qx6850, so far so good

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

Pros: Bought the chip along with a pk5 asus board and a turniq tower (I don't care for water cooling). Have yet to see it go past 40 degrees C and it usually hovers around 31-33 C.

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: I over clocked it to 4.02 ghz, saw no need to go beyond that. Bioshock is already cracked all the way up and I see no slowdown at all. To those that say it runs hot, I can only guess that they are either don't know how to properly set up their system, own poor motherboards, or bad cooling units. Teh chip is made for overclocking and I have yet to see anything approaching the heat that some have mentioned.
