E4300 has 9x multiplier?!?

I didn't realize until last night the E4300 has a 9x multiplier.
Of course the FSB is only 800MHz, but if you're overclocking for CPU speed, it doesn't matter, right?
So it seems to me the E4300 would be a better choice than the E6300 or E6400.

Thinking of trading my E6300 for one until the E6420 comes out.
 
from what I understand, yes, the lower stock fsb and higher multiplier give it more OC headroom........... makes sense though, since you don't have to run the FSB as high to get one hell of an OC.......
 
you can get to 3.6ghz with 400mhz fsb x 9. And the memory would be at 1:1. This is good for us lazy overclockers.
 
that's assuming the chip can come close to 3.6ghz.. should be the bottom of intel's bin at the moment :p

Yeah, I doubt you're going to see many E4300s running a 100% overclock, they'll likely be like the 165 Opty's and top out between 2.7 and 3.0, but we'll see once a bunch of people get them.
 
3.6 would prob be streaching it a bit but you should get the 4300 up to 3.2-3.3 with no problems.
 
375*9 @ ~1.468 v no problem.

Would push it to 400 x 9, but I don't really see the point.

Also, pcmark05 = 7851 w/oc, stock 8800gts and stock 2 gb geil ddr800.
 
333x9 here
48c with a thermaltake silent 755d under load. 30c idle at ~1.45v
Haven't messed with it much here yet though :)
 
The E4300 is designed for a 200 MHz clock speed (stock). The Conroe are designed with a 266 Mhz clock. That is a big difference right there. I don't think people should expect to get stable 400 MHz that is just not realistic.

People look at the 9x multiplier and think they are getting a bargain price E6600 but that is not going to be the case I think. It remains to be seen if E4300 will be a good overclocker. It is designed as a cheap processor and to use cheap memory
