q6600 vs q8200

[Burn]

which of these is best for overclocking? i know the q6600 has the higher multi and lower stock fsb, but the 45nm chip in the q8200 sure seems attractive.

i think the q6600 is faster and a better clocker. due to the better multi and is faster because it has more cache.

thats what i was thinking, what are the differences with temps?

 

[Poizen22]

they cant be that much at 3.8 im idle at 38c.

 

[Burn]

aftermarket heatsink?

 

[Poizen22]

yea tu6niq tower and a lapping either way im sure you will be better off with the q6600 and no matter which you get buy a after market cooler.

i have this:
Newegg.com - ZALMAN 9500A 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks
so cooling hopefully wont be a problem

The Q8200 was basically a failure. It's the worst of the Quad series.

after doing some more research, this is what i have to say:
amen. lol

dont even think about touching the 8200... 7x multi and 4MiB of cache... its absolutely ****! terrible clocker... you wont get it stable high enough to need to worry about the temps... q6600 all the way
