why is the E6750 cheaper than the E6700?

Isn't the E6750 better than the E6700?

Will the Gigabyte P35c mobo support the E6750?

thanks

It's the multiplier. The e6700 has a x10 multiplier, making it very easy to reach those high speeds. But the e6750 is better for it's price.

the e6750 will get higher o/c neway lol

...but because of the e6700's high multiplier, the e6700 gets the higher overclock.

 

[kobe24]

yeah i guess but i would still get the 6750 over the 6700

Of course. The e6700 is more like for the hardcore overclockers, trying to set records.

But as far as know the E6750 overclocks better because of the G0 stepping !!

In techreport they were able to overclock it to 3.6GHz with the stock cooler

I'm sure without water cooling and stock hs+fan it will overclock higher due to the lower voltage.

Yes it will. I was just saying that the e6700, will get the higher overclock in general.
