April 20 Price Drop?

[Dakaggo]

So is the 6700 worth extra cash after the price cut?

 

[Baez]

In short, no. You can get more out of the 6600 for the price.

Why even bother paying $40 more for an unlocked multi.. its not that much more OCing potential ^__^'

actually its just x10 multiplier, but I think it maybe worth it for people who don't like calculating while overclocking like me (if I ever got a q6700 lol) or Nosboost and if you don't want to be limited by a 9x multiplier

does that mean that if the Q6600 is at 4GHz and the Q6700 is at 4.4GHz it is has the same voltage, temperature, FSB, ect...

 

[veg1992]

actually 4.440ghz

 

[AP4LIFETN]

actually 4.440ghz

actually...4.444ghz

 

[veg1992]

actually...4.444ghz

No, a q6600 at 4ghz is a 444 FSB (x9 Multiplier), the same FSB x 10 for q6700 is 4440mhz

no. It just means that your FSB is lower or your clocks are higher. Its still going to take voltage on the cpu vcore. If anything at all it will help lower NB voltage. The higher multiplier helps out fsb limited mobo's. But at 400+ FSB any mobo can do that nowadays

lol, owned

u would need a 444.4 FSB to get 4ghz with q6600... u'd be off 4ghz by a little with 444
