PS Overclock, it's easy. Don't be a n00b :D
 
I will not be overclocking
I said that when I got my Conroe, now I'm sitting at 3GHz. With such a nice setup and a core 2 you will be a fool not to, it only takes a quick nudge of the FSB - I hadn't overclocked before this but got a little assistance from WJA now I won't look back.

Melbourne's spec is good :)

Cheers Dude.

I know Mishima has had a lot of success with that case, and at that price you can't go far wrong.

A friend of mine had a 4300 up to 3.7GHz, admittedly with a great deal of lapping...
 
Thats a major overclock on a E4300!! Very good. thats impressive.

Yeah I have that case at the moment, its great for the price. I think the best feature is the noise, and airflow when I moved to this case the temperatures dropped quite dramatically and this is a budget case! The build quality isn't fantastic but like I say its a budget case and it suits the needs. Looks very nice too, I have some pics if you want to see blueplayer, just say and I can post.
 
Total bang for buck that, bet he is well happy with the results. How hot is the chip under that? Mines doing well, only a few more degrees hotter than it was at stock.
 
It was very hot at 3.7, mainly because there was so many volts going though it. I think at 3.4 it is well under 60 degrees full load, even with low speed on the fans.
