Picking the right chip P4 1.6Ghz or 1.8Ghz

[PhoenixOfWater]

I see that there are a lot of people useing the P4 1.6....is the 1.6 better then the 1.8 or just cheper?.. oh and If somebody was looking for a 1.6 to overclock, what would they look for (like what ver of the chip and the date, etc)?

Please learn to use the "search" function. This same question was asked here a few days ago (again).

The 1.6A is acknowledged as the best buy/performance O/C'er. It has also been discontinued by Intel (so hurry if you want one).

oh thank you and i am really sorry, i'm new this thing...do you know what is the best Ver of the chip to O/C?

I didn't intend to be harsh . . . the sooner you learn to use "search" the more you will learn quickly - a vast library is open to you.

The 1.6A - latest version. According to Intel employees and respected members of the forums, they are about all the same (whether assembled in Malaysia or Costa Rica) - superb O/C'ers. Some DO better than others - it is the luck of the draw. Some people believe some retailers "pick-over" OEM CPUs and will recommend a retail packaging.

Yes Use this.

So any 1.6 chip that i get i should be about to get a good O/C.. what would you say the avg that some can get out of the 1.6?

 

[THUGSROOK]

[PhoenixOfWater]

Is there any way to know where the chip was make by looking at the box?
