Option 1 will be sufficient for Starcraft II at medium settings. I do believe starcraft II is mostly GPU dependent so I don't think i5-750 will make much difference. But if you've got the money, just get i5-750.
There's basically no way to get 4ghz quad stable on low budget. Q8200/Q6600 needs expensive cooling and a lot of luck to do it, x4 620 has no chance. However if your budget isn't that tight I would go for i5.
It's up to you whether your anxious enough to go through all that work. I would do it if I have enough time just to see how your new HSF compare to the stock.
Ahh I understand now.. but which Vcore do people refer to when talking about voltage? Vcore in BIOS or CPUZ (assuming CPUZ is reporting the correct voltage the processor is actually receiving)?
Speedstep enabled, I see no reason to turn it off because my system is 9h prime stable.
The voltage my BIOS shows is 1.325, CPUZ shows 1.264 at idle and 1.20 at load. Which one do people refer to when they talk about their voltage?
So how do I figure out the correct voltage on my Q6600? I set my voltage to 1.325 in the BIOS but it reports 1.264 in CPUZ at idle (6 multiplier), 1.2 with load (9 multiplier)
which is right?
I just removed the stock HSF on my Q6600, it basically came right off. If your having this much trouble, you are probably doing it wrong. Are you sure all 4 pins came off?
Hello
So I am doing my first ever build, and I dont know the purpose of this 8 pin connector on the Earthwatts.
The connector can be seen in this link, they called it an 8-pin EPS +12v Cable

I was wondering which motherboard I should get. There is the Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L:

and theres the MSI P45 Neo-F:

Im a casual user, so no extreme OC required. Which is better...
so i was going to update the BIOS on my Gigabyte motherboard. i notice gigabyte has this windows BIOS update utility called @BIOS, i was wondering if this is safe or should i update w/ a floppy.

i am looking for a good looking case w/ good airflow that isnt too expensive. so is this any good?

any other suggestions for a sub 100 case? or should i just go up to an Antec 900
haha.. yes i have looked at the EarthWatts PSU and others in the $80 price range. i chose the Corsair mainly because of its quiteness. i was led to believe that this PSU is unaudible other than the sound of air pushed out of the PSU, which is pretty impressive if u ask me.
also i do game on...
Hey
So i was considering upgrading to a 2900XT, and to do that i need to get a new PSU. i was looking at the new Corsair VX450 but im confused about the power requirement of the 2900XT. do i have to have two 6 pin PCI-E connectors? also does the nV 8800GTX require two 6 pin PCI-E connectors...
