got to love these new q6600 cpus 4ghz on 1.55 dont know if its 100% stable (yet) but surely if it can run at this speed the chip must be good for at least 3.8ghz. i could be a member of the 4ghz quad club.

Remember you need to add 15C to those speedfan temps, but still very nice.
 
yep, but i seem to have some sort of problem with my water cooling setup the temps are a little high. the rad is getting very warm so i know the heat is going in to the water but rad doesnt seem to be taking the heat away and that with a pa120.3 with 120mm 5v modded deltas . i have a mate with the same set up and his temps are 12c lower than mine ilde.
 
Ive managed to get my Q6600 stable at 4005mhz, its not prime stable but every other application is yet to BSOD the computer. Think thats at 1.54v in windows which drops to around 1.48v under load. I think its the voltage drop thats causing the BSOD as it runs perfectly fine when the voltage stays above 1.5v
Temps on my w/c setup seem high at idle and load, going to re-seat and re-arrange everything sometime next week to see if it helps

High cfm fans don't work so well at low rpm. Some Yate Loon at 12v will be just as silent and provide more pressure through the rad core.
 
Get the newest build of Speedfan ideally the last beta (final is due), it reads correct temps and it aint always 15C higher (depending on CPU model), same with Everest.

open up 40-50 tabs at once with firefox ...clocked quad really rips through it compared to a dual core.

£150 well spent :D

a clocked quad with 4gb in vista works like a dream, it's a very smooth desktop experience no matter what you're throwing at it even without native threaded apps.

Very nice. I can only get my Q6600 G0 to around 3.6 and it gets very toasty (with watercooling), so I'd either need to rejig it or leave it at 3.2 which only needs a tiny voltage bump from stock.

Whats a single core?:D;)

The concept seems positively ridiculous now doesnt it? :D I wouldnt even consider buying single core again.
This in my eyes is a very good thing. The more people take up multi-core tech, the more motivation people will have to develop for it :)
