i'll get one too within the next weeks - but first i need to update my P5W64 and see if i need a new mobo too...

here, you will find pretested cpus up to 3.6 GHz:

Thank you, that's interesting.

Can you run the benchwell scene? I would like to know the benchmark.

Can anyone tell me of a supplier who will guarentee that you get G0 stepping with the Q6600. Newegg won't. All of the Q6700's have G0, but they cost twice as much.

I agree with Brian about the Swiftech heat sinks.

Great !

What about the loudness of your system? Is it quiet while rendering when you work beside the computer or is it too loud therefore?

And what cpu-fan do you use? A Zalman 9700?

Thank you again.

...if you use the "negative-pressure-method", you can build super silent pcs
just go for silent components (psu+fans)!

for sealing the case (makes it cool AND quiet):

hmm, my quadcore shows stepping F and the revision field is ghosted in cpu-z. What's up with that?

I've oc'd mine to only 3.0ghz - but would like to creep it a little higher!
