Offered E6750

[Sean_UK]

My youngest brothers been offered 2nd hand E6750 for £60 on a 'mates rates' basis He's current pc is socket 939 based so an upgrade is long overdue. I was about to build him new pc using either E4500 or E2200, inc decent motherboard and some cheap PC6400 memory; as I figured the 11x multi on both those cpu's would allow plenty of headroom over clocking wise (+ his current Tuniq cooler).

Might sound silly to even ask opinions on this, but I know nothing about over clocking E6750 (good oc, bad, all GO revision?), however have plenty of experience with the other two cpu's. Total cost for either upgrade work’s out about the same inc the additional parts.

clocks very will with the MSI Neo2 FR

Yes it's decent board, ive used it within pc builds before and should suit the cpu well, if my brother decides to purchase.

Built my wee bro's system tonight; E6750 had absolutely no trouble reaching 3.6GHz on air with very small v.core increase. Brothers well chuffed, and so he should be when you take into account potential £'s to be made back on old parts.
