Well, just got to 3.4ghz stable from my Q6600. I can go MUCH higher unstable though, so gonna take a shot of that here in a bit too. Wanna get my stable stuff done first though. :rockout: Hope the screen shot is big enough!

Not too shabby. If you get a better cooler, 3.6GHz should be easy on around 1.5V.

Yeah. I'm running way too hot to up the voltage anymore. Just gonna break it in here for a while and water cool it this summer. I can get 4.0ghz but it's not Prime95 stable for more than 2 seconds. :shadedshu

Yeah, I could get 4GHz on my Q6600, but even on water I couldn't get it stable. It just needed too many volts.

Either way, this thing is considerably faster than anything else I've ever owned. I'm a huge multitasker, and I finally have a computer that keeps up with me. It's crazy. I can't imagine if I had your setup. ;)

I do a lot of encoding, so I saw a nice increase in that with this cpu vs the Q6600, but I'm a huge multi-tasker just like you, and to be honest, in everything but encoding and benching, I can't tell the difference between this cpu, and my Q6600 @ 3.6GHz (my 24/7 settings). That quad will serve you plenty well enough. Even 3.6GHz wouldn't really feel any different to you.

I was a big ATI man back for the last 10 years or so, and this is my first NVIDIA card. :rockout:

I couldn't afford the 3700X2! :(

Just recently I tried out the red team, 2600XT 512MB ddr3, well i was disappointed. Highly disappointed. The card I bought, the backside ram chips burned up overnight, the first night I had it. I also am so used to nVidia's control panel and the normal tweaking.

I decided to hold off with my crossfire until HD4x's.

Believe it or not, this is my first NV card since the TNT days.

Cold Storm, when your Palit card comes in, let me know, we'll throw the 1.1V BIOS on it for a little more headroom. Oh, and not sleeping is no excuse for low overclocks. I wanna see 4GHz out of that thing, yesterday. lol.
