C2Q Q6600 or Q8400?
OK...so right now I am currently running the Core 2 Quad Q8400 at 2.66Ghz. In a machine that I have in the closet, I have a Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz. I know that I can OC the 6600 to a little over 3 Ghz on stock cooling, no problem. I tried to OC the 8400 up to 3 the other day and got a bios error about a 333Mhz processor being installed and then forced to reboot back into the bios.
My question is: Should I throw the 6600 back in here, or should I stick with the 8400? The question is in terms of which I would get the best performance out of.
My mobo and other specs are listed below.
