I got my e7300 at 3.8 stable! But should I go higher?

[Pickles Von Brine]

ATM I am running my e7300 at 3.8 stable and I was wondering, should I go higher? Maybe 3.9-4.0? But I would need another MASSIVE voltage increase to get to there. Maybe have to go to 1.5v...

Do it, then you did it, and then undo it.

Why not keep it? Also I am going to run my comp at 3.8 now IT IS SO FAST! I had it at 3.4 <.<

Congratulations

Now, if you try to push for 4Ghz, Id completely support that decision

 

[InTeL-iNsIdE]

3.8Ghz is pretty easy for a E7300 1.45v seems too high imo I have hit 3.8/4.0 on a E7300 at 1.3v

Every CPU is different. It is not worth it to put that much strain on the CPU and mobo for extra 100 or 200 MHz. With good AIR cooling 1.4 - 1.45 is acceptable for 24/7 IMO. In other words if you should keep it below 65-70C at load.

 

[Pickles Von Brine]

I stays below 70C (which max is 74.1) during prime which I ran for 8 hours and it was stable. I just booted into 4.0 at 1.5v which it was not stable and I am not going to push it higher than that.... 1.5v is really really high on air.

 

[IINexusII]

you must be mad, i got mine pretty stable at 1.36.. had to go back to 3.6 because the temp was going more than 78 so claimed as unstable dont push too far or its gonna blow

and use linpack. it would really show if its stable.

 

[Pickles Von Brine]

Um does running it for 250 runs it coming out stable count <.< no pics though e_e And I ran for 8 hours on prime.

still though i would be scared running it at 1.45

 

[Pickles Von Brine]

Not me. <.< I ran my HD4770 at 915/1000 @ 1.225v on stock cooler and it hit 94C >.> The temps scared me there but I got a mushashi and that fixed it

 

[IINexusII]

ok mate, good luck
