Can i hit 3.0 ghz on the e4300 with stock cooling and this mushkin pc2-6400 RAM with Asus P5N-E nForce 650i SLI without increasing the voltage.... and would it be stable?
doubt it but im not exactly sure
just wait a while to you get more money and get an aftermarket cooler
with stock you will still get a good voerclock and really good performance
Some E4300s will reach 3.0ghz on stock cooling but don't count on it (really doubt it on stock voltage though) . I would just get an Freezer 7 for $20..
There should be some decent price drops on graphics card by the end of the months. CPUs, mobos should stay about the same and memory should drop a bit more too.
