Getting rid of QX6700 - what shall I get?

[charlie-j]

Hey

Buying a QX6700 was a waste of money considering I won't even be using it for overclocking... I don't even know why I bought it.

I want a similarly good CPU... the Q6600 will be the same.

What do you think?

If I get more money for the QX6700 than the cost of the new one, I am happy to change my budget.

Thanks for your time

Charlie.

Hmmmmm!!!!!!!

Are you selling it to us? PM me with price :O

I am selling my QX6700, if I don't do a swap with another forum member!

What else should I get that's similar performance but a lower cost?

Why not just stick with what you have? You are going to lose money on selling the chip second hand, and to buy another CPU with similar performance seems a bit cuckoo to me

Well... I don't really know how to overclock

Well... I don't really know how to overclock

Learn man! Learn!

First spend a couple of hours reading the stickies on this forum and then spend a while tinkering and then ask us any questions you might have

Ok, I'll try my best, but first I need some watercooling http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=26611&highlight=watercooling

Q6600 is similiar

Should have never got that QX6700 if you weren't overclocking. Hell shouldn't have got it as I think it didn't let you overclock that much further than the Q6600 unless you were on crazy cooling

 

[charlie-j]

Yeah I know, I don't know why I got it. Looking for watercooling now.
