The e6300 is cooled by the kick a$$ Zalman CNPS 9500 (and AS5) I already owned.
I've seen some reports of the e6300 overclocking 50%-90% on air. Like the rest of you, I wouldn't mind using some of those 'free' MHz. I haven't overclocked anything in a couple years and, well, the methods just seem a bit different than they were then. Long-time sysadmins, like myself, know from experience that we aren't afraid to try new things as long as they don't affect system stability. This goes for our home, gaming PCs which is what we are talking about here.
This ASUS board comes with AI NOS which 'seems' like a nifty program to make real-time changes from the OS. I set AI NOS to 'auto' during the initial build and it has run that way for nearly a week without any hardware problems whatsoever. Using the ASUS PC Probe II, I've seen the core voltage fluctuate by as much as .1+ on the fly.
Now that I know the gear is stable I'd like to 'mildly' (re: safely) overclock. Does the AI NOS have profiles in it that I can use to auto-overclock when I launch a specific game?
Any experience and suggestions you might have will be appreciated.
