The Most Expensive LGA775 CPU Goes on LN2 - Intel QX9770 Overclocked to 6.13GHz

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 has always been a bit weird CPU if you ask me. Even today in 2023/2024 it often costs around 400 euros on sites like eBay. Absolutely senseless price for a 16-year-old CPU or what you think? I accidentally got one of them with a Rampage Extreme I bought recently, so I decided to give this one a go as it seemed very strong on water cooling.

I was correct and already on first boot I was at 5.85GHz which made the multicore top scores very easy, and the single threaded stuff went up to 6.13GHz. Fastest Yorkfield CPU on some of the tests, but of course would be awesome to find even better QX9650.

Hardware used:

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770
ASUS Rampage Extreme X48
Corsair Dominator GTX2
Nvidia 6500GT
Seasonic Prime 1300W Platinum
Kingpin Cooling F1 DARK
Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme
