Atleast he didn't say you were blowing hot air, just cold liquid :heh:

I guess my e8500 running at 4Ghz isn't quite as impressive.

what do you bust in your computer?

huh?

I've never done more than a 600mhz overclock. That was on an AMD 939 3500 Venice. 2.2 to 2.8. If I find myself rolling in dough 4 months from now or so, I might try out the CPU in that video. I like the cost of the Phenom II. My memory may be failing me. I just googled overclocking results for the 3500 Venice, and it seems most people couldn't even hit 2.7. I definitely wasn't hard core, so maybe I was wrong.

Right now my Q6600 is running at 3.6GHz... and my CPU temps are hovering around 25 degrees Celcius.

But what happens when you move the computer indoors? ;)

The computer is indoors actually (and not near an open window). The CPU is being cooled by a Cool-It Freezone Elite (http://www.coolitsystems.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=5) cooler (self-contained liquid cooler that also chills the coolant.
