Anyone using the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650?

I've had the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz (OC'd to 3Ghz) for just over a year now, and have been pretty happy with it, but it's getting kind of dated and I have been wanting to see the difference with the 9650.

I've heard of people running the 9650 @ 4Ghz with stock cooling.

Thoughts?

 

p4 crew checking in
cant afford a new one atm

 

dated?
:rofl:

i run a 1.8 p4 :hs:

 

I have a Q9450. It's not OC'ed or anything though.

 

I have the Q6600 I haven't overclocked it yet, I guess I could but I'm too lazy.

 

I'm a whore/nerd like that. h:
I'd buy an extreme if there weren't $1k.


What's that clocked? 2.6? I was looking at those awhile ago, but I want to be in the 4Ghz crew. h:


They oc like cake. What mobo are you running?

 

xplain more bout this OC thing
like what do i need and such

in layman terms pls

 

A decent BIOS is all you really need.

What motherboard/proc do you have?

 

im thinking of changing my set up so this OC thing might be something i'd do

my current setup is an older amd dual core
x4600 or something like that

 

EVGA 750i FTW

I can overclock it myself just too lazy to do it.
