    Project: P182, Cleanup

    Wow, that's a freaken sweet lookin case! I have a question though. Since you took the metal grill off the front, you don't have the dust filter on there anymore. Does your system get really dusty and dirty on the inside after a while? How often do you go in and clean your case? And what's...

    Q6600 - Which stepping did you get?

    Q6600 - Which stepping did you get?

    Same here... I should've just waited to be sure... Will they let you exchange for a G0? We'd probably have to eat the shipping back to NCIX and shipping of the G0 back to us right? That might not even be worth it.

    HOWTO: Overclock C2D Quads and C2D Duals - A Guide v1.0

    I was wondering the same thing and I found this on the AS website. You just put AS5 onto the CPU in a line and let the HS spread it out in a "pancake" shape. So you don't spread it yourself. Hope this helps!

    Overclocking a Q6600 with PC2-6400 RAM help!!

    Thanks for all the info guys. Also, although the ram has 5-5-5-15 timings, is it still possible to tighten these from my motherboard? Or is the 5-5-5-15 timings mean that it is definitely unstable at lower numbers?

    Q6600 - Which stepping did you get?

    Has anyone purchased a Q6600 from antaresdigital.com? If so, is it B3 or G0? The price is just 276 and it's one of the few sites with no tax in CA. I'm also thinking of getting the Asus P5K for $138. Anyone know if that's a good board for OC? Thanks guys and good luck!
