I think the E2160s and the E2180s are the best OCers followed by E8400 and E8200

You sure about that ? Cos thats a very bold statement

hmm
E2160-ok
E2180-ok
E8400-ok !
E7500-ok !
Q6600,Q9550,Q9650 -ok !!!
E8200 was not so good OCer..atleast the one i got..couldnt pass 3.6
obviously i m not considering gaming performance , just OC

The best OCer is E8600, then E8500 and Q6600, E7200, E5200, E2220(2.4 Ghz one, didn't really go retail).

Intel Dual Core E21x0 are certainly sweeeet in terms of OC for sure.. Add a ThermalRight Ultra type CPU cooler and you see some heavy over clock...
Where as Real fun comes when you take the worst Over Clockers at higher end !!! Currently I am trying with Q6600 a really power hungry and really bad over clocker, even with ThermalRight Ultra 120 eXtreme and 2 120mm side panel FAN i cant go beyond 3.4 (with Orthos 5 hours load test) with the help of Cooler Master 600 watts PSU
Where as Q9450 does 3.4 any under a 500 watts Zebronics and upto 3.8 with 600 watts... My P5N-E SLi becomes bit unstable with FSB over 1600 MHz hence would try to go beyond with either IP35-Pro or would wait to get my hands in any higher end P45 boards !!!!!

The thing is that there is a reason why the E2xxx series dual cores are so cheap.They are not the best of the lot and hence there are 50-50 chances of one getting a really good chip which overclocks well.Whereas in case of the expensive ones, there is a better chance of each and every chip being able to clock well.
One needs to understand that usually in a wafer, the cores that are in the central part of the wafer are the best bins and hence they have lower VID, run cooler, clock very well and so on.The ones on the periphery are the worst of the lot.Hence, QX or X series chips have cores from the central part of the wafer and the cheaper ones have from the outer parts.
I guess that should pretty much sum it up

Yes..does so too...very logical. Physics wise makes sense. The central transistors will run cooler...and be better optimized. Will show less leakage and latencies..during high stress..! Thanks for sharing..!

Owner's of 4850 and 4870, don't consider OCing as it gives roughly 3.5% overall performance increase
FREE = Increased power consumption + More heating + Reduced GPU life
The GTX 280 and 260 hardly give any increase in performance when OCed(if you are playing with all settings on, no difference almost).
8600GT, 9600GT & 8800GT are gr8 OCers.
The previous OCes done, show the performance improvement.
The 8800GT when OCed to xtreme limits actually beats the 8800GTX and Ultra.
The 9600GT comes withing a hairs breadth in beatingthe 8800GTX & 9800GTX( in some cases, beats it).

Alright,
Here are a few of mine, ( Cant find others or rather the old ones)
1) AMD Opteron 170 @ 2.8GHz- AIR
2)Intel Celeron 326 @ 3.5GHz-AIR
3)Intel C2D E6600 @ 4GHz - WATER
4)Intel C2D E8400 @ 5GHz - DICE
5)Intel C2D E6600 @ 4.5GHz - DICE
6)Intel C2Q Q6600 @ 4.5GHz - DICE
7)Intel C2D E8500 @ 5.4GHz - DICE
Since i am not much of a 3D guy, i dont have many 3D scores.Anyways, here are some,
1)2900XT -3DMark 2001
2)2900XT - 3DMark2005
3)HD3850 CF - 3DMark2006
4)HD3850 CF - 3DMark2005
If i may suggest, i think it should be mandatory to post a screenshot or something as a proof of one's achievement. Making a statement that i did this and that is meaningless.Even i can claim that i cracked 6GHz on E8500 but thats not true.So if this thread is to be really useful, i think its necessary.
Hope everyone here gets my point.
Cheers !

That is one f*ckin OCing........how much does 8500/8600 does on air.....
Is it worth for an upgrade to 8500/8600 or wait for Nehalem (as its a major overhaul in proc architecture)
Yes hope it gets to the one it was ment for......
Ok ok , I got my mistake and 'm sorry!!!!

Frankly How much OC can a chip do is quite a luck thing.Usually 8500 can do around 4G on air but nothing can be guranteed.
As for 8600, since its a new stepping, it clocks much better so its sensible to go for 8600 is anyone wants to upgrade.
If you are using a non E8xxx series CPU then it can be worth the upgrade because one needs to remember that Nehalem upgrade means, mobo and ram upgrade too.So that cost needs to be taken into account.

Absolutely agreed, so you mean the new 8600 has higher potential for OCing right.
And that 2 similar chips(Eg 2 8500's) have chances that one might do 3.5GHZ on air while one do 4GHZ right!

Excessive happiness
Overclocking my 7600GS will retain me any performance hike in applications and games?.. i decided to overclock it, coz i never overclock gfx cards b4... I am not expecting a huge hike as i know its limits.....
