have an e6700

[Dutchmaster420]

i have 4gb of good crucial ballistix pc6400 mem

and an e6700 with stock heatsink

i havent played around with ocing at all yet, but say i just wanted to oc to about 3ghz or so would that Really increase performance so that i would notice it doing everyday tasks such as internet, apps and so on

im guessing no?prob just incrase benchmarks and whatnot

You might notice some extra snap to your everyday apps, but I'd personally just count my blessings of being a proud owner of an e6700 and leave it stock unless you really need the extra power for something.

i doubt you'd notice anything on everyday apps. i'd actually expect more results due to the placebo affect than any actual increase in tasks like those. if that's all you do...man if that's all you do why did you buy an e6700 and 4 gigs of ram? but if you do other more cpu-intensive stuff like encoding or some kind of editing or gaming or something, then an overclock would probably give some results.

i mean i do a lot of dvd reauthoring a editing and things like that but i dont really game


yea i guess ill just leave it stock

You'd definitely not notice the difference in everyday apps and even in very CPU dependent tasks it will be quite hard to notice it.

oc to 3.5


buy new heatsink!
