Big Grin Celeron 766 OCed to 4Ghz - Newegg customer review

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819112141

see the comments

I OC'd this to 4.0GHz+ speeds, paired with dual 7800GTXs in SLi mode. I have 8GB of DDR3 RAM with 1-1-1-1 timings, and 2x500GB 10,000RPM hard drives. I get about 37,857 in 3Dmark05, and this is all on air cooling.

I highly recommend this CPU to everybody.



can you ever trust newegg customer reviews ? LOL

Hahaha, well that processor's a joke anyway. You can usually trust other reviews by comparing them to other reviews.
