whats bettter?? 2.4c or 2.8c for OCing cause i heard 2.4c is a good ocer but i want a 2.8c and wonder will it oc better den the 2.4c

It's luck of the draw. My 2.4c does 3.2/3.3. Others have gotten up to 3.8. My father's can't even hit 3.0. I've heard of 2.8's not making it past 3.0 or going as high as 4. Buy whatever you want as long as it isn't a Prescott and cross your fingers.

People are having good results with the M0 stepping chips. YMMV with the max overclock for them.

hmmm okies i think ima stick with the 2.4c denz plus its a lil cheaper so it can save me moneyy = ] but if i OC it den what would be a good fan for the chip? cause i heard stock is not really good wen OCing

You can go for either the Thermalright SP-94 with a high speed 92mm cfm fan or a Zalman 7000A.

my 2.4 is @ 3.4ghz on stock cooling. i am using Arctic Silver 5 though. i also made a little tube that connects my side panel fan to my CPU's HSF using cardboard idle temps 22*C, around 30*C load i believe, maybe little more or less.
