shiver_8 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Both good choices shiver_8, you'd probably get higher clocks from the E8600, but for work, simultaneous tasks and music or video decoding the Q9650 will be a great choice, and is a great overclocker to, but possibly not as high as the E8600? With either I think you'd be happy! I think I'm leaning more towards the Q9650 just because of the future-proofing it has with future games being multithreaded. However if it were just up to OC'n I'd get the E8600. Sadly I don't have the money to buy a nice watercooling loop so it would probably clock only another few hundred mhz than my E8400. I have seen guys getting there Q9650's to 4.5ghz no problems though, so that will be something to look forward to :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
