+1 for the E6300, although to get past 2.8 with it youre going to need PC8500 ram as its only got a x7 multiplier, if you havent already purchased tho id be considering an E5200 / E5300
For what its worth I have an E6300 running @ 2.9 with Geil 6400 RAM
Ive got a E6300 and PC2-6400C4 800MHz on a DS3 (like CatMangler) Do you get random resets of the BIOS?
The only thing that i have got overclocked is the System Memory Multiplier to x2.0, CPU multiplier on x7 and CPU host up to 400 this give me a Memory frequency of 800mhz and a clock of 2.8gig.
The thing that resets is the CPU host setting, it clicks back to 'automatic' somethimes. Could this be something to do with the RAM?
