I have a couple of questions reguarding this. I have never overclocked before, so I am looking for easy solutions as much as best.
What is realistically the max I could overclock an e6420 with the stock cooler?
If I put a different cooler in it has to be quiter than stock. Any recommendations? It has to be around the $40-50 dollar mark too, otherwise I'd spend the extra $150 and get a e6700.
I want to choose this chip, because it should save me a bunch on a new system cost. (That and my favorite computer store, Memory Express, seems to be selling it early.) I'd be happy it I can get it up to 2.66.
Also, I plan on putting it all in a Antec Solo. Should I buy a second fan for the case (comes with 1 120mm)?
Thanks.
