Hey. i have an E2180 processor and a ms 7507 n1996 msi motherboard. I strongly believe this system is bottlenecking my gpu. its a NVIDIA gt 9600 XXX version. I want to over clock my processor for extreme gaming but isn’t shore what my limits are. I have stock cooling for my CPU. So I added 2 12" fans to the equation. What will my limits be for over clocking my processor with the fans if they will even have any affect.? I read an article that sad it is possible to over clock the E2180 to 3.3ghz per core. If this wont do it for me please tell my what I need to bay to get a system that runs fully without something bottlenecking the other.

Hey man. It’s not my problem you don’t like them, but I do. It’s also my money. So could you just answer my question?

Listen guys. I don’t want any other cards or something like that. I don’t mind if I waste my money and my electricity. It also doesn’t matter if it is a waste. This is what I want so ill get it. If you want some thing else that’s your problem. It’s your taste and your pc. I want this specific system because I like it. I don’t mind if it isn’t the best system or the cheapest, but then again, it’s my money. So let me "waste" it if I want to. Or give me a suggestion on some thing better.

Will this be a good build to overclock 2500k to 5.0GHz?

I'm the one that told him that a Silver Arrow will get to 5Ghz, so I'll take the blame...
