Re:Overclocking my Core 2 Duo E6300 at 1.86GHz and go further? - 2008/12/03 15:17
Thanks for posting on the forums, rather than the private message. Well I have checked the details you have provided and well you are running the Core 2 Duo E6300 processor at only 1.59GHz instead of the normal 1.86GHz and this due to the wrong multiplier. The multiplier is set at 6 only which is not correct but should be set at 7 for the Core 2 Duo E6300. This will give you the actual default 1.86GHz, which is 266MHz bus speed times seven. That is actually why you not getting the default speed out of your Intel processor.
This will need to be done in the mainboard BIOS and the Core 2 Duod E6300, actually has a maximum multiplier of 7, cause Intel does limit non Extreme version at a maximum which is the clock speed they are designed for, but these can be set lower as well which is nice if you want to go for a higher bus speed. So can you try that first? I see you have an MSI mainboard so just look in the mainboard BIOS on the processos setting and look for multiplier and change it to 7 to get it running at 1.86GHz. And let us know if that worked, than we can go further with other overclocking.
