my friend has agreed to trade me for my e8400 for a quad
He needs a dual (gaming) i need a quad (F@H); whats a fair trade?

Q6660 ?

thanks!

 

[Markfw]

Pretty close in value, Q6600 = ~180-210, E8400, $180-190

no depends on the quad.

G0? B3?

Which is it?

And how well does your dual do? is it a 4.0 hitter? Whats the VID?


If you look at both not overclocked, then yeah, the quad is a much better deal, however look at the overclocking potential in both.

Sorry B3's dont stack up. And a Good E8400 would own almost any kentsfield quad in almost anything you did.

What do you need the quad for?

How does the wolfdale OC on air?

I fold at home 24/7
The E8400 runs 68ºc max at 3.7 ghz on the stock cooler
He's just giving me $200 for any cpu i want

Stock voltage for 3.7? I'm trying to guage what kind of wolfdale you have there, before I endorse the deal.

If it's 3.7 @ stock voltage....aftermarket HSF should get you to 4.0, in the 1.2-1.3v range. After that it'd be a crap shoot, varying wildly between chips.

i had it at 4ghz but that was before the temps in the room hit 100ºF (no ac in that room)
I like staying around 70ºc on full load

no contest. The quad wins in all grounds then.

I just saw E8400's selling for $185 on newegg; if he's just giving you money why doesn't he just buy one himself?

because he is a good friend and knows that if i get better F@H performance from a quad then he would rather have me run that

Plus he KNOWs that he is getting an awesome e8400, just look at how far it OC's

Err 3.7 is an awesome OC on a E8400? :Q

On another note.....65nm....ewwwww! :thumbsdown:

well its actually 4ghz in normal room temps (70ºF ish) i had to turn it down to 3.7 because of that room having no AC

i thought it was good for a stock cooler

Sorry..

dualcore ALWAYS 100000000000000000000000000000000% will lose to a quadcore on F@H.

Dont underestimate DC people for points.

Grab the quadcore. Your friend is doing you a service.

alfa being a fellow DCer, im with you on this trade 100% grab the quad.

F@H, get the Q66
