Overclocking and Temperatures

Pentium E6300 is based on the R0 revision of Wolfdale 2M core, which should have removed FSB wall and improved maximum overclock using lower voltages. Overclocking is done by simply raising the FSB bus frequency and keeping in check the memory multipliers. Final result is an impressive 3.90 GHz with 1.40 V core voltage in BIOS. Due to small VDrop, effective voltage varied between 1.375-1.40 V. Overclocking was done using the stock cooler making the result even more impressive, and with some decent cooling the result could have been even better.

Bellow you can review Pentium E6300 performance gains when overclocked. Stock settings are highlighted with blue and overclocked with green bar.
