Q8200 or Q6600? Hi.... i just found a couple of guys selling these two Quad Core Processors. The guy who is selling Q8200 is from out of City and the one who is selling Q6600 G0 Stepping is from same City. We have a local Gaming Community Forum and both of these guys have Positive Trade Scores so it's nothing to worry about but now im confused about these 2 models of processors. I googled and read that Q6600 are better in Performance but they generate more heat, consume more power and has better cache where the Q8200 generate less heat and consume less power but has low cache and multiplier etc. Also im not a OverClocker and im gonna run it on Stock just like im running my E5200 on stock.. never OC'd it and i need to buy make a deal from one of them today so can you guys suggest me which option i should go for? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit CPU Intel Core2Quad Q6600 G0 Stepping Motherboard ASUS P5G41T-M LX Memory Corsair Value Select 4GBx2 DDR3 (8GB) Dual-Channel Graphics Card XFX Radeon HD 6850 Black Edition 1GB GDDR5 Sound Card Built-In Realtek HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays Samsung 933BW Plus LCD (DVI) Screen Resolution 1440x900 Keyboard A4Tech X7 G800 Mouse A4Tech X7 XL-747H (3600dpi) PSU Cooler Master GX-550W 80 Plus Bronze Case Pasaris Matt Black Tower (Chinese) Hard Drives WD Caviar Blue 500GB SATA III 16MB Cache 7200-RPM (WD5000AAKX) Internet Speed 2MB Cable Broadband Other Info A4Tech HS-800 Gaming Headset | ASUS 18x DVD-RW (LightScribe) | Seagate 40GB IDE w/USB Enclosure | TP-Link TL-WR740N Router | SVC 1.2KVA Uninterruptible Power Supply | XBOX 360 Go Pro 60GB w/VGA Cable |

I'd opt for the Q6600, just 'cause I'm an OC enthusiast - it would reach higher speeds easily.
I'd simply OC the Q6600 to 3.0GHz with a 1333 FSB, but as you don't plan on doing any overclocking,
just go for the Q8200 as it will run cooler than the Q6600; especially if you plan to use stock cooling. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom/DIY OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel C2D E8400@4Ghz OC Motherboard ASUS P5Q-E, bios 2101 Memory 4x2GB Kingston HyperX 8500@1066Mhz Graphics Card Nvidia GTS450 OC Sound Card Onboard SoundMax Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Syncmaster 17" Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Mouse Gigabyte M6900 PSU Corsair TX-750 V2 Case Custom Tower Cooling Air: Arctic Cooling 2xF8 & F12; Akasa AK-968, 2xAK-HD-BL Hard Drives WD6402AAEX-640GB(system), WD10EALX-1TB(storage), other external disks & docking stations Internet Speed 10M/1M |

Absolutely, if you're getting the Q6600 - get G0 as it's the revised stepping that is more efficient.
G0 has a higher thermal specification: 72C as opposed to 60C, a lower TDP: 95W as compared to 105W for the B3 & they run at a lower voltage overall. This leads to lower temps and better overclocking capabilities.
