    Is Fanless Gaming on the E6600 Realistic?

    I have an E6600 with a Thermalright Ultra-120 heatsink and 800 RPM 120mm Scythe Fan. With my current overclocked configuration of 8 * 400 (3.2 Ghz) and 1.325 Vcore under Vista, my idle temps are 40 and load temps 55. Anandtech has some good articles on the Thermalright Ultra-120. Here is...

    Overclocking with XP, then to Vista

    Perhaps, but with the configuration I had Orthos would run without erroring on XP. On Vista, it errors after around 20 minutes. So I backed down my overclock from 3.4 GHz to 3.2 Ghz (Vcore from 1.4 to 1.325) and Orthos ran over 24 hours with any errors. When I had said "stable" I meant with...

    Overclocking with XP, then to Vista

    Has anyone else run across the problem of having a stable overclock with XP, and then not so stable with Vista? Specs: XP Asus P5B Deluxe E6600 (8 * 425) Vcore = 1.4 Temps Idles ~40, and ~60 under load Orthos stable for over 24 hours I recently upgraded to Vista ultimate and noticed...

    where can i get the cheapest p5b deluxe?

    Motherboards are like women. No matter what the flavor, some are good and some are bad. I had a 680i board that fried up, so from that experience I could say it's the most unstable. I RMAed the 680i and got a P5B Deluxe, and so far it's been great.

    P5B Deluxe & External Hard Drive (USB)

    When I reboot the computer with my external hard drive turned on and connected via USB, the computer tries to boot from that drive. When I go into the BIOS, I don't see an option to boot from my internal SATA drive. The only way that option appears is if I turn off the external drive and then...

    Asus P5B-Deluxe: Anything blocked by big video cards?

    I'll agree with that as well :)

    P5B, P5W or 680i?

    It's a feature, not a bug :)

    P5B, P5W or 680i?

    The same thing happens to me with my P5B Deluxe board :)

    How do I know if I have vdroop? (P965)

    It's when you set the value in the BIOS, say to 1.4, but then it reported at 1.35. For example, with my P5B-Deluxe board I have Vcore set to 1.4 in the BIOS. However, it's actually reported as 1.35 with CPU-Z and other programs. The only real way to measure it I suppose would be to use a...

    P5B Deluxe: 16x PCIe slot running at 1x!!!

    Are you overclocking? What BIOS revision are you using? This is a known issue with the P5B Deluxe and there doesn't appear to be one universal fix. For me, I had to manually set the Northbridge and Soutbridge voltages to fix it.

    Gaming Sound Card with SPDIF

    I decided to go with the XtremeGamer card and the home theater cable since I have analog inputs available. I think that will be good enough for me :)

    Gaming Sound Card with SPDIF

    Thanks, but I think that will only support stereo SPDIF. But maybe that's all I need - I don't know :)

    Gaming Sound Card with SPDIF

    Thanks! Will that work with the X-Fi XtremeGamer Card? It's not specifically listed in the link you provided.

    Gaming Sound Card with SPDIF

    Thanks - I see that I can get this from NewEgg for 49.99 after a $20 rebate. I'm assuming that the Sound Blaster Home theater cable would work with this?
