C2D E6750 overclock well?

[ExoMale]

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 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.

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?
