Hello there. I am currently waiting for some new computer parts to come in, hopefully by the end of the week.
I've heard some good things about overclocking an E2140. Here's my situation though. The motherboard I'm using (Asrock 4coredual) is limited to DDR2-5300, however I will be getting 2GB of OCZ Plat. DDR2-6400 Rev. 2, the lower clock speed will allow me to set tighter timings, more stability, more overclock.
I'm also debating whether or not to stick with the stock heatsink or to get an Arctic Cooling 7 Pro. Will the stock cooling really prevent my overclock by that much?
Considering all this, would it be unrealistic to hope that I can set the RAM to run at 600MHz, have a 1:1 multiplier ratio and the multiplier set to x5, giving me 3.0GHz?? Do I have this all backwards??
