Just bought my new system!

[LittleNemoNES]

Just got:

e6700
ASUS P5W DH Deluxe
Corsair Elpida Value Select DDR2-667 PC2-5300
All from Zipzoomfly.com $2 shipping :Q

Add to that my current components and I am a happy man. I was tempted to go for x6800 but sanity took ahold of me, thank god!

Of course I hope to OC like crazy.
What do you think?

Waste of money. Think you'll have enough money to pay the $20/month minimum?

 

[LittleNemoNES]

I'll pay it off without the penalty. I have teh monies...just dont wanna have low cash reserves.

HI FIVE gersson!!!

Let us know how that thing OC's!

Haven't seen too many E6700's aroud here, I'm wondering how you'll do.

 

[LittleNemoNES]

I got the 6700 cos of all the recent low OCs with 6600... That and I hope to get a sky high OC.

Renozi, we have very similar PCs... I almost got Corsair XMS2 but I decided against it in the end. What temps are you getting?

I get the parts by the end of the week -- I will report in, certainly.

According to Everest: Idle
CPU: 37C
Core #1: 51C
Core #2: 50C
MB: 41C

My memory is running at 833 4-4-4-8 with auto volts!!

Load Orthos
CPU: 55C
Core #1: 68C
Core #2: 68C
MB: 45C

Those temps are with 25% overclock to 333. With stock I'm getting 29C idle and 40C load LOL. I think its safe to run it at my settings and temps right now. I bought the C2D when they first started shipping so I had to up the vcore to 1.4375. So if you bought yours recently you're gonna overclock way better than me! Have fun gersson! She's b-e-a-uitful!!!

I'm gonna keep you in mind when I get my P5W DH
Where can I find info about the current C2D steppings/weeks?
Looking good!
