I just got one of the above at a stupidly low price and would like to know what you guys have managed to squeeze out of them?

If I can get a good clock from it, I may sell my E6320 and put it towards an E7200 and then let the missus have the E2140. :)

Has the low cache made a significant difference in gaming at high res i.e 1680x1050?
 
They all pretty much do 3Ghz, the cache probably offer about 5%-10% less performance in certain games compared to a 4Mb version at the same speed.
 
3Ghz would be fine for me as I have seen no increase in performance with gaming on my E6320 on games from 2.6Ghz onwards tbh.

I was just a little unsure about the cache really. I dont do any video encoding at the moment and apart from surfing the net, gaming is the only thing I do on my pc.

To get 3Ghz, have you had to have the vcore above 1.35v?
 
I can't remember tbh. I think it was a 1.325v VID chip, so it was probably 1.35v or thereabouts in BIOS to get 3ghz.

It took 1.47v under load in Windows to get 3.45ghz, so probably 1.525v or so in BIOS.

And the cache doesn't really have all that much effect. Maybe 10% lower FPS in games.

They vary widly. Some struggle to do 3.2gh, whilst I had mine at 3.45ghz.

There aren't many people getting 100% clocks from these chips, i managed 3.3ghz stable with mine, but that was under water with 1.55v (real)

I've had 2 that didn't want to do 3ghz, 3.3ghz was my best, and all the rest topped out just above 3ghz (8 in total)
