How will the Q6700 do on a p5n-e?

[benskia]

Hey folks,

Just noticed the nice price of the q6700.
I was not far off of buying a q6600, but now the q6700 is in range too.

Is the q6700 a safer bet taking into account I have a p5n-e and I've heard about probs with o/c quads on these?

Ideally I'd be looking to get 3.2ghz out of one to match my current dual-core.


Cheers.

Nobody knows?
Hmmm...I'll let you all in on the results when I get it sorted then.

of course nobody knows overclock is largely down to luck even if someone has the same combination doesn't mean you'll get the same results.

having said that G0 revision quad at 3.2Ghz should be fine with this board.

I wanna know also

I want to go from an E6600 to the Q6700.

I'd b interested to find out too, i also have this board, and was planning on the Q6600 then intel announced these price cuts and the Q6700 suddenly looked a very nice propersition.

However i've heard of people struggling with this board to get any kind of decent OC out of it when using a quad

benskia, if u decide to buy pls post ** results and let us know how you get on. be *** to know.
