im running 458x7 with 1.4v no sweat loads just under 50 in these cooler temps


edit: no need for 1.4v, i just needed to give my ram some extra luvin, volts are at 1.375, and even then im not sure if it even needs that much.

Just about any O/C that uses default or low vcore and does not have high temps will be perfectly safe. Certainly, 400 FSB (2.8 gig) is a no brainer. If you have decent cooling and good components, you can probably go higher.

Default is 266 FSB. Multiplier is 7X, so 7X266=1862 MHz or 1.86 gig.

Probably can do 365 FSB with default vcore. My buddy has an E6300 and runs at 400 FSB with only one vcore bump above default. He got it a couple of months ago. Some of the newest E6300 CPUs O/C even better.

Yeah, you have to understand that these new chips are EXTREMELY resiliant. I have one of the lucky chips with 1.275 VID. So I'm currently hitting 3ghz at 1.3v I could probably even do that at 1.275... I just like having it higher

yeah what they said,

2.8 is common on stock vcore, i dislike stock coolers, but at that speed a 50 buck cooler pays for it self many times over, get something like a ninja plus with something like a PWM fan from JMC to install before u even build the pc, to save the trouble of pulling the mobo and clean up when your not happy with the stook cooler, cause you wont be.

Im trying to hit 500 FSB, like HBB and if a newbie guy like me can hit 3.2 simple an easy so can you!
