Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 - Core 2 Extreme Kentsfield Quad-Core 3.0 GHz LGA 775 130W Processor - BX80562QX6850

Pros: Combined with Gigabytes x38-dq6 the multiplier is unlocked to an extent I'm unwilling to go. Immediatly clocked to 1600mhz FSB and set it to 9x (3.6ghz) and runs completely stable.

Cons: Runs warm, but even on stock cooling with artic silver 5 this runs nowhere near red zone.

Overall Review: If you are going to get an overclockable processor, don't skimp on the motherboard nor the memory.
