    Who is happy with their C2D Systems?

    Hahah, note that I said I had less money to play with than my friend. :P I think my friend would want a 24" monitor first (to run native 1920 res).

    Who is happy with their C2D Systems?

    I haven't posted here in about a month. Too busy giving the new rig some exercise. :D I see a lot of C2D threads here about problems with temp measures, overclocking, posting, BIOS, etc... I don't see a thread about happy Conroe users. To recap, the one I built wasn't really my system...

    ***Official*** OCZ Support Thread part 2

    Still wondering why the stock settings for my 2 sticks of VX2 (1067 DDR2 4-4-4-15 2.30V) errors out consistently in memtest #5. :confused:

    ASUS P5W-DH Deluxe and Nvidia 7950 gx2

    Hitman runs silky smooth on our P5W/GX2. All settings are maxed. Our 3DMark06 scores were right in between the two review benchmarks done on the eVGA GX2.

    A shocking truth

    Mines looked identical to the OP when I took it off. Of course some MX-1 took care of that problem.

    Vantec NXP-205 Owners

    Are you talking about the ones on the 5.25"? Those one sticks out slightly under 1/2" from the face of the Rheobus. I'd prefer not to hide it (easier adjustibility).

    Silverstone TJ06

    Some observations after >9.5 hours of Orthos: After SuperPi32M, the CPU temp dropped down to 28C. Is that our idle? The peak observed temp running Orthos is 51C. During this time, temps are hovering around 48C-50C. No errors or crashes so far. The Auto-Detect for the ram turned out to be...

    Silverstone TJ06

    I'd suggest you go with the Arctic Cooler 7. I got a chance to examine it at a store while picking out additional items. It looks like it will clear the tunnel, and you can orient the fan direction so that it aligns with the front-back direction of the case. Also has a lot of favorable reviews...

    ***Official*** OCZ Support Thread part 2

    Finally got the new system together... obviously some problems though, hence me posting in this thread. I'm running C2D E6600 and two sticks of TiAlpha VX2 on a P5W-DH. Stock setting everywhere else. Latest ASUS bios (1201). Since anandtech benchmarked this ram using this mainboard, I first...

    Silverstone TJ06

    Started fitting components today, found out that the ASUS P5W-DH MB, Nitrogen V2.0 HSF, and the wind tunnel don't like each other very much. The problem is that Silverstone's HSF vane block is situated too far towards the top of the case. Moving the vanes a little over 1/4th inch downwards would...

    Monarch Computers?

    I had accidentally double ordered something from them and realized it no more than two minutes after I hit order. So I sent them a notice through their website form letter stating all the details and which order to cancel. About 2 days later (when the orders was indicated to be "processing", and...

    Sluggish performence

    Wow, good luck to you. I hope it's a defective component and not something more serious. My yet-to-be-built rig has a very similar parts makeup to the OP.

    Core 2 Duo makes me cry

    Hurrah, it comes in friday! :heart: About time. Tired of seeing all the high-priced goodies sitting around the house instead of in a computer.

    ***Official*** OCZ Support Thread part 2

    The review on this site states a DRAM Voltage range of 1.8V to 2.4V for this board so I think we're covered there. The main concern I have is some people failing to post when using the P5W and OCZ RAM.
