Some fun with my E4300 and 965P-DS3

stncttr908 · 06-19-07, 06:34 PM

My everyday OC is in my sig, but I felt like having some fun this afternoon.

Not ORTHOS or Prime95 stable unfortunately, but not bad for a $118 processor! I was going to try for 3.6GHz for a 100% overclock, but I couldn't get it to even POST and was wary of going beyond about 1.55V on the vCore.

Awesome work.

How come we never have any afternoon fun?

It's so predictable, but I can't help laughing.

Sweet overclock..I think I'm having a small bout of envious here.

Nice overclock. You may want to disable "C1E Halt mode" in your BIOS, though, as it's not good for overclocking. See how it backed your multiplier down to 6 in that Everest shot? I've even had it interfere with some of my games before.

stncttr908 · 06-19-07, 08:06 PM

It can harm the overclock? I wasn't aware of that. I left it on so I could try and save some power with these energy costs skyrocketing.

I haven't had any problems with it so far. When the CPU needs it it kicks right up to 9x and stays there, AFAIK.

I been able to see around 3.5 to 3.6 on my e4300 as well. I just am not completely stable until around 3.0. It's a sweet spot, so I left it.

Mines not stable above ~333-334 FSB. Tried jumping up higher, to see if there was a "FSB hole," but it wouldn't even POST. Oh, well, 3GHz on a chip who's stock speed is 1800MHz ain't bad...especially for the price.

I'm definitely lucky. I'll check the stepping when I do a tear down (or go quad...)

Madpistol · 06-20-07, 09:35 AM

Those are some nice overclocks for that chip. Keep them coming.

I'll probably cave and get my water cooling gear a bit early just so I can say I got this beast past 100%.
