FS:Intel Q6600 CPU

markallen · 03-29-2008, 02:18 AM

I am selling my Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 along with a Intel box cooler that came with a E6750.I am selling this in order to buy a E8400.I do alot of gaming and I was told the E8400 would be better for gaming than the Q6600.
$190 shipped.

You can't be serious... Yes the E8400 stock will be a bit better at gaming since it has a faster clock speed, however the Q6600 is a great overclocker.

Why or why though are you downgrading from a quad core to a dual core? In the not too distant future more games will utilize quad cores.

i wouldn't call it a downgrade because the e8400 can actually OC higher. it can generally get 3.6ghz without even touching the voltages or additional cooling, while that speed is almost the top-off for the q6600

I wouldn't do it, that to me is like trading in a Yukon for a Tahoe

. If it was me, I'd wait on a new gen of intel CPU's. Or see how the Q9450 turns out.

Anyway, if you sell it, good luck!

If he was buying a new one, sure then it may be better, but were talking about selling a Q6600 in order to buy an E8400.

Sorry to hijack your thread, lol.

Selling that processer is a big regret. In a year yes the E8400 2 duo will be faster at games, did you ever think in the future that Games be using quad core then you be running minium specs with your duo

By the time multi-threading reaches its peak, it'll be time for a new processor anyway.
