WTB:Faster Intel Quad Core

[markallen]

Just as the title says.I am looking to buy an Intel Quad Core processor.I am already running a Q6600 and I would like it to buy atleast a Q9450.No heatsink needed since I am running water cooling now.

Thanks,
Mark

Q9550? Most do 4GHz

Yeah a Q9550 would do just fine..

I'll take the Q6600 of your hands?
And how much are you selling the Q9550 for?

I dont realy see the point in going from a Q6600 to a Q9550,you might aswell wait or save up for a bit and buy a I7 and new motherboard + ram combo.

you can get the Q6600 to 3.5-3.6 maybe more with water cooling.

you probably wouldnt tell much diff between 3.6 -4ghz other than in benchmarks.

but good luck finding a seller if you realy want a Q9550

I'm sure someone has one and wants to sell it and upgrade to an I7..

I'm thinking of also selling my Q6600, Im running it at 3.5GHz, has been to 4GHz, but im looking for a Q9550 / Q9560, I know most do 4GHz 24/7 on air, and the Q9650 even higher, just have to wait for price drops on the retailers, Intel dropped the prices on the 18th/19th.

Newegg has the Q9650 for $349.How did you get your Q6600 to 4 GHz?I'm at 3.4 GHz for now..
