    E6600 1 core idling at 4-5 C above the other. Normal?

    I'm actually having the same issue. My core #0 is idling 3-4 degrees below core #1. At idle I'm getting 33 C / 37 C. With load they become closer, with about 49 C / 51 C. So that is normal? Since my temps are within the norm on both cores I don't have to have to sand down the IHS etc if it will...

    E6700 - Temps High?

    Actually, I think I found part of the problem. For some strange reason, when I open NVIEW Monitor to check the temp of my GPU on my 8800 GTX my temp's rise about 5-6 degrees on the CPU. Even after I close the app the CPU temp's stay up. It happens everytime I reboot, and no mater the time delays...

    Bad Axe 2 + Freezer Pro 7 - HELP!

    Yes, I've mounted the fan one fin higher but the fan shouldn't have much to do with the heatshink moving. My heatshink is firmly attached and won't budge. I can push on it of course but it's securely attached.

    E6700 - Temps High?

    Hi, I've just built my new system with a Bad Axe 2 mobo and an E6700 and am a little concerned about the temps so far. I had some issues getting the arctic freezer 7 pro installed and had to mount the clip on fan one fin higher on the heatsink. Right now I'm noticing when I first start the...

    Bad Axe 2 + Freezer Pro 7 - HELP!

    Great thanks! That's what I'm hearing from most people. I've heard one person say they cut the frame of the bottom of the fan out to fit but without overclocking the e6700 I doubt I'll need to. From what I hear if I do raise it up a one fin level on the fan clip, I should watch the temp. and...

    Bad Axe 2 + Freezer Pro 7 - HELP!

    Hi, I'm noticing some problems with fitting the Artic Freezer Pro 7 on my Intel Bad Axe 2 motherboard and was hoping to get some advice. When installed as suggested with the air blowing towards the rear exhaust fan the chipset heatsink is interferring with the 92mm fan clip. I can push it in...

    Help selecting motherboard (E6700)

    The ram I'm actually looking to get is OCZ Platinum Revision 2GB DDR2 800 so hopefully it accepts it. So far it seems like the most stable board I've seen. I've read that the Intel XBX2 only supports RAM to 667 but on Newegg and on Intel's site it states it supports up to DDR2 800. I just wanted...

    Help selecting motherboard (E6700)

    Well, I'm not planning on overclocking anything on this system and I'm going with an 8800 GTS video card so now SLI or Crossfire is in my future either. I'm really just looking for the most stable board out of the box with the E6700 and 2gb mushkin DDR2800 ram. The Intel looks from the reviews...

    250gb SATA - Best Drive?

    Hi, I'm looking for a few 250gb SATA drives to setup in a raid array on a new system and am having trouble deciding on a model. From the reviews I'm seeing it looks like the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Perpendicular Recording) model is leading the way. Is that actually true? Since it's a new...

    Help selecting motherboard (E6700)

    I did a little more research on the Intel 975 XBX2 and from the reviews it seems like it's the most stable board if you're not overclocking (which I won't be). I'm leaning towards this one since it seems like a good stable board. The reviews I've read off newegg for the P5B and P5W seem pretty...
