he didnt mention if it was Tcase or Tjunction..either way though, its really hot

just for info, im not at 34c (Tcase) 48c (Tjunction) on a 29c roomtemp :)

but thats with EIST enabled though :)

load temps reached 49-50c Tcase and 61c (Tjunction) which is weird coz i already added 5c adjustments but the coretemp still gets left behind (in this case by 4c)

room temp is at 27-28c
 
Ok to clearify my situation..... Tjunction shoots up to 78c and tcase shoots up to 69c. I know it might pop but for gods sake I wanna see this baby burn!!!!!!! Been twaeking it all day and it seems to not wan to overclock higher than 3.77ghz. My dear god, i was really hoping to get 3.8ghz. but i think the temp is killing it. I must search for a good cooler.
 
hehehe, well ofcourse not. I want to get the best bang for the buck and hope the cpu dont bang and loss my buck. but luckily i bought all this stuff at Fry's.. so i can return it if it fails. 15 day return policy is great.
 
Ok guys, this is my second post in here and i feel i should share this. I bought a E6300 with stock cooler. Bought a Ga-965P-S3. Bought OCZ2P8002GK ram. Also a 600 watt PSU. A 8800gts 320.

Ok... i followed the whole overclocking guide for the E6300 using this mobo and the results were good. I was able to hit 3.2 ghz stable with stock cooling. And what ever i did i could not get past it. So.... i decided to get really expensive ram. I ended up getting OCZ PC8500 which is rated at 1066 mhz. Just changing that memory I was able to bring this baby to 3.5 ghz with stock cooling. Amazing!!! I did flash the mobo bios to the most current version just in case but even tried the older ram and still could not get post 3.2. So everyone who buys this CPU with this motherboard, it is crucial to get ram able to hit 1000 ghz. other you will limit the potential of the processor speed. And keep in mind I'm using stock cooling so this rig is super good. All the benchmarks beat the E6700 extreme which cost around 600 dollars i believe. So this turned out money well spent. I have one more objective to to thou... I cannot keep the PC8500 memory cuz it cost me 300 dollars... and im not about to spend that much money on memory. Ive read all around about cheaper memory doing 1000mhz easily like Gail and patriots... which cost alot less. if anyone can suggest memory that hits 1000 mhz please let me know.. my budget is 200 dollars. hope this is good info. Also... the first memory which capped my cpu speed was a OCZ2P8002GK 4-5-4-15 PC6400 800mgz. Thgis is ok if you want to limit you cpu overclocking, but if you want more power get the higher mhz memory.

1GB COSAIR TWINX 5-5-5-12 DDR2 XMS2 ( Price $129.99 ) Memory can go well above 1000ghz I found out by accident ... I went to 1200 by accident because I forgot to lower the multi thingy 😳 ...
 
Thxs meggawattz2000... i will try that memory... Corsair is usually good for that. Pinoyako, if you system is stable i think you should worry too much. Why dont you try to overclock?

coz my idle and load temps arent low enough 🙁 even with AS-5 i still get up to 65c TAT meaning if i OC this then i might get to 70ish temps which isnt good..

one big LOLS though..so i received a tube of AS-5 from a friend, and he also suggested lapping the HSF to a mirror finish..and so i did, and instead of the first mistake i did when applying HSF by speading it (well actually another friend applied it for me as im not familiar with reseating HSFs) i (and this time its 100% me) followed the guide as suggested on the AS-5 website, i also lapped the HSF to an almost mirror finish

so time to reinstall the HSF to the board and as ive read, its better to do it while outside the case to see if the push pins are in place...and so i did....

now the big LOLS..seeing the push pins in place, i decided to "lock" the push pins by twisting the pins as the arrow suggested..WRONG! apparently it "unlocks" the push pins..so i booted up, looked at PC HEALTH..and watched my temps (via BIOS) rise to almost 85c before it shut down..i thought..WTF?! did i overlap? what did i do wrong?

so i dissasembled the thing again, and looked at the HSF to see if there was contact..and there was indeed contact..smelled the proc, and no "burnt" or "funny" smell...so i cleaned up the HSF and Proc with ispropyl alcohol and reapplied the AS-5 (again as directed on the guide..that is to use only a grain of rice size at the center)

locked the HSF in place and noticed 1 pin was wobbly, so i read the Giagabyte manual (intel manual wasnt very helpful as to which way is to lock) and lo and behold i was supposed to go against the arrow to lock! lols

so i did..now pins in place and CPU is "normal" again..dunno if i overlapped (if theres such a thing) but temps are acceptable (comparable to stock with stock thermal pad for now) dunno how long before i see the benefits of the proper AS-5 application as well as lapping the HSF
 
OMG! You almost barbeque'd it!!!!!! lol! Yes, i was considering doing that myself too, to get it as flat as possible but im scared to ruin it. Well, next step... overclock that mothereffer!!!!!!
 
Yeah baby yeah!!! Just returned the 300 dollar memory and went with Corsair xms2 pc6400 memory for 119 dollars. Its work as good as the 300 dollar one. Weeeeeee!!!!!!!!! Im clocking at 3.6 rock steady!!!!!!

lols, thankfully i had the thermal features on and it just shut down..arent intel procs designed to just throttle down and shutdown upon reaching a certain temp?
 
were you referring to me? anyway, just did a mild OC (bump to 2100Mhz) anyway, idle and load temps rose by 2-3c ..WTF? i mean its such a mild OC..hmmm

Orthos Prime hit a max of 64c during the 10 minutes of testing.. but its 33c today so im sort of happy..will continue monitoring temps though..hopefully in a day or two this as-5 would have lowered my temps by 2-3 more degrees
 
Well well, guess what? I decided to push this further and ended corrupting my hard drive. LOL! Luckily it was salvegable and just formatted and reinstalled windows. Turned out that 3.8 was way to high for this cooler. I managed to boot on 3.8 with cpu v at 1.5575 and it went online and tried playing BF2 and BSOD came on. Then windows never rebooted. hehehehe.. well im down clocking back to 3.5 until i get better cooler.
 
hey arent you pushing it a bit too much? lols how much performance do you need anyway?

im at 2400Mhz now and wont push it further (thinking about returning to stock speeds too)

this has passed stability testing via Orthos (1 hour) and OCCT too, but the temps are a bit weird

here are my readings using TAT

room temp (30c)

stock

49c idle/61c load

2100Mhz

52c idle/65c load

2400Mhz

55c idle/66c load

ZOMG 8O 1000ghz RAM? 1 THZ ram???!?!?!?

Gail ram that blows away the competition too?

Patriots in your computer too?!??!

800mgz!

ROFLMAO sorry dude

does it pass in prime95. orthos, or superpi under heavy load?
 
funny how my temps are..idle temps are higher on my OC but load temps are almost the same

stock 49idle/62load
2100 53idle/64load
2400 57idle/65 load

tests mere made on Orthos Prime/same duration and same room temps (around 32c)
 
Apache live, sorry its a typo.. i meant to write 1000mhz. Well at these speeds im getting 11024 score on 3dmark06. I have a 8800 gts from evga. All my games play incredibly smooth. So performacewise im about 30% faster than E6800 extreme that cost 600 dollars. So not bad for a 180 dollar chip. I just wish i coulsd reach 4 ghz. Im considering returning this processor and buying a E6600 since im reading alot of posts online about that cpu reaching 4 ghz on air only. But what if it dont?Only one way to find out.... :)
 
ok my OC settings so far

2333Mhz (333x7)
1.312 vcore

TAT readings

53 idle/63 load

tested stable on OCCT torture test

Kabayan!!! Hehe
Hey we have the same specs, except that i use DS3. My OC temp is lower than your stock speed. I'm using Scythe Ninja rev B.

I OC'ed my E6300 at 2.8 ghz with 35-40 degrees celcius at idle. This is at room temp from 28-33 degrees. I have 50 degrees at load, using ORTHOS.

Well my mobo temp plays around 44-45 degrees at load. Dang it!!! I believe it's because of the air flow, the ninja is big and somewhat obstructs air flow. I'm planning to buy a system cooler to bring down the mobo temp.

Get a decent aftermarket cooler. It will bring down the temp.
 
lol, im happy with 2.33Ghz till i get decent cooling, i dont want to damage this chip

@kabayan, isnt the scythe heavy? im thinking of either the thermalright ultra 120 or the 9500LED, but im afraid id crack the mobo if i handle the CPU..😀

Although big, the weight of the scythe ninja is at the base. The aluminum fins are light. It's really ok as long as you firmly seat it.

You won't crack the mobo. What i hate about socket 775 is the way the retention mechanism is placed. For the default heatsink and the likes, you need to push it to lock.
 
to say the stock HSF's retention mechanism is crap would be an understatement..i nearly fried my proc because it didnt lock correctly,and the pins look so fragile i dont think it would last 10-15 HSF reseatings

BTW, waht volts are you running on that OC?

what about FSB and MCH overvolt protection?

can you suggest volt settings for me? the lowest stable possible please :)

I wouldnt be surprised if you already have damaged the processor or at least shortened its life by running it at 3.8 on a stock fan. That was just plain dumb.
Set it to 1.325 and see how high she goes. Watch the temps. Mine is completely stable at 3.4 using that voltage.

lol, i didnt even OC it past 2.4Ghz...moreso 3.8...i wont push it any further than 2.33Ghz until i get aftermarket cooling as even on 2.33 i get Orthos 100% Temps of 65c Coretemp and its too much for me..
