    Suggest Cooler for MC Q9550 LGA775 PLEASE

    Just picked up the Q9550 on sale at MC. I've reviewed the various coolers but can't seem to decide :p I would like to overclock pretty good, but not extreme. Seems like a lot of new coolers hitting the market (Cogage Arrow, TR Venomous X, Noctua NH-D14, and coming Prolimatech Armageddon)...

    Lowest price yet on eVGA 680i LGA775 MB

    EMO, these are the same boards. If you look at FAQs on the EVGA site, you will see that apparently, EVGA assigned a different designation when they were sold to resellers in some sort of bundle.

    Introducing the E4300 - the new budget overclocking champ

    So if you have/get the MB, memory, & cpu cooler for higher FSB/memory, the E4300 should essentially provide the same oc performance as today's E6300/E6400 with the exception of possibly higher CPU speeds based on its 9x (or 8x or 7x downward capability) rather than 7x/8x multiplier of the...

    Core 2 Duo E6600 $280, E6300 $150, OEM plus shipping

    Not a bad deal for the E6300 if your gonna strap on a large air cooler or water or TEC anyway! Not risking too much, $150 not $300+, on the 90 day warranty.

    Antec P180 black hot!

    :P Man I thought I got a good deal 2 weeks ago when I got it from them for $90 delivered. Should have waited! On this same case, what are anyone's thoughts on a power supply for this case. I'm thinking Conroe E6300/E6400 high overclock air, on an Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi. Should I just get a...

    *HOT* E6400 Core 2 Retail $193 shipped

    :( Even given the info I know it's still hard to decide if you can trust a vendor with hard earned/scarce $. One thing I found which might help you decide and that I hadn't seen elsewhere is their BBB report as of 11/13/06. Here's the link...
