I can't, but a Q6600 would probably overclock to around 3.6GHz with a £15 aftermarket HSF for half the price and run rings around the Q9550 at stock.

Cheers, Slipstreem.


System specs: "Phoenix" - Intel C2D E4500 overclocked to 3GHz with ACF7Pro HSF on Volt-modded ASRock 775Dual-VSTA mobo (modded BIOS rev 3.10A and VNB=1.65, Vagp=1.8), 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 RAM (3.0,3,3,8,1T @546MHz), Sapphire ATI HD3870 512MB GDDR4 PCIe graphics card overclocked to 850MHz GPU & 2.4GHz RAM. Powered by Hiper Type-M 580W PSU. Guess who likes overclocking on a budget.

The Q6600 is a better buy and save you £75.

If you re-use the Zalman HSF you already have, the saving comes closer to £90 and that goes a very long way towards replacing your ageing graphics card with a shiny new HD4850.

If you're a gamer and looking for higher framerates then I'd highly recommend that you try the ATI Tray Tool tweaking thread linked to below my sig before spending any money on anything.

Cheers, Slipstreem.

Looks like it does not support 45nm...

...which would then entail buying a new motherboard which makes the Q9550 even worse value-for-money than it seemed before.

Cheers, Slipstreem.
