This is more to do with what you said earlier something like "I think on my 6000+ my IHS is soldered to the core"...on my old X550 i took of the heatsink and took half the core with it..woops
stock, its close...depending on who you ask it is right at it or about 150-200 points lower. not a big deal IMO.
lol but watch when they overclock the 6600 to like 3.2...ouch.
MOST AMAZING CONCERT EVER!! hahaha.. i was screaming, and skankin' (moshing i guess) so hard i almost passed out several times... most likely cuz of dehydration!!! hahaha
and im' considering building a 2nd rig really soon..and that phenom black edition is catching my eye
sweet deal. do you know when the x48 boards are coming out? cause I really wanna pick up a e8500 and a x48 board if they come out before February. I'm really stoked to get a 4+ ghz cpu.
