you should not be building your own computer as the only people who fry chips are retards who set their Vcore to insane amounts.
All C2D's are manufactured with the though of every one being an X6800 but due to quality control the ones that run hotter are just underclocked and sold as a lower chip. This means that all have the same Technology and can all reach the same FSB in the end. The X6800 has an unlocked multiplier but you get higher FSB with a lower multi therefore making it useless. You will max out around the same as an E6600.
So really the x6800 can reach those high speeds with better stability than the 6600 right? If it runs cooler, doesn't that give it more potential for running higher since it can be more stable?
