Hello. Im new here, and Im having a slight, er, problem with my couple month old system. (Specs in sig). Now, I had high hopes for My E7300, as I have seen many a report of 3.8Ghz on stock or slightly modified voltages. Well, mine wont seem to do that, no matter what I do. Right now, Im running it at 3Ghz (2.66stock), 400Mhz FSB (266 stock), with 1.25v vcore (1.2 actual) just to be stable. This is a problem, because as soon as I try to hit 3.4, or even 3.2, it requires a MASSIVE voltage increase. 3.4Ghz requires 1.325 (1.295 actual). I haven't touched the termination voltage or any of those other ones, I just leave them on auto. Right now, this is the settings...
CPU clock- 3.0Ghz
FSB- 400
CPU Div- 7.5
FSB Strap- 400
Memory Speed- 400 (800)
Mem Div- 1:1
Memory timings- 4-4-4-9 w/ tRD 7 @ 2.2V and MCH Voltage of 1.4v.
PCIe clock- 101Mhz
CPU voltage- 1.25v
No Matter what I do, it requires massive amounts of vCore just go up a tiny bit. Im starting to think I got a dud chip, which is quite frustrating. The memory is not the issue. Would you suggest anything? 3.6Ghz @ 1.25v or even 1.3v sounds really good. Thanks in advance!
