    8800 GTX - Q6600 - P182 - Water cooling suggestions

    Most of the noise comes from my 2 fans pointing to the CPU, and I believe the GPU fan as well. The PSU, as far as I can tell, is noiseless. It's a Corsair 620-HX. There is a fan at the bottom of the case pointing to the hard drives but I can remove that without issue. MGM out

    8800 GTX - Q6600 - P182 - Water cooling suggestions

    Hey everyone. I'm thinking of going into water cooling but I really have no idea where to do research and judge what's good or not. So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what kind of water cooling I should go with or at the very least where I can find good reviews and do some...

    Looking for a wireless mouse for my laptop

    At home I use an MX518 with a G15 keyboard, and my brother uses (my old mouse) an MS IntelliMouse Optical 1.1A. I ended up buying a MX620. It was on sale for $39.99 (down from $65) so it was a good deal. Thanks for the help guys, even though I ended up making the decision myself :P MGM out

    Looking for a wireless mouse for my laptop

    That works as far as the feel and look, but what about performance? Best Buy won't exactly tell you that a mouse is only 50dpi :P Not to mention the models available for play are usually broken or messed up in some way... MGM out

    Looking for a wireless mouse for my laptop

    Hey everyone. I just got a laptop for school and I want a good wireless mouse to use for it. I want something that has a good response, forward/back buttons, a mouse wheel (are these standard now?) with middle click, and it needs to be optical/laser. It also needs to have a wireless...

    GREEN LASER DIODE $25

    I would love to have one too. Can anyone suggest any good ones that aren't too expensive? Like brownzilla said, I just want a beam that's strong enough to cast a good, solid beam at night (or heck, if it works in the day too that'd be awesome). Any suggestions would be great, but I don't want...

    P182 owners.

    I just finished building my new PC with a P182. For power supply, I'm using the Corsair HX620. For motherboard, I have the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P. Now, there are 2 power cables that need to be plugged in from the power supply to the mobo. One is long, and the other short (not the cable, but...

    In this thread we will keep a tab on Q6600 prices

    I just checked ClubIT and the tracking number is on there now. Apparently they sent the order in to FedEx around 9ish on Friday, and they shipped them out on Saturday. I haven't had an update on mine since then, and currently still says that it departed at 11ish on Saturday from California. I...

    Yea no problem. This makes me very happy that I didn't go with TankGuys or try my luck with NewEgg or elsewhere. ClubIT is giving it to me for a good price, free shipping, and earlier than other pre-order sites (like Tankguys, who are probably overloaded with their 200+ preorders) MGM out

    I just got the call from ClubIT. They're getting in their shipment from Intel tomorrow and they'll be shipping them out tomorrow. They're using Fedex, and they said to expect the processor Mondayish. Finally! MGM out

    In this thread we will keep a tab on Q6600 prices

    Just got the call back. Apparently they have no G0's in the warehouse and the rep was kind of confused as to how somebody got 5 of them. He did mention that their current shipments of Q6600's are being done by a third party, so they may have put in some G0's without letting ClubIT know. He...

    In this thread we will keep a tab on Q6600 prices

    I just called ClubIT and bitched about "someone" getting 6 processors and having proof that he purchased them from ClubIT. Rep said he'd email the manager of the warehouse and have him check the Q6600's for me. He said he'd call back today, likely within an hour. I'll let you guys know what...

    How hard will it be to find the G0 stepping Q6600 come end of July?

    I'm debating whether or not to pre-order the Q6600 G0 stepping from TankGuys. If I do, I'll have to wait until possibly mid-way through August or later to get it from them. If I don't, there's a chance I might be able to pick up the CPU from NewEgg or elsewhere and get it faster than...

    Trying to decide on a motherboard...

    New G0 setup? There's more than one version of the Q6600? Is this a different version releasing on July 22 or am I missing something? Excuse my ignorance on this subject :P So then... should I go with the IP35? Heat is an issue with me, maybe not right away but when I overclock it will...

    Trying to decide on a motherboard...

    I'm kind of torn between either the Q6600 or either the E6750/6850... not really sure which would be my best bet. Any reason why you chose the Q6600? MGM out

    Trying to decide on a motherboard...

    I know this is getting kind of off topic, but between the E6850 and the Q6600, which is the better buy? They're both the same price. I'll be using my pc for both gaming and multi-tasking... And will the DS3P support both processors? MGM out

    Trying to decide on a motherboard...

    Alright, then between the IP35 (Regular edition :P) and the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P, which one should I get? Which is the better mobo of the two? Is the E6850 one of the 1066fsb CPU's? MGM out

    Trying to decide on a motherboard...

    on Newegg, for the GA-P35-DS3P, it says this for memory standards: DDR2 667/800(1066OC) What does it mean by 1066OC? Besides the extra PCI-E slot and IEEE port, is that the only difference between the DS3P and DS3R? MGM out

    What's the difference between that IP35 and the IP35-E? I've never heard of G.Skill before... I usually stick to Corsair, are these any good: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820145034 MGM out

    Hey everyone, I've been doing some research to build a new pc at the end of this month. At the moment, I've already bought my video card (8800 GTX), power supply (Corsair HX620), case (Antec P182), and the hard drive and DVD burner. I've also bought the G15 keyboard and MX518 mouse. All...

    Some help needed in getting a processor

    What about upgrades? If I wanted to upgrade the processor to, say, an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ in a few months would I be able to without hassle? (I know very little about motherboards and processors outside of GHz, sorry if I sound like a n00b :P) MGM out

    Some help needed in getting a processor

    I'm building a new computer and I'm undecided on which of the following two processors I should get. They're both awesome and I can afford them both, but while looking online I find that both have their pros and cons and I can't figure out which one is better. My choices are: Intel Pentium 4...
