I was in desperate need of a new computer as I was on a 5 year old laptop before and my friend was nice enough to basically let me have his old system which is still pretty decent by today's standard in my opinion as I don't do any hardcore rendering just Gaming and the computer runs the game I play on ultra with 60 fps all day but I want to overclock it a little bit to be able to stream decently without too much trouble and the Q6600 from what I understand should be able to OC to about 3ghz pretty stable on just Air.
my only dilemma is that the CPU happens to be a B3 instead of the good G0 which after testing seems to not heat up as much as some people's does but it still gets pretty hot.
I'm on a Asus p5q turbo mainboard
and using a Copper zerotherm heatsink
PSU is a cooler master450w so that shouldn't be a problem. This processor really needs to hit 3ghz to be viable in my opinion and I get mixed opinions if it could actually hit that since its a B3. Any ideas? Should I get a new Cooling option and try or you think it'll be highly possibly to hit 3ghz with it like it is?
