get the q6600 i twill over clock to the same max then the q6700 because its basically the same chip. or change it to 9xxx quad core series because by then there might be a price drop.

^The only difference is that you will need a lower FSB to get to the same clock on the Q6700 than on the Q6600.

wait... i always thought the q6700 had higher overclocking potential..you know.. because it had a higher multi, therefore, you can reach a higher overall clock? |

OC'ing a Quad to 4,0ghz is insanity, you'll need liquid cooling atleast to manage that,

How can that be? With Q6600 people get to 3.6GHZ on air so with the Q6700 its supposed to be a lot more... |

^Although the Q6700 has a higher multi both are on the same Kentsfield core. There for both OC about the same. 4Ghz on a Quad is virtually impossible without liquid cooling. Both the Q6600 and the Q6700 would OC the same amount (3.2-3.6Ghz) --------------- E2180 @3.2Ghz + P35DS3L +8400GS (700/475 OC) ![]() |

How much voltage can you have without destroying your CPU? is 1.5 ok? |

1.5v is still ABSOLUTE voltage you should use. It is the point where physical damage to the CPU happens. For 45nm CPUs it is 1.45v. --------------- E2180 @3.2Ghz + P35DS3L +8400GS (700/475 OC) ![]() |

So what is the stock voltage? I need the cpu for another 3-5 years... It need it to last... Also how high can i go with this rig without inflicting serious damage? |

Max voltage for a 45nm is about 1.35-1.4v. For 65nm it's about 1.4v. Download CoreTemp and look under VID. That is your stock voltage. --------------- E2180 @3.2Ghz + P35DS3L +8400GS (700/475 OC) ![]() |
