You're loosened the timings a bit?

About as high as she'll go, I got it to post a few times at 3.8GHz but theres no way to get it stable. I've got 3.2GHz stable, right now working at 3.4GHz but I may need better cooling to keep it under my personal heat threshold (60C for these chips at 100% load).

Now getting the RAM stable, thats a living nightmare.

I've messed with the timings a bit, but not too much. It seemed alot slower with the timings backed off, but that was awhile ago when I tried it, lol, so I slowed it down and kept the timings at 5-5-5-12. I may try loosing them up again here, when I get a chance. Week before spring break though, gonna be busy for me, lol.

I am running my 4400 x2 s939 @ 2376 mhz. And thats 24/7. Take that motherFu....oops srry this isn't the gold club.

I was limited by cooling so its really low, but I've got pics of my sempron overclocks.


Later I will post my e6300 pics. That is one of the most incredible chips I've run across. Suicide I got near 3.6ghz from what i remember (i'll check my screenies) and it's been running stable 24/7 for about 4 weeks now (with a few restarts for linux installation) at 3.2ish ghz. All this on a cnps9500 cooler and lowish voltage (stock for the 3.2).

hooray

I run my E8400 at 3.2GHz all the time.

With this new p5k-e my e6300 seems to be able to post consistently at 3.5ghz.

Still trying to narrow down whether it's the psu or the case that's making the board not want to post all the time though.

how stable is it when it does post?

Well, I need to hook up a hard drive to it and actually install windows still, lol, but with the cooler master psu it posts every time, so I have a lot of hope for it.

I'll probably do that tonight, if only for the fact that I need a computer to use the tuner card that I need to hook up my super nintendo so that I can play super mario bros.

I'll get some cpu-z screenshots at that time.
