E4300 vcore

Post by dkarko »

Hi, i have a question.
Whats the normal vcore for E4300? I'm confused because on my motherboard (p5b-vm) before i update the bios it was reading 1,325v
now its reading 1,27 (always under full load).
What troubles me is that if i manually set the voltage to say 1,315 (besides the cpu can even overclock undervolted much lower, thats what i have read at least) i get 1,25 reading.
Mobo in bios, speedfan, pc probe all read the same!
Anyone have a clue?!?

Thank you

First off is every board has a certain amount of vdroop................. :shock:

Next is if you have all of Intels power saving features turned on or off in your bios.

C1E Enhance Halt State

Thanks, well in the previous bios though it appeared 1,325.
The cpu is in constant load (crunching) and nowhere near the throttling point (50c max), neither i have set it to a lower C state..

I guess i could try turning them all off and see what happens then.

p.s. i just tried to "burn" the cpu with 100% TAT, well hmm it dropped even lower to 1,22 :shock: :shock:

Code: Select all

I tried disabling everything.. same thing, no change to vcore and it dropped again to 1,22 with TAT.

Normal Vcore for the E4300 is 1.325V.

Seems some chips have voltage of 1,28 by default!!
I've noticed on a manual voltage override mod guide that there are three c2d in terms of voltage!
1.325 , 1,28 and 1,35

Hey I was just wondering, I have an Intel Core2 Duo Processor E4300 with 1.8GHz, and I wanted to know wether that was 1.8GHz total, or 1.8GHz in each processor. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks

Hi, It´s 1,8Ghz per core! Thus, 2x1,8Ghz :)

A dual-core processor has two cores that share cache... Since each core shares the cache they must operate at the same speed, so in an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E4300 it's all the same. It's a processor that has a pair of cores operating at 1.8GHz... you can't add them together to get something crazy fast (although people do it on ebay and it's fraud)
