    HD 2900XT power requirements?

    If that's the case I think I'll be fine. I'd guess my Oc'ed CPU probably uses up 180w under full, 100% load. Add in a couple 10w HDDS and a few cases fans, and however much my mainboard and DVD suck up - and this is assuming 100% usage.

    HD 2900XT power requirements?

    Hey guys, I'm not sure if this has been answered - I didn't notice any sticky topics on it, so just figured I'd ask. My system is currently running on a Antec 550 HE Neo, it's running 2 Harddrives(300gb Sata, 150gb Raptor), E6600@3.3, about 7 case fans including the CPU fan. I've heard rumors...

    Intel 775, how long will these be supported?

    Hey guys, I just recently upgrade my comp to a 680i, E6600 and 2gig of G-Skill DDR800. I came from a X2 4400, Socket 939 and was upset with the short lifespan of the board as I had only purchased about 9 months prior to this recent upgrade. I was pretty much stuck with what I had, I really had...

    Temp Question...680i, E6660, Enermax 600W

    Well, I have another post on this board about temp probs with the E6600 and that board. I was idling at about 45c, and hitting load temps of about 56-59c. I'm using the 9500CNSP, so, these temps were just unacceptable to me. I ended up exchanging both the board and the proc. Now my idle...

    Temp question for you E6600 Owners.

    Well, I went ahead and returned my 6600 and got another. I lost about 10c off all my temps, highest I've gotten with ORTHOS is 45c, I idle around 35c. And this is just after the install, so the AS5 still needs to Break in yet. So, I think my issues might have just been with my proc, I did notice...

    Temp question for you E6600 Owners.

    Well, I actually use the Ntune software, which reports proetty much identical results compared to Core and TAT. My temps, on average seem to be higher than the norm - maybe they aren't, and I'm probably overreacting. I just don't wanna be stuck with a dud chip. :) The store isn't open quite yet...

    Temp question for you E6600 Owners.

    Well, all I changed was the Vcore to 1.375 to 1.365 - I also changed the FSB to 1500. It seems to be running stable, I let it run all night last night - but when I woke up it had went into Standby mode, which it would not wake from. I'm not sure if that's an indication that it's running unstable...

    Temp question for you E6600 Owners.

    Very odd. Tonight I changed around some stuff - I'm running 3.4 @ 1.375Vcore and I'm getting LOWER temps then I was with lower Vcore voltages and speeds. As I'm typing I'm running 2 instances of Orthos(2 per core) and typing this message - my temps are 54c, with a slightly warm room temp...

    Temp question for you E6600 Owners.

    Thanks for the info man, you guys saved me a lot of trouble returning the CPU. I'm coming from an AMD system, so, these temps kinda alarmed me - but I also didn't have my AMD OC'ed by almost a ghz, lol.

    Temp question for you E6600 Owners.

    Oh really? Are they that bad? I almost kinda want to take it out and check, at least I can return it a couple times and attempt to get a better one. Would probably be a waste of time however - especially if these temps are the norm, my chances of getting anything different would probably be low.

    Temp question for you E6600 Owners.

    Well, that's a relief. I was getting kinda concerned about the temps - I had a multitude of things running through my head. I've heard of people getting concave CPU's before, and I normally check before I mount the HSF - I didn't this time, so, that was a concern. That along with a couple other...

    Temp question for you E6600 Owners.

    Hey guys, I recently just upgraded to the E6600 with a 680i EVGA Mobo. And overall, I love this setup, except for one thing that is - my temps, they are kinda worrying me. I'm using the CNPS9500 with AS5 and a P180 case. My temps aren't in the dangerous levels - but they are higher than I...

    Vegas 6.0 question.

    Hey guys, I've gotten a free copy of Vegas 6.0 off my pal, but I can't save as MPEG1 or 2 formats without registration. So, this is an issue. But, I do have Ulead Videostudio Pro 8.0, a full registered copy. I just happen to like Vegas more. My question is, is there anyway I could use my...

    Very odd CPU issue.

    Nope, it shows the temps at there normal idle range in bios. So yeah, just some weird software complication I'm guessing.

    What kind of gains can I get with a dual core upgrade? (video rendering)

    Me personally, I can't see myself going back to a Single core... scatch that, I won't ever go back to a Single core. Since I got this machine, I've had the most stable, fastest performance I've ever had on a computer. It's insane how much better the Dual Core makes computing Vs my old 3.0 P4 HT...
