I'd think this would outperform a Core 2 Duo E8400, even when overclocked. What do you guys think? The E5300 is going for $80 at the store. I wouldn't mind spending an extra $30-40 on an after market cooler.
I'm trying to get the best performance out of a cheap build. |
WOW!!! That's an amazing overclock!!! 
I haven't read the whole article (at least not yet...  ), but maybe the one he got had a good stepping and/or low VID??? Did he managed to get this overclock with air cooling only??? What ere is temps?
I'd still go with a E8400 which overclocks quite good as well, just to be on the safe side.
