Default New Q9550

I decided to buy a Q9550 with some extra cash and sold my E8500 to my dad.
I'm loving the quad so far, it's incredible for media. Even though the only game I've noticed a real difference on was GTA IV, I'm still in love with it.

I didn't take any pics because I was too excited to throw it in, but I'll have some quick OC CPU-Z shots soon enough. Currently running at 4.25 GHz at 1.375v, prime stable for an hour. Beats my E8500 clock/voltage ratio already.

Wasn't stable 4.25GHz @ 1.375v for more than an hour or so. Needs at least 1.4v to be stable for 12 hours or more at 4.25GHz. I'm just going to run it at 4GHz until I find more time to tinker with it.
