6300 fun!

[Highland3r]

Been ragging an E6300 recently, brought it for a 24/7 rig but after clocking in the AB9 it screamed to be pushed further.

In the P5B its turned into a monster... 8 hours Orthos stable @ 3.74ghz (watercooled, 1.42v loaded) and benchable to just under 3.95ghz on iced water!

Coupled with Crucial Anniversary (see other thread for more details) just managed to bag the top spot for pi 1m @ hwbot in the 6300 class. Not worth a huge number of points, but the #1 guy ran his CPU under DICE

Hopefully take the 32m and pi fasts in the near future, just waiting for some more ice to freeze. Should probably break out the mach, but it's much more fun this way

Ram voltage in both above was around 2.36v, Ram was memtest stable at those timings/voltage to 547 fsb probably more got bored and stopped.

great chip but whats wrong with the 1m? should be quicker then that for the size of that oc

say around 12.xx

2mb chip, times take a hit over the 4mb. OS isn't tweaked either so should be able to get a bit closer to 14 secs.

Shame the performance of the 2mb chips is so crap compared to the 4mb

so thats it

there is a fair size performance hit in the 2mb

 

[Highland3r]

Yup

Here's another shot of the E6600 at around the same speed. The 6300 OS isn't optimised but it gives a rough idea of the performance hit (in 1m anyway)

Nice work - great results for s budget system too, that 6300 packs a punch well above its weight, I am guessing that it destroys any AM2 chip including FX. But it's also good to show the importance of a larger cache - and perhaps magnifies an area that AMD must address if its to compete.

I love the P5B, is it modded in any way to achieve the level of stability

?

Great work my friend.

Cheers

P5B has vMCH, vFSB, vDimm and vCore mods. Only mods really used are vDimm, vMCH is increased a little to ~ 1.52 (over 1.45 via bios).

Regarding cache, Core2's been designed to make heavy use of its cache i think. Due to the offchip memory controller, memory latency is much higher - which is offset by great pre-fetch and increased cache. A64's have shown they don't really need loads of cache to perform well (512k vs 1mb, virtually no difference) whether this will still be the case when K8L or whatever its now called arrives who knows though.

Nice scores for such a chip

Why does the P5B require Vmods? How do they help? My P5B-D BIOS still has higher voltages I'm not using, or does it peak somewhere?

 

[Highland3r]

The vanilla doesnt have the voltage options of the Deluxe.

32M time is CRAP, OS is a base install no tweaks etc. It's ~ 45 secs maybe more off where it should be. Just wanted a rough idea of longer periods of stability for mobo/cpu and ram.

Im crying into my lap here. Thats a lovely overclock. I envy you your Toys sir

Extended your Spi 1M WR lead for the E63, and put yourself in a good position for 32M!

I doff my seasonally thermal headgear to you and those results

600FSB ppl!!

 

[Highland3r]

Cheers guys. Will get OS sorted for 32M and give her a run again tomorrow

Told you the p5b-deluxe are capable

 

[Highland3r]

It's the crappy vanilla mate lol

It's the crappy vanilla mate lol

There both capable
