[Novato] Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 + Gigabyte EP45-UD3L

[bakero]

Hello everyone, my name is Daniel and I would like to ask the experts in the field for some advice on how far I can push my PC, which is in use almost 24/7, and I would like it to remain stable.

My components are as follows:

Core 2 Duo E7300 2.6 ghz
MB Gigabyte Ga-Ep45-ud3l
4 Gb of Kingston Khx8500d2k2/4g DDR2 1066 Mhz ram
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus cooler
3 intake fans 120 mm
3 exhaust fans 120 mm
Ati Radeon HD 4xxx Series video card

Thank you very much for your help.

hello and welcome.
if you start by saying what OC you have ….
and how you made it ;D

This stock still doesn't have OC

And you have already read this, right?

Salu2!

Yes, in fact I had already overclocked my previous PC, I understand everything, there's no problem with that, only the last one I had, I only increased it from 2.2 to 2.6, it was a small OC but I understand everything, the necessary programs, the tests, I'm not that clueless about that.

Thanks.

If so, in fact I had already overclocked my previous pc so I understand everything, there is no problem with that, only the last one I had I only increased it from 2.2 to 2.6 it was a small oc but I understand everything, the necessary programs, the tests, in that I am not so clueless.

Thanks.

so what is the question? ;D
and about doing O.C to a 24/7 I don't know …..

It seems like you have good ventilation in your case and your CPU cooler is quite good. The P45 chipset is very good for overclocking, and the memory you have is also good.

The E7300 has a bus of 266 and a FSB of 1066, which gives you room to do OC, the problem is that due to its speed, I notice that it has a low multiplier of 10.

I would start by downloading and putting everything on default, download CPUZ and check what voltage it puts on auto, then, start lowering the voltage, and doing stability tests (so you know if your processor can handle low voltages). Once you have lowered the voltage (if you can, that depends on what your motherboard applies in automatic mode), then you can start doing OC.

Before starting to overclock, I would set the memory frequency manually to 800Mhz, so as you go up the bus, your memory frequencies will also go up, and so when you OC your processor, instead of OCing your memory, you are rather bringing it closer to its original frequencies (it's easier to start, and if you have more experience, you can play with that, but I don't think that's the case)

In the P45 chipset and with the socket 775, it is more recommended to disable Intel SpeedStep, CPU Spread Spectrum, and the states C1 and C3 (if I remember correctly), then I would raise the bus from 266 to 280, to obtain a frequency of 2.8Ghz, but with the lowest voltage you can get. If I remember correctly, these processors at 1.25V feel pretty good, so try to keep your voltage between 1.23 and 1.26.

And well, that's how you go step by step, raising the bus, you will find a lot of information on San Google, but if you want more "personalized" help, I'm happy to help you with what I can.
