E6300 and eVGA 680i Mobo

[imported_cinder]

I think I have reached my FSB wall now. Stable at 471.44 * 7. I am using a Thermaltake Big Typhoon for my cooling. It seems I can only do this when I run the memory linked and in sync mode. This makes my memory run slower though so that kinda stinks. I have 2Gigs of Crucial Ballistix PC2-8000. It down clocks it to 943Mhz instead of the 1000Mhz. Timings are 5-5-5-15 not that great but seem to be stable (so far). The core temp program I idle at 49C and about 52C on load. I have posted my CPU-Z validation below and I am gonna get some of the stress tests done tonight....

If anyone has some ideas on how I can get higher..let me know. Maybe I am not doing something properly.

i have the same problem.my wall on my E6400 is 467*8. see sig.

 

[PCTC2]

it could just be the chip. at 7x multi on my E6400, i can actually hit closer to 500 MHz FSB.

Think of it this way...on air cooling, that's still pretty impressive, that's what, a 77% overclock?

Voltage?

Decent guide, doesn't have specifics for your mobo though:

AT overclocked to 505 with a DS3 at 1.5v.

When going that high, try to throw in an additional fan or something, those boards run pretty hot.
