There's more to squeeze out of a 6750 than 3.6 I assure you, though for how long depends on the luck of the draw.
That DFI board is nice, but DFI boards and overclocking can sometimes be a bit of a confusing experience.

I like the DFI mobo I have. It's a similar model to the one you're looking at I think. I'm to lazy to look it up. lol. The BIOS is incredible and almost to comprehensive if you ask me... BUT at least there is the ability to do things you need to. ;)

....gm

add: Ok.... NOT that lazy. lol. link to DFI LP LT X48-T2R

---

if you dont mind me asking, what did you pay for that mobo?
and what cpu are you running with that mobo?
thanks.

I paid to dang much. lol. I think it was something like $175 with delivery and all. ;) I'm running a Q6600 with B3 stepping which isn't good btw. lol. I'm at a comfortable 3.0 on air but that is about the norm for that chip on air. hth....

It is when they don't have better. Try and replace a Pentium D Smithfield these days and you ain't gonna get a like replacement, but the E6320 has not long been out of production, so they MIGHT replace it with that. No guarantees though, you could end up with something like an E5200, and you would be much better off if you did.

What do you guys think I would get back if I RMA my E6300 with Intel?

They don't make the E6300 anymore...or even any other Ex00 or Exx0 CPUs for that matter.

Will I get a new cpu back or will I get an old one?

And lets say that I do get an E6300 back, do you guys think I have a "golden chip" if it can do 3.2ghz or air?

If that DFI board IS indeed confusing to overclock with, I won't buy it cause I am still (even after 2 years of overclocking) far from an expert at it. But if you guys think I would be able to do it, then let me know and I will order it.

Thanks.

More than likely you will still get an E6300! It was a very popular chip, so chances are very good that they still have plenty of them in stock.

According to what Intel told me they have some fairly large numbers of discontinued chips, depending on the sales of particular chips. The E6300 was a very popular chip, so I would imagine they would have plenty of them. When I replaced the D-940 last year, they still had plenty of those in stock, and I got a D-940 as my replacement. I don't think that waiting 3-4 months will help. More like two years!

if i rma my e6300 right now and get an e6300 back will i get another 3 year warranty on that?
and the e6300 i get back, will it be brand new, sealed?

No, the warranty just continues from the date of the original purchase! It will be a new boxed one, with cooler, so you have to return the stock cooler as well. An OEM, CPU only carries a 1 year warranty, while the Boxed version is 3 years! That's why I never get rid of the box and cooler!

okay,
do they actually test the cpu? to see if it actually is faulty?
if not, then i will be returning my e6300, getting the new one from intel, selling it, and then buying an e5200
is this worth it? will the e5200 overclock any higher than 3ghz?

I don't really know. One morning it just wouldn't boot up. The CPU was dead! The motherboard (Asus P5P-800SE) wasn't designed for the load of overclocking a Pentium D. With 3 stage power regulation and a poor quality PSU, it just wasn't up to the task.

so it way overclocked and they couldn't tell?
did it die from too much voltage or the fluctuation of the voltage?

I sincerely doubt that Intel even bothered to look at a Pentium D CPU other than to see if it worked or not! All they told me was that it was evaluated and was being replaced, and gave me all the Info for the new one! I wouldn't exactly be holding my breath on that one if it was a $1000 and up chip! LOL!! I would imagine that they would look much closer at those!

They can't tell if it's been overclocked, but they can sure tell if the voltage has been run higher than specs, but I doubt that they would bother for all but the most expensive ones!

BTW! Just so you know and I don't have to kick myself later for not telling you, the E5200's maximum voltage is 1.3625v. My rule of thumb there is don't exceed 1.35v, just to be safe! Note that Intel is really splitting hairs here at 4 decimal places for the Max volts. There has to be a reason that every person I know thats overvolted a Wolfdale or it's Xeon counterpart, has wound up having to RMA it! Some sooner and some later! With the worsening economy, companies will be looking for more ways to save money, and I'm sure the RMA criteria will be raised!

the problem with the e6300 is that even at stock speed, sometimes the computer works and other times, nothing, no boot, no post.
so when intel tests it and it is working, will they deny my rma?
and i know for a fact that it IS the cpu cause i tested the computer with my uncle's e6700 and the computer booted perfectly, everytime.

When you call or email for the RMA, just make it clear what it's doing. There won't be any problem unless you hit it with a hammer! LOL!!

Do not mention overclocking and tell them you are using the stock cooler! They do try and bust your balls for not using theirs. I finally told the guy busting my chops for using a Freezer 7 Pro that it wasn't even a question which cooler is better, and there is nothing in the warranty that says that you have to use their cooler! He shut up pretty quick! LOL!!
