if your computer powers on, and it runs windows, i think its working, look up prime95, and open two instances of it to test stability
How long did you let Prime95 run? I'd let it go for a good 12 hours before I'd say it's good to go.
Obviously no more then 6 mins lol.
just out of curiosity how much did u get the q6600 for?
I just looked and there was 3 minutes between the post suggesting Prime95 and his post saying it was good. Minus download and install time, I'm thinking maybe a minute.
I'm putting this in an Antec 300 I bought used also that looks frickin brand new!!!
