PCPer Overclocks the Intel Core 2 Duo E6750

While your initial reaction to a 1333MHz bus processor may be that it will be a poor CPU for overclocking that does not seem to hold true. Ryan over at PC Perspective gets his E6750 Core 2 Duo up to a swanky 3.84GHz.

If you want another reason to hold out for the upcoming 1333 MHz FSB processors, our incredibly easy 3.84 GHz overclock should do nicely. I only had to push the core voltage to 1.5v in order to get the system stable with a 480 MHz front-side bus, a sign that the new Core 2 Duo lineup is going to have a lot of headroom for future product releases from Intel.

I skimmed the OC section of the article, but I didn't see what type of cooling he used. I assume it was on air?

Lets see how good the retail 6750's are at OC'ing compared to the engineering sample thats in this article.

It also raises the question on price. I'm interested in seeing what the new processors will cost after Intels price cut. I may just stick with the Q6600
