Hey good luck to you mate! 3.0g is QX6850 speed and if your happy dont worry what others think. Only push your hardware to your own limit, one thing is for sure it should out last my QX6700
Its taken me 4 months to kill a QX6700 which never went above 1.5v which is suposed to be ok voltage on water and phase but it killed my QX6700 stone dead. some use 1.6 on phase but for most its a new M/B or CPU core evey 6 months so the CPU's maywell last that kinda time period.
This is the 2nd intel chip that has died on me through pushing to hard looking for the extra mhz! its also the 2nd chip that was 100% stable untill one day the big crash for no reason, infact i was just browsing around then an instant reset and the cpu wont even run at default speed with post failure. change CPU and wam perfect stable system yet again!
and both times it was 1.5v which killed them in the end, and i cant blame M/board as 2 diffrent boards were used. both with high end hardware that you cant blame for the CPU blowing.
now lets see what this GO Q6600 can do!!!!!!!! till it dies! but thats overclocking, you push to the limit and 100% stable for months then death! to close to the edge i guess. or perhaps when intel put 1.35vmax on the box they mean it lol

To let a CPU burn in... If it is plausible... May only gain small amounts over time anyway.
For someone like me, Im not bothered if my CPU could do 3.6ghz after letting it be run in at 2.4, as i'd rather just have the happy medium of 3ghz and keep with it, and try my hardest to find the lowest possible vcore to run with it, so it is almost barely troubled by doing the 3ghz over the stock 2.4ghz.
I overclocked an old pentium chip 300mhz more from day one, and it is still going strong now (over 6 years ago).
Everyone has their own views, and I completely respect that.
For me, if I blow this chip out, I will just get another and not be so cocky with it! LOL

exact same philosophy as me.
i plan to buy a G0 when x38's comes out, going try to do 3Ghz or 3.1Ghz and settle with it.
what im worried is that with your Zalman 9700, you are getting 60s!! :O i have bought a Zalman 9500 because i was planning on getting a E6600. so my temps are going to be more than 65

Dont forget it was very hot and humid last night thats why I was getting the higher CPU temps.
