Rosewill RCX-Z775-LX from newegg

I ran Orthos in both settings for about 45 min each, all passed. The CPU was 1.152V in both. The cores were 35-36C. Th DRAM is 4.5MHz; FSB: 2:3; 5/5/5/18. What would you recommend the OC settings be?

I'll run Orthos and report back tonight. Thanks

I ran Prime95. Is orthos a better stress program? I thought Prime would stress both cores. If I OC further, do the RAM timings need to be changed?

How does the voltage and temps look? I'm wondering if this E2180 can be OC'd more?

1.152V 36 C both Prime95 (small FFT's) ........for 45 minutes, both the voltage and temp have remained the same the entire period.

You are right! I have Prime95 and just started it, is that okay?

Core Voltage is 1.160V Temps are 21C both.

I think that reason alone would be worth staying away from Dell. How much would a Dell PS be to replace? Probably a lot more than one purchased elsewhere.

I have oc'd my new system to 270 and DRAM speed to 1:1.50. I"m new to this so I'm not sure if there is anything else to do? Will this run faster and still be safe? I have the E2180 with Rosewill fan, IP35-E Abit MB, Corsair 2GB 800 memory, Vista. I loaded CPU-Z and Prime95. Prime has passed...

Newegg is just playing the marketing game by raising & lowering the price and offering free shipping with the higher price. Anyone know of any better deal on this fan?

I will OC the processor. The C2D 4500 and x2 5000 BE are only about $25 apart now so thought the 4500 may be the better way to go now. I'm going to wait a few more days until the latest Nvidia cards are introduced to see what video card would be the best for me. I'd like to keep the card under...

OP here...once or twice a month is about right. And you are right, a choppy experience will create lack of interest so then I have an overpriced email checker. Someone else recommended the E4500 and the 3850 video card over the 8600GT card. I looked at tomshardware video comparison and the 3850...

Would this MB work with the E4500? I just read a great review on the IP35-E this morning. Highbuzz, I'm in the same situation with your friend. I was a hard-core AMD fan and everyone here and their references convinced me to change to Intel. There are still a lot of decisions to make on all...

I trust you. Eeek! I'm in for Intel and will look at your suggestions and pick one. My last build was about 4 years ago, things sure do change! Thanks!
