So I have this ageing q6600 G0. When I first got it a couple of years ago, I tried OCing it with a Artic Freezer 7. When I couldn't get it past 2.7, I came to find out I was unlucky and got one with a terrible vid. I just ordered a Silver Arrow in hopes to get to 3.2 stable. Will I be able to get there even with a bad vid q6600? I'm running the tried and true p5q pro in a lan li case with decent air flow. I'm hoping this massive beast of a HS will get me there.
Also, 4 gigs of ddr 1066, an intel ssd, and a bottle necked 1g gtx cyclone 460: do I have enough to through to the next gen of intels? I'm hoping to skip the i7s if I can.
Thanks in advance for the advise.
