urgent need help intel Q6600 or QX6700

At stock speeds, the 6600 runs at 2.4GHz. The 6700 runs at 2.66Ghz, so it is faster, but only by 10%. Not really worth twice the price. However, you can overclock both of the chips and run them faster, if you were of a mind to do so. As such, you could run the 6600 at 2.66Ghz fairly easy, for all entire purposes making it a 6700.

I say, get the QX6700! If you are too dumb to read the CPU charts for yourself, and/or too rich to care, just get the faster one.

Go for the q6600 unless you want to serious OC.
If you are serious about OC then the q6700 is far better... q6600 kind of sucks to OC; trust me, I wish I bought 6700 but $ dictates life.

thanks all of you guys for help.now i'll go wid Q6600 thanks again.

in many cases the qx6700 is worth the price it will run at higher voltages - since you can get them for $600-$700 on ebay.

The q6600 sometimes will not want to run much faster then 2.8ghz

evey qx6700 i have used runs 3.2-3.3ghz air and 3.4-3.6 on water

i would suggest a q6600 for air cooling under at 3ghz if want more speed then go with the qx6700

if you water cooling then qx6700 for 3.5ghz


voltage is locked on quad cores - qx6700 seems to run faster its a better part

why water cooling? the gpu and overclocking the cpu.

if your running an hd 2900ht or 8800gtx oc or 8800ultra water cooling will lower temps 20c - koolance systems are super easy to set up totally fool proor and work great - way better then tec cooling

if your running a 8800gts go all air cooling and run a q6600

The QX6800 and QX6850 are supposed to stay somewhere in the $1000 range.

okey guys i'v order my pc followed by...and will be arrive coming july-17-tuesday.

Thanks in advance.

OMG are you sure? i ask that salsperson about the power supply he told me it is enough for me.can any body help
which is the best ...w should i buy?
thanks!!

Defenitly That psu Is not even near of what you need for that GPU, you just lost your money in that psu, And for for that CPU and That GPU you need at least 650W power supply of a good brand like

Thernmaltake, OCZ or Corsair Those are very good ones.

thanks for help you guys...okey i'll going to change power supply.but how much watts can i get.
i'll going to add 2 dvd-rw drive
1 sata hdd.
gigabyte liquid cooling-GH-WIU02
and going to over clock cpu.
please help me?
thanks

With the below list in mind, you’re looking at a 650-700 watt PSU. In fact, I’d probably step up to a 750. Who knows when you may want to drop a few HDD’s for a RAID array and a couple more sticks of RAM in it.

Don’t skimp on quality here. Get one with an efficiency rating of 80%+ (85%+ is excellent) and make sure it has Over Voltage Protection. Also remember that larger fans are quieter.


Asus P5k
Q6600
Overclocked-3200MHz
2 sticks DDR2
8800GTX 768MB single card
CD ROM Drive
3-USB devices
1-120mm fan
1-80MM fan
1-56k modem
2-DVD RW Drives
2-Sata HDDs
Keyboard & Mouse
Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra
-Swiftech MCP 655 Pump
-1-Relay
Capacitor aging at 20%

Here’s as good a place to start as any:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 2010320058 +1131414179&name=601+-+700W

Now you will be able to get the QX6700 for the same price as the Q6700 $530 at the end of July and is being discontinued. Since the QX6800 will drop down to $999 and is replacing the QX6700.

thanks i'll go wid 700w.

thanks for your suggestion but let me tell you gigabyte liquid cooling-GH-WIU02 also watter colling system.is it bad.here is the link.

I think the single 120mm radiators kits will not give you the performance a dual 120mm kit like the Swiftech I posted. Especially if you are building a Quad. Keep in mind they will put out double the heat of a dual core. Don't build the BMW's of a PC and add a low end of a cooling system. I am not saying the Gigabyte is bad. It's just not going to cool your Quad efficiently enough. If this system you are building you are planning on keeping for at least 2 years like me. Then it's worth it.

Good luck in your decision. 7 days left and counting till July 22nd price cuts!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks again for help.i'll think about another cooling system then.about price cut it's already began here.i don't have to wait july 22nd.i have to wait tomorrow then tuesday my pricecut cpu will arrive.

So where in the hell have all of my replies gone to?
