    Q6600 heat sink?

    Well I am not doing water on this rig.. Ultra 120 is pretty freaking big, it can't deal with a TDP of 230 watts? I have a nice 120mm fan waiting for it.. also have a 2nd fan that will be blowing outside air right into it. Like I said, not going for 3.8 GHz.. if I get 2.8 or 3 GHz I will be...

    Q6600 heat sink?

    Well parts getting ordered in next month so can't wait too long. Wonder if the thermalright ultra-120 fits on a P5B. Looks like it should... Never bought a heatsink that didn't have a clear fan mount.. what size of fan is meant to go with it? 120mm or something bigger?

    Q6600 heat sink?

    Hi, Working on my new system. Last things to buy will be the Q6600 and the P5B deluxe. I want a 3rd party air heatsink so I can do some moderate overclocking.. thinking of getting to around 2.8 GHz. 3 would be nice but not counting on it. In any case, what kind of heatsinks can handle the...

    ICH8R Question

    The thing is.. the raid5 is just to store stuff like DVDs.. speed is not important, as even the slowest software controller will let me read a DVD off in real time. Am looking for a cheap way to get redundant storage, and raid5 is it. 4 500 gig disks can be had for under $500.. giving me 1.5 TB...

    ICH8R Question

    Hi, Looking at the Asus P5B deluxe to put with a Q6600. Picked this board because it has the ICH8R which has a little nicer raid support built in. I can't figure out the limitations of the controller though. I KNOW its limited to 4 devices in an array.. but not sure what other limitations...

    Onkyo Good Deal Gone Bad...HELP

    ROFL, I hope you have to pay a 15% restocking fee (off the high price). There is a difference between a hot deal and trying to exploit a bug for personal gain. And FYI, if walmart puts a $5 sticker on a $500 stero, they do NOT have to sell it at that. Read the ads, they are protected from...

    The 250s and 350s for $140+ you find on the net have a remote. If you get the 250 by itself for $90, you need a remote. This guy is a cool remote for cheap. http://www.htpcnews.com/main.php?id=thr_remote_1 Yes, I use SageTV. I love it.
