    Haha, no GM I don't want to buy your Q6600. All my Q6600s have done fine with 3.6Ghz on air, so yeah. :)

    I think the cap out on air for the Q6600 B3s was 3.2Ghz. So with a TRUE you're only looking at a extra 200mhz. You've done well on a B3. 3Ghz Quad core is plenty powerful though. Have fun doing what you do.

    I personally don't do crap on my computers. SO it doesn't benefits me either way lol.

    I still wouldn't say no to a 3.2Ghz Q6600! lmao Then again, doesn't the B3 get hotter than the G0 at the same speed?

    YES!! and it doesn't OC as well. ;) Like I said with better cooling and air flow I think that I could get 3.2, maybe even 3.3, but there's NO way I'm going any higher with this setup. lol. ;) I don't care what anyone says the ACF7 Pro does NOT cool nearly as well as the TRU!!! I may get another TRU or TRUE later but a Q6600 running at about 2.8GHz is plenty good. hehehe. :D

    Methinks my 49C @ 2700rpm / 40dB versus 43C @ 1000rpm / 22dB confirms that... :p

    You lost me there Maynard!!! :p Do I need to go to your "profile" to see what you're going on about or are you speaking in hypothetical terms again??? hehehe. ;P Of course you could be talking about some testing you did a while back and if you mentioned it... I've slept since then.... ;)

    oh and btw... the Royal British Post hasn't shown up yet... dang they're slow!!!! :p Kinda dreading it really.... cause I'm gonna do a fresh install of XP when it gets here. lol. :D

    Hmm, that's a bit crap... I'll have to ring em up and find out where it is at some point.
    As for the numbers, I was listing the temperatures I got with the freezer 7 Pro versus the Ultra-120A, accompanied by the fan speeds required and subsequent noise level.

    OH!!! Well your testing temperature wise should be about spot on. lol. ;) NOW your testing method with sound is a bit "archaic" hehehe. ;P I actually bought the ACF7 Pro with all the "good" reviews and it's a bit disappointing really. NOT a bad cooler at all but I guess I'm a bit spoiled using 2 different TRU models and getting such good temps. ;) I may have to install a CM-TX2 onto the AMD and move the TRU-90 to the Q6600 and see what happens. :) Whatchu think there Sammy???? :D

    edit: fixed cooler blunder.... ;)

    Not really, I'm going by the recorded SPL of the freezer 7 Pro and the Nexus 120mm fan I use on my Ultra-120 as recorded by SilentPCReview.

    The Freezer 7 Pro is a good 90mm cooler, but for a B3 Quad core, you need a Tower cooler if you want it overclocked, no more can be said on the matter. The Ultra-90 may fare a little better than the F7P, but not much, you should really look at an Ultra-120, IFX-14, NH-U12 or Ninja for that CPU.

    agreed.... <<< don't you hate that?? lol.

    I've looked at the IFX-14 and I have the Ultra-120, so either one of those would do nicely but I'm still NOT against just running the thing at 2.8GHz for a while. ;) Of course creaky runs his bone stock and loves it so I'm sure I could live with mine at 2.8GHz.. :p

    greensman,
    I don't know what sammy thinks, but that would be some slip job, as you can't put an AF7-Pro on an AMD! ROFLMAO!!

    Didn't think anyone would notice that... hehehe. Almost got it buy you lot. :p

    I've got another cpu heatsink I can try on the AMD only if I can find the 775 socket hardware for the Ultra-90.... ;)

    In all honestly it's only for bragging rights. lol. NOT like I can TRU-ly keep up with these guys anyway. ;)

    you for one.. Mr. stick it at 3.4GHz and see what she'll do... hehehe. :p I'm to "conservative" by nature to do that and I'm also to poor to toast a cpu trying to Out Clock someone else. lol. Just not my style. :p

    I have an old Celeron and Core 2 duo at 1.5Ghz right now :p

    Got my new build components boxed up still. This one is going to leave me in a few days anyway.

    The guy wanted to see if I could OC it to 3.4Ghz. I said I would try. It's got 8GB of RAM lol.
