For lack of a better word........ Holy crap! NAS:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU @ 2.66GHz stepping : 7 cpu MHz : 2394.203 cache size : 4096 KB Intel Core2 Extreme CPU QX6700 2.66/8M/1066 SL9UL A q6700 should work fine. There are going to be cooling issues but yes, it boots. Its running about 30% hotter than the core2quad but the fan is maxing out accomplishing that. I'm nuts and I won't run this chip.

There's got to be a heat-sink and fan out there up for the challenge of bringing down the temp on the q6700. Having the q6700 working without the temp issue would be perfect!! I am already on the case and will be posting back a reply if i get anywhere with this- otherwise its the E6700 for me :( Has anyone else got any experience with cooling cpu's - more a question for the hard-core overclocker out there i think.
