my vote would be for the Q6600 and overclock it to 3.2Ghz which can be done easily with the new G0 stepping. I myself have a Q6600 (B3) at 3.0ghz and I absolutely love it, and Crysis should benefit more from a quad core than a dual core from what I've heard. If you really want you could do...

I have a rig with a Q6600 (B3) OC'd to 3.0GHz (333 fsb) with 2GB of 1066MHz at 5:4 ratio (i think) at 5-5-5-15 timings. I'm helping my friend build a new computer and he's trying to build something similar to mine. The question I have is that is there a big performance difference (if any) if...

Thanks for all the info guys. I've tried OCing to 3Ghz but I start hitting 65C on the CPU after 15min on Orthos. The cores stay below 75C but cores 2 and 3 stay at least a good 3C to 4C below what cores 0 and 1 are doing. I've checked up on my Tuniq looking to see if my cooler is tighter on...

I just recently got an Intel Q6600 (B3 Stepping) and ran it through Orthos on stock speeds for 8 hours to test for initial stability and I noticed a large difference in core temperatures through CoreTemp and the CPU temperature through AI Probe. CoreTemp reported Core0: 61C Core1: 60C Core2...

Yes I have the PCI-E power cable hitched up to the video card via an adapter and the ATX12V in the right place. As for the shutdowns its always after a certain time after running the computer (haven't tried letting it sit in BIOS) and each time after the shutdown the intervals get shorter and...

I've pulled PSU out and I can't see anything externally wrong with it, even if I look inside through the fan mounting I can't find and visible signs of burns and what not. Even after my computer suddenly shuts off the PSU fan still runs like its suppose to (its suppose to keep running until the...

I've just put myself a new comp together with some parts cannibalized from my old computer, loaded Windows XP pro and started getting the better part of my drivers installed when my computer just turns off. Power to the board is still there and I can start up immediately but after a short while...
