Everyone knows Intel Core 2 is a good processor but what happens when you take an E6700 and X6800 Extreme and overclock? Recently we took a look at the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme based processors in terms of the architecture and pitted it against its older Netburst brothers. Today we are going to do something that we didn?t get into in our article ? Overclocking the processors as far as we can on current readily available motherboards.

We all know how the Pentium 4 overclocks but how well do the Core 2 processors stack up in terms of maximum speed obtainable and it is worth the extra stress on the processor for the extra MHz gain? Today we hope to answer this with our look into overclocking the Intel E6700 and X6800 Extreme processors.
