I went with the P5B. I was concerned about having enough space for the Ninja if I went with the P5W DH (considering the heat pipes/sinks all over the place around the socket). That, and the fact that it costs $100 more than the P5B, for a bunch of features that I don't want/need. WATYF

I agree about the E6600 as the best choice. I also use my rig primarily for multimedia apps (pro audio) and the E6600 was an easy choice. I get the added perf from the 4MB cache and I can do a light OC and get it past the speed of an E6700. And it wipes the floor with an FX-62... all for...

I'm interested in this as well. I'll be using a Ninja (hopefully w/o the fan) on my E6600. As for the case, I'm getting a Antec P150... good airflow and sound dampening. This should be a quiet little rig. The GPU cooler is the only thing that'll be making any noise, and if that gets to be too...

How hot is your E6600 running with the Ninja? Also, do you use the fan (I'm assuming you do, considering the OC), and if so, what RPM/Voltage? I'm going to be running the E6600 with the Ninja at a modest OC, and I want to get an idea of what kind of temps I can expect. WATYF

You know... I really hate all the new RAM choices. It makes it so easy to buy the wrong kind or spend too much. I wish I'd seen this thread before I dropped a bunch on two sticks of Corsair XMS2 PC 6400... I guess I coulda just gone with the PC 4200 and been just as well off. I do plan on...

That's exactly the type of stuff I wanted to hear about... thanks. OK... so a simple 300 FSB bump will get me to 2.7GHz. I'll be running faster than an E6700, but still within a perfectly stable range. WATYF

In general... the Ninja is better if you want more "silent", the Mine is better if you want slightly better cooling. WATYF

This is.... or this. WATYF

No, they won't... and this current episode proves it. I just bought my E6600 yesterday for 100 dollars less than NewEgg was charging. Did it affect me in any way that NewEgg priced their product so high? Did I care, or shed a tear over the fact that NewEgg made that decision? No. Not at all...

OK. I didn't totally understand all that, but thanks. :p I really don't think I'll be OC'ing it that much (i.e. 1 GHz or more)... I really was thinking more along the lines of a simple OC that wouldn't affect stability in the least. The E6700 runs at 2.67, and if I up the FSB on mine to...

Hey.. that didn't take long. :D btw... "supply" isn't the same as "inventory". And "food" isn't the same as a completely optional luxury item that can be priced however the seller wants to price it (since no one has to buy it). Your argument is fundamentally flawed. WATYF

I just snagged one for 100 bucks less than that... and I already got a tracking number... whoo hoo! :D oh yeah... <insert socialist utopian rebuttal to economics argument> <straw man argument> <ad hominem> </thread> WATYF

I just bought all of this: Mobo: Asus P5B CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600 HS/F: Scythe Ninja RAM: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 2GB Kit DDR2-800 XMS2-6400 GPU: eVGA 256-P2-N584-AR GeForce 7900GT (KO) HDD: WD Raptor WD1500ADFD DVD-RW: Benq DW1650 Case: Antec P150 First off... anyone see any problems...

So.. where did you get an E6600 for 357??? WATYF

I think the most important question is... WHEN will you be getting them (and thus, when will *we* be getting them :cool: )? WATYF
