in all seriousness, id return that chip under dsr and get the 2500K. It will then be fully unlocked, and will last you much longer.
if it means waiting 2 more weeks for the build to be complete, then so be it imo. No point rushing it and making compromises when you dont really need to.

Return the crap chip, wait and get a 2500k. Your talking about how your gonna SSD Cachce, but you cant afford a 2500k?
Just build slowly if you cant afford it otherwise your just gonna end up with another crap rig.

sorry you can overclock it, but you need to over clock the BCLK with can result in issues and also data corruption am i right? and power efficient chips and generally not that good anyway.
2310 is efficiently a lower clock 2500 that has lower power consumption, overall i may be able to get 3.5ghz with the locked overclocking, and it will last me exactly the same time as a 2500k, as overclocking and 600mhz really is not much!
ssd cach is relatively cheep, £75 gets me a ocz vertex 3 64gb i think or there abouts, i can now afford a 2500k and this is only a future situation, as i do not want to spend all my money on a build at once, i prefer to buy clothes and other luxury's rather than just computers.

Once again you ignore advice and waste money on a chip you think you can overclock.
"return the crap chip"
tbh there's not much difference between the chips, and i will not see much performance changes
i dont think i can clock it much
stop treating me like i have no knowledge, I am building fixing or selling a computer now on the average of every other day.
I can over-clock the chip via the fsb, yet im probably not going to.
That is because my own phenom is a terrible and overall faulty chip, due to buying it on b grade and no realising the old used most of over-volted it something stupid.
Do not think im ignore advice, i was advised to go intel sandybridge, and i have,
you want to know how much i paid for my i5 2310 that was on offer?
£85
Knowingly that i would not get all that much performance for the extra £90, the £90 that i didnt have
Generally to counter act the "don't rush the build" i was rushed by people on here saying how my thread was so disappointing.ect when my first purchase fell through.

then why are you creating an "enthusiast" build at all? you could get an old core2duo, 4gb of ram + basic gpu machine all fine and itd take care of web browsing, documents and the occasional game.
The point is that the very platform that takes sandybridge costs a lot of money, so you may as well shell out the extra notes and get a processor worth its salt.
Sorry if it sounds harsh, but it's meant as genuine advice. i always used to compromise and get the worse option becuase i "wanted it now" and i always regretted it and ended up selling/changing later on. Ignore people saying hurry up, just take your time, and do it right.
Its your build after all.
Oh come on, for the price of £85 im not missing much, especaily as i dont want to oc as my system is brikced and it puts more stress on everything!

Why don't you cancel the order? Just send them a webnote?
pay'd with paypal, so they need my mums card details to refund us for an order reason
im writing my mum a nice not so hopefully when she gets back from b&q she will cancel it while im out
and i will then order sat evening probably after 4pm so it wont get to me until Tuesday, and that's if i pay for next day shipping.
