I had a stock e4500 running in my system so when i put the fsb to 1333 it fails, so when i got my e6300 i thought hey why is it only 1.86? so i thought i would raise the 1333 and i should be a little better then the stock e4500. so it is running at 2.333 or something, here is a pic, please reply if this is good or bad. Thanks!

Congratulations, you're overclocked! Now all you need to do is stability test. Run Prime95 25.11 or OCCT 3.01 for a few hours (actually, one hour of OCCT:linpack, or 12 hours of Prime95 small FFT.)

Temps will increase during the stress-testing, you want to monitor them with SpeedFan or CoreTemp.

Your E4500 might have worked at 333FSB, but you would have to increase the voltage (vcore) a tad, and then you would have to watch your temps and probably improve your cooling.

? A e6300 runs at 2.8?
He's underclocked.

This is an original Conroe E6300. Good job. Just keep track of temperatures and stability (run something like OCCT or Prime95 for 10-12 hours) and you're good.

I have an E6400 Conroe Core2Duo at stock 2.13GHz right now, but for a year I ran it at 3.2GHz (8*400FSB (1600QDR)) and ran it at times at 3.73GB (8*466FSB (1867QDR))
