Help me get it a bit higher?
Specs:
E6600 L628A235 + Scythe Infinity
Asus P5B vanilla, bought before 9/14.. isn't there a newer version or something?
2x 1GB Corsair XMS DDR2-800 5-5-5-12
Radeon X300 (lol)
Enermax Liberty 500w
This thing is rock solid at 400x8 with 1.485v vcore (CMOS...
Lapped my E6600 today with this kit, good stuff and inexpensive.

Getting the Scythe Infinity out of the P180s in and out without removing the board is a real ******.

Just got my E6600 + Asus P5B vanilla + 2gb Corsair DDR2-800, but ever since I installed Windows, the HDD access has seemed a bit slow.
It's as though the drive has to go through a lot of work to get data whereas it took less time when the same drive was in my 3.0 Northwood. It might just be...
My E6600 is idling at like 40-45C (according to my P5B's BIOS) at stock--and I have a Scythe Infinity. Shouldn't it be more like 30C?
Anyways, when I take the HSF off the bottom is like 1/3 covered in paste, so the contact is pretty crappy. It's probably the IHS being concave and like many...
About to put my P5B vanilla into my P180B and I noticed that the 9 motherboard studs on the back plate are a part of the backplate itself.. wtf? Wouldn't it be bad for the board to touch one of these studs where there isn't a screw hole? Wouldn't that leave the board vulneralbe to static shock?

For a while the 7900GT has been where it's at for price:Performance, but I'm seeing that the X1800GT is just a little more. Any notable differences between the cards? Crappy ATI drivers aside :P

Anyone own the non-Deluxe?
The only difference I can see is the number of various ports and an additional x16 slot. Does the Deluxe support SLI? Since they have...
My Scythe Infinity just came in today and I just installed it in my system. Unfortunately I haven't finished getting everything I needed for the E6600 system I want (still waiting on nForce 590) so here it is in my 3 GHz Northwood + 6800GT @ 420/1.13...

5-5-5-12 is $241 after tax and 4-4-4-12 is $275 (free shipping). The former also has a $40 mail-in rebate but I don't put much faith in those--it's been...
I'm getting an E6600 this month and am looking for the best air cooler. It's my understanding that the Scythe Ninja and the Tuniq Tower are the best available now? Unfortunately the Tuniq isn't at Newegg and the Ninja just went off sale (it was like $30, now it's $50).
I'm willing to pay $50...
Are there any out from any top sites? I want to start ordering parts for my new system but like many others I don't care to spend $270 on a P5W-DH and I can't order an E6600 yet (I almost ordered one for $340 today but then the California taxes killed that hope).
I'd like to have a...
Getting a Core2 system this month and I really need a new case, but I'm way too picky about it. I keep finding stuff that's exactly what I want but it's always missing one or two things or it's like $100 too expensive.
I'm really partial to Antec construction, but there isn't always a lot of...
I'm building a sub $800 system and the X2 price cuts sound pretty good for that, plus I want to go with a platform that has an upgrade path.
I don't want to buy some cheap foxconn or asrock boards but one of the top tier brands (asus/abit/gigabyte/msi) but not their $200 top of the line...
In the coming months there's a prospect of me not being dead poor and I might even get on this HDTV thing, but I barely know anything about home theater stuffs, I've been a PC-only guy for a long time. I don't even own a topset DVD player except for the one in the living room which only...
