Sifus, need to ask summore questions..

Got this from Intel website for my E6300 processor HERE



pressing the Thermal Specification link in the website, it is defined as



From Core Temp, my processor, E6300 has a Tjunction of 85c. Now im confused, what is the maximum tolerable temperature these processors can handle? Is it 61.4c or 85c?

I really hope its not 61.4c. What say you?

room got aircond? closed case?

folding@home and orthos got difference? i know orthos and TAT load got a few degrees different lor..

yerp.. have been tryingg.. so far found a sweet spot for 400x7 @ 1.185v vcore.
idling at 44c (TAT)
load orthos at 53c
closed case, air conditioned room..

trying to rite now trying at 450x7 @ 1.27v vcore
so far, load at 59c scared reaching 60c zone already.. hopefully the concensus of 65c safety zone is true.

nice variations.. mine is tbtvx
just applied as5 yesterday, have to wait like 200 hours or so to see the real powerr.

oowwhh.. thanks for explaining!

well, I guess the processor would just die/malfunction long before it melts perhaps?

Just trying to kinda calculate the risk.. wanna overclock, but still remain within safe boundaries.

are you guys talking about the ds3 rev 2.0 or the ds3p? I'm getting confused now. What's the difference in ds3 rev 2.0?

Ahh. found the answer.



so I guess i have the rev 1.0

Thanks for sharing. Downloading on the double!

I still get looping restarts using f8 though.. sounds like somethng might break in there..

probably out of topic. but what do you do when you get looping restarts?

for me, i start to panic and press the power and reset button.. until it randomly/magically boots at the stock settingg..

I even tried switching off the power mains but still no go.. it'll resets when it wants to be okay.. what a b****!

hhmm.. I didnt reset everything else.

In my case it went alright. But no I dont really know the real reason why it will work or not. I only know that it worked for me.

am using f9 rite now.. max stable is still at 460 fsb. it could be my ram or my cpu reaching a limit already.

other than that, nothing much to report actually.

1.45 v?? waahhh.. whats your idle and load temp then? not hot meh?

I've got a weird problem here.. Manage to pass 6 hours of orthos @ 460 x 7, but as soon as I shutdown my computer, I cant boot it up back. (those kentut's that you get when you fail an overclock.) Pretty annoyingg..

Im using ds3[f9] with e6300.

Does it work?

I've toned down to my previous day to day oc @ 400x7. Still no restarting errors yet. But just find it annoying that at max stable settings, i cant restart the computer! guess its not stable after all..

looking at p00kit's oc results, i was inspired to find out the upper limit of my e6300. But sadly, i kinda hit the wall somewhere before 470 fsb

At 470fsb, i could load windows @ stock vcore, and even run the superPI 1m but it would only last for like 5 seconds in orthos! argghhh.. i've even tried to pump the vcore to 1.4v but still no go.. using ds3 with kvr 667 1 gb (single).
i've tried running the ram at 480 mhz using divider 4:5 (or 5:4) and it works well, which should mean that the ram should work at 470 fsb or is it?

Could it be my psu holding me back? Im using Acbel 450w. The 12v rails looks okay to me..

using the thermaltake bigtyp vx only. But the temp is not so bad.. i usually go for this crazy runs when my room is pretty cool (air cond at full blast). Even at 460 FSB, my load is still below 55c.

i guess your right, probably its the proc. I've always thought this baby had potential.. (i could run 430x7 @ 1.25v)

Im pretty sure its fine. THe retention mechanism is not the same as the vx but it would fit into ure 775 socket.

I actually tried running the ram @ ddr940 using a divider. ie having my fsb @ 376 and using a 4:5 divider (2.5 in the ds3 bios setting) to get an effective speed of ddr 940 for my rams). At these settings, i could pass orthos blend and large. Or is running ddr940 on 1:1 different than running 4:5?

oh well.. you can actually start by increasing your vcore.

Im not using AB9. But maybe you can try putting the vcore at 1.35v for starters. Make have disabled EIST, virtualisation technology in the advanced motherboard option (or the comparable in ure bios).

If still cannot boot, i recommend you read the stickies around here. Maybe you need to change either your ram voltage and/or timing.
