I got my E7300 up to 4.0GHz.

Have a look:

very nice, just be sure to tone it down when not needed....

That's exactly what I did! Temperature was completely unstable on air cooling. jumping up 8 to 10 degrees just from web page scrolling!!

I've been running standard clocks for the past week, but am hoping to go up to 4GHz again when my bro-in-law and sis come round to show off some benchmarks in F.E.A.R. Check out my thread in benching for an update soon. I will post it there.

I'm sure it'll rip fear apart

No it's really running at 3.6GHz because the system info above doesn't account for the use of a lowered multiplier. My chip needs much more voltage to run just a little higher so I decided that 3.6 was the sweetspot.

4.28, holy momma o.o

Nice numbers. 3.6 sounds good.

I can't wait really.

Here's a more recent overclock ranging from 3.4GHz to 3.60GHz.

These are at standard clocks:

3.4GHz:

Finally 3.60GHz:

I want to run 3DMark06 at 4.0GHz, but am hesitant because of only having air cooling. Probably will do it though! When I do I'll post the results here!!

Here is my lovely 3.75GHz clocks:

I will edit this post to enter my 3.8GHz clock when it becomes successful.

WOW, nice clocks...

... is this achieved with stock cooling...?

~~RE III - Frankie~~ · Feb 18, 2009, 06:25 AM

No. I have a Xigmatek S1283 with a Thermaltake 12cm 2500RPM fan connected to it. Also 3 other 12cm fans inside the case. I have been at 4.0GHz all day without any problems.

What are you temps like under full load at 1.5VCore?

Intels 45nm process should be kept at 1.45Volts or less ideally for long-term use, although to be honest the chips so cheap loosing a few years to degradation wont really matter that much.

~~RE III - Frankie~~ · Feb 18, 2009, 06:21 PM

Everything is stable and the temps run at about 60 even under full load.

Good good

Nice OC

Mike
