Are new G0 chips really too good OCers? - No!

E6550 g0 cpus seem to do well. From the few ive seen. 3.8ghz @ 1.4vcore dont know if it ws stable but. Damn.

I'm just worried about the Q6600s and how they overclock.

I too am planning on getting a Q66 after the price drop. Just got my Striker Extreme, Muskin 1066, and an Ultra 120 Extreme. I hope it isn't a flop. I was really hoping for 4Ghz on air.

4.0Ghz on air from a Q66 in the heat of Palm Springs, CA is just asking to be set up for failure...

I highly doubt 4Ghz will happen on air (at least for 24/7 use). There's a good chance on watercooling though. I'm thinking 3.3-3.6 on air 24/7 stable...depends on what your setup is and how good of a chip you get.

That's my educated guess.

My question is this........why pair an nFarce 680i which is not a P35 with a Q6600?

We've seen what a P35 can do with a Q6600.

I too would be worried in getting a Q6600, "IF" I had an nFarce chipset and being that I wouldn't even touch one with a 10ft pole, I don't have anything to worry about it.

nFarce 680i

P35 means absolutely nothing to those of us with 2 8800 ultras...... Or anything SLI for that matter.
