Thats a nice q6600, you might be able to get a record out of it. Just put that bish on a benchtable, grab some 120mm fans, and maybe a house fan, and get CPU-z running and start getting 4.5+Ghz. q6600's can sometimes do 4.8Ghz well i dont know the records but ive seen a guy on overclock.net that has a verification at 4.6ish Ghz with a q6600 .

You could go down another 780i-790i ultra from Zotac on newegg thats like 100 bucks.

Or get a Ep45-ud3p motherboard,(ive done 2190FSB) and clock that q6600 to its knee's and maybe you can take a gamble and hack sli like i did ;D.

My q9550 does 0.992 volts for 3.0Ghz 24/7 stability. Pretty impressed with my voltage scaling.

I'm satisfied with the performance I'm getting out of this machine as is, so I'll wait until the next gen Intel socket processors come out in a year or two before I upgrade.
