Why? Just get a decent cooler and overclock your Q6600 to 3.6 IMHO

This is my system, but im upgrading it soon to a 4.0GHZ Quad hopefully.

And you will get a 4GHz stock quad from... where?

Overclocking, ive got decent cooler, but my nforce 680i motherboard won't let me go any higher than 3.0ghz and i want higher, so im getting a P5Q Deluxe.

-Facepalm- You'd be better off upgrading to i7

If i did that i would buy a new motherboard to support the new socket, the i7 and ddr3 memory. but i don't have that kind of money at the moment so iv'e decided for a year im going to oc my quad to possible 3.6 / 4.0ghz.

Getting a Q6600 to 4GHz stable is going to be very difficult. Especially on air. Perhaps it would be better to invest in a Q9450 / Q9650. I was thinking about this as my Q6600 is only good for 3.7GHz - after that, it won't get stable above that no matter how much voltage I pump into it. 45nm quads are the way to go for 4GHz+.

By all means, you should have a pop at it though. I mean, if you enjoy overclocking you should get some fun out of it.

Although, you won't see any performance gains if you overclock your Q6600 from 3.6 to 4.0 anyway, I say get a Vendetta 2 or some Watercooling and run it at 3.6GHz constant.

[Stephen!]

Yeah. 4GHz is for your e-peen enlargement.

Actually, yes i will see a performance increase from 3.6ghz to 4.0ghz, because i use my computer for 3D Video Editing, After Effects etc. and encoding. Those programs heavily use the cpu.

Not 400MHz IMO, it'll shred a couple of minutes off encodes, which isn't really worth it for the hassle.
