yala agree..now i'm converting from AMD to INTEL, just waiting the proc to arrive, mobo msi p45 neo2-fr already in my hand, but seeing that mobo w/o proc is like *i wanna carzy* -___-"
hope can be in ranking too haha~

I think most E0 will have an easier time to surpass 4GHz compared to C0.

My E8500 C0 will do 3.8GHz on stock Vcore stable but wouldnt even bother to post when I overclock to 4GHz. Set the Vcore to +5% then +10% and lastly to +15%, but all also cant boot. Nvm la... maybe thats the result of using cheap board (Biostar G31-M7 TE) and cheapo HSF (Cooler Master old fashion P4 cooler).

finally get 3.5ghz 10 loops pass on IBT after tuning on the gtl ref
dfi x48 lt is really tricky for quad overclocking
anyone using these board pls share me the gtl ref for quad at 450fsb and higher, thx alot

walao your rig is really damn heavy

Hello everybody.... its been a while since i build my pc, it was few years back.. now i want to build an intel system... i am on a tide budget n i was wondering e7300 is a good oc cpu? if it is not, please advise which cpu should i go to? thanks....

how much are u willing to spend on a processor will affect the choices.

i suggest E8400 bcoz of it overclockability and the performance.

get oem processor lor, cheaper

yup... get OEM... usually its cheaper....

look for AllnGap... he sells lots of OEM proc

hi, thanks for a fast reply hehe, i think E8400 is Rm610 right? it is a bit expensive... but if for RM6xx range, would it be better to get Q8200? is it OC E8400 is better than quad core cpu? advice please

E5200 also good oc ability processor plus it cheap..but OEM is the best if you aiming good processor with cheap price
