Ok this is just the initial but I am getting 3450 right now with 1.55 vcore on a p5n-e what is safe Vcore to run on water?
 
I agree with TehQuick 1.55v would scare me a little.

BTW

TehQuick you know there is a new bios update out for your board. If not researched it alot but so far I've good results with it.

Does this one work?

yes that'll work ill add you now...

guys not sure if i can be online anytime soon ... power might go out for awhile.. if its really bad itll be off for a couple of weeks...the island i am on right now Guam is in Typhoon Condition 2 which means a typhoon is gonna hit in 24 hours here are some recent pics... but for more update go to this site:
http://www.goes.noaa.gov/guam/

the winds of the typhoon is minor gusting up to 55mph... we are used to windows up to 180mph.. and gusts up to 220mph... the last typhoon was so strong it broke one of the speed minitors at Anderson AirForce base... haha.. hope this one is not that strong! hope it stays below 100mph! and i have lived without power and water for 2weeks after that SuperTyphoon... ahahah everyone was savages on the island washing clothes by hand .... and so on... that SuperTyphoon actually blew cars away.. man... oh yeah this typhoon now about to hit is named KONG-REY ! hahah

I've got a fairly high OC on my E4300 that I'd post, but most of the CPU info that you're wanting I don't have, I never looked before I installed the chip in my system, it really didn't concern me at the time (and still doesn't). If you'll post my OC without all those silly codes, I'll post up the info that I do have if you don't need all those codes, cause I'm not pulling my water block off the system at this time.

I may still have the box the chip came in and I know the info is on the lable, I'll have to check to see if I can find it.

yes if you find the box itll tell you the codes.. even if you dont have the week or code.. ill still post your entry... but itll be in black..... meaning not completed... thanks
 
Glad you survived the typhoon, videomasterz. The radar was out when I checked it last night. Hope the cleanup isn't too bad.

On mine, I was abot to run Orthos stable at 3.51 GHz for 7 hours but a random reboot made my attempt go poof :( It's on air cooling, mind you ;) Now that I've reseated my HSF with a new bolt-thru mechanism, I may try to check if I can get it higher.

Anyway, it's a good thing to show what the E4300 can do with a proper setup and a bit of luck :D
 
There's a lot of luck that goes into OC'ing a system, one little weak link and everything goes to crap quickly.

I'm still waiting on a new bios for my board, the MSi boards have a FSB hole as well as a problem of not letting you drop the CPU multis at higher FSB, with any luck that will be fixed with the next update.
 
videomasterz, I hope all's well on that part of the planet. On my side, we got a bit of cold weather but not as cold as I wanted. At any rate, 3C temps got me better clocks...to recliam top spot. Cheers!

Quick question. Which cpu is going to be less memory requirement for Overclocking, the E4300 or E6300? IE: Which cpu will I be able to overclock the highest with if I decided to use cheap DDR2 PC2-6400 800mhz memory, instead of overclocking micron d9's.

e4300. well let's say you have a target goal of 3.2ghz to hit. the e43 has a 9x multi, so it'd take only 9x355=3200. With the e63, it only has a 7x multi, so it'd require 457fsb to hit it. If you go with a 650/680 chipset (asus p5n-e is cheap), I believe (don't quote me though) that it has downscalars for ram dividers. However, with say a p965, the lowest multi is 1:1, meaning you'd run fsb in sync with ram. So you'd be running ram at 457, or 914.

I'd say you should be able to take your cheap pc2-6400 up to 914, but possibly at slacker timings and higher voltages.

What particular cheap 6400 are you looking at?

I'm gonna setup watercooling for this cpu, I feel I can push it higher but it runs too hot for stock cooler unlike the other e6600 I had before... Will I be able to make another entry into the database with another cooling setup but same cpu?
 
Thats what I thought. For some reason ive read some people saying the E6300 is easier on the memory. Why is that? I figured the higher multiplier should be easier on a E4300. Yes my target goal is 3.2ghz. :p On the memory, I bought ocz PC2-6400, but im thinking of returning it for some gskill. Basically im not sure on the memory at this point since I havnt decided on the mobo yet. Anyways, im just trying to get an idea on which cpu is easier to OC with and which requires less from the memory.

Nice overclock there Donkers.... I should have tried for more when I had a friends E6300.... Its such a shame the E6300 I had belongs to a total n00b, maybe I can borrow it another time and see if I can get the #1 spot again..... Good job.....
 
You should tell your noob friend that it is another noob that owns your arse in the e6300 category...hehehe. Thanx for the compliment - I know you're a good sport. Btw, once your noob buddy sees that new Luihed protoype you posted at XS, he's going to think twice lending you that chip :eek: Good Luck!

Its still running strong. I don't have the time to run it longer. 8.5hrs is more than solid enough for me...i bet it would go on much longer if I had the time and patience.

Thanks for the update videomasterz! Appreciate all the effort you have put forth in this thread... and it has inspired me to overclock more!

Thanks.
 
How many entries are we allowed again? I'm about to get a new motherboard, so I figured I'd close the chapter on this p5b vanilla. I've always liked 3.6ghz, so I'll do the same with this one last update. I apologize, videomasterz. I must be a real pain in your ass. I'm not all too proud of 450fsb on 1333strap, but it gets me the 3.6ghz. This'll update the 3500mhz one to match up with my old cpu. Here it goes:

Hopefully, next time I post, it'll be 7x515~3600 on 1066strap with my dfi infinity p965-s.

If you'd rather I consolidated, it's ok to remove either the ds3 entry or this p5b one, although the ds3 is using a l617a processor if you want to keep it for statistical reference for the different weeks.

Thanks again. This is a great database

edit: up to 31+ hours now. hmm. if it does crash again at this point, I'd have to suspect motherboard. no way in hell I can keep blaming the cpu like this. It's kind of crazy though. I'm almost positive it's going to crash before it hits 72 hours. I've had 3 e6400's and all have done 8x450=3600 with 1.5v, but I was foolish to sell the first two. All of them did 24+ hours stably a few times, but all eventually crash out before 48. At 3.2, I've been able to break 72 hours on multiple attempts

edit: 66 hours done.



going to stop the test on small fft, since it's proven stable. will try large/blend next, and start focusing on timings

edit: doing some large fft action:
