Hi, I currently have my Q6700 at 3.6 with my Tuniq and the cost of upgrading to the QX6850 would be about $100. I was wondering what the general consensus was on max stable OC with the QX6850 on air. (ill also be swapping my ram for Mushkin Redlines PC2-8000 2x2GB if that matters any)

So what would you all suggest I do with the QX6850? (already purchased, but not received yet).

Thanks in advance
 
Looks like around 3.7

If my calculations are correct, you just paid $100 for 100Mhz.
 
$100 would be an amazing price for a QX6850. I assume you mean that the difference between what you can get for your Q6700 and what you paid for your QX6850 is $100. Correct?
 
ya, the $100 is the upgrade cost after selling my Q6700 (i already have a buyer if i choose to keep the QX)
 
I doubt you'd get any significant overclocking advantage with the QX6850. I would just sell it off if I were you, and hopefully try to get a higher resell price.
