Lou Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hi guys just got my supermicro C2SEE board and was looking for some input for a cpu type. I was about to order the celeron E3300 Cpu should I look at a diffrent chip or is this the way to go. I also Have a Pentium D 940 775 Cpu here but don't think it it is compatible? Advice would be great Thanks in advance. Lou Quote Link to comment
ohlwiler Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 The E3300 is a fine choice. Another option is the Celeron 430 for a few buck less. When I tested, (using E3200 vs. 430) the 430 used a couple of watts less power at idle. It also slowed my parity checks by about 10%. If you plan to use any add-ons I would go with the E3300.
