Even with the ihs off? Hmm, try a bit more above 400fsb, and apply something like 1.6v just to see if it works, don't stable test it because I just want to know if it's a fsb thing or not

I'm already @ 119% of spec voltage, 10-12% is recommended. 1.6vcore... you're lucky I have a DFI board and can do that, hehe. I know where you are going with this, straps do weird things. Plus if I could actually get 3.6GHz.... HMMMM lol.
 
Your small dorm room is screwing you. I live in a loft apartment. :wink:

Haha... maybe it is just a bad pron video screwing you up, might want to dl it again. Can you play games stably? If not it speaks almost to a lack of power on the 12v rail. Idk, I'd need more info.

a) about the temps... I mean, the CPU temperature delta from idle to load... it's 38C to 82C in Core Temp, a delta of 44C!!

b) It seems to be just H.264 videos that crash the machine. Running TAT does the same thing; I think the CPU just has to be really hot for it to crash under video load. I played UT2004 for 20 minutes stably.
 
My bad, you do seem to have the rd600 😳 Should have seen it in your sig, I believe juan has it in the blog, check it out to see if you can find instructions to do so. But most likely it will require the strap mod for you

I've researched most well known OC'ers experiences with the RD600. 😀

Strap mod? Meh, no real benefit to me.
 
That's cool, but according to wusy, if do the 1066 strap mod for the e4300, then it will oc the same as regular conroes, so I would give it a try before thinking it won't do anything

Plus you can sell it on Ebay for a 2.4 GHz "modded" E4300 :lol:

really... I am not sure I believe this, as it is contradictory to logic. Why would changing the default FSB affect the end result of overclocking... It would seem that each chip has a limit inherent to it and once you reach it you reach it. So now I need to break down my build, buy a conductive ink pin, draw a line and rebuild it?

Hmmm. This violates all my little built in red flags about being "too good to be true" lol.

I know the strap mod changes the default FSB to 266 from 200 and leaves the vcore the same.
 
I really don't know, but wusy told me that just yesterday, because we were discussing whether I should take my ihs off, and if I do what to cool it with. But after some thought, I've decided not to go tec, it seems as there are too many problems with it as it is, and it will only work well in ideal situations, unless you have something to say about that
Click to expand...

I know wusy is brilliant, but that just doesn't compute. Wonder if I should bother PM'ing him.
 
Wouldn't help, we only talk in msn since that's pretty much the only place he's around besides a few other forums, and also toms irc chat (check peter's sig for that)
Click to expand...

Yeah i've seen the IRC link and clicked on it... just wasn't sure if anyone was actually active in it.

I feel as if I have talked to Wusy via AIM before... long time ago when my DFI LP Nforce 4 mobo was giving my crap.

Interesting... I know wusy is studying to be a doctor (or some form of medicine) and very busy, so I wouldn't want to bother him with a trivial question.
 
I got some interesting voltage vs. Fmax data now.

4hr Orthos stable clock speeds:
1.475V: 3268 MHz
1.425V: 3177 MHz
1.375V: 3076 MHz

It looks linear to me! So I fit the data: Fmax=1900*Vcore+468
Each +0.05V yields ~95MHz.
EDIT: No, actually it doesn't look and shouldn't be linear, otherwise we'd all just put Vcore to 5V and clock to 10GHz.

So the question is how far should I be able to push it at stock volts?
According to the equation, at 1.325V I should be hitting a Fmax of 2985 MHz.

Crap. My chip probably can't do 3GHz at stock voltage.

EDIT: This data beautifully shows the decreasing impact of increasing voltage on extra OC headroom. It's not linear, but fitting a 2nd order curve to 3 data points is mathematically ... questionable.
 
Ok, I couldn't get 380 to stay stable with the 2 hours I put into tweking it. When my govermental accounting final is over I will spend all of thursday tweaking the GTLREf Voltage and FSB IO Strengths. So far its 375 * 9 @ 1.55 completely stable... j ust got done playing 2142 for a few hours and Primed it for 6 hours.

Wahoo.
 
That's nice, but still, if you had a conroe without an ihs, you'd be over 4ghz right now with the ultra 120 e

Yeah yeah.... I am tiding myself over till penryn. We shall see how it goes.

At the time of the acquisition the E4300 was $150 and E6600 was $350, so you are right that a Conroe would be better, but circumstances didn't quite allow it back then. :?
 
But what about the e6400? That one wasn't all that much more than the e4300, but I suppose I can't blame you since everyone expected the e4300 to be the next pentium d 805 with the insane mult, while instead the e4300 used a different core and wasn't binned as well so it ended up sucking in oc comparison
Click to expand...

Yeah, I got the E4300 right after it came out and after I had seen one at 4.5GHz. I got screwed on the deal. Such is life, I had to reduce it to 3150 for everyday use because the voltages I was running through the NB PLL were causing video card rendering problem, But it is prime stable and CPU Z verified at 375 * 9, so I will write my build up on thursday.
 
I think your best bet for overclocking would be the dump the allendale for an e6420, that one seems to be a far better ocer than the e6600, and there's no chance of getting an allendale e6400 (though I only heard of it once or twice) if you get the 4mb cache version

I think I'll suffer for a couple of months until buying the Q6600 with the less-than-stellar E4300. If I bought an E6420 with the intention of getting a better OC and still planned to get the Q6600, Intel would win even more money than they deserve ;-) (E4300 *and* E6420 down the drain), which would suck. I'm already irritated that I'll end up tossing the E4300 in three or four months.

I feel like an @$$hole, but BANKRUPT THEM!!
 
hi @all ^^.. me againe ..!
o after i got all those problems with overclocking.. in the end it was like u said.. it didn´t work because i had the mainboard with onboardgraphic..😀..!

i now got the ga-965p-ds3p and normaly everything should work right..! i got the fsb on 300... and just want to overclock to 2.7 ghz.. cause then normaly i don´s have to upper the v-core ..! sry if it´s a little hard 2 understand me but my english is not the best and i also don´t know sooo much of overclocking.. ^^..! ok now here´s my problem..! when i overclock my cpu.. and restart my pc it shows in dos mode that the pc runs with 2.7 ghz.., in windows / system it shows me *intel core cpu 4300 @ 1800 ghz ; 2.7 ghz - 2gb ram

and in everest it tells me my pc is running with 1.8 ghz ..!

on the bios i changed everything like it should be.. so now .. it could be everest telling wrong thing.. or maybe my bios.. or i´m just getting crazy now 😀..!

maybe someone got an idea..! :)
 
hmmm just seen something..! when i boot it tells me everythings allright..! 9x 300 mhz so 2.7 ghz..! but in everest in windows it tells me that my pc is just working with 6x 300 ...

no wonder that everest is telling me that it is just working with 1.8 ghz..!

i tried to set all 2 default and make everything new but didn´t help..-.-..! begins 2 suck..^^..!!

When overclocking, disable SpeedStep. That's why you're hitting 1.8 at idle. Try upping the FSB to 315MHz or something, the idle speed will also increase.

Oh, and I just picked up a new E4300, which runs roughly 10C cooler and overclocks very slightly better. More to follow.
 
I've got an e4300 that should be arriving here soon, but I have a crappy board and ram so I probably won't get far with it...asrock dual-vsta and kingston ddr-400, meh.
 
hmm yeah i got it now...! was not the oferclocking disable / enable problem..! i´ve set my bios 2 default.. and on this point it changed *cpu enhanced halt /cpu eist function* to enabled..! no wonder that nothing really wanted 2 work *lol..! but thanks for help.., this forum is starting 2 get a favourite for me 😀..^^..!

can somone maybe tell me how to calculate the overclocking stuff.. ? like what kind of calculation i got 2 make when i want to for excample overclock 2 3.6 ghz or something like that..!
 
You figure out what your cpu multiplier is, then multiply that by your frontside bus speed, for example:

An E4300 has a 9x multiplier, so if you put it to 333fsb it will come out to just under 3ghz. Note that most Intel cpu's have a "quad pumped" fsb, that sends data at 4x per clock cycle, so it's effectively a 1333fsb then, but the bios would consider it 333.
 
You mind tossing down one of those e6400s to me? I'll give you a fair price if you want (can't afford anything above $100 though)
Click to expand...

Can't, I swapped it with another proc from somebody who doesn't overclock. The old chip: L702 C567 4/16/2007
The new chip: Q641 A296 1/10/2007
Possibly more E4300s to come.

Turns out, I get about 10MHz better OCs out of the Q641 chip at all voltages; still no 3GHz at stock volts. But the chip is about 10C cooler, so I'm much more willing to crank up the volts.

I'm beginning to suspect my P5B Deluxe. *stares at Vdroop (set to 1.425V, sees 1.4V at idle, and 1.368V at load!)*
