| Generally,consider that : cA2 core hits @800 easy cB0 core hits @1000 easy cC0 core hits @1100 easy Buy a cC0 which is better and remind yourself that OC is not for saving money only,it`s for the enjoy of experiment and overall system performance. By the way,serious OC the most times is more expensive-and more demanding than a +200Mhz cpu and often than the whole system! So,go for a processor that come with your needs and then take the extra juice it has. |

| To quickly answer your question, The 700E W/ cC0 Stepping is by far the easiest to overclock i have 3 of them 1 will run at 1GHZ Rock Solid, the others run ROCK Solid at 933.
