Im new here, so hello! PLEASE NOTE, CPUZ SEEMS TO SAY THE MULTI WAS X6, WHEN INFACT IT WAS X7. Its sort of like a Blog I did throught the day. Been overclocking this chip all day long, its an outstanding performer. Using the following components - Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - OEM Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard Scythe Ninja Plus Heatpipe CPU Cooler (Socket 478, 754, 939, 940, LGA755) G.Skill 2GB DDR2 LA PC2-5400 (2x1GB) CAS4 Dual Channel Kit Despite being held back by my slow RAM, I have so far managed to get the following, with a few voltage adjustments, with better RAM however, I could take it to 3Ghz easy. First Attempts - @ 2.6Ghz (speedstep is there hence CPU-Z showing 2.2Ghz) After more tweaking - @ 2.66Ghz The CPU is cooled by a scythe ninja and at 2.66Ghz doesnt exceed 52c under load. This is with a small voltage increase. Im looking to break 20s with this RAM, and then Ill get some HZ, and take it nearer 16s. Will do more benching later with 3DMark and so on, anyone have any requests etc.? Getting faster, managed 2.8Ghz now (400x7) CPU-Z says 2.4Ghz, but thats due to speedstep. Memory is starting to hit its boundaries I think now, going to try and squeeze the last drop out of it. Again.... Gotta Love it! Ive done it, broken 20s on SuperPI, with crap RAM. On air cooling too. w00t This E6300 wont stop going - The best I managed to get out of her was a 17s SuperPI, which I forgot to screeny, but my PI has a record of it so see here - This was at 3.46Ghz, a very impressive speed for an E6300 on Air, volts were only raised a tiny bit too. Temperatures when at 3.46Ghz were 46c idle, and didnt exceed 52c under load. I have got it now at stock volts at 3.22Ghz. Im damn impressed, and for some cheap GSkill 5300 LA Ram to be running at 460Mhz, its good too. Temps are 40c idle, 47c under load. The motherboard is excellent build quality, and has plenty of features. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Here we go, final benchmarks of the E6300 until I get better RAM, and the more extensive high score - that SuperPI was run at 3.4Ghz see the below validation. (shown as less due to speedstepping) http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=108466 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks, Robbo
Nice overclocks, but you might want to edit your screenshots a little as the system properties screen displays your windows XP pro serial key
Nice results. Awesome to see an air CPU on a sub-20s Superpi too - I didn't think we'd see that for a while before C2D was on the horizon. Looking forward to you getting some better RAM, 460Mhz is a decent result for what you had, especially at that price.
Wow, i've definitely got to look into getting myself a Conroe PC. Impressive results there, can't wait to see what it can do on water
I'm still waiting for my E6300 in the mail. I'm hoping my CAS5 6400 ram works as well as this, if not better. Same mobo, except my case wouldn't allow larger HSFs.
eh someone tested the e6600 and it seems that the e6300 went over its expectations. someone got the e6600 up to 3.0 ghz. i hope i can get my e6400 this high if not higher. dang thats amazing man. i need some oc tips when i do this is this fast than the core 2 flagship?!!?!? you gotta love how intel allows us to save money.
!!!!!!!!! How did you get that ram to hit 460 MHz!!?!?!?!? Mine refuses to go any further, and disables my OC if I get over 425. And I'm using 6400 ram!
