[paininlife]

hi guys, as u guys are very well aware of Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 ,tbh i am not very well aware of it, i havnt seen this CPU arnd much,WHY? i mean i have seen benchies comparing Q9650 Q9550 with i7 920 but why thy dnt compare it with QX9770 ,becuase as i can see, its faster thn those two, thn why we dont see this cpu arnd that much as 9550 and 9650? another thing i observed is that its not avable with many retailers even with OcUK, and many in other countries, doesnt it hav more overclocking potential thn Q9650, and as i can see QX 9770 wil beat i7 920?

Yes the extreme cpus do have better oc potential as multiplier is not locked. But for that, you pay double the price.

theres no doubt its a great CPU but for close to £1000 when released has been overtaken by CPUs under £200...basically it isnt needed anymore!!
