aye you are right, i said it in a different thread

I have an OCZ Vendetta II, keeps my q9950 running beautifully @ 3.83ghz, very happy with it.

Temps on that??

Who me? If you're really interested mate I'll run a stress test tomorrow evening and post the temps, can't remember them off hand from when it was originally o/c'd and haven't had a reason really to check since as everything's been well stable.

Oh, and lol, that should obviously have been a q9550 before, not 9950 :lol:
