Outstanding 775 Chip!,
I decided to upgrade my E6600 before jumping to Windows 7 this week. The results are amazing. Temps run around 90 degrees F with a Thermaltake MozartTX case (w extra fans) and a Thermaltake hi rise CPU cooler at full load and less than room temperature at idle!
The main advantage for me was in the encoding speed. I regularly use my PC to encode movies for my Archos 7. With the E6600 I was able to encode full resolution h.264 movies at 1250kbps at 25fps using Handbrake. The Q9650 encodes at 98fps. Simply amazing. A good quick drop-in upgrade for those looking to hold off on a i7 upgrade.

|Very Fast,
Slapped this chip in a 790i with a Swiftech GTZ water block. It’s a lot faster, and cooler then my Q6600, got it stable up to 4.3ghz

|Great upgrade,
Great if you have a 775 pin mother board and you want a fast quad core without upgrading your whole system to an I5 or I7 set up.However thats the only scenario where this c.p.u. makes sense, as for the price you can get a much better c.p.u. for the new mother boards types.
In my case I had an ageing dual core that wasn’t performing to well on the latest games but I didn’t want to buy a new mother board + ram + c.p.u. and go through the hassle of reinstalling two versions of windows plus all my programs.So I just popped this in and was away running in 5 mins.All games run great now and was easy to overclock from standard 3 Ghz to 3.6 Ghz on standard cooler.
So highly reconmended for an upgrade but not at all for a new system.
