Thats really awesome dude! congrats! I hope to do the same with my E8600 Wolfdale as my buddy AlienALX mentioned!! Get ready Alx, lets do this!

See? Now maybe you can understand why I told you not to sell it.

On a NH14 4.5 should be a breeze.

4.5ghz only needed vcore 1.38v. That probably wouldn't even trouble the NH14.

Yeah. Thing is right now that E8600 is like, 'free power'. It's bought, paid for and doing nothing. All you need to reach is the 60 FPS cap on a game and your'e sorted so I just don't see the reasoning behind throwing away a very decent chip with massive OC potential for say an I3/5 which at those clocks (4.5ghz) wouldn't make a massive difference any way.

Intel's best moment was the core 2 duo. That was what put AMD right on the backfoot.

I mean at the end of the day he might aswell at least try it and see what occurs before spending more. He has an unbelievably good motherboard too (MSI P7N diamond quad PCIE ETC) that's spanking new in the box, 4gb of Patriot Viper Extreme 1066 DDR2 and so on..

You are our wise one. No doubt we will be returning to this thread for help and advice real soon

Be Brave.
