e8400 vs q6600

das müffin mann · Jan 31, 2008

hello all i am deciding between these two processors, for my next upgrade and i am torn
i will be doing a lot of gaming, and i am going to school for game design which will require a lot of rendering, would the quad be better for that or would a higher end dual core be able to handle a higher work load

quad @ 3 ghz

or dual @ 4ghz.
I've seen the e8400 run @ 5.7 ghz man. I won't think the quad can do that. Plus you get more L2 cache. Imo the dualcore at 4.4, which is reasonable oc can obliterate the quad at 3.6 which is like the max you will get under normal circumstances.

the 8400 go that high now ... gimmia link

dude what are you on for real :shadedshu

5.7GHz come on thats has to be on ln2 or some high end cooling and 4.4GHz maybe on high end air or mid to high water for 24/7 but the 45nm Cpus arent meet to take high volts 24/7 and whats wrong with the lower Q's that are going to come out they should OC the same or close to the dual core's

I would wait das müffin mann for the Q's more futureproof

and BullGod when are you going to fill out your System Specs :rolleyes:

BullGod · Jan 31, 2008

Well here it is at 4.6 on air: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=305906

You get the picture...

Demos_sav · Jan 31, 2008

I saw a review somewhere where because of the 8400's overclockability the q6600 was beaten

Scrizz · Jan 31, 2008

didn't trt have a quad xeon 3210 at 4GHz@1.2v on air?

DOM · Jan 31, 2008

wow a CPU-Z Validator wheres does it show its on air and if is even a 24/7 clock or just for benching

I was talking about watercooling man. You probably won't get an e8400 at 4.4 stable on air alone. Although check the link I just posted. If it goes up to 4.6 on air it should work just fine at 4ghz. And he wasn't talking about upcoming processors, did you read the title of this topic? He wanted to know which was the better processor between these two. I just stated my opinion. I'm gonna fill my system specs when I will finally find a good job and buy a new system. As it is now it is of no interest to anybody... :shadedshu

Quad core take my vote anytime. I do a lot of photoediting and quad core will perform better.

v7100 · Jan 31, 2008

It might just stable enough for a SS. :nutkick:

Well I don't think I ever implied it was stable. You want more proof and more solid tests. I didn't want to post a link to another forum. But here you have it. If you don't believe me fine, go in that forum with your shitty attitude and tell that dude he is full of bullshit.

naw i think good water setup can get 4.6GHz but like I said high volts are not good for 24/7 oh the new chips I would try to stay below 1.4v

[I.R.A]_FBi · Jan 31, 2008

a cpu-z screenie doesnt tell me if its air water or gas .. or how stable it is ...

Well here is the world record at 5.460 Ghz. The dude I've seen got it up to 5.7 but he couldn't validate it or run any tests as it was highly unstable. Happy now folks? Or you want to tell me that a chip which goes up to 5.4 Ghz won't work stable at 4.4?

well now i get why you dont know what your talking about cuz you base your info off benching not 24/7 settings

whats the point of that wow I can get 4.5+GHz but the point is are you going to be running it the same every day

"shitty attitude" Me naw just im here to help, cuz not cpus oc the same

Now will you people leave me alone and go talk to that italian guy overthere?

trog100 · Jan 31, 2008

the e8400 will run cooler at 4 gig air cooled than the quad will at stock.. mine is now running 24/7 at a nice cool 1.3 vcore..

but fast cool dual or slower hotter quad.. depends exactly what u do..

i chose the dual.. but i know i dont run software optimized for quad.. so its easy for me..

Do you even read posts in this thread or you just come up with your random thing? The point is that if you wanna make people go wow you bench at over 5Ghz like the world record.(Like in the link I've posted) If you want to run it "safely" every day, like any good ocer like you would, you can do it at 4 Ghz. Happy now? I think that's still faster than a q6600...

BullGod · Jan 31, 2008

Here. Now all you people can go bash Paulieg because he is claiming he got his e8400 stable at 4.3.
