Core 2 Duo e6300 is the junior processor in the Core line, operating at 266 MHz FSB (Front Side Bus). To obtain its nominal frequency of 1.86 GHz, a multiplier of x7 is used. Overclocking Core 2 Duo e6300 means making it work at a frequency higher than this value. To increase the speed of this processor, you need to overclock the FSB bus connecting it to the internal devices.
It is necessary
special utilities that test the stability of the system
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare to overclock your processor. Check the manufacturer's website for the latest BIOS version, check what changes have been made to it.
Step 2
Enter the motherboard BIOS and reduce the memory frequency. After all, if the memory initially operates at increasing coefficients, it is the memory frequency that can subsequently become the limiting factor when overclocking the processor. Therefore, set it to the lowest possible frequency value.
Step 3
Increase memory timings. The memory can operate at a low frequency with low timings, or at a high frequency with high ones, so low timings during overclocking, and, accordingly, when the memory frequency is increased, can also become an obstacle to overclocking the processor.
Step 4
Decrease the multiplier to x6 and find out to what FSB frequency your processor can overclock. This value is called FSB Wall.
Step 5
Fix the nominal processor multiplier value, as some "smart" BIOSes may decrease this value.
Step 6
Specify the nominal voltages explicitly so that they are not overstated by the motherboard during overclocking. If you do not know the nominal voltages, you can find them using a special utility, for example, RM Clock.
Step 7
Increase the FSB frequency in the BIOS, save the settings, load the operating system and test its stability. Repeat this step until the system is stable. Initially, the FSB frequency can be increased in large steps (50-100 MHz), gradually decreasing them down to 1 MHz.
