I have read lots of chatter here about G.Skill Titans and stutter and other evils. I agree with one previous poster that most of the criticism seems to be from those who have opinions but no SSD experience.
I have two GSkill Titan 128s in RAID 0 and they are quite simply smokin fast...
CleanMyPc Registry cleaner hoses the registry. I had to use system restore to get my system back. Needless to say I immediately uninstalled. It worked fine with Vista 64.
Just to further muddy the decision how about the P5Q Premium? My dilemma is between that and the Maxumus II. the Premium appears to have all the OC capabilities of the Maximus plus better RAID and ten USB ports on board. It also has 4, count em, 4 lan ports for which I can see no earthly...
Do you know anything about the P5q Premium. It has some intriguing specs but it is so new that I can't find any user reports at all. My other choice is the Maximus II Formula - lots written about that one.
Your chip can take a whole lot more vcore than that. 3.2 should be easily attainable. Start bumping vcore a step at a time until you get stability. I wouldn't even start to get nervous until you get to 1.5. Temps with your aircooler are of far more concern than vcore. The Zalman is a bit...
Check out petrastechshop.com. Service, selection, and price are outstanding and they have bundled systems comprised of top quality components at really good prices. If you have questions they actually answer the phone and are very helpful.
If you will look through the large selection on newegg.com I am sure you will find the right case for you.
I am continually amazed at the number of people who want others to do all their research for them.
Windows performance index looks at what is reported as your CPU. It does not take oc into consideration. It is only meant to be a basic measure of system capability in running Vista. No part of it is meant to be a benchmark.
Any of those mentioned is far better to benchmark your system.
In my experience when a previously well functioning system starts to shut down and reboot it is symptomatic of a failing PSU. If you have a spare try swapping it out and see if that doesn't fix things.
Oh, I don't have the god-like expertise of some but I have been doing this for about 14...
I have the Q6700 and I frankly feel that I wasted the money for the difference. I can get a stable overclock of 3800 on water at a vcore of 1.61 very little better than the results I see posted all over the forums for the Q6600.
I have no negatives about the chip - just that you get close to...
I have a P5K deluxe inverted in a LIan li case. It has been fine for several months now. The mobo temp will run high if you overclock but a fan will handle that quite nicely.
Tuniq Tower 120 is an excellent cooler. Also, it sounds like you do not have good air flow in your case. Your 8800 is way too hot. Better case ventilation should help that considerably.
Write all over the surface with a marks a lot and then sand several strokes. If the ink is uniformly removed from the surface of the IHS or heat sink it is flat.
The AS instructions work well. If you want to be really anal about it you can put a thin line across one edge of the IHS and then...
A C2D chip is already basically obsolete. A quad which will soon be replaced is a much better choice. The closest to future proof would be a P38 based mobo and DDR3 ram which is very expensive.
In tech there really ain't no such thing as future proof.
To get real I would go with the Asus...
Check the pins on the cooler. I expect that one of them is not seated.
That said, the stock cooler is not adequate for a quad. You really should get a good aftermarket cooler.
The tJunction of quad chips is 100c - that of C2D chips is 85c. Coretemp uses the correct tJunction for quads whereas speedfan uses 85c and that is the reason for the difference.
Core Temp is the correct temp.
I would have a hard time not believing the factory recommended voltage at 2.2. If they don't know how to spec out their own ram who does? I even spoke with Crucial support a few months ago and was told to set the vdimm at 2.2. That is good enough for me.
Sounds to me like Core Temp is spot on. Your differences are exactly 15c which is the tJunction difference in quad core.
You don't say how much oc, if any, but you definitely need better cooling.
Over 70c would be a problem with that chip. I wouldn't worry about it at 65c. Keep in mind that the Orthos load temps are far above any thing that you will ask of it in real world gaming or computing.
