I've acquired the following CPU for not a lot of money and after some hardware tweaking and a little help from the Forum I've got the temperature down from a "Dangerous" 81°C to a much healthier 56°C on full load.
The only thing is, what CPU is it? It was sold to me as a Q9100 yet this is an Extreme CPU. Its Quad core, has a base of 2.26GHz but seems to turbo up to 2.51GHz when put under decent pressure. Its not an Extreme Quad QX9300 and with 5 different programs trying to decipher its name I'm stumped. When I go to Intel to recognise my CPU it has no idea. XTU can't recognise my CPU Platform and cpu-world.com doesn't have a QX9100 listed. Anyone any ideas?
