I don't get how cool your Q6600 is running, I have the xact same cooler on my 9650 and it gets into the low 60's just going up to 3.6ghz ( from 3.0 stock ). I'm curious to know how you have your affinty's setup running 5 wow's Ellusionist if you care to share, I have 4 set to individual instances and the 5th spread across all 4 cores. Also I get maybe 30ish fps on whatever window I'm focuses on on dalaran and cap my backround fps at 10 on the other 4, I still get some hitching if I mount up and do laps around the main square of dalaran but its pretty smooth, fps stays around 18-24 or so even while running on the mount. That's with graphics basically all the way down except my main window has full clip. I guess I'm curious to compare my system to yours Ellusionist as we have very similar rigs except I'm running a 9650 which, I can barely clock past the speeds you can with a 6600 ... lol.
