Hello everyone,

I have two processors at the moment. An intel core 2 duo e6600 and an e8300.
My mobo (ASrock gm41 vs3 2.0 with 2x 2gb ddr3 1333mhz will allow me to overclock the e6600 to 3,06ghz without messing with the voltages (which i want to keep it that way) and the e8300 overclocked to 2.9ghz. temperatures of the e6600 are between 24 celsius and 33 celsius at heavy gaming. E8300 is 37 celsius between 44 celsius.

The e8300 will allow me to use the full 1333mhz ram while the e6600 downgrades it to 1066.

Also i have a geforce gt630 msi 2gb version.

Which processor should i keep and why?
I only use this pc for gaming and nothing else. Gta 4 is the most demanding game i have and all my other games are from 2006 to 2010. Im not planning on buying new games since i mainly game on consoles and i have windows xp 32bit.

So basically i just need to choose between a processor that generates more heat and one that was introduced about 2 years later. There is no noticeable performance between the RAM and the 160 extra mhz doesn't matter either? And also shouldnt the e8300 generate less heat with it's 45nm

Thanks for all the answers. I appreciate it. Though it didn't make my decision easier on what to keep since they are both almost identical for my use. I probably stick to the e8300 since it has 430 mhz more on stock settings. Although the e6600 runs about 20 degrees celsius cooler which allows me to use the silent fan setting.

My cooler is a cooler master hyper tx3 evo by the way.
