    The results are disappointing as a matter of fact for me.. The big L2 cache and the less power/heat just don't do the trick for me. I'd have really preferred a bigger multiplier available for Q9450/Q9550, even if that would have meant bigger prices.
    I think I'll go for the cheapo Q6600 as I should have done that a long time ago now.. Bad decision this time for me to hold..I should have upgraded to Q6600 for some time now and wait for Nehalem..

    Guys I have a question because I haven't kept up much with the Q6600 GOs O/C.. (sry for the OT question I just don't wanna flood the place with new threads if I can avoid it)

    I have a E6600 for a year and a half now and I can do 3.6GHz with 1.5v and around 55C idle temp with a TR Ultra xtreme 120.
    If I'm to go with a Q6600 GO I have a major question with basically 3 subparts if you look more closely to it..

    Is it highly possible to achieve a 24/7 3.6-3.8GHz O/C with this cooler (on high end air that is)?
    Any good batch I should look for?
    My W/C needs some tweaks and I'll keep it on air for a while so your feedback is really appreciated..
    Thnx in advance
