Overclocking Wolfdale E7300

Overclocking Intel Wolfdale processor isn't a fresh news, since it is very popular cheaper alternative overclocking chip for hitting great Cost to Performance ratio.

Previously i am lightly OC at only 3.2 GHz, but due to recently Gerry has borrow my RAM for his processor OC testing that hitting 4 GHz, so i plan to find a effective daily OC rate.

Figure 1: 3.8 Ghz overclocking.

First stable OC setting, lowered multiplier from 10.0 to 9.5 for 400MHz 3.8Ghz clock with 1600MHz FSB seems like is a good power output but the core voltage has to running at 1.4v - the border of lifespan degradation. It is not preferable for daily usage due to high vcore and core temp range, better avoid for changing of weather.


Figure 2: 3.64 GHz overclocking.

Second stable OC setting for tonight, one step lower of multiplier to 9.0 for slightly increase bus speed to 405MHz, lower core temp and vcore. This setting is nice for not-too-high vcore 1.33 v and the core temp remain under 65°C under full load.

Next will do temperature testing on afternoon time and further bus speed.

うみねこのなく頃に


Umineko no Naku Koro ni (うみねこのなく頃に, literally When Seagulls Cry)[Ref: wikipedia] is a Japanese murder mystery dōjin soft sound novel series produced by 07th Expansion. Umineko is the third title in this "When They Cry" murder misery series. The first and second title are Higurashi no Naku Koro ni(ひぐらしのなく頃に) and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai(ひぐらしのなく頃に解), and the 4th title is Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru (うみねこのなく頃に散).

I din't play the game series but i did watch the anime of Higurashi series and fortunately now this Umineko is on air. If you never watch the anime or play the game of this series, i would like strongly recommend this to you if you like Mysterious story but it has certain level of violence.
