I have on my desk right now a QX6700 ready and waiting to be put in.

Can you update me when installed please
My x6800 @3.5 32c idle, was going to sell it but may keep it now.

Ya sure no problem.
Question for you, are you using speedstep?


Something I need answering as to be honest with you guys I've never done this but, would I need to re-install my OS going from a X6800 to a QX6700?

Only reason im getting one is because i'm paying a little after selling my X6800 >_<.

this is the core temp, after a few hours the temps slowly rise ans settle to
46-47

is your core temp 32 seems a bit low
