| 793379 | 2009-07-22 11:59:00 | Marry a cheap mobo with an E5300 and you can get a real bargain. The E5300 (2.6GHz) has a very high multiplier (13) so can be ramped up markedly while still keeping the FSB low. I have been testing an E5300 with stock cooler on a P5QL-EM and can run it at 3GHz using the integrated graphics and at least 3.5GHz with a cheap X600 graphics card (the integrated video keeps resetting at over 3GHz). The P5QL-EM isn't that cheap, however, so finding a cheaper mobo would provide great bang for buck. |

| 793380 | 2009-07-22 12:01:00 | Why the E5300? E5200 Overclocks just as well but is a bit cheaper with on a 0.1Mhz difference. |

| 793381 | 2009-07-22 21:56:00 | I ordered that but Computer Lounge rang to say it was now off the list. So, E5300 was the next option. $15 more! Presumably, other suppliers can still get you a 5200. |

| 793382 | 2009-07-23 02:25:00 | I got my E5200 for $100. Its the same price as some of the AMD quads, but heck, once you clock this baby to 3ghz+ it pwns all the AMD low/mid range ones:p |

| 793383 | 2009-07-23 09:46:00 | Only 3 . . . ???? I had another go at mine last night but quickly saw the limitation of my mobo . I can't get above 3 . 5 because the RAM freq can't be decoupled from the fsb . My 800MHz RAM is running at 900 and coping OK but that must be the limit . Maybe need 1066 RAM??!! What mobo are you using blam? Looking at Pricespy, something funny with pricing of E5200 there . Several retailers upped the price over $50 on Jul 9th . Can't be an exchange rate thing . |

| 793384 | 2009-07-23 09:57:00 | A P5QL series one I *think* I said 3ghz+ showing that even at 3ghz its pwns the AMD models, not that mine is clocked to 3:p Mines 3.8ghz, but I'm using an ACF7Pro. CPU prices have been going up an down these few weeks, no idea why.. Blam |
