Queenz Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Today I came home from picking up something at school and couldn't help but notice to see a Core 2 Duo box sitting on my kitchen table from the mail thing. At first I thought it was my C2D E6300 box, and that someone took it out. But I turned it over and it said Core 2 Duo E4300. Oh my I got so happy. I called and asked my dad who did it belong to, and he said he got it for me as a christmas present. Now I am here all alone at home stuck with this thing. I want to use it real bad right now and do some OC's. I have an ABIT AG8 motherboard from my Celly, but it doesn't support Core 2 Duo. Although I have heard of some people actually being able to use the E4300 on non supported boards with sticks of DDR400 without needing a BIOS update due to its 800 MHz bus. What I don't understand is how could the Voltage Regulator work with it. Oh well I guess I can give it a try right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cchalogamer Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Right now 3.15 with 1.35V, but stability is unknown, 2.9 was the last "stability check" I've got the RAM running 1:1 so @ 350 and stock timmings (DDR2-800 G.Skill NQ) so that's not an issue The board I'm using was a good friend's "old" ASUS P5B-E (he had MASSIVE problems (not related to OCing at all), I'm only having minor ones (again OC is going good) While I don't HATE it I think I'll continue to pass on ASUS boards...the deal I got on it with the ram however was just a little too good to passup Now for some rough stability testing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 cchalo, if you're looking for a good solid board that OCs well, the Gigabyte DS4 is a good choice (not sold in the US I think? ). For the reason stated, the DQ6 would be a good board to get, its even got a couple more features than the DS4, which already OCs very well.

Comp Dude2 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Yep, cheaper and faster, that is why i am getting one When i was assking about it someone pointed me towards a reveiw in which they got theirs to hit 3.42, a 90% oc lol! And queenz, it is very kind of your dad and all but isn't the 4300 pretty darn similar to your 6300 lol? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeo55 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 the 4300s are better than the 6300s? didn't know that. atleast...it seems they are both have the same cache, but the e4300 has a lower bus speed... now why is this good? e6300=266x7=1.86ghz e4300=200x9=1.8ghz you can probably see where this is going Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
