q6600@3ghz (9x333)
8800GTX in SLI (169.28)
OCZ reaper 4gb 800 5-5-5-15 2T
EVGA 680i latest bios
Vista 64 all updates & SP1
Thermaltake 1200w PSU

So the new 1200w thermaltake PSU is in and I've moved my tower to a much colder room, temps are cpu at 20-21-26-26, mobo at 24 and gfx cards are 50 each. I've hit 15700 consistantly on 3dm06 now.

Two questions;

1) I feel heavily CPU limited and I'm quite fancying a wolfdale. I can sell my q6600 for about 80% of what they retail for at the moment and get the wolfsdale.. worth it? Would love to start clocking that bad boy. What difference would I see in 3dm for example?

2) is there any way to set both of my GPU fans to 100%? Noise isn't an issue for me at all.
 
Well I had the 620HX and it was getting ridiculously hot. Nivida rec. is 750w plus so I just took the plunge. My main question is about the cpu really. I'm looking at 780i as the mobo.
