Intel vs. AMD

If it does what it says it does, it'll do you, but will it? We don't know, whereas we do if you get a Hiper or Enermax. He_Man, the limit is actually 3 lines if you have a picture as well.

 

oh yeah.ill have to change it.

 

Yep! Now back to topic, has anyone bought an E6300 yet?

about £500 for a great chip.......
wouldnt mind that

 

OK, been having random BSODs all day now. I check my memory and it's down to PC2700. I'm like, "Holy s**t man!" So I turn the vcore down to 3.75 and it clears up. But now my memory drops it's speed down to 240. So I'm thinking it's my memory. Good quality but it doesn't like to OC in a four stick configuration I guess.

Now I'm stuck at 2.4GHz.

Any ideas?

 

The 6300 and 6400 are only £150 and £180 a piece, not a great deal considering how they OC.

 

theone,
are you sure you can't run your memory on a divider?

 

Estuansis,
take 2 sticks out.

 

EDIT button?

 

crowy,

I went back an looked in the manual and there's nothing about a divider. Must be something for AMDs.

theone,
No,you can run intels with the memory on a divider if you have that option in your bios.Here's a 2.4c and 2.6c overclock:

 

u cant even read the info

 

No, but the text says all I need to know.

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3471 - how about this for a future development?

 

@He_Man,
I wasn't trying to show how these pentiums overclock,just that you can run the memory on a divider with an intel system if you have that option.
Sam knew what I was doing

 

I did? LOl then I can't have been paying enough attention!

 

crowy,

Duh!!! How old did you say you were? I had forgotten all about the bad old days when you set the memory speed, multiplier and mode with jumpers. I already tried locking the memory at 333 and loosened the memory timings which brought the memory up to 405MHz and it still won't complete a boot. I'll live with it at 3.90 for now. I don't think it's temperature related as it doesn't do a thermal shut-down. I may raise the voltage to 1.4 and try again. I'm just not too sure of the acuracy of the MB temp sensors. Sisoft Sandra doesn't detect any environmental monitors so something is wrong. I don't want to burn it up so for now I'll leave it as is.

I did a little experiment earlier today to see if the temps would go up and discovered that both temps rise as I slow down the case fan with the controller. The higher the CPU temp gets the closer the MB temp gets to it. The highest it got doing a burn-in was 50C/45C. At least I now know that it doesn't shut down at 50C so I know I've got a little headroom where I know it runs well. I'm not as worried as I was before about a meltdown.

Happy Computering,
theone

 

I'm not so sure the CPU is what you'd melt, I'm worried about your power regulators!

 

Alright. Tomorrow I'll pop out my number 2 and 4 sticks and see what I can do. I hope it helps. Maybe When I go on my super shopping spree later this year I'll get the 2 x 1GB Kinston HyperX. That oughta help.
