E4300 Overclocking Thread

[Clunk]

Im interested to know other people's results with these new CPUs.

I went and got one from Scan today and it booted right out of the box @ 3600mhz In fairness, the volts were set to 1.41v, and it wasnt stable, but it looks promising.

It is currently priming at 3240mhz @ 1.3v which is pretty damn good for a £100 quid chip.
Ram @2.1v
All other voltage set to auto.

Ideally, post your stable results, but also your suicide shots as well and details of your system

pics and screenies to follow.

woah...nice, is the 3240mhz one stable? or not?

[Clunk]

Up to now, ill leave it running orthos over night, hopefully itll be ok

[Nick Smith]

what are temps like? can't be too high surely as the stock volts are 1.35 if i remember correctly.

[Clunk]

56/57c watercooled, its pretty warm in here though.

[Nick Smith]

thats not too bad i guess...considering i got to 2.24ghz on my e6300 at those temps, but that was with stock cooler fitted...and probably with the paper still attached

[Clunk]

Yours were idle temps I do believe

[Nick Smith]

yep lol, went down to 55 degrees after a while though! that was after constantly blowing air into the heatsink through a straw

Made me laugh rofl.

[Nick Smith]

forget watercooling, a teenager with a straw is the way forward in CPU cooling!

[Supershanks]

Lol!! go xtreme 7 use 2 straws
or even x4 "With Quad straw cooling" Oh Yea

Looks good Clunk

Nick and his heatpipe technology eh?

Right, orthos failed at 1.3v (4 hours) and 1.35v (after 9 hours grrr), so Ive just started it again at 1.36v, so fingers crossed.

Temps are 57c fully loaded on both cores.

Ill give it 12 hours and then it having some suicide shots

[Nick Smith]

Nick and his heatpipe technology eh?

i've already patented it

ouch...9 hours...ive never un orthos yet, i might soon though...

yay suicide shots

[mosherben]

maybe it should be good if people post their setups if they OC 4300's

Looking forward to the end of march for a go at Allendale

[Stubzz]

Am I right in thinking an generic DDR2 6400 ram will be good enough to reach a nice oc with one of these chips?

[chuckskull]

Should have someting to report come payday. Wanna stick one of these in the lovely PN1 SLi2 I won E4300 is perfect because of the higher multi
