Intel E8400 vs. Q6600

[veg1992]

you wanna sell the 9650?

... my god..

I'm surprised Intel didn't try to pull off a Wolfdale QX

Brand New QX9650 are at $600

E8400 = Gaming Most Of The Time
Q6600 = Lots Of Programs/Applications Opened At The Same Time

Or whichever is the cheapest becuase you wont see much difference from both of them

new q9650 are 600.00 the qx's are 1000.

q6600 is old tech tbh. If I were going to go quad it would have to be 45nm and clocked to 4+ghz

for a quad 2 4ghz he is going to need water anyway unless its a qx or q9650, and a q6600 will pull that off with water to if you get a good chip like mine or veeds.

oh phew. I don't feel so bad now haha. I'm trying not to part out the system atm. be easier to at least break even with the new rig costs.

I'm pretty sure I read of someone getting their q6600 to 4ghz on air :/ meh

with what temps? and do they live in an egloo cause i have a tuniq, lapped and my cpu lapped, and some as5 thermal paste, i get 38c idle at 3.6 and 60c idle at 4.0 my goal is this witner when its -40 outside to set my computer up o na table and try and get it to 4.0 stable that or leave a window open all day while my dads @ work.
also on ebay you can fidn new qx9650's for 650.

temps? no clue. wasn't it nosboost? lol

 

[Poizen22]

yes btu he had a q6700 and his temps where probably high aswell. not good for 24/7 use.

All the E0 stepping quads will do that with ease on AIR...and many of the C1 steppings will too (i had a qx9650 that did 4.2ghz 1.38V which is more than do-able on air)....also they are 10-20% faster clock for clock so a 65nm quad would have to be clocked to 4.4-4.8ghz to achieve similar performance.

fu i want one now.
