1. Yes , you can run them at 60hz in 2d mode if you want to. 2. The difference is night a day to me. After gaming at 120hz with 120 fps then going back to 60, it just seems SO much smoother at 120hz. Even simply moving your mouse around in windows is a night a day difference to me. Hope...

More than enough

I would still highly recommend a fresh format to have it running properly. You will more than likely run into issues installing multiple different motherboard chipset drivers. Fresh install is always recommended when changing motherboards especially if its an entirely new platform. Good luck...

you must do a fresh install of windows! now format and get to it!

You absolutely have to do a fresh install of windows!

Socket 775 heatsinks use a 72mm x 72mm hole spacing. Socket 1156 heatsinks are set to 75mm x 75mm. Intel socket 1366 heatsinks on the otherhand use a 80mm x 80mm hole spacing. Most manufacturers are releasing brackets with their Intel heatsinks that will bridge the different spaces... but not...

no, 1155 is a different socket, that fan from your q6600 wont fit.

Congrats on your new rig man. The extra money you spent is well worth it over that X4 you were going to buy. I upgraded from a Q6600 @ 3.6 to a 2600K @ 4.5 and the difference is night and day. Bad Company 2 runs so much smoother on the 2600k (using a gtx580 on both machines). Enjoy!

I am idling right now pulling 150 watts from the wall with the Sandy rig + gtx 580. Like I said never exceeds 400 under load. Don't know man. lol. I think the need for beefy power supplies is greatly over rated as stated before I even ran the 580 on a 520 watt power supply for a month without...

As Lord stated however, if you decide to overclock the video card to extreme levels you can see a signigicant power draw increase of around 50 to 75 more watts.

I disagree. I have a 2600K overclocked to 4.5ghz @ 1.35v, 8 gig ram (all 4 slots filled), 2 hard drives, cd drive, Asus GTX 580, 650 watt Seasonic X-Series. I also have a APC power supply that measures wattage being drawn. My system *never* sees over 400 watts power draw under full load. Also...

So we can't use EZFlash anymore from the EFI?

Add me please. =)

Yes , you will be able to do it that way. :)

YOU are the one who is wrong my friend. His original post said "I want Vista gone" so obviously he is running vista at the moment; in which case my method would work fine for him without any regedits. Re-read his original post.
