Most Favorable Review

Nothing short of amazing

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 105W None Integrated Graphics Processor - BX80562Q6600

Pros: After updating the BIOS on my motherboard (Gigabyte P35-ds3l) I was able to get this thing up to a modest 3.0GHz @ 1.15V with idle temperatures around 32C on a Freezer 7 Pro. On full load it barely manages to scrape 40C. I might OC further, but this thing's fast enough that there's no need. I've been an AMD guy for years, but I finally jumped ship from an Opteron 170 @ 2.5GHz and this thing just flies. Bravo.

Cons: 45nm Penryn will be out soon, and as such prices will probably drop (good for those who haven't bought it yet). The stock cooler isn't the best, but this thing really doesn't run THAT hot to begin with (so long as you take care of your voltages).

Overall Review: Great processor, I can't tell you how glad I am that I bought it.
