3.2C or 3.0C? which is the better value?

[Achilles17]

ive heard the 3.0C can oc very well, but i havent about the 3.2, but i imagine it does. i would be getting good air cooling with this (sp94 + 92mm tornado), which is the better buy? the 3.2 is about $60 more, what speeds could i most likley reach with each one, and which could i get a better overclock with? thanx

I would go with the 3.0c , seems like to a good overclocking choice lately. Also with a 15x versus a 16x multiplier, you should be able to get a higher fsb overclock. Mine does 3.7ghz easily at low voltages and most other people with 3.0c seem to be getting similar results.

Also I have a sp-94...i have a 92mm tornado and it was way too loud for my ears. I would recommend the thermaltake 92mm fan which pushes out 78cfm and the noise is not that bad. just my opinion

Save the 60 dollars and get the 3.0c ..my 2 cents

Yes, they both O/C close to the same top speed, so the 3.0C is cheaper and will have higher FSB.

they both hit the same speed huh? thats odd...but thanx guys, i guess ill just get the 3.0 and save me $60

Why is it odd? They are the same exact thing. Same core, same stepping, same everything except the 3.0C has a 15X multiplier and the 3.2C has a 16X multiplier and higher price tag.

true...
