Hello all, well my Q6600 has died due to my PSU blowing up, finally figured out it is the cpu not anything else after numerous tests. So which do you guys recommend I get to replace it?

My MB is a P5Q pro.
 
I see, thanks I didn't realise that! Is the Q9550 good for overclocking then? I would like to be able to get to similar if not better than my current (now dead) q6600.
 
The q650 is a lot more moolar though! Eek. Actually looking at my post count I'm almost there, maybe I'l wait before I order one to see if any are going on there. Thanks for the advice folks, always appreciated.
 
Well I don't really have a budget, but I cant justify spending an extra 80quid on the 650 over the 550. I am sending it back yes, but it takes up to 90 days apparently! (it has to go back to manufacturer as its over a year old) So i'm going to buy a new one, and if I'm lucky and get a spare q6600 and sell it!
