  • Fuck I miss this kind of Logan.

  • BRING LOGAN BACK!

  • @murder00redrum @radmanace He is back.

  • man! We need this guy back bad!

  • Wow, the Q6600 is now 3 years old? Holy crap! My best PC runs that CPU! Guess I'd better upgrade to the i7!

  • @talldude123 im running a q8200 with trifire hd5870 so...

    wait for ivy bridge on april!

  • @gonzalobuen Core i7 2600k runs so fast and the price is dropping really quick

  • Q6600 G0 just rules...i have had it on my old computer and it was an overclocking monster compared to the Q9300....

  • LOGAN IS BACK :D

  • To whom may I write at TigerDirect re: closed-captioned videos?

    

  • haha nice british accent

  • doesnt tigerdirecttc get that we unsubscribe because Logan is gone?

  • lol, I tried over clocking with AI suite and had the same problem, It works fine with small increments at a time, Beware of its ram overclocking, some Asus board have limited multiplier's and the auto setting will stay at the SPD even after you change the timings. You think your running at 800 on auto but some 800's SPD's are 540. A stable O.C. nearly always come's down to ram. 

  • i still have the q6600 oc to 3.2 for more than 2 years,with a p5q pro with 4 gb ram and a 5870,the best system for games,cheap too

  • i have a q9300. either the thermal sensors are bad or my processor runs too hot.

  • @jcat44444ore u termal paste dried out :O

  • I'll slap you in the face with a fish XD

  • Logan is halerious, he the BEST ever! ^^

  • He said E8400. Why is this written Q9300?

  • I'm using the Q6600 right now overclocked to 3.94GHz with a Zalman 9700NT cooler, it's still an exceptionally fast CPU for LGA775 flat forms. Later on I will be upgrading to a QX9770.

  • @CaptianObviousIII Why the hell would you upgrade to another quad core? Because of the platform? You shouldn't , if you game go for a better GPU instead.

  • @Rzrjo It's cool. I really do have a good GPU on the way here in the next few days - EVGA GeForce GTX 465.

  • @CaptianObviousIII 299.99? Don't buy it, just put the that extra cash to get a GTX480 Lightning from MSi.

  • @CaptianObviousIII That's ok but seriously why not say no to the QX9770 and buy a GTX480 or 5870 with the money you save.

  • @Rzrjo I play a lot of old games from ID software, so I would be throwing my money away to be getting hardware like that. I seen a good deal on the QX9770 not too long ago for a used one, it's about $299.00, so I better think fast. :D

  • What motherboard is it?

  • @CaptianObviousIII what motherboard are you using? I've read that most people couldn't get past 3.4ghz on the q6600. Also you have a really good chip if you're getting 3.94.

  • That was the best English accent I've ever heard. I miss you Logan!

  • Q6600 is still a great cpu. Stock speeds 2.4ghz are getting a little too slow, but OCing it to 2.8-3.2ghz (on air) will run (or beat) the some of best 775 cpu's.

  • I dare you to get one of those OEM OS's from a big retail store... They'll slap you in the face with a FISH!

  • Indeed

  • wow you sound like captain picard

  • I'm, thinking of upgrading my processor but don't know what one to go for, I'm using a NVIDIA n-Force 750 motherboard so it’s socket LGA775 processor I’m looking for. I was considering the Q6600 but I’m not sure is it is really future proof in games. Any suggestions?

  • @KeyToTime

    Make sure you check that your motherboard is comaptible with quad core as most of them have a higher TDP usually (95W/105W) than core 2 duo (65W) except for the QXXXXs processors. I'm upgrading and thinking of getting an AMD phenom ii x4 955. Only €125 (w/o shipping) on ebay and mobo for around €40 (w/o shipping)

  • @KeyToTime any of the 9300's and above will do you much good, as long as you are over clocking it.

  • @KeyToTime the q6600 has got about 5 years left in it am still useing on at 3.2 ghts

  • LOL

  • Logan's girlfriend's so damn hot!

  • nice British accent:P

  • great guy :DDDDDD

  • I miss Logan doing all the reviews. Albert is cool, but Bauer kinda sucks.

  • @masterasia11 You're just a nerdy fag who wants to listen to Albert having orgasms over overclocked PC's. Bauer on the other hand takes a more friendly, laid back, and generally less homosexual approach to tech reports. Your pathetic, nerdy little pea-brain wouldnt be able to comprehend Bauer's awesome sense of humour. FUCK OFF.

  • @masterasia11 where is he now? what happened

  • This guy is halerious!! #pull your pants up?! ahahhaha

  • logan!!!!

  • logans intros are the best!

  • omg andrew kramer ripoff!!!

  • intel i7 940

    Geforce 295gtx+ X2

    Windows 7

    8GB DDR3 ram

    Now that's future proof

  • lol ya but i know a guy with a rig twice as powerfull as urs tho

  • @krauser979

    thats a the nerdyest thing iv ever heard its like saying my dicks bigger than your but in this case its my friends computer is bigger than yours! wow lmafo

  • ok first of all learn how to speak english and second of all mind your own buisness

  • @krauser979

    naw man because you pulled a really homo thing

  • ur homo for thinking of somthing homo so go fuck ur self

  • @pezimaxie nedded more ram i have 24gb

  • Haha I really like this video, especially with the British accent immitation. That was FUNNY xD I don't know weather British people will be offended or what.

    Anyways, I have a question. I have a Q6600 on an ASUS P5Q Deluxe Motherboard. Should I upgrade to a Q9550 or something?

  • why shouldn't you u can overclock the Q9550 to like almost 4.0

  • * Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 * (2.4GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 8MB Cache) * Genuine Windows Vista (R) Home Premium * 4GB Memory * 750GB Hard Drive

    ati 3870 x2

    dell xps 420

    is this spec future proof any1???

  • overclock it and you're set to go..

  • ya ur good for like 3-4 years b4 you need to upgrade

  • never buy much, yes it is future proof, but nothing is future proof if you speak technically

  • it has the parts of a beast gaming rig..... for 2007, i guess its fine, those parts wer once the kings u no.... but they are aging, overclocking can extend the months ull be able to game on it, if u upgrade to windows 7 and get a new graphics card ur good to go

  • can i overcock Q6600 2.4 to 3.0 with a stoock cooler without problem??

  • Surely... No problem till 3.0 but beyond that u may need a good cpu cooler.. V8 or something.. But till 3 ghz stock cooler is fine..

  • yes you can, i am at 3.0 ghz on stock

  • he's the funnyest guy ever done reviews and every one execpt you love logan!!!

  • Actually, the answer to the first question is NO. using that USB thinguie works for movies, but there is a small lag (aprox. 0.35 Ms) between the sending of the signal and the visual representation on screen, making playing games nearly impossible.

  • Lol the best part when he started XD acted like some news guy orginaizing those papers XD

  • Hey guys just wanted to know how this system rates -

    1.Processor - Intel Quad Core Q9550

    2.MoBo-Zotac 780I SLI

    3.Graphics-Palit Gtx 260 SP216

    4.RAM-Corsair XMS2 4GB

    5.Chassis-CM 690

    Will this system work at good frame rates for demanding games and will it be sort of future proof ? thanks

  • yup!

    though what res do you play at?

    you'll be good at 1680x1050 and 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 (lower quality in games or lower AA or AF)

  • haha i have a 17" monitor i think with 1280x1024 ill be able to hit up my aa and vsync with the card too !

  • Nope. even at low at 1024x768, as soon as you even put 2XAA it'll go slow. With the 2600XT, No AA, No AF (better FPS). 1280x1024. Texture High/Gamer Shaders Medium Physics Medium Effects Medium Shadows Medium Water High Motion Blur Medium Objects Medium Volumetric Medium Post Processing Low (a little extra FPS, put on if you REALLY want to) Particles Low/Medium Sound Medium/High
  • wow... cause my old 9500gt 1 gb plays games like undercover with even 4x aa no problems!

    thanks for the help though :)

    made a difference in my choice !

  • I dislike how the new hosts i.e. bauer and albert...aren't as nice as logan was when you e-mail them. I honestly still e-mail logan my questions I have about videos I watch with albert and Bauer.

  • I'm getting 1000000 revs out of my ford focus, why has the engine blown up?

    ok so a Q6600 isnt a ford focus but what do you expect if u overclock a full 1Ghz without adequate cooling?

  • he sounds like mr bean when he talks bristish lol

  • 0:05

  • darn...

    I can't unsee/un-laugh it.

  • is this man mad?

  • love albert but logan is more funy

    -Dinumas

  • R.I.P Logan.

  • haha dark tranquillity, hours past in exile at the beginning :P

  • He has good taste in music. ;)

    -Dinumas

  • actually screamo is catchy because of the deep voice, i like everything mixed :)

  • is logan wrong? i'm sure that oem OS's only work on 1 motherboard?

  • That's what I thought too.

    -Dinumas

  • i love my Q9300.

  • im from Britain and he's cool. . i thinks. . dont stabe me please

  • i love Logan and his things

  • fuck this guy is good. He's like been there done that

  • Now, there's only fat albert.

  • e 8400 is better for gaming, core 2 quads such as the q6600 are more for video encoding etc. They arent clocked as high and most games dont utulize all four cores, still nice too have thoguh for later on.

  • actually he is right but i have enough knowledge of computers to make the game use all 4 cores and that why i baught a core 2 quad oc'd to 3.10 GHz. its runnin like a champ!

  • Sure, try playing gta iv on a dual core, I guarantee it will run crap on anything less than 3 cores. Quad is the way to go.

  • New games support 4 cores. So dual cores are going down.

  • the reason why the Q6600 is slower at games even at the same clock as the e8400 is because each core in the E8400 has 3MB. in the Q6600, since the cache is devided between four cores, it has only 2MB cahce in the core, which is why the only games the 6600 can beat the E8400 have to multicored

  • 45nm C2D has a new architecture (Penryn) which beats 65nm clock-for-clock anyway. Cache is not divided between cores but shared by the two cores on the same die. Q6600 is essentially two E6600 each with 4MB of cache each in one package connected via the FSB

  • Nice, you have done your homework. Well stated, sir ; )

  • If SSE4.1 is not required, Q9xxx beats Q6xxx by ~1 - 2% due to higher fsb (333 vs 266).

  • Don't the Q9xxxx's have more cache too?

  • no, only the Q9550 + have more cache than q6600

  • Hmm Or Try the New AMD Phenom 2 :)

  • this guy makes me happy

    NOT IN THAT WAY!!!!

    lol

  • I think he is to goofy,is wy hes not around anymore.

    Bu I like him goofy!

    it makes it worth watching!

    I can get all the Boring Serious people I want all day!

    I Agree! COME BACK LOGAN!

  • COME BACK TO TIGERtv LOGAN...ne ways nice vid...iv been looking at the E8400 cas of the high clock...still dont know which one to get

  • my q6600 runs at 3.6GHz nice and cool

  • I overclocked my pc from 2.6 ghz to 2.62 and then it showed me error something with my sata 2

    I set back to 2.6 lool

    and that suxxx

  • Q6600 is better if you overclock it! if not, q9300.

  • Q6600 2.40GHz/8M/1066

    Q9300 2.50GHz/6M/1333

    more L2 Cache or  more clocks speed and FSB?

  • which one i should chose the q9300 or the q6600? or should i wait 5mouths to get an i7?

  • the problem from the angry britt is also my problem but i have the q6600 and if it boots the 2nd time it resets the bios in my case

  • Love your aggressive british accent

  • Hey i want a good processor for my gaming rig but i dno which one to chose. one is the Q6600 and the other one is the E8500 3.12 GHz and 1333 fsb, please help with which one is better and which one of them wouldnt bottleneck my GPU ( HD 4870)

  • I would go with the Q6600 because since its a quad core its more future-proof because more and more games are being written to take advantage of quad cores

  • okk thanks dude, the Q6600 must cost around 150-180 right??

  • ya know what just ignore my previous comment. I would just go with the Q6600 because it will overclock better because of the bigger L2 cache

  • Depends on what games you play. The E8500 will be better except for in games like FSX, Crysis and Supreme Commander.

  • you have just answered a question i didint ask, processor for FSX

  • can i overclock it with facotry settings and cooling or do i need to get somthing diffrent?

  • I would suggest buy a better fan then the factory set one.

  • ahh when i go to my bios i cant click on the advanced cpus its grey...is there any other method of overclockig other than bios

  • yay logan come back ;(

  • HAHAHAHAHAH its clouding his mind

  • lmao at 3:48 check it out!

  • Why it die and but up again? LMAO

  • madbritishguy your mobo dies because of voltage problems, tweak your voltage + account for vdroop

  • yes it is..downlaod xfire and add me to your friends so we can talk--my xfire name is reptile7dv

  • lol i can't watch logans vids whiles i'm drinking a cuppa tea' i just can't LMAO

  • LOL @ 7:11 the songs Scar Symmetry The Illusionist sickk

  • what windows vista should i install for q6600 32 bit 64 bit 86 ,i have no idea :P

  • probably install windows vista 64 bit, cause if you install more than 4GB of ram, then the 64bit will recognize all 4 GB of ram. The 32bit will NOT see all 4GB of ram.

  • Yeah, 32bit only sees ~3.1GB, it will be there, just won't be used.

  • does the q9300 bottlenecks the gtx 285? i have a e6300 and swrewin up my gtx 285...so im planning to get q9300

  • logan quited is no more in the computer tv T_T so sad
