Overclocking the E6300

Overclocking the E6300 with software in Windows.

If you have a motherboard that you bought separately it may come with software for overclocking in Windows. But this mainly is available with higher end boards with the; P45 for 775(Core2Duo), X48(i5), X58(i7) chipsets.

Also the boards may be tagged as Premium or Overclocking or Enthusiast boards and cost from anywhere to €/$/£ 200 - 500. For these boards try ASUS AISuite, Gigabytes Easy Tune5, or MSI Afterburner.

All this software can be gotten from the manufacturers website. But be aware if your motherboard does not support this software then do not bother. I've tried, it will only work with boards it's designed for. But really the best option is in the BIOS as it is better because if it stalls in Windows you may damage your PC.

And of course there's the OEM boards. The ones that come in your pc from the manufacturer. These tend to be basic mid range boards, might have overclocking. download 'CPU-Z' and click the 'Mainboard' tab to check what motherboard you have then you can check if your board will work for OC'ing.

Finally, even though overclocking will increase performance it lowers the CPU lifespan. Most can work for 10 years, overclocking will cut this down to 4 or 5 years on a mild overclock (around 1 Ghz) and 2-3 on a big overclock (above 1.5Ghz more than it should). So be aware of that. Also make sure your Motherboards chipset has a good enough cooling solution. Heatpipes and a large heatsink are best. Such as on the ASUS P5Q Deluxe.
