GHz, although I think that the stock cooler will be the limiting factor.

 

ok, you've already got it to 3.15 but I'd stop at 3.14159... Who needs a cookie when you've got pi?

 

I'll guess 3.58GHz.

What's a crimbo card anyway?

 

3.51Ghz
Mmmmmmmm...cookies!

 

A chrimbo card is a Christmas card

What are the current temperatures?

 

There you go callum

 

With Intel stock cooling:
bootable but not benchable at 3.45GHz,
orthos stable at 3.30Ghz,
superpi stable at 3.38Ghz.

With a high end aftermarket cooler/water:
bootable 3.60-3.70GHz,
orthos at 3.50-3.60GHz,
superpi at 3.55-3.65GHz,
though depends on which cooler/setup you use.

My guess comes from the info provided plus the experience I got with my E6600 with a Scythe Ninja.

 

Highland3r, could you provide other voltage info as well if it's not too much trouble? i.e. FSB voltages and (G)MCH... though I'm not sure if these are common voltages to all C2D mobos or just my DS3 so it may be apples to oranges. Since I'm going to try to follow along here with my DS3 and E6300.

I think my mem may hold me back though. I got to 3.29GHz last night (still at stock volts on the core) and am going to start to try to make it orthos stable, it boots no prob and is superpi stable though.

Thanks,
Ryan

 

Sure thing, I've only got vMCH and vFSB on the P5B. vMCH is around 1.3 from what i remeber. I'll get you proper readings when the boards fired up in a bit.
vFSB doesn't tend to get touched, thats via a hardmod and again pretty sure its ~ 1.3v.

vCore = 1.26 atm and vDimm = 2.06. Those values are probably of little use to you however as they'll vary cpu to cpu

 

Stable at 3.4 Ghz.
~16 sec in Pi 1m

If it's the same board you clocked the E6600 with dry ice it may be possible to do even 3.5 ghz.

 

3.45 Superpi
3.42 Orthos

 

I'm gonna go a little higher and say 3.5 for orthos, 3.65 for super PI.

 

I dont think you guys have seen the L628Bs...

3.61337 Orthos
3.741337 SPi 1M

 

Yup indeed the 28B's rock, but there's only so much you can do with stock cooling lol!

 

Temps are HUGE problem. Managed just over an hour @ 3.5ghz but temps were in the 70's!
More to come hopefully!
