Ok ive just bought this cpu after reading tomshardware "best gaming cpus 2009" section, and i cant find any overclocking reveiws or guides about this type of chip , if you got a overclocking / benchmark review for this chip id like to view it.
Any back to what im seeking here on tomshardware forums,
I heard wolfdale chips are very effient and good overclockers, i have air cooling but i got a coolermaster V10 with a coolermaster haf932 case and coolermaster 1250W psu with standing the pressure of my 3x 8800GTX's , now i am looking to find out what people have managed to get this chip to.
Remember this ant the old crappy duo version with 2.6ghz or the older version with 1.86ghz , this is the PENTIUM DUAL-CORE E6300 with 1066 fsb
i no my motherboard can go up to 1600fsb and even higher as it is a 780I asus deluxe and in cpu listing surported cpu's it shows the QX series with one labled @ 1600fsb , so i know i can go high and have 1066Mhz kingston memory.
and figures of what you guys managed please show, as i dont want to go over the top on this cpu , i just want that extra buck for cash performance , to enhance my windows 7 envirorment and gaming purposes, and no i dont want a i7 , not yet anyways :]
