It's quite a lot, as I have the same CPU - Q6600 G0 - and no problems at 3.33 GHz with 1.2375V (default is 1.2V).

Hey mojo, just out of interest, how much did you pay for your PC (excluding the TFT moniter and other aditional items)?

Where abouts did you get it from, because im looking to get something very similar but its more expensive then that price. Did you buy all the parts seperately?

ah ok. I was planning to get my PC from www.pcspecialist.co.uk, but they do the building for you. I rekon i could put together a PC on my own with a bit of help, but id rather not have the risk. PCspecialist do have some really cheap deals going - cheapest custom built PCs ive ever seen online if your not going to build it yourself.

thanks for the info Mojo
