E6550 isn't bad of a choice. Apparently it's in the October Midrange Buyer's Guide. At first I was a little skeptical on performance since it only has a 7x multiplier, but it really isn't that bad. I've been able to clock it to 3.5 on air with temps 33-35 idle and about 55-56 max with Orthos. If...
I have a E6550 clocked to 3.1 with a Zalmann 9700 LED where the idl temp used to be around 35-38 and load at 50-53C. I actually just adjusted VCore voltage down maybe .08 or so and apparently it went down to 13-14C idle and 26C at load. I've ran Orthos for a while and it seems stable.
