e6300 and 8800 gtx

to prolong life and im selling it in a few months for a quad core, so ill get more money for this if its been run at lower speeds all its life.

but out of interest how many ghz per core on a c2d or c4d to stop it limiting the gtx ?
 
erm, if your selling it in few months leave it clocked...

you wont get anything extra for it :P

Non of the above makes any sense (apart from the QC bit if you realy need 4 cores).
How would anybody know its been clocked?
 
If you sell it, overclocking won't make a difference, if and by the time overclocking WOULD kill your chip, you would have probably upgraded anyway.

At the LEAST put 2.6GHZ or something in to it man.

Sorry but that is just complete nonsense.

Who have you been listening to?

You are clearly misinformed..
 
how so ? it stands on basic physics that something will be more reliable if run at lower thermal temperatures than higher thermal temperatures. therefore, when i come to sell my chip and say its been clocked to 3ghz for 2 days then had a relaxed life for the rest of the year, the consumer will be more likely to buy it than a chip thats been thrashed. just like cars. and turbochargers, and pretty much anything.

It doesn't

a 6300 is just a speed binned 6700 and will result in no damage running at higher clocks with stock vcore.

My 6400 runs at 3.8ghz and probably runs cooler than a 3ghz 6400 on air.

I suggest reading up about speed binning etc... before posting invalid data.
 
Easyrider's right here. If you run it too fast it'll just crash and/or give errors.

Plus who the hell can tell what a chip's been overclocked to when they buy it? You'd probably get more by advertising it as an "overclocked to 3.2GHz stable" chip. :)
 
I have run my cpu's at stock since purchase.....




...and if you believe that you'll believe anything :p
