Q6600.
I can get 3.8Ghz as well...and do SuperPI 1M 13.718s. 3.6 was just always outta reach (for temp reasons)...this is totally brute force =) Nothing beats a house fan for air cooling

This is totally not usable....the noise from that fan is like a prop plane flying. I just went a little crazy tonight.

I think I am getting bored with 3.2Ghz Q6600 1.33V.

I love the fan. My old P4 with 9800Pro needed that cooling solution for gaming sessions lasting over 1 hour.

Heh, my dad has a 2' wide fan used for circulating air to dry out houses (when building). I always thought about strapping it to the side of my computer for the hell of it.

If you can figure out the ductwork, an automobile heat/circulating fan blows a hell of a lot of air..... :)
