E4300 versus E6300

OK

E4300 or E6300 , I will be overclocking but noticed the FSB on the 6300 is higher than the 4300???

Thoughts anyone.

Also last footnote is the Lian Pi PC plus 7 any good?

The E4300 has a higher multi (9 instead of 7) so its much easier to clock without the need for a highend board or RAM.

and yes, the lian li case is VERY good.

I was choosing between the two as well, see below on a thread I posted in the CPU Section...

I ordered the E6300 in the end.

4300 for ease.

6300 for maximum overclock.

That's how I see it.

I was going to make my own topic up about this but then i saw this. I am going to be building a new pc soon and will be 100% overclocking.

What would be the best cpu 4300 or 6300?

I invested in an E6400 in the end, just in case they clock a little better. You should have no problems pushing a 6300 to its limits with that setup so I'd tend to go that way.
