Conroe's / Allendales do like to give you free speed due to how cold they run. You should be able to get 3.5GHz out of that E6600 on air cooling no sweat with a good mobo.

Oh and welcome to the C2D owners club CrC-3rr0r. They really are blindingly quick chips!
Indeed Indeed.

Thanks for the welcome feels good already pity I'm currently neglecting my C2D - I guess I'm back on the o.c. warpath - new gear to follow - have been reading up and 2b honest the E6400 was not that a bad choice.

Came across this rig : One for Zingle to drool over
