[QUOTE="cranky, post: 424609, member: 9160"] No. Chipset (not CPU) cooling may get you another 10-20MHz but not more. The stock Intel cooler is good to 1.35V and about 3.2-3.6 GHz, so you don't really need a TRU/E120 or similar. If you have good memory (capable of 450FSB) + CPU mult >9 then an Intel chipset is the way to go. If you got generic RAM then the nVidia series will help you unlink the memory so you can push low-mult chips pretty high. Remember 3.0Ghz = 400x7.5, so the mult is pretty low and you're already at the limit of 800MHz DDR2, so the OC is tougher than say an E6600 which is already mult x 9 and FSB of 266. Together with even valueRAM the OC can be very satisfying. I'm currently at 350 FSB with no added voltages to anything, the Vcore had to be manually set to 1.28 to conquer Speedstep. This is 3.15GHz on the stock cooler, no increase in load temp (idle went up by about 5 degrees due to no Speedstep/C1). You'd be better off with a lower FSB CPU (say 266/333) and quality DDR2/800 if you want to push hard once you upgrade. For now, just forget about it. Since the E6300 can be a formidable overclocker, would suggest a platform upgrade to just the RAM and the mobo, you can easily push a good combo up to 450FSB (3.15 GHz) without any new cooling.
