Ok guys, this is my second post in here and i feel i should share this. I bought a E6300 with stock cooler. Bought a Ga-965P-S3. Bought OCZ2P8002GK ram. Also a 600 watt PSU. A 8800gts 320.
Ok... i followed the whole overclocking guide for the E6300 using this mobo and the results were good. I was able to hit 3.2 ghz stable with stock cooling. And what ever i did i could not get past it. So.... i decided to get really expensive ram. I ended up getting OCZ PC8500 which is rated at 1066 mhz. Just changing that memory I was able to bring this baby to 3.5 ghz with stock cooling. Amazing!!! I did flash the mobo bios to the most current version just in case but even tried the older ram and still could not get post 3.2. So everyone who buys this CPU with this motherboard, it is crucial to get ram able to hit 1000 ghz. other you will limit the potential of the processor speed. And keep in mind I'm using stock cooling so this rig is super good. All the benchmarks beat the E6700 extreme which cost around 600 dollars i believe. So this turned out money well spent. I have one more objective to to thou... I cannot keep the PC8500 memory cuz it cost me 300 dollars... and im not about to spend that much money on memory. Ive read all around about cheaper memory doing 1000mhz easily like Gail and patriots... which cost alot less. if anyone can suggest memory that hits 1000 mhz please let me know.. my budget is 200 dollars. hope this is good info. Also... the first memory which capped my cpu speed was a OCZ2P8002GK 4-5-4-15 PC6400 800mgz. Thgis is ok if you want to limit you cpu overclocking, but if you want more power get the higher mhz memory.
