Hey Everyone, I finallly pulled the trigger and bought a new comp:
Intel E2160
Ninja Scythe HSF
Gigabyte GA-P35-D3S
2 x 1gb of Patriot Signature 6400 DDR Ram
ATI X1950 Pro 256mb
Antec Sonata III /w 500W PSU
WD 500GB SATAII HD
LG GSA-H62L SATA Lightscribe DVDRW
2 x Cooler Master 120MM case fans
From what I've read, the E2160 is a great OC'er. I upgrade my comp so that I can play SC2; which some would say is a bit premature, since the SC2 requirements aren't even out yet. But based on the price of comp parts these days it seemed worth it to try out the E2160.
I was wondering what people have OC'd this cpu to? Any tips for OC? I haven't OC in awhile.
This review indicates that 3.2 - 3.4 is reasonable:
