Best P!!! for o'clocking? recommendations needed...

[Massa2]

Hi there,

Given the forthcoming Intel price cuts which begin in earnest on or around 1/28, I'm considering trading in my C2 566@909 for a full fledged P3 and was wondering which one you guys have had the most success with overclocking.

Thanks for your input

At the moment it's probably the cC0 stepping 700E. Ask compuwiz1 or bonkers325 if you want pre-tested CPUs.

It is the PIII 700E. There are exceptions, though. I have a Slot1 750 cB0 that I just got yesterday and it's running at 1035.
I've tried some 800's and they were not good at all, even cC0.

compuwiz1: how far are the 700Es going on average at the moment? I might be looking to get one soon.

A good batch of cC0 are 980-1GHz.

An exceptional batch are 1050-1100.
