[krazyq]

crap....i have had it the other way all along. 3 months now
so the fan has to face the opposite way from the exhaut.

Do you think i've damaged anything?

 

[Nick]

noo way, yeah the fan is always facing away from the exhaust

 

[krazyq]

am i in trouble?
this could be the reason of why it was SOOOO hard to clip it in.

They need to invent an easier way to attach those.
I hope its easier for the intel mobo.

There is a G0 stepping for the Q6600. Good choice on CPU. The main purpose is to get a much more powerful processor than you paid for, or with the best equipment see how much performance you can possibly squeeze out. For example, going for the Q6600 for $290, which is a 2.4ghz processor and were able to achieve a stable overclock at 3.0ghz the chip would be the equivalent of a QX6850 processor at stock speeds, which costs around $1000.
