    Any Q6600/Q6700 owners unable to break 3.0GHz?

    Well I finally got something to boot beyond 3.0GHz. I lurked moar at the EVGA overclocking forums and found some recommended settings suggested by a few people, did my own analysis, and decided to tweak mine some. Here's what I tried on a whim: CPU: 10x333=3.33GHz (1333fsb) Voltages: vCORE =...

    Any Q6600/Q6700 owners unable to break 3.0GHz?

    Early adopter. This is an upgrade on an older system, otherwise I would have steered clear of the 680i. Thanks for the offer, but I've just bought this chip and I'm not interested in having to turn around and sell it just yet. Could you post the voltages you're running those two chips at to...

    Any Q6600/Q6700 owners unable to break 3.0GHz?

    I'm a recent buyer of a Q6700 and a custom water cooling kit. Of course, the kit was bought with overclocking in mind, but I've hit an absolute roadblock. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will even BOOT beyond 3.0GHz @ 1.45v (set in BIOS, reading 1.42v here idling, 1.38v with Prime95 loaded). Even...

    New and Improved Watercooling Sticky - Post Your Systems Here

    (lol @ drawing from the kids if you'd like) Side fan readjustment was interesting and probably did absolutely nothing for me. Oh well.

    n00b takes the plunge - kit here, questions

    Well, I've finally finished my build (this is being posted from said upgraded machine), and I'm pretty proud of it. It may not be the best looking thing in the world but it certainly gets the job done. I'm idling at about 26C on each core, and I'm going to overclock it soon. =) PICS...

    n00b takes the plunge - kit here, questions

    Hello all of you water cooling vets and newcomers! I've been frequenting here and some other forums that focus on water cooling for a while and have decided to take the plunge. With the purchase of my Q6700 I am also installing a water cooling kit into the case at the same time. Here's what...

    Watercooling has never been as sweet as in the new house

    That's what I was thinking when I first posted.

    Watercooling has never been as sweet as in the new house

    In b4 condensation? In all seriousness, won't that put you at a risk for condensation if you're running that cold?

    How to play XviD in Vista

    Are you using the x64 version of WMP though? The 64 bit version of Vista defaults to use the 32 bit version. Meh, I suppose I could just switch to 32-bit and stop being stubborn... >_>

    H.264 Splitter for x64 WMP 11

    With the advent of ffdshow64 builds, I'd like to play some H.264 encoded .mov files in Windows Media Player (64-bit). I've gone through and manually enabled the x64 version of WMP (/SwapTo:64 and the registry edit), so any 32-bit splitter won't work. Haali's Media Splitter worked for me in...

    How to play XviD in Vista

    Just a quick question on the Combined Community Codec Pack- does it work with WMP11 x64? I'd like to run WMP in 64-bit, but I suppose I could go through and kick it down to 32 bit again. >_< I'm using Vista Ultimate.

    How to play XviD in Vista

    Have you tried the Vista Codec Package or FFDShow? I think both of them play XviD files just fine. EDIT: I know that the Vista Codec Package works, because that's what I've installed on my machine (Vista Ultimate x64) and it can play the XviD sample on their website just fine without...
