With the EVGA 750i mobo and E6300 how far do you think I can push this CPU i have been running at 2.8 for a year now I have a Arctic freezer cooler and 3gb of XMS DDR2 800.
I know the E8400 is pretty cheap now but I think I can get my E6300 to perform just as good as the E8400 at stock speeds. What do you think?

I've hit 3.3GHz..my ram being the limiting factor. I have a TRUE, and the rest of my specs are below. NOTE: I'm not using a nVidia chipset. My P35 has gotten me up to 470FSB (can go farther if i take out some of my budget ram :) ) btw, I also keep mine @2.8 for 24/7 usage. That way I can keep it @ a nice 1.25 vcore.

Whats wrong with 1.325v core? That is the stock vcore of a e6300. I guess I just dont believe in under-volting a processor .
