Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 *budget overclocking for the masses*

[jimmyz]

i would have skimmed through the reveiw looking for the max o.c. anyway. i like how well the lower cost chips are doing these days.

haha... most 'these days' cheap CPUs are pretty poor. Not doing much more than 3.2GHz.

Nice OC, i would like that at the end of this year these cpu's are still clocking that well...

[kniwor]

Good OC,
and will people point me to where these are available

Ive seen them for sale in UK, where are u located?

[clon22]

Wow....
Hmm, if all of them do so well, will they
affect the sales of the higher speeds cpu??...
Is there any major architecture differences between the 6320,6420
n E6600??...

India, though I'm buying my stuff in the US, so really need to know where I can find them in US.

I think they're locate in Florida, US. I ordered one E6420 yesterday, let's see how it goes.

[kniwor]

wow... now I'm really confused I should order now, or wait till 22nd when the stuff shows on newegg for $189 maybe (hopefully).

I ordered one from ClubIT to play with-

My e6420 sucks

[theteamaqua]

again its a shoot and miss ... some 6600 can do 4GHz benchable .. max clock 4.1GHz ... some 6420 can do 3.7Ghz , too

it all depend on luck ... its the chip+board+PSU that can go that high

[walaustin]

good cpu, really interesting option for a cheap c2d setup

Yah, i'd argue that L2 steps dont overclock as well, overall, as B2 steps


as for the board, ive tested over half a dozen p5b dlx's and this commando, and all do over 500MHz fsb with ease. I would say it is more of a limiting factor on the CPU side.


I guess what I am trying to say is... if I am on a budget I'd rather get a B2 step over a L2 step CPU.

[G H Z]

its a work in progress heh

No I'm sorry, you must post all results in the first post!

These do look pretty good, I might just try one out.

Thnx irev

Over 500MHz-FSB with ease? Any tips?

[Lithotech]

just whatever my old cpu i had in the board was running


Im still testing, im having FSB problems though, trying to get higher than 545FSB

Oh Geeze, how many times have I done that unintentionally? LOL

It's always nice when it boots no problem, and goes farther than previous! Nice!
