I got my hands on an intel core2duo e4300 @ stock 1.8 it scored 120.78 on XBench but then i raised the fsb to 266 from 200 and it shot up to 2.4ghz and my score went up to 145.52! (tried 300 also but nothing would come on) Sorry guys im just happy with this processor. i actually had better luck oc'n this one than my 6600! smile.gif

Mm I got my E6600 much further than 145.52..
I got it around 175, but db.xbench.com is down so I can't show it to ya..

471x4 FSB

Do you mean 471x7? I got my boyfriend's 6320 from 1.86GHz up to 3GHz, but his RAM prevents it from going any higher. I already had to reduce the memory multiplier from 3x to 2x (FSB is 433MHz). I couldn't get it to boot with the memory over 900MHz (366 FSB with memory at 2.5x wouldn't boot, and the CPU was only at 2.56GHz at that setting).

WOW, MAN YOU GUYS HAVE GOTTEN YOUR CORE2DUO'S UP THERE!!! smile.gif

I HAVE ALMOST GIVEN UP WITH MESSING WITH MY 6600 SYSTEM UNTIL I BUY SOME BETTER RAM(1066)

IM JUST HAVING FUN NOW WITH MY E4300(THE TEST DUMMY). ACTUALLY MY HIGHEST SCORE NOW IS ABOUT 154. SOMETHING AFTER DISABLING BEAM SYNC AND OPTIMIZING WITH ONYX.

I CANT IMAGINE TAKING MY FSB UP TO 471, THATS INSANE, BUT I LOVE IT!!!!!!

RIGHT NOW I HAVE AN ASUS ARTIC SOMETHING OR OTHER CPU COOLER THAT SEEMS TO BE DOING THE JOB. CURRENTLY I HAVE 2GB(4X512) PC 4200 RAM ON THE E4300.

ANYWAYS THIS IS PROBABLY MY FIRST SUCCESSFUL OVERCLOCK SO IM VERY PLEASED WITH THE BAD AXE 2 AND THE 1.8 C2D.

sarahbau, well if you are calculating CPU speed then yes.

I was talking about FSB, 471 quad pumped.

THE 6320 IS A QUAD CORE?


EDIT: OOOPS TEMPORARY BRAIN FART, NEVER MIND THE QUESTION. smile.gif

I find that I get better performance by setting the multiplier 2:1 and lowering the latency as opposed to a higher multiplier. Apparently 5:3 is really poor for Core2 as having the cache running synchronously with memory is a plus.

I've heard of people getting their E3400s up to 3.6ghz and over using and aftermarket cooler.
That's over a 100% overclock wacko.gif  
Looks like the E3400 is a little overclocking gem. I'll be getting my own hopefully by the end of August and I might overclock it
