which c2d's have 9x multipliers ?

[eracer2006]

im thinking of getting another dual core instead of quad core, because I dont think i really need quad, and if i get a 9x multiplier i can run 9x399 instead of my current 7x399, with no stability problems.

4x9 = 36, 4x7 = 28, so 800mhz more, and 2mb more cache!

So shall i just wait till september and pick up a second hand e6600 for £100 ish, or is anything cheaper with 4mbit of cache and 9x multiplier that overclocks well ?

I have a TT120 but i want passive watercooling eventually.

the e4300 and e2160 both have 9x multiplier, of course the e4400 has a whopping 10X multiplier

An e2180 is coming out with 10x as well

oh man, why didn't I know about that? It's gonna be hard telling the wife I need a new CPU only 1 month after buying a new one lol

 

[eracer2006]

oo 3999mhz ?

Flog the old one, it will be a £20 upgrade.

They produce that little heat, it is a distinct possibility

best i'll be able to do with this motherboard is 3050Mhz, but i'll take it

My e6600 won't run @ 400x9. No gaurantees!

so does this mean the upcoming 4600 will have a 12x multiplier.

Not worth it tbh, you have a very decent clock (your sig says 3.2Ghz 480FSB?) and as said, not every E6600 can do 3.6Ghz like you anticipated. You're better off wait for the price cut and get a quad Q6600 instead.

 

[eracer2006]

what multiplier is a q6600 ?

 

[Azza]

E6850 will have 9x
