    Best 850W power supply

    If your going to be spending more then $230 for a psu, might as well pick up the Corsair HX1000. At least this way, you have more headroom for more parts and oc'ing w/out running into problems

    Core i7 GTX 260+ SLI Power supply recomendation

    So what psu will you be getting? My new set-up will be extremely close in spec with yours and I havent been able to decide which psu to get. I was hoping I could get away with using the Antec True Power New 750 but it dont think it will happen =(

    i have that same mb with the e6850 paired with 2 x 1 Ballistix ddr2 800 and it works fine you can actually oc it to 9 x 400 - 3.6GHz with only 1.3-1.35 vcore which shouldnt cause any stability and temp issues

    How to tell what stepping you have based off text on CPU heatspreader?

    For the E6850, it should say SLA9V but again like capt caveman said its a G0 anyway so n reason to look @ the stepping if anything just to compare with people... ill be more interested in the batch #

    order your stuff and get the rebates as in for the cpu, pre-order G0 from tankguys.com for 5bucks and you will get it during the 1st two weeks of aug that sounds like your best bet

    B3 vs G0 stepping on Q6600

    so you have the qx6800? you should put that on your sig to let others know what you have.. instead of just putting core 2 quad... everyone has the tendency to think everyone is talking bout a q6600

    Last go around for my S939

    i actually have the 185 but its a lousy OC'er your better off getting a opty 175 or 180 and just oc'ing that to 2.8-3.0gGHz trust me.... you'll save yourself alot of money

    Is this a good Q6600 Based System?

    if you dont need the firewire just op out for the DS3R model, and im guessing you already ordered the graphics card? between the cases, i guess ill go for the 900 case since i have it myself.. although it does feel a bit cramp compared to my Aurora & X-Navigator case but the cooling drop...
  37. T

    So, if you HAD to choose.....

    if you can manage to wait it out for 1-2 more weeks maybe the e6750 will drop down to 183... which would be a better buy
