1. How fast will the e6300 be at the standard 1.83GHz?
2. How should i Overclock it, like how many times total to what GHz?
3. Overclocking ram? Advantages?
4. What type of cooling will be neede for cpu and minimal other component overclocking?



Once iam fluent, and educated on overclocking ill attempt to begin it...



Thanks
 
Yeah, no problem.
The core 2 duos run pretty cool so a stock cooler should work well until you increase the vcore voltage.
 
Yes, that ram will work fine. Overclocking the ram doesn't do much as far as performance.
Increasing the vcore voltage provides better stability when running at a high clock speed.
The overclock profiles are preset overclocked settings for your bios. They are good for novice overclockers but don't give you the full potential overclocking ability of your cpu.
 
ok thanks
hm is the default GHz now at 1.83 fast...? like what should my top total goal be that i can clock over time
and just good air flow should be fine?
 
Unless your CPU has unlocked upwards multiplier, you OC through increasing FSB, which OC's the ram, so you really can't JUST overclock the ram. As for increasing vcore, only do that when your OC is unstable, but dont push it too high, as a high voltage would greatly reduce the life of the CPU.
 
...Read the guide, again. Targets don't exist in overclocking. You just go on an adventure, finding out what your specific processor can do.

You should know to keep an eye on your core temps. That will tell you if your cooling set-up can/can't handle the voltage increases
 
Actually, the ASUS P5NSLI isn't a great overclocking motherboard. You would be much better off with a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3.
 
yea i only got to 2.66ghz stable, but i could undervolt the processor so it was my motherboards fsb that was limiting me from overclocking any further.
if you want to overclock to the extent that the core 2 duo can, then i suggest a higher model like the e6600.
 
anything else i can do with software or diffrent hardware casue i doubt ill be able to return the mobo =/
anything i can do
also besides the new cpu
 
No, its basically the same for every CPU. (The method depends on the motherboard)

Increase the fsb in increments of 5Mhz... Thats basically all there is to it! Whenthe system goes unstable (eg freezes, restarts, BSOD..) then you increase Vcore by a notch (not too much). More voltage = more heat so you might need a good cooler.

Step 1. You multiplier is 7 and your FSB is 266.
8*266 = core clock of 1862 Mhz

**Increase FSB by 5mhz***
8*271 = core clock of 1890 mhz

**Increase FSB by 5mhz***
8*276 = core clock of 2208 mhz

Get it now? Note that overclocking your FSB will also put strain on RAM and PCI bus - so set the PCI bus frequency at a set 100Mhz so it doesnt keep it down!
