Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 overclocked 100% using air cooling!
Written by Andreas G 13 September 2006 11:25

Intel has with its well tested 65nm manufacturing process managed to create a really efficient foundation for its Core 2 Duo processors and that the Core architecture has enormous overclocking potential is hardly news to anyone. But what the user Rol-Co at XtremeSystems has managed to do is truly worth mentioning. He has taken a regular Core 2 Duo E6300 processor, week 26, and pushed it from its stock speed at 1.86GHz to impressive 3.74GHz. An overclock at 100% which is impressive, but the fact that he has used a regular air cooler, ThermalTake Big Typhoon, is what really tops it all off. And to make it even more impressive is that the cooler is not even mounted.

This sounds almost too good to be true but it's for real and the processor is even stable enough to complete a 32M Super Pi calculation. The motherboard used is a ASUS P5B Deluxe WiFi-AP and it is most likely sweating quite a lot as the bus is working at 534MHz (2136MHz quad-pumped).

The performance is hardly something to frown upon considering its costs about $185 and is cooled with a regular air cooler. High value is really an understatement.
