Like I said before why would I want to spend EVEN MORE money ? I just had my ass handed to me and now I should be looking at getting a Q9650 ? no I will give this one more try then if this one doesn't work I am done I will be KEEPING the Q66600 as it is a prove CPU has not ever given me a problem one and I can rely on it . All this BS about getting the Q9550 and even spending more on a Q9650 is not going any were . It is going to take weeks till I see the fing thing come back to me I hope if and when I do see a new one that it is going to be a good one but well who really knows ? I am not expecting a thing nothing at all that will compare to the Q6600 . That was a nightmare and every day I think about it I get that much more disenchanted about the Q9550 .
I had to reflash my bios for one ( Just to get the thing to work ) once I did that it was good for 2 restarts then I had to fuck with it to get it to boot up even at stock settings . Boot time was horrendous ! 2-3 min Just to get out of the Fucking BIOS ??? Great speed on that chip ! Temps in Bios 45C!! Under WATER cooling !!! Once I managed to get the CPU to post up it was glitchy at best ! Slow and the feel was like strange . So I should now go with a Q9650 ? This will net me higher clock speeds ? WTF ??
I couldn't even get this pos to run and it cost me $307 bucks ! now I need to put down more cash to get what ? What the hell am I going to get with the Q9650 that the Q9550 did not just give me ?
No I am all ready scared that the next one is going to be just like the first one and well that is not some thing that makes me want to run out and put more cash out for some thing that might net me more clock speed . DUDE I couldn't fucking get the Q9550 to run for SHIT !
in the first place !
What I need to know is WHY ? if this Q6600 is smooth as glass and clocking 60% over it's rated speed why the hell wont a Q9550 run in this setup and why the hell the nightmare ? that chip that sweet ass Q9550 was not so sweet now was it ? so now take even more cash and put it out on a maybe chance that this one will work the Q9650 ? I don't think so !
Thank you but I think I have had my nuts kicked one too many times
and I don't need any one
.
or at least do the shipping thing or ask them to reimburse your shipping and show them these threads to show how disapointed you are
