Hello,
I just built a new PC with QX9650. This is my very first time OCing, and now trying to overclock my QX9650.
My current setup is:
QX9650 running at 3.6GHZ 11x333 1.30v stable
Asus P5E3 Deluxe Wifi, BIOS 0601
2x 2GB Cosair DDR3 1600 7-7-7-20 2T 1.9v
DRAM Static Read Control...
I just received a receipt email with a tracking number for my QX9650 retail. I ordered from http://www.shopblt.com/cgi-bin/shop/shop.cgi?action=enter&thispage=0110030005019_BN60786P.shtml&order_id=!ORDERID!
I am glad I waited about two weeks, it saved me at least $200 and I get 3 year warranty...
I also ordered one from there. Have been waiting for over two weeks now. ETA used to be 11/16, and now 11/26 and 11/27. I really hope it will be shipped soon. I already have rest of parts sitting in my room doing nothing.

And I am not sure how well it will overclock. If you dont mind not...
Boxed non-extreme Intel CPU warranty will be voided if you overclock. But if I remember correctly, you can overclock core 2 extreme without voiding the warranty.
I can't really wait for it. I would not have time to upgrade my PC after holiday season.:( Besides additional 200MHz makes no difference. Only a small increase in benchmarks.
I just ordered retail one from http://www.shopblt.com/cgi-bin/shop/shop.cgi?action=enter&thispage=0110030005018_BN60786P.shtml&order_id=!ORDERID!
It is not yet in stock but, according to their real-time availability, ETA is 11/16. The price is $1063.42 with free shipping, and no tax ( I live...
Hello,
Retail QX9650 will be available in about 2 weeks, but OEM is already available. Would you wait for retail version or go for OEM? I am not sure if I want to buy over $1000 CPU without good warranty.
I thought retail version would be available on 12th and already purchased mobo, ram...
