Neoseeker has published a review of the Core 2 Duo E6600. After taking a look at the budget E6300 and the E6700, we're now checking out the Core 2 processor that is arguably in the best position as far as price and stock performance goes. Stock performance is fine and dandy, but as we all know the Core 2's are excellent overclockers, and we certainly don't leave that out from the review ;)

"Just like with our E6400, we were able to reach almost 3.2GHz with just the Intel supplied heatsink – however we knew that was not the limit of this processor, so we switched coolers and used a Noctua NH-12 to try to find the real limit of the processor.

Using our Asus P5B, with the latest BIOS, the Noctua NH-12, and two 63CFM 12cm fans, we were able to reach a whopping 3.48GHz with just air cooling!

I am not talking about just posting, or getting to the Windows desktop – for those metrics, we were able to reach up to 3.7GHz – I am talking running our whole set of benchmarks, without problems, and being completely stable at 3.48GHz."
