Wow.. thats pretty Damn extreme for overclocking.

Thats my new favorite picture though.

Also with the Q9650 chips. they are all E0 Stepping. and thats the best you can get. the Q9550's are mostly all E0's but not all. I say get the Q9650. and you can get it from many places.. Frys.com, newegg.com has it on sale right now. they all will sale the E0's because thats all this chip comes with. and the VID is just a roll of the dice. but to be honest. I have not seen ONE Q9650 not be able to hit past 4.0 Ghz with a decent Motherboard. all of them can. I have a "supposed to be" ty eVGA 750i Mobo. everyone says Nvidia boards suck. and I'm stable at 4.205 Ghz with my Q9650. I run 24/7 at 4.0 Ghz with 1.304v and it idles around 33c with my TRUE.

Also get the MCP665.. it's a good pump.
