Nice OC, I hope these get released before X-Mas
I'm starting to wondering now if it would be worth buying a Q6600 G0 now for about 285$ with a 9 multi or wait and buy a Q9450 for about 350$ and with a multi of 8...
It's seems about equal performance cuz if the Q6600 reach lets say 3,8 Ghz and the Q9450 reach about 3,3 or 3,4 Ghz because of the lower multi if the performance will be better... and for about 80$ more
I'm finding this quad is between 2 and 500mhz quicker than the Q6600 depending on the test. I also managed to run it at stock with 1.07v and passive water cooling. PA120.1 and chipset waterblock. Quad Orthos stable...well 2hrs but I'm impatient. :p

And after that with max. FSB what is possoble for these two CPUs.
I'm allso in two minds about buying of Q6600 G0, or waiting for Q9550 or Q9450?!
It will be very interesting a comparation between Q6600 and Q9450 allso.
Thank's!
Will the multipliers be locked on these bad boys? Only FSB to play with?
Yup. If you want unlocked multi's you have to shell out for the Extreme versions. I'm seeing that the regular Yorkfields are all hitting a FSB wall :/
I think it will have 8.5 on the Q9550 and 8 on the Q9450.
I think they can run beautifully but not in current mobos.
weescott any updates on bios and results?
cheers
I'll sell my Q6600 and get one of those from NewEgg.com soon. Hope it's already an E0 revision ^^
if it isn't doesn't even worth, so if can't get a E0 stepping forget it, keepQuote:
