I saw newegg is selling a 3000+ venice e6 for ~100. Is this worth an upgrade?

I heard the Venice cpus overclock w/ ease. Usually i just use the my CPU for coding + gaming. Sometimes i worry myself w/ the cpu temps since i run it on a small form factor case.

I can only get my 3200+ at 2150mhz at best while having to worry about the cpu heat if i'm gaming for 1 or more hours

No, that's a downgrade option... just keep your clawhammer instead and upgrade your CPU fan w/ thishttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835103165
with this cooler, OCieng is not a problem.
