45nm quads didn't exist when I bought the board. Infact, 45nm didn't exist when I bought it. I originally owned a Q6600.

Oh. Why did you switch then? The 6600 was a good CPU.

The Q6600 went out for whatever reason and the Q9550 was on sale. I bought it because I was aware of the upgrades I was doing later on.

Oh. I see.
I already have my AM3 mobo and I don't even have a CPU for it yet. It just sits there in the box until my next paycheck.

How much do you have to underclock?

 

[Grantofhell]

I wasn't so lucky. The CPU died and had to be returned so I could buy the replacement.

Huh. Never hear of defective CPU's anymore.
How long did it last?

 

[Grantofhell]

7-8 Months. Then again, I was pushing it very hard. in the 4GHz region. The G0 stepping just doesn't go /that/ far.

 

[foothead]

And they replaced it?
I thought intel did nothing if you OC'ed.

 

[Ronspc]

haha you thread jacked this one too boys lol.

 

[Grantofhell]

I didn't have it replaced through Intel. TigerDirect took it back.

EDIT: I wouldn't call this one a "thread jack". He's the OP...

 

[foothead]

LOL exactly. I jacked my own thread.
Now it's time to sue myself

So tigerdirect takes it back after 8 months if you burnt it out by OCing?
I think I am gonna buy my 955 there then.
