You'd probably get more by advertising it as an "overclocked to 3.2GHz stable" chip. :)

i'd pay more money for a chip knowing that it is stable at a good speed than something thats been running at stock and have to take the risk of getting it up there myself.

Me too. There really isn't any viable reason, in your situation, that should deter you from overclocking that processor. Has anybody ever killed one of these from overclocking it too high for a long period of time?

Anyway, i'm interested in these C4Ds you speak of. :p
 
Yes, I have that exact setup, at 1.8 the 6300 really holds up the GTX.

Mine is @ 3.4ghz, air cooled with a tuniq, totally stable and seems a good match for the card. It destroys everything I play at 1680x1050, everything maxxed. And its cool and not stressing the chip anymore than stock as far as I can tell (one crash in 6 months!)
 
it depends on the resolution and the game


BF2 at 2560x 1600 means that my C2D at 1.8GHZ is no faster than at 3GHZ. i keep it at 3GHZ because i run a distributed computing project on the background when i idle like now. but if i didn’t do that i would not overclock and save me the energy/money
