Im just curious cause im just about to get a q6600 for this old pc that i ofc intend to overclock.
I know its computer to computer with this but let me just start off with the rig.
Mobo: Asus P5K
RAM: 4x2gb 800mhz RAM
GPU: GT 730 GDDR5 OC version clocked at 1006, i got it to 1100Mhz.
400W PSU
Now before you tell me to check the PSU requirement i already did. I bought the G0 version so that wont be a problem. The calculator recommended me 370W (with the cpu clock at 3.0Ghz) with all of the things i have.
Now to give you a perspective. I got my E6750 to 3Ghz with the max temp not going above 69C after stressing it for 20 minutes, the max is 72C so i could go even further. Now im planning to get the Q6600 up to 3Ghz if not maybe 2.8Ghz.
The C2D scores 130 stock and 150 on 3Ghz on Cinebench R15 so it is working.
