    4850X2

    Don't forget if you go with Dual 4850x2's you are going to need a major PSU and you are going to raise the heat in our case since they exhaust into your case. Not hating on the 4850x2 just something to think about.

    Need help deciding on Mobo.

    I have the P6T and I LOVE IT. However if you aren't going to be overclocking there really isn't any reason to spend the extra money. The MSI is a good board so unless you have a preference to Asus I would save the cash. I'm sure tons of people will argue over this but if you are not playing...

    Is this motherboard issue or CPU issue ?

    You only care about the core temps. (Basically) It is normal for the cores to have different temps because they are going to utilized at different loads. IMO if you are staying under 75c at full load you are fine. On a side note speedfan does strange things, I had a P5DH Deluxe and at...

    i7 temps with memory voltage

    I would guess you are going to have a hard time finding anyone that has tried overvolting past 1.66v. Intel has been very adamant that if you pass this threshold you will damage your chipset. (Which may or may not happen) But with the limited benefit to push the limit I'll be surprised if you...

    Which of these quiet case fans should I pick?

    Buy a Yate Loon the Noctua's may be a db or two quieter but a loon runs for ever and is dirt cheep.

    TRUE vs The New Scythe Mugen 2

    I have the Scythe on my i920 and the temps are great. I lapped the CPU and so far my OC temps have been great. Still doing some testing because every freaking program is a different temp. But worst case at 1.4 volts I hit 81c running core damage so I'd say the Scythe is working very well...

    New Asus P6T build with no boot

    I know this is a dumb question but you do have both the power plugs plugged in to the motherboard right. I'm talking about the extra 12v plug that plugs in

    P6T Non deluxe - any thoughts

    I guess if you are using liquid cooling then you have room. I have the P6T Deluxe and didn't realize they changed the config of the P6T motherboard. Good luck with it let us know what kind of overclock you get out of it.

    i7 920 and P6t problem

    It takes a pretty good amount of pressure to lock the chip down. Here is step by step that might help. http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=602&pgno=1

    New Asus P6T build with no boot

    You can also try just booting the system with 1 stick of RAM I doubt this the issue but the fewer parts you have installed the less that can be wrong. Also unplug the SATA and PATA stuff and try to get a boot.

    P6T Non deluxe - any thoughts

    Umm not sure what you mean about the cooling mounts. You know the 1366 and 775 won't take the same heatsinks?

    Just installed new HSF and one core is hotter than the other

    I would even say having the cores at different temps is more normal than having them the same. I've seen several posts where the temp was 5-7 degrees off. What are the temps you are getting at idle and at load if you are in the normal range then the problem is most likely not the heatsink...

    Two side fans with low CFM or One side fan with high CFM?

    IMO the best choice is the 120mm fan you are getting much much better airflow and only slightly more noise. Look at Yate Loon fans they are dirt cheap and provide good flow.

    Low VCore on Q6600 OC

    That actually sounds pretty normal to me you can run CPU-Z or Core Temp and see what kind of voltage it shows. I wouldn't be to worried though those numbers seem normal.

    Q6600 great B3 stepping

    That sux man I'm sure you have already tried this but just in case. How much did you raise your northbridge voltage that was causeing me problems at first. Once I raised it I was able to get alot more FSB speed.
