Isn't opinion a valid substantiation of a heavily (though not entirely) qualitative-based criteria of "bang for the buck?" If doing a dollar-to-benchmark based comparison, aren't you STILL looking at something that might not really reflect the incremental additional value received? 2 seconds...

Worked great. Thanks for posting it. Couple items of note from someone without much hex experience (for those of you like me) : There are more numbers than what are shown there. I just messed with the 5x8 grid of 2-digit number groups. Be careful, you aren't just changing the values...

I understand the iphone being prorated across the years in which the selling price is subsidized by AT&T, but why are the ipod sales not being recognized correctly by GAAP? Admittedly, I am not up to date on Apple's sales programs, nor am I an employee in their accounting department. I am...

PSU? Mobo?

I plugged those in, and they got me in the OS running prime95. Core 1 failed after 3 minutes. Does that mean more CPU Voltage? Are 62C Temps normal full-load for 3.3ghz on a S1283?

I didn't bother installing any of the asus software, I was referring to the stuff asus built in to the bios. Where the settings show non-quantitative values, and you are only given a brief description as to what the settings do. Like the "AI Clock Twister" or something like that. I didn't know...

Ok, mine is 1.325. I have it at 1.35 currently, 100% stable at 3.0ghz. I haven't dropped the voltage any lower than that to test so far. None of my games make the temps break 50C, so I think I still want to go farther. I redid the TIM like in the above link, and got a couple degrees cooler...

I thought the stock voltage was 1.325? If it isn't, what is it? I have all other voltages set to default, and my PCI bus set to 100. My fan also shows up as only running at 800rpm in the bios, how do I get it to run faster? I changed the Q-Fan thing to turbo, which supposedly makes it run at...

Q6600 G0 Xigmatek 1283 G. Skill DDR2 1000 P5Q Pro Seasonic 550w PSU I put the TIM (AS5) on the heatsink, instead of the processor. I figured that it would help fill the gaps. But now i'm second guessing myself. It was more than I usually put on (when i'm putting it on the processor) but I...

Update: Got the motherboard back today, installed everything, and it's working great. Gold star to those who guessed Mobo.

Multi-boxing is fun, but more than 2 copies at the same time is a bit much. I enjoyed using the multi-boxing programs to help level a character on my girlfriend's account and my account, simultaneously.If I actually had to buy and pay for the extra accounts, I can't see myself having as much...

Entering!

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8894048&type=product&id=1212192380239 HD4870 w/ Lifetime Warranty for $75 cheaper. Shipping will be extra, unless you can "site to store" (buy online, pick up in store).

I was in the same boat as you, with nearly all the same questions. You might want to look up my post (I haven't posted here much so it shouldn't be difficult), I think it will help you. The 8200 is the "replacement" for the Q6600. But it seems to be more oriented towards low power...

Ok, I have one vote for the motheerboard then. Is it possible it was the CPU? I had it installed correctly (heck it ran for 3 weeks without a problem). I'm leaning towards motherboard, because I didn't get any error beeps at all. Would it post with a bad processor/no processor?
