Errr...OK, whatever.Anyway...this case here is mih real hoss too.This beauty will allow my components to 'stretch out' and finally optimise airflow. Of course with liquidcooling on everything, airflow will be less of a problem, but we shall see how de funds running 'for de Christmas'.
My primary reason for using the Q9300 in the 1st place was because of the extra heat outputof the B3 stepping Q6600 I used before. The G0 version was not widely available at the time,so I went with what was available and affordable. What's the 'crime' in that?I am fully aware it does not OC as well as the G0 Q6600, as some results on this very forum will attest to. So what? All that in it.It is that very diversity in components and results that can guide others when they want to upgrade. You yourself phoenix,seem to forget that it was on my recommendation and mini-review, that you decided to get the same Asus P5Q-E that yourrig now sports.OK, so my CPU is not yielding the performance numbers that I would like, but again so what? It has served me without fault,and I see no other reason to upgrade other than to 'beat score' or have 'the best rig'. Especially with Corei7 around the corner....and IsMe2003...nice work. Its plain to see that the G0 Q6600 is making all the difference there, but tell me though, can you achieve thatOC on air cooling?
