Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX6850 - SLAFN
VS
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 Yorkfield 3.2GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 136W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
Which would overclock to a overall higher state, keeping in mind that the QX9770 wouldn't be able to top 1.4V and I hear that 1.5V is the highest for the QX6850...
QX9770 = 0.85-1.3625V 3.2GHz
QX6850 = 0.85-1.5V 3.0GHz
Would this be a situation in which the 65nm would smoke the 45nm as far as overclocking as high as 5GHz? Because I know that the QX9770 can't go above 1.4V or it's likely to fry the chip. I wonder if the 65nm is the same way with 1.5V as the 45nm is at 1.4V and even though I have never actually done an overclock this high I am beginning to doubt i'll get it over 1.5v anyhow.. It seems like a ton of voltage... And if I kept the QX9700 I wonder how far getting it to 1.4V would take me as far as CPU MHz goes.
Temps also seem to be a big issue.. Lets say I overclocked the QX6850 to 4GHz which made it pretty hot.. And lets say that when I overclock the QX9770 to 4GHz it is perfectly cool, But when I start to increase the voltages the QX6850 could go no higher than 4.5GHz because of heat only and the QX9770 could go no higher than 4.5GHz only because of voltages above 1.4V would damage it.(But it still could go higher) Is this very similar to what I am looking at? (This is just an example I made up.. I have no earthly clue how far these processors will go)
QX9770 Thermal Specification: 55.5°C - 131.9°F
QX6850 Thermal Specification: 64.5°C - 148.1°F
I wonder what "Core Stepping" means... because the QX9770 is "C1" and the QX6850 is "G0"
After research I really see a big deal with the 45nm chips and voltages above 1.4V
I found I can change any parts within 1 month of recieving them.. I recieved the QX9770 3 days ago... so, any suggestions?
HAS to be a Quad-Core.. it's in my project description approved by the board...and with EVGA and Intel.
I chose the QX6850 from browsing neweggs list and seeing as that was basically the only Quad-Core 65nm.
Originally my goal was to get to 5GHz.. now i may lower that to like 4.5GHz but nevertheless.. 5GHz is a challenge I kind of want to beat...
Some parts:
Motherboard 790iFTW with a 750W power supply.
GPU: GTX280FTW
RAM: OCZ Reapers
300GB 10,000Rpm Hard Drive
Water cooling(Petra)
