I have been offered two Q6600s which are Revision B0 and wonder if they will do 3.6 G on good air cooling with less than 1.5V under full load 24/7/365. I have 4 Revision 3 Step 7 chips that can do that no problem. Just not sure about the B0 chips. Anyone?

I had a B0/step4 QX6700 Kents.
No way it could do 3.6Ghz on air fully stable (double Orthos for example) on whatever voltage. Another problem wouldbe the necessary FSB to reach this : only P5B-del ever got that chip up to 400...
Best I got it was 3.95 Ghz on Single Stage.
PS: you probably won't need it any more, heard from Piotr you got some QX from him (just like me ;) )

Sierra (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1735128&postcount=189) had 3.4 stable. Not too bad if the price is right.

You'll be happier in the long run. It only hurts while your writing the check!
Notice how easy that was for me to say? I didn't have to write it!;)
Best of luck with them.
(besides, I have an idea that you might like..Think 14 cores vs 16..:D )
We have to do this..And before summer..I can imagine how hot it gets there.
