How far have YOU overclocked your E6300?

[compguy91]

I've thought about trying to OC my P4 once I get a new computer, and trying to get it past the 4.0GHZ mark (3.0 now) but I'd have to get a new mobo, case and a good cooler since dell doesn't let you OC.

Just got my best OC so far - 3850 MHz. Anything after that, and I got BSODs in XP.

Lol I thought that meant you had overclocked it 3.85Ghz!!

I did...it was a pretty sick OC, but it turned out to not be completely stable after a bit more testing. I'm now keeping it at a bit over 3 GHz, and it's completely stable with temperatures under load hovering around 40C.

Note that it's an E6600 though, not a E6300.

What? You increased the speed by 3.85Ghz? Cpuz shows the stock speed as 2.4Ghz, and the running speed as 3.85Ghz..

Im confused..

Oh, lol, no I didn't increase it that much, that's what it was running at, lol.

Misread the post, sorry.

Lol it's no problem, was just a little baffled!

hey all ive never overclocked any of my computers ive built my own computers and ive been mucking around with computers for about 10 years so i think i could do it with a little help. It sounds like a laugh what are the main advantages and disadvantages to overclocking i mean it sounds like one could seriousley screw a computer up if you get it wrong ?

I've been reading your posts on this forum for a week or so now and it sounds like you lot know what your talking about i however do not sometimes so my appolagies if i sound like a bit of a noob so any advise and help would be appreciated.
