Alright guys, I think I'll just leave it at stock speed for now then. Sometime in the future if I start clamoring for more speed, I'll buy one of those coolers then.

Well yea, but I was trying to aim for what I considered to be fairly low overclocks, and the temperature readings were pretty low. Do I really not have much chance to overclock AT ALL without a special cooler?

I just got a Q6600 the other day, and want to overclock it some. Honestly, I'm very satisfied with it at the default speed, but I really want to get the most out of it that I can. I'm using the standard heatsink/fan, so maybe thats the reason for my problems, I'm not sure though. Here is...

Great then, looks like I can go with that.

I'm building my new PC, and I was planning on getting an Nvidia 8600GT. It looks like this card has 2 DVI connectors though. My monitor has a VGA connector. Do they still make newer graphics cards with VGA connectors? I really like my monitor, so I don't want a new one. I also don't want to have...

Would this little TruePower Trio 550 be a good choice? http://shop4.outpost.com/produ...sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG The $60 price seems irresistible, and from reading a bunch of threads around here, the wattage sounds like it will be sufficient. Is there anything better for around the same price...

I'm building a new pc, and I'm not really sure how much of a power supply I will need. My current system has an Antec True 380, which I guess was a pretty decent power supply back when I bought it about 3 years ago. My new PC will have an intel q6600 processor, probably an nvidia 8600gt or...

I am building a new quad-core machine primarily for video editing. I plan to get 4gb of ram, and so this leads into the problem of windows xp not letting you use all 4gb... Now, as I understand it Windows Server 2003 will let me use all of that ram. So my choices for an OS right now are...

I was about to ask a lot of these same questions, but I'll just hop on this thread since the original poster already asked them :) I'm planning a relatively similar setup for my new PC--q6600 processor, planning to overclock it to around 3.2ghz or so. Most of the 800mhz ram I see is either...

Thanks for the recommendations guys!

I'm building a new pc and would ideally like to spend under $100 on my case and power supply combined. If it means a significant difference in quality though, I would be willing to go up to $150 (shipped). I'm hoping I can get some good suggestions, because cases and power supplies don't seem...
