Core 2 Duo E4500 OC'ing

[CrazyNutz]

what intel chip even used is $30? cant find an e5200 for that much even now

$30 he could get this chip clocked a smidge bit more extend its life and down the road shove that cooler onto some other chip.

use the $30 for the heatsink fan you suggest + save up $30 "MORE" gets a e5400. 30 + 30 = 60

I did not say he could could get a better cpu for $30, read man!

I'm saying dont wast money ($30 what your suggesting) buying another cooler when he can get a faster/cooler/lower power/newer/all around better cpu for $60.

OR he can just live with it! Contrary to what your trying to tell him, his temps are not that bad!!!!

Guys, I haven't gave up. I'm thinking about lapping and have Arctic Silver 5.

I DID lap my e4300, and i gained nothing! wast of time!!!! but yeah try the as5, a small rice size dot in the middle
