I know this is a really old processor, but i sold my q6600 build yesterday(with 8600 gt and antec 380w) as i needed the money and i ended up taking a gamble on another lga775 build that was part working for a fiver :rolleyes: and swapped out psu for my vs350 and bam its working, havent tried everything out yet, but booted into bios.

the board is a Foxconn 45cmx/45gmx so it has sata and picx16, but only 4gb ddr2 max and while it states 1066fsb and not quad i dont really want to buy another and rather interested in making this an overclocking build for fun and testing and if anyone may have read, i can get the said dual for £3.

the cpu that came in computer is a e2180, so just bit better than the 2140 i have spare lol so will test that, but i want a lowish power cpu for a decent gpu fort he psu.
 
45cmx should support 1333fsb fine (listed as an OC setting on the spec sheet), and the cpu support list includes E6750, so you should be fine

I wouldn't have thought the E6750 would clock that well though as it is already a high fsb chip (and was an earlier core 2), although the 4MB Cache will make it a much better option than either the 2140 or 2180 you have.

According to the support list it would also take a E5xxx or E7xxx, so something like an E5200 would be my choice (~£2.50 on ebay), as they have a low fsb (800), which changing from e.g. 800 to 1066, would give you 3.3 Ghz, and can probably be done with little or no voltage adjustment.
 
thanks for replies.

is the 5200 better just because it will overclock better due to the lower fsb or is there more to it than that?

im going to have to get a new cooler anyways as i sold my new with computer(wish i hadnt meh) as im running the replacement on stock, so i dont know how well it will hold up to overclocks.
 
the pentium dual core E5xxx are really what you want, they are faster then 65nm c2d and overclock really well, they have a higher multiplier as well so you can push them further on a lower end board.

i thought the c2d were the better sort because i probably couldve got a better pentium dual than the e2140 instead of going quad even if that was a one off lol.


it should say if its a pentium D or 2duo on the cpu shouldnt it?




ps if my typing is crap then that is me, but the batteries in my wireless board and mouse are slowly dying and i dont have spare lol

aha okay then cheer, good information to know.

where does the 7 series fall in to it then? wouldnt that be better than both?
 
Can't remember if it was the E8400 or E8600 that were overclock kings for quite awhile but both were solid overclockers on the right board.

Pretty much all the Core 2 65nm and 45nm clocked really well the limitation was usually the motherboard i.e. some older/budget boards struggle with overclocking 45nm especially quads and some struggle with the current requirements for 65nm at high clocks - the 1333FSB on the E6750 as mentioned will put more demands on the motherboard as well.

I only just ditched a laptop that was based on a chip that was basically an E8300 and it handled most stuff really well up until the laptop topped itself.

I had both CPU's in an EVGA nforce 650i Ultra motherboard but never tried to overclock either. I still have the motherboard, only recently retired the system.
 
nForce boards were terrrrrrible for overclocking in the main - I had a Q9550 that at the same voltage was stable past 4.5GHz on a P45 board and only 4GHz (and even then only 99% stable) on an EVGA 750i F.T.W board.

I did have a Gigabyte n650SLI-DS4L though that was really good at overclocking however (aslong as you figured out the FSB holes) - it also managed RAM bandwidth a clean 20% faster than anything else. Might have to dig it out see if its still working as I'm pretty sure it would set a DDR2 WR with ease - had it up over 12GB/s in AIDA without breaking a sweat.

EDIT: Oh still have a screenshot of it running at fairly conservative settings http://www.aten-hosted.com/images/650i2.jpg shame I don't have the 3.8+GHz runs.

Ive got a e5320 that runs 24/7 @ 3.8 on a gigabyte ga-p35c-ds3r with a £20 cooler, mind you it did need 1.5volts.
Best over clocking chip ive ever had.
