Re:How to:Overclock an Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Processor!? - 2006/11/07 20:37 Hummm, makes me think I may be able to take my X6800 higher than the 1.45V that I used so far to reach 3505MHz. I get different temp readings from various sensors the one on the water cooler I've seen at 34°C. Everest reports three different temps, CPU, Core #1 and Core #2. The CPU is around same as (AINOS) ASUS mainboard utility report and sensor on CPU cooler, but both cores report temps from 38-40°C to as high as 62°C.

I would like to know which is more inportant to monitor? How high can these two cores go as well as the CPU itself? Can I try like 1.6-1.65V, without harming my CPU? I've still a little work on the H2O cooling, can't find the BlackPearl coolers for the GX2 locally, so I may have to go for Danger Den or Koolance. Good luck on the SLI for Intel project.

Re:How to:Overclock an Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Processor!? - 2006/11/07 20:48 With 1.45V I can go to 3.5GHz easily, but I would be real careful on your voltages, you should be able to reach 4GHz ( thats a big if) if your mainboard can handle those speeds. So far the only limiting thing on my setup is the memory. On NVIDIA chipsets thats a really a big if... Okay, me I would go in between Everest and the probe. So lets say your probe is at 34°C I would venture to say you are around 40°C idle ( which seems a little hot for water cooling). I would start finding out why its getting so warm mine is at 29°C idle and 35°C load (by MSI dual core center).

With your CPU you shouldn't need 1.45V to get the CPU to 3.5GHz, I say drop the voltage a tad to 1.41V and see if Windows loads... Oh I dont think I will be going NVIDIA but rather staying with ATI CrossFire...for now.

How far you can go is only limited by how far your board can go. And how cool you can keep it. I am currently using a Core 2 Duo E6400 at 3448MHz meaning 8 x 430MHz on a MSI 975X CrossFire board.
Okay, but normally the Core 2 Duo E6300 runs at 1.3-1.325V at default. So by going already to 1.425V that is already a nice increase. How high did you set the voltage for your E6400 to reach 3.5GHz?

Re:How to:Overclock an Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Processor!? - 2006/11/08 14:53 Lets see 1.41V to sustain 3448MHz. I do believe I was at 1.45V when I was shooting for 3.7GHz but I was stopped at 3.5GHz. Did you check what your actual volts to the CPU is? I do know some boards undervolt...

Re:How to:Overclock an Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Processor!? - 2006/11/08 16:05 I have the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe and at 1.425V I can just reach 2.93GHz but not fully stable. My memory is not the problem as I have DDR2-1000. So would you go to 1.45V for hitting more? My goal is to reach +3.0GHz on my Core 2 Duo E6300. If I can reach that I will go in some weeks to buy a Core 2 Duo E6600.

you be just as good with a 6400 theres not much difference between the 2 even tho the 6600 on up has the 4 meg cache . ok Firstly Mavke you know the drill i go get a better cooling solution for the Cpu and Nb First before cranking the volts higher , normally for the Nb a fan just placed on it can do the job nicly as far as cpu tho i look into a Coolmaster Hyper 6 + or something comparable i am currently running that cpu cooler and my temps are in the 30's ... i dont tink your memroy is holding u up ( unless you tightened it up then it will )

Re:How to:Overclock an Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Processor!? - 2006/11/08 21:17 The ASUS P5W DH Deluxe has quite a good cooling and I actually placed the extra fan on the silent cooling solution to make it perform even better. Actually I want the 4MB cache version but at the time a bought the E6300 there was only those in stock... I will just out the Zalman CNPS9700 on it, as that should give better cooling for the processor itself.
