Overclocking the e7300 to 4ghz

[stanispoulos]

Hi everyone,

Is anyone still using the E7300? Could you help with overclocking my own E7300? I can't push it past 3.6ghz.
I'm also having a hard time keeping the Vcore down.

Thanks!

My settings:
E7300 @ 9X400 @1.424V
Crucial Ballistix 4gb @ 1066 6/7/7/18
Gigabyte EP45 UD3P
Xigmatek Dark Knight CPU cooler
VDroop Turned on.

What are your temps idle/load? And have you set the voltage manually or are you keeping it on auto?

is that 800 MHz ram or 1066MHz ram and what voltage ?

RAM's defaults is 800mhz, overclocked to 1066mhz, ratio is 3:4

My temps for idle is around 33-35 C, under load its around 50-55 C. Voltage for CPU is 1.424, i know this is too high, but anything lower than that isn't stable in Prime95.

You are better off. I can't seem to get it stable at 3.6ghz on p95.
P95 Load temp as reported by core temp is 77C. Vcore=1.44 and it still stops testing on p95. Still experimenting. I am using cm sphere cooler but now i realize its only designed for a minor oc.
