im1992 and theonejrs,

Could you guys please edit your quotes and just include the last quote from the sender, this is ludicrous, and stupid, and you are taking tooooooooo much bandwidth, plus I hate reading all that crap time after time.

I sincerely doubt that Intel even bothered to look at a Pentium D CPU other than to see if it worked or not! All they told me was that it was evaluated and was being replaced, and gave me all the Info for the new one! I wouldn't exactly be holding my breath on that one if it was a $1000 and up chip! LOL!! I would imagine that they would look much closer at those!

They can't tell if it's been overclocked, but they can sure tell if the voltage has been run higher than specs, but I doubt that they would bother for all but the most expensive ones!

BTW! Just so you know and I don't have to kick myself later for not telling you, the E5200's maximum voltage is 1.3625v. My rule of thumb there is don't exceed 1.35v, just to be safe! Note that Intel is really splitting hairs here at 4 decimal places for the Max volts. There has to be a reason that every person I know thats overvolted a Wolfdale or it's Xeon counterpart, has wound up having to RMA it! Some sooner and some later! With the worsening economy, companies will be looking for more ways to save money, and I'm sure the RMA criteria will be raised!

Russ
the problem with the e6300 is that even at stock speed, sometimes the computer works and other times, nothing, no boot, no post.
so when intel tests it and it is working, will they deny my rma?
and i know for a fact that it IS the cpu cause i tested the computer with my uncle's e6700 and the computer booted perfectly, everytime.

When you call or email for the RMA, just make it clear what it's doing. There won't be any problem unless you hit it with a hammer! LOL!!

EDIT IMPORTANT:

Do not mention overclocking and tell them you are using the stock cooler! They do try and bust your balls for not using theirs. I finally told the guy busting my chops for using a Freezer 7 Pro that it wasn't even a question which cooler is better, and there is nothing in the warranty that says that you have to use their cooler! He shut up pretty quick! LOL!!

Russ

the stock cooler that came with my e6300 still has the tim from intel (i have never even installed it) so should i install it so that the tim looks like it is used? how should i make the fan look dusty? and when i send the cpu back to them, should i clean the tim off the cpu or should i leave the mess on there?

I just cleaned mine off with alcohol and sent it back!

so you hadnt used the stock cooler either and you just took off the stock tim and sent it back?
or were you using the stock heatsink and you cleaned everything and sent it back?

It was never out of the box. I took it out and cleaned the factory goop off of it, and packed it with the CPU in it's original box! The one that I'm using now, was from the original E6750, so I now have a new one I can use to set up an Intel if I have to wait a day or two extra, to get my cooler. Stock machines anyway, so heat's not much of an issue at stock clocks! As near as I can see, both Intel's and AMD's dual cores run much cooler these days than they did just a couple of years ago.

BTW, before I forget, I have a need for a stock Phenom II 940 HeatSink!

To All,

My apologies to all, for all the quotes, it just sort of slipped away from us I guess. Won't happen again! Sorry!

The E5200 should theoretically make 3.6 if not higher. They're fabulous CPUs, but don't get your hopes up too much.

Agreed on the quotes.

To be honest, I can clearly see how Russ' D940 got fried. Those chips have a large power draw anyway, and overclocked it'd be even worse, even with only a small voltage increase. For a basic motherboard with weak Vregs, that's too much. I saw what happened to my EP31-DS3L when a fried CPU that was shorting the socket was put in it. Had I not spotted what happened and left it there, all that would be left of the board would be some smouldering goo!

Once I receive a reply from Intel, I will go with the RMA.
I will update you guys on what I get back.

Okay so I didn't even have to RMA to find out what I will get back.
I just called them today and the guy said that they have PLENTY of E6300s in their RMA warehouse. So, I have decided not to RMA.

Back to overclocking, as this IS the overclocking forum...
What voltage should it take for my E6300 to reach 3.6GHz?
Is that speed even possible on such a low end C2D?

You could possibly make that, but I expect it would probably take at least 1.5V, which is my recommended absolute max for a 65nm CPU.

is that before vdroop or after?
and is that 24/7 safe?

Ideally before, but LLC shouldn't cause too much harm. It's 24/7 safe, but not for any longer than around 12-18 months.

so the cpu would die after 12 - 18 months?

Not necessarily, but there's a reasonable chance it will. 1.45V is much safer. That's what I used for my E4300 to reach 3.2Ghz (it wouldn't go much further though) and that still runs to this day at the age of 27 months (It was overclocked to 1.45V for about 18 of those months)

Agreed, 1.45v is plenty safe. Thats what I've got my e6750 at and it's been there since october 07.

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=539709

with the x48, i got the e6300 up to 3.4ghz
havent played with the quad yet...

how do u do that thingy where you can post a cpuz validation and it shows up as a smaller pic in the forum?

I think you mean Thumbnail?
Imageshack gives you that option.
