Overclocking my Core 2 Duo E6300 at 1.86GHz and go further? - 2008/12/03 14:38 Hi everyone, I'm new here. I've been looking around trying to find how to overclock my processor and this looks like my best bet at the moment. I'm a n00b. Don't know the first thing about overclocking. All I know is its risky business and cause some damage to PC components.

Here's some info on my system

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.

Re:Overclocking my Core 2 Duo E6300 at 1.86GHz and go further? - 2008/12/03 16:40 Before I attempt to play around in the BIOS, will changing the multiplier from 6 to 7 raise the CPU temperature? Is it anything I need to worry about?

Well when you change that multiplier which is something that the mainboard will freely support I think from 1x to 20x, but the CPU itself with block between certain values and for the Core 2 Duo E6300 that is between 6x and 7x, and the default setting is 7x for this processors. Currently you are not running it at the default setting but you are running your CPU underclocked. And yes by raising it to 7x, which should set from the start you will go from 1.59GHz to 1.86GHz and as such the temps might raise a little but the CPU is designed for it. Even a Core 2 Duo E6300 should be able to run easily at around 2.40GHz and even higher.

Re:Overclocking my Core 2 Duo E6300 at 1.86GHz and go further? - 2008/12/04 03:27 Unless I'm looking at the wrong thing. It looks like the Multiplier value is read only (locked). Can't seem to change it.

Someone told me the reason the multiplier value is at 6 is because EIST (Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology) is at work.
And that when my PC is idle it will run in at the value 6 to save power but then when my applications need full power, it will run at max speed.
