    if you can provide adequate cooling somehow, the Q6600 (the better cpu) should be able to run on your asus

    No Q6600 is not compatible with C90S.

    On a side note, if it did work, yes, it would be better.

    There are some retailers selling C90S with Q6600, ask them how they got it to work. Q6600 would be better, not much of a leap from the E6600 to the E6700.

    As far as its stated the Q6600 isn't officially supported, so good luck.

    q6600 would bump the 3dmark 06 score by quite a bit though!

    Hell if I could get the Q6600 to run stable, I'd consider it as an upgrade when a new video card comes out.
