The Q6600 won't have a new stepping as what I read: http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=c...0&Itemid=35

Actually, I don't have links but the Q6600 will have a G0 stepping, although it won't be released till the price cuts apparently. Places won't guarantee which stepping you'll get though as it'll all be mixed, tankguys is specificing G0 though. There are some threads at XS with people with E6600 G0 ES'es.

I'm inclined to believe that there is a G0. ;) Hehe...Fudzilla...fud...get it get it? :p Yeah..okay..not funny.

..but yeah, try shying away from Fudzilla though, not very solid information at times there. Some of it's real, but there are some things there posted primarily to garner attention from people and because of that alone, I would discount them as a news source.

Ok Guys I have narrowed my selection on which Air Cooling I want. Of the Three, Which one would you guys Recommend For my Q6600. Also I was wonder will I be able to use this Air Cooling when I get my 45nm Quad-Core?

Here is my Selections:

Thermaltake V1 - CL-P0401 (Good)

Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme (Good)

Tuniq Tower 120-LFB (Good)

Which One?

THx Alot guys!

P.S. Fusion

Good Gwai Lo, Thanks, I didn't know.

But no Fudzilla isn't a bad source, Fud = Fuad Abazovic the owner.

45nm = less heat

Get the Termalright, it's the best right now.

As Nienor said, the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme is currently "the best heatsink", so I would go for that. Just remember that you have to pick up your own 120mm fan because it does not come with one. Also, it will work fine for the 45nm Quad-Core because they use the same socket.

I know who owns it and he doesn't exactly have the best name ( *cough* rydermark *cough* ) Guess it's just opinion.

Someone don't like Fuad and made a trap, what else?
