QX6850 and Mach 2 GT

[satman]

Just putting together a parts list for my up coming upgrade.

Looking at changing my DH board to a P5K3 Deluxe

and possibly upgrading from an x6800 to a Qx6850.

Do you think my Gt will handle the extra wattage of the new processor or will i need to spend some money on my GT to have it regassed and a chilly1 fitted.

Thanks

I'm quite surprised the GT is handling the 6800 as it is - with a 6850 at 3ghz (stock) I'm pretty sure you would be looking at a recharge and new head to make the most of it.
