I am looking to build a new system and was just wondering how the 65 watt processors overclock. I was looking at the x2 3800. It is selling for cheap at newegg.

65W isn't the lowest is it?
Ah well...C2D for me then it looks like...C2D draw 35W if my mind serves me correctly.

You can find the x2 4200 for the same price if you look. I haven't oc'ed my new x2's yet.
I can't find it now, but someone tried (from here i think) and the gain was not that much, 10% maybe. (for Pi)

I took my X2 4800 up to 3.14 and it only got a Pi slice down to 25:50 I just don't see it being worth the wear and tear. So I run it at about 2.6 and get 27:40. I have no idea on the 65 watt.

I might donkey with the oc on these after Pi (no smoking during werking hours). It might be interesting.
Right now I ran the x2 4800 (65w) up to 2670 from 2485 with not much of a time reduction, temp 30 C (no temp increase). Maybe a little more tommorow.
*One run change goes from 28.25 to 27.15, not bad (P1 side).
**Next morning found a run at 27.50 (P1 side). Looks to oc the same as 89w, maybe.

There is a 35W x2 3800 cpu out there. I can't find it for under $400!!! (if i do, its mine) And it is out of stock on a lot of sites.
**found it for $327, still too spendy.

yeah, it is a bit spendy. And, you'd only be top banana for a little while and then *poof* there will be the new latest and greatest on the market that is also a little spendy................

The coolest (heat wise) you can get are the VIA chips usually on Mini-ITX - so cool they can rely on passive cooling.
