Hi, I'm Fairly New To Actually Building Computers so I thought I would ask about Overclocking Older CPUs on Older Mobos as I Plan on Hopefully Picking up some older stuff to build a cheap computer for Resale to make a profit, even if slight to help get some Income and Experence as I'm Looking for a Job.
As of Right Now, I Have $60 Cash and a Old 320GB IDE Harddrive, a Old Sound Blaster Live Sound card, OEM eMachines Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Disc, Stock AMD FX-4100 CPU Cooler and some Arctic Silver Ceramique 2 Thermal Paste I could use for the 1st Build to get me started.
Looking on Ebay, there are 2 CPU/Motherboard Combos I hope to afford, The First is a Intel DG33FB LGA775 Motherboard + Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz CPU (E6750, 4MB Cashe, 1333MHz FSB), It got a Buy it now of $71.96, Starting Bid of $27.61: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/151217024791?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
The Other Combo is a Better Deal as it includes Not just the MOBO and CPU but RAM also, its a ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Mobo with a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ CPU (2.2GHz) and 2x 1GB Sticks of OCZ Gold Edition Duel Channel DDR PC 4000 RAM, Currently Got 2 Bids currently at $1.38: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/181307151267?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Only Overclock Experence I have is OCing the FX-4100 Currently in my Gaming Rig and all I had to do was go into BIOs and simply Manually Disable some things (to prevent the stock turbo boost and what not) and increase the Multiplier to OC from 3.6GHz to 4.4GHz (990FXA-UD3 Revision 1.1 MOBO, 8GB Kingston HyperX Ram Running at 1333MHz Rated for 1600MHz, Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler).
I Was Wondering what combo would you choose and what stuff I already have could be used for the build, Also, What would the Overclock Potential be for those Combos?
