How is everyone doing with 750e p3's?

Are they overclocking good or not at all?

Try overclockers.com CPU database. They have got a nice survey of all cpus going there

Yea but thought I might hear some horry stories here or maybe some people that don't contribute like I never have.

Well,

I heard that MOST 750e's don't overclock beyond 110-115 FSB which only gives you 10-15% OC, unless you use special cooling

Good luck
Let me knwo how far you get with it, because I am thinking of moving up from my 600E (whihc OC's beautifully to 900). If you did not get any cpu's yet, just get the 650. With the right mobo, like the CUSL2 which lets you adjust the FSB:SDRAM clock ration to 3/4, youc an achieve crazy speeds.

Good luck

I have had a 750e P3 slot 1 for about 3 months running at 968mhz (129fsb x 7.5) with a alpha heatsink on a abit bx6 r2. I can play anything no problems. I can run it at 133mhs fsb but it crashes after about 30min in CS. So I am very happy with the 750e.
Hope that helps.

Yep, if you want crazy bus speeds, those 650s work good.

Haven't bought one yet. I am currently running a slot 1 700e on a Asus P3v4x @ 1022 mhz and want to switch to the CUSL2 and need a Flip chip to use in it and was thinking a 750e @ 133 would be awesome or maybe 140 fsb with a little luck. I'm just in the research stage now.
