    What is a realistic overclock at stock voltage to expect for E6300?

    After testing my e6300 @ stock speeds for a day, I skipped all intermediate steps and went straight to 2.8 ghz w/ stock cooling and voltage. Stressed it for 10 hours with ORTHOS. Its getting a little hot at this point. Coretemp says its idles at about 58C and starts edging into the 70s with a...

    E6300 - $169, E6400 - $215, AMD S939 3800 - $90, X2-3800 - $132, free shipping! (Retail)

    Overclocking = Lagging/Choppiness in games???

    I had issues like this in the past, I attributed it to a weak powersupply, but it could be throttling too I suppose.
