The deal is for a E6600, P965 and 6 gigs of DDR 2 for about $150 or so Currently have a Opteron 165 x 2500, 3 gigs of DDR400 on Gigabyte SLI NF4 board, with Geforce 9500 expect to be able to resell opeteron and such to offset most of the cost. basically expect end up spending $50 or so after...

So I spent more money than I should have on an upgrading an AMD 3000+ to an Opteron 165 system out of stubbornness, seen a deal on a E6600 and motherboard, so the question is it worth it to upgrade to that, selling of opty and other motherboard to offset cost?. System is targeted at web and...

I have a can of engine degreaser I use to clean procs sometimes. It will cut through most any thermal compound stuff. Just a bit of the foam is plenty. Just watch the fumes, and clean it off promptly, clean well afterwards, etc.

yep, standard IHS on it... took care mounting the FHS. Seems solid contact & good performance. Still having issues with CORE 2 failing.

Hey all So got an Opteron 165, stepping CCBE 0617FMPW, am using a Scythe Ninja Revision B with a generic 120mm fan at the moment. Anyway, had some temp probs and had to remount the FHS, but is doing well now. Anyway, I noticed in Everest ultimate edition that like, for instance right now...

hey all I have(had) a 19" Hyundai Imagequest L90D+, it's 3 years 8 months old, out of warranty unfortunately. I've never had any problems with it, but this morning while doing normal computer stuff, the power started cycling on the monitor and video cut out. I tried hitting the power button...

Ahh yeah, that would explain why I didn't see the Q6600 for sale at Newegg, will try to come up with extra cash to snag a Q6600, guess I could wait on extra memory longer. Now to sell some old stuff. Thanks for your input everyone.

I RMA'd a board a couple years ago. I believe I still had all the accessories and books (I throw all my manuals in a box under the bed, makes it easy to return/resell). They probably won't ding you for the manual. They can still sell it as an Open box, which is bare board. I've done 3 or 4...

Thanks Danny/Tiraides, you've given me some food for thought. After some research I have decided on an economical upgrade that I can swing by selling off my extra hardware and throwing in a little cash. This is what I am looking it. $120 - GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX...

Hmm, I don't absolutely need SLI, but I like the idea of flexibility it offers. I tend to buy older hardware, especially since I am running 2 systems. Never examined SLI value too much. Obviously, the PSU requirements are ridiculous these days. But truthfully, I am more worried about expanded...

Well, I bought the extra memory first, which I dumped $110 into. I didn't expect to have the extra 300 or so. The 9500GT isn't exactly an old grade. So what I was trying to do was to upgrade both systems for under $500. I kind of jumped without looking on the DDR. Though I suppose I could try to...

Hey all (Sorry this is kind of long, been a twisting path of an upgrade saga so far) So, I've been running a dual system setup using the Synergy software for a couple of years now. (I bought a new case and ended up building two whole systems, one frankensteined from the old parts, and one...
