Boo...I want better temps too >_< May I ask where you got your info for lapping your heatsink. I know my chip can go much higher than 3 Ghz.

Also, did you buy some kind of lapping kit or did you buy your stuff from various places?

Nice overclocks / temperatures.

I notice you have a post about running BIOS 404.
Did your motherboard come with an earlier BIOS version
AND you were able to boot WITH THE Q6600 G0 and
REFLASH even though the G0 wasn't supported before 404?

Good question:

My motherboard came with 0202 BIOS but I had my mobo for nearly a month now. If you noticed in my first post again, you can see that I had the E6700 OC'ed with the same mobo just before I swapped it out for the Q6600 G0. So the mobo was already flashed to 0404 BIOS before the Q6600 G0 came in.

My guess with the P5K-Dlx is that the P35 chipset should still recongnize the Q6600 G0 stepping regardless of the BIOS version. I'd worry if you've older chipset mobos such as the P965/975 or 680/650I SLI (without their newest BIOS flash).

I cannot guarantee if the Q6600 G0 will boot with older P5K-Dlx BIOS becouse obviously I didn't try it. If you can flash the mobo to the 0404 BIOS or newer before you put in the G0 that'd be great but if not just put it in anways and boot it up. Worst case senerio is the system will not post but you'll not kill it.
