Overclocking the Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Processor

Super Pi 1.5 and ScienceMark 2.0

Super Pi Mod Version 1.5 XS:

Super Pi calculates the number Pi in this raw number crunching benchmark. The benchmark is fairly diverse and allows the user to change the number of digits of Pi that can be calculated. In this benchmark we ran Super Pi to 1 million places, 4 million places, and 32 million places.

Probably some of the most jaw-dropping results that we saw with the Core 2 Duo benchmarks happened to be in the Super PI tests. As you know, one of the big challenges between enthusiasts is to get the lowest SuperPi times possible. Many have used extreme means (read: cooling, like water, Dry Ice and Phase Change) to do this. As you can see in the results, the Core 2 Duo processor does very well in Super Pi and by overclocking the processor we cut our time down by nearly 50%!

ScienceMark 2.0 Beta:

Science Mark 2.0 is an attempt to put the truth behind benchmarking. In an attempt to model real world demands and performance, ScienceMark 2.0 is a suite of high-performance benchmarks that realistically stress system performance without architectural bias.
