Looks like my old MB/CPU has died on me I need to get a new build, I want a quad core. How does the Q6600 compare to i7 920 in these three area:
Performance per cost. Which ones gives the best performance/cost ratio? What is the non-overclocked vs full overclocked?
Power Consumption & Heat: Which one uses the most power and gives out more Heat? How its non-overclocked vs full overclocked?
One main consideration for me is having a cool and quiet CPU/Case. I had very loud setup to keep the CPU cool before but this time I would like CPU that doesn't produce much heat. Also, less power consumptions is great. I will me leaving it on 24/7, so it could save me quite bit of $$. Note, it used to cost my Computer $30 a month to keep on 24/7 according to kill-a-watt meter
Price is another important factor. I think Q6600 wins performance/cost ratio especially due the high $$$ i7 Motherboards. Any thoughts?
