    OCing E6600 -> 3.6ghz, Asus P5W

    I still need help with FSB, MCH, and ICH voltages. The system just isn't stable at 3.6ghz with those voltages on auto. If you have a similar overclock, what is yours at? Better yet, how do u figure out what to put it at? Do you just overvolt and then go down a knotch each time and test it?

    OCing E6600 -> 3.6ghz, Asus P5W

    Are you saying 2.4ghz to 3.6ghz isn't heavy overclocking? If so, then do I just put those settings on auto or something else?

    OCing E6600 -> 3.6ghz, Asus P5W

    I'd like to OC my E6600 processor to 3.6ghz on an Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard. I read some articles about P5W having "crappy" thermal paste. Is this still true? Everything is already assembled and it'd be a pain to have to take everything out, but I'll do it if it really helps. Anyway, my...

    Building a gaming rig, which parts to get?

    By the look of those reviews it seems like I should stick w/ the corsair, eh?

    Building a gaming rig, which parts to get?

    There's a really good deal at Frys for the Ultra ULT31848 X-Finity 600W ($65 - $65 MIR). Basically, it's free, with the exception of tax + shipping. Should I get it or stick with the Corsair 520HX?

    Building a gaming rig, which parts to get?

    After going back and forth on a few parts I've decided to go with Enginurd's first reply build save for 2 parts: Case: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811129021 CPU: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819115003 I have one question regarding my hard-drive...

    Case comparison

    I'm building a gaming computer w/ gigabyte ds3 mainboard, E6600 oc'd to 3.6GHz, and an 8800gts 320mb. Those specs are just to give an idea of how much space/cooling I might need. Any ideas for my case? I was wondering, how does a case like...

    Building a gaming rig, which parts to get?

    I just want to be able to play WoW at high quality; I don't think I see any more games in the near future, if at all. Here's an interesting article regarding WoW and graphics cards: http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTE5OCw5LCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==. I wasn't really considering the GTX...

    Building a gaming rig, which parts to get?

    OK! I'm thinking E6600 and 10k rpm raptor. EDIT: *Although, I just read that the seagate 7200 is just as fast as the raptor. Is that true? How is 7200 as fast as 10k?* So which mobo would you go with given that set-up, the P5N-E SLI, MSI P6N SLI-FI, or a different one? Also, would that cause...

    What do you mean by easier? Less cooling? Also, what about 10k rpm?

    Building a gaming rig, which parts to get?

    Thanks for the build Enginurd! But I gotta say I was expecting more people to give suggestions... Or is Enginurd's build so solid that nobody dares recommend anything different? On a serious note, though, I was wondering why not P5N-E SLI or MSI P6N SLI-FI? And what do you think about an E6600...

    Building a gaming rig, which parts to get?

    Game - World of Warcraft Monitor - Dell 2407WFP (already have) Budget - $750-$1500 I need a computer that will run WoW + background programs (fraps, AIM, excel, mozilla, etc.) flawlessly (60 fps) at 1920*1200 res. on my 24" monitor. Overclocking is fine by me, but it isn't necessary; just...

    Gaming machine, need advice

    Your in-game set-up is pretty much exactly the same as mine; I have vertex animation shaders on as well. I've also tried wiping my addon folder clean, lowering the resolution, as well as turning vsync on/off, none of which altered my fps. I really don't know what it is, but I think it all leads...

    Gaming machine, need advice

    Let's say $1000 just to give an idea; however, I don't upgrade all that often so, while cheaper is better, I need something that won't be outdated very quickly. Overclocked and non-overclocked builds are both alright; I look forward to getting different opinions.

    Gaming machine, need advice

    First of all, I'd like to thank everybody for his/her input. The consensus seems to be that I need a new CPU, which will ultimately lead to a new rig . What I need now is a build, so please give me your suggestions on various parts.
