| That's been my thoughts until recently. I just built a system using a |
| 21 |
| Q9300 (45nm quad core) and decided to give OC a try. Bumped the clock |
| 22 |
| from 333MHz to 400MHz causing the CPU freq to increase from 2.5MHz to |
| 23 |
| 3.0MHz. DDR2-800 memory not OC'ed. Core temps under 4 core 100% load |
| 24 |
| using burnP5 only increased from 71C to 73C. This was with stock Intel |
| 25 |
| heat sink/fan/thermal paste (just the way Intel wants it). I just |
| 26 |
| ordered a XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 to lower these. |
| 27 |
| |
| 28 |
| IMO, it looks like the Intel 45nm processors have some easy OC headroom. |
| 29 |
| |

| YMMV. |

This may be untrue, but from what I've see that's the way it goes |
| 35 |
w/OC'ing; Intels have room to be overclocked and AMDs don't. The OP |
| 36 |
overclocked an AMD processor which I've always heard is a bad idea. |
| 37 |
Just my $0.02 |
