Which Conroe to get?

I intend to upgrade to conroe in the near future. The difference is, I use phase-change cooling. Which means, I can pull a very nice overclock on mediocre parts. So, the question is, which one to get? Obviously the better speed binned parts tend to go higher overall, but their is the question of how high I really need to go. So, what does everyone think?
 
You're clearly asking the wrong question at the wrong website. What you wanna do is go over to xtremoverclockers and look at what the psychos are getting and how high they're OCing.

My bad, couldn't think of the site's name earlier. It was xtremesystems.org. Here's the thread.

I think you'll want the 6700 or higher due to the higher multiplier
 
For gaming and general work:
E6300 not conroe but allendale
should be ok even at stock but if you want then I have read about a piece going to 2.8, at techenclave.com/forums
At this clock you can do about anything in gaming

If you are a mutli tasking pro, and wanna do many thing at the same time including gaming, then get a E6600 and oc it as much as you want

Bottomline

For most if not all purposes any Core 2 Duo at stock is enough.

Dude, read the post before you post. Why post a canned answer to all questions Conroe?
 
From my previous experiences of phase changing you really want the highest clocked chip possible because of multiplier locking. I would just go for the highest clocked 1066FSB chip and then aim to hit at least a 1333FSB or higher.

Lol, I totaly agree, who posts a canned answer about not overclocking in a thread about phase change... I dont think he read more than the title, if that... maybe he just saw Core 2 and hit paste.
 
I am thinking phase change as well to go along with watercooled video cards. I don't want uuuuuuuuuubbber clocks so I would go with the 2400 or 2660? (to sleepy still to remember exact speed) get some good overclocker memory. I would love a Conroe in the 3500-3800 range. Oh well the reality producing coffee has yet to arrive.

If I wanted to run my ram 1:1 at 1333FSB, do you have a ram recomendation? Also, is it known whether the Core 2 Extreme Editions or what ever will have unlocked multies?
 
either the 800FSB core 2 duo or a E6700 (10x multi) or an X6800 (unlocked multiplier apparently).

those are your best bets. also visit the forums at xtremesystem.org/.com/.net whatever it ends in.
