Just want to know what some of you guys have OCed to on this CPU on air cooling, just to have a sort of reference.
i dont have it but :O you stealer! u stole my icon
=[[
i dont have it either, but i bet its a pretty good over clocker, because the q6600 is, right?
oh, and dude, blooddrunk was here first. hand over the avatar
actually from what ive heard/read, because of its higher fsb and lower multiplier, it doesnt overclock too well. The Q6600 was so amazing because of the x9 multiplier and 1066fsb, which allowed it to be overclocked greatly, just upped my G0 SLACR to 3.6 over 3.4 this weekend. ^^
Damn, if I didn't have the 790i Ultra board I would have gotten the q6600. How well does the 9300 perform anyway? Better than the q6600? New avatar btw lol.
lol, an the Q9300 is 45nm, so it runs cooler and mroe efficient, but if you plan on overclocking, then the Q6600 is by far better
Would I be able to use the 6600 with my motherboard? I don't think they have matching fsb.
of course you would, 790i supports up to 1333, q6600 is 1066 fsb, it works
just because it supports 133 fsb doesnt mean its required. ofcourse it iwll
I'm probably getting the nvidia GX2 Black Edition. If I return the 9300 and get the 6600 to overclock, will it be a better system overall? In terms of no bottlenecking and what not?
no bottleneck will occur lol
also ratherthan the 9800gx2, for about the same price id just sli 2 9800gtx's
Really? Better FPS?
yes, 2 8800gt's in sli beats a 9800gx2, and 2 9800gtx's just shits on its face
now if you werent getting the 790I then i would suggest the gx2
Awesome, I can get two different versions as long as they both are 9800 GTX right? If so I can get Call of Duty 4 and Company of Heroes free.
yes you can, tho if one's overclocke dand another isnt, the overclocked one will lower its clock to match the stock one
Can't I just raise the lower clocked one to match the other?
its just an automatic thing, you can overclock them in rivatuner tho...
