Post your E4300 Overclock!

I'd suggest starting a new thread of your own

what about the guy that posted a 6300 speed in here?

Good idea, I will do that, thanks

If you mean my post... that was only because someone compared 6xxx with 4300. Someone else posted a near linear relationship with voltage/Mhz for the 4300 above a certain frequency... a relationship that does not appear to exist at the same frequencies of the 6xxx series. So while I posted on the 6300, it was more a commentary on the 4300 than the 6xxx series.

The 4300 is a great overclocker. It just appears to be a lot more difficult to get to 3Ghz and above than other Intel chips. People should know that when they buy a $120 chip... that it is not a slam dunk to hit 3Ghz. I just purchased some DDR2 ($60 for 2gig...no rebates!), and am about ready to go for 3GHz on my own 4300.

The 4 series was a bust in a sense. It wasn't like the 805 which clocked the same as all other 8 series, the Allendale native core clocks differently (as yall have no doubt observed). I reached the same 3375 ceiling [prime stable] with the core temp at 70c and the core temp at 50c so it really is a core limitation unfortunately. To break 3.5Ghz you will be pushing 1.6v+ but on the 6 series some people can get close to that on stock vcore. Bastards at Intel.... lol.

Happy clocking! 😀

Wow - Where??

I am about to pull the trigger on an Asus P5B-Deluxe Wifi (open box -$112)
e4300 ($113)
and 2GB of DDR 4-4-4-12 for $100

Would be nice to spend a little less

It was the Super Talent stuff at ewiz.com . I think it is up to $69 shipped now, no rebate. It is DDR 667 stuff which some people claim to have clocked up to 850-900Mhz. For E4300 overclocking, it looks like just the ticket. I don't think I have ever seen 2GB of memory cheaper than that in the history of computing.

Thanks for the reply, I already bought my stuff from Newegg last night (this morning 1AM). The motherboard is an OpenBox, so I will be crossing my fingers that it's ok.

I've had my E4300 for a few days now. I've overclocked it to 2.4ghz which is running very stable. According to Coretemp my idle temps are Core0 23C & Core1 23C and my load temps (using Intel TAT) are Core0 55C & Core1 54C.

Is it safe to go higher? What temperature should I not go over?

 

[SuperFly03]

Make sure you use CoreTemp v.94 as .95 misreads Tj max and elevates temps on each core by 15c typically. If you use CoreTemp as your monitor I wouldn't exceed 65c with TAT. You won't ever hit 100% load like you do with TAT so your temps would probably max out around 60c under normal circumstances. If you want to lower your temps you can lap your processor and heatsink or buy a new heatsink, though lapping is much cheaper hehe.

can anybody help.... E4300+stock intel hsf, ga 965p ds3 rev 3.3, 2x1gb ddr667 kingston here..when i raised the fsb 266-300 my windows cant boot SOMETIMES..at certain times it can succesfully boot and pass hours of gaming... and prime stable for more than 10 minutes...currently at 300x9, 1:1, vcore at 1.33v....im surprised even at 266x9(2.39) before this it failed to boot a few times, restarted the pc repeatitively then it succesfully enter windows...so my ques are
1) what are the cause that my windows cant boot? cmon, i was only at 266x9!
2) what are the safe highest vcore for stock fan?

 

[SuperFly03]

vcore for 300*9 might be a bit low, try 1.35 or 1.375.

have you adjusted your MCH and CPU VTT in accordance with this

 

[t3nchi]

Can someone please help me make sense of my temperature readings? I read Computronix's temperature guide but my screenshots are not making sense to me.

I need to know which screen is credible information (which has the right readings for Core 0 and Core 1, and which one has the right info on Tcase etc.) And why is my T-junction 100c??! C0 + C1?

I have some follow-up questions but hopefully someone can answer these questions first.

 

[chrissd]

None of them has the correct reading according to the c2d temp guide, you have to calibrate yourself according to his instructions. . As you can see Speedfan uses 85C tjunction, thats why it's temp is 15 lower, while coretemp 0.95 and TAT has a 100C tjunction. I like to think the correct answer is somewhere in between.

Newest results: 1.35 Vcore nets an Orthos 8 stable 2.8 gigahertz with an Gigabyte P965 S-3 and F9 BIOS. Sweet.

Does everyone here go by the 100 Tjunc or 85?

 

[t3nchi]

Or is it because Speedfan reports Tcase temperatures and Coretemp/TAT reports Tjunction temperatures??

 

[SuperFly03]

There are several things going wrong in this screenshot. First of all dump CoreTemp .95 and get CoreTemp .94. The 95 version detects the E4300 as a mobile processor and reports Tj max as 100c which throws temps off by 15c. The temps are reported as the degrees away from max Tj so when CoreTemp .95 misreads the Tj max by 15c is misreports Tj by 15c. This seems to be going on with Intel TAT also because look at the processor family in the upper left corner, Pentium M? Hmmm, I think not.

SpeedFan seems to be off with the tcase temp 41c just doesn't feel right. CompuTronix would have better advice on the offsets for your system, but the 34c looks about right depending on what cooler you are using.

 

[SuperFly03]

Or is it because Speedfan reports Tcase temperatures and Coretemp/TAT reports Tjunction temperatures??

SpeedFan reports both Tc and Tj. Tj is the "Core 0/1" and Tc tends to be Temp 1/2/3 or something like that.

CoreTemp and Intel TAT report Tj you are right.

85c is the official Intel spec for desktop processors. <--- Use this number

100c is the official Intel spec for mobile processors.

 

[marooned]

thanks for the info superfly re: tjunctions being misreported. This guy over at hard forums says there's 2 versions of e4300, one with tjunction of 85 and one with 100. which is correct? http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1031070555&postcount=11

 

[SuperFly03]

I was under the impression that all IHSless processors (mobile) were 100c max Tj but that all IHS procs (desktop, server) were 85c max. His theory is interesting but I am just not sure what proof there is.

The reason I go with CoreTemp .94 is because it correctly identifies the core as Allendale not as Conroe-2M as in .95.
