View Full Version : My [amazing] new e6300

Disappointed with the results from my e6600, I've moved onto testing the three e6300s I picked up. Yes, right now I have an e6600, the e6300 I have been using for the last two months, and three new e6300s :drool: The plan is to pick one and sell the rest.

The e6300 I'm currently playing around with has really impressed me. It easily does 500x7 [3.5GHz] on about 1.37-1.38V, maybe even less. I'll have screenshots tomorrow after I let Orthos run overnight.

In any case, I'm expecting to get into the 3.7GHz range. Thats a 100% overclock. Amazing.

EDIT: and for those wondering. L629B032

Wow, thats quite the Conroe, all of this is on that P5B of yours? nice find. 500fsb is quite a bit. what kind of cooling are you using?
Vulcan

Yeah, with the P5B. I also did some testing in a Biostar 965PT, performed much the same there.

My previous e6300 which I've had for about 2 months now also hit 500FSB, but it needed 1.575V to do it.

I have a feeling I'll find the limit of my board before I find the limit of this e6300. :beer:

Using an ultra-120, load core temps are around 60-62C

Do you plan to water cool? or are you just keeping air? I'm on my stock heatsink now, but i have the rad/pump in my case all ready to set up...just need to get my lazy a** in gear...stock i can get 375FSB with stock volts. havent messed with it a whole lot...hopefully i could get as high as yours on water...

No plans to water cool. The Ultra-120 is keeping my loads low enough for now.

I ran a good 7hr of orthos blend last night at 519 x 7 on 1.50V. It seems that the board begins to go unstable above that frequency, but I'm going to continue to tweak.

nice e6300 you've got there. ;)

what are you MAX clocks so far?

No plans to water cool. The Ultra-120 is keeping my loads low enough for now.

I ran a good 7hr of orthos blend last night at 524 x 7 on 1.50V. It seems that the board begins to go unstable above that frequency, but I'm going to continue to tweak.

What are your temps like at that freq/voltage? FWIW... it seems like alot of these boards peter out at the 520-525 range.

let's see some 1m super pi times.

I'd bet the cooling becomes the limit on your max prime/orthos stable clock.

thats not too bad, i have an older L626A416 that does 3.3 with 1.36, but thats as far as my ram will go.

Mmmm. Lovely.

This board is definatly hitting its limits in this area. I can boot up above 530mhz, but I get a hard lock fairly quickly. I'm probably going to tweak this as much as possible, then in a week or so I'm going to totally redo the cooling on the motherboard in the hopes that keeping the mosfets and NB cooler will gain me some more FSB.

/edit those are some sick clocks man :beer:

Wow, awesome work bro! 29B=one of the golden Conroe steppings.
Vulcan

Yes, indeed.

I'm thinking about dropping back to 3.5Ghz. I could use less than 1.4V then, and I don't really get any major performance differences [its only 170MHz after all]. I can probably tighten up my memory abit more at DDR1000 vs DDR 1050 too.


Anyway, this is going to hold me over until April... Planning to get a quad core then.

170MHz over 3500 is < 5% increase, probably not noticable in real-world apss. Definitely a keeper CPU ;) what's the VID?

nice chip man !

what about the other 3 :p

nice chip man !

what about the other 3 :p
Mmmm, they aren't quite as good.

VID is 1.325

No, this can't be right, I thought only low VID CPU's were allowed to clock well. :p

haha. Personally, I've never seen a e6300 with a VID lower than 1.325.

What did your E6600 do? It is hard to believe that you are hitting ~525fsb but your E6600 couldn't do 3.5ghz. Glad to hear you got a nice chip though.

I'm thinking mine clocks about the same as yours...I got up to about 3.4ghz on stock VID (1.325) before I started getting errors. I ran 3.6 there for a while but decided to bump it down to 3375 @ stock volts. Same thinking as you...not worth the extra little bit. I still crank it up if I think I'll need it.
