Hi. I'm a user of E5300, and I was wondering how much I can overclock it to.
This is my rig:
Intel Pentium D E5300
2GB DDR2 800mhz Kingston
Galaxy 9800GT low power edition
DFI Infinity P965-S Dark Edition (says it's one of the best OC mobo there)
Normal dvd drive and 500gb WD Caviar Green
20" screen

Thanks. New to this stuff and got no idea how to do

i think can reach 4ghz? with very easy

You missed up the most important thing : what psu? You wont wanna risk damaging your desktop right

Oh yeah. My PSU is Enermax Super Power 550W.

My cheap Celeron E3300 is now running at 4.4GHz, my Pentium E6300 managed around 4.1GHz. Should be around that level.

4ghz@1.328v. but thats about the max i can get with acceptable voltage and temps.ur milestone might vary depends on ur motherboard, ram, psu etc..

I don;t want to hardcore OC. Just enough to run my Fallout 3 laglessly (i got 50+ mods, so it lags heaps) and Bioshock 2. Guess 3ghz is good enough for that, but i don;t know what RAM speed i should run and etc.

Anyone can help??

u can always try to increase ur fsb slowly to get around 3.0ghz + +, i think 3.6ghz should no problem for stock vcore ...

should i increase the supplying wattage?

if u want to get 3GHz, set the fsb to 240. multiplier at 12.5 and ram divider to 3:5. set the voltage to normal/default. dun leave it on auto.

ram divider to 3:5 means???? I'm using 800mhz ram and set it to 544mhz right now.

is this topic still active? can i know ram porform with the best at ratio fsb:dram is 1:1?

544mhz for ram is not very healthy...make it nearer to 800mhz

near to 800mhz 3:5 or 1:1?

No bro...
u cant judge lkdat...
3:5 and 1:1 are the ratio btwn Proc freq and ram freq only...

if your base clock is 200mhz, then using 1:1, your ram will be at 200mhz, or DDR2 400.
if your base clock is 200mhz, then using 3:5, your ram will be at 333mhz, or DDR2 667.
