Whats best for overclocking - E4400, E6300, or E6320??

[MR.B]

Basically what the title says... which of those CPU's would be best for overclocking? I'd like to get atleast 3.2GHz, it will be with a EVGA 680i board, which can get a E6600 to 3.6 stable. I'll get a E4400 if it would probably get to 3.2?
And whats the difference between the E6300 and E6320 anyway?

TBH there's a good chance all of those CPU's will do 3.2ghz....

I'd say your best bet is a e6320 though...the difference is that it has twice the cache (2x2mb) of the e6300....

Cheers, i ordered a E6320.
But whats the difference between the E6320 and E6300? Both seem to have same clock speed, FSB, Cache etc...

I'm sure the 6300 had a smaller cache then the 6320. Reason being is because i rememeber that being the only downside in figures between buying the 6600 over the 6300 when they first became available (clocks aside).

Ah yes the E6300 does have less cache, 2MB. It's just a few places are wrongly listing it with 4MB cache.

let us know how it clocks.
