Season 2 was my fav by far

For air cooling the NH-D15, Silver Arrow SB-E and PH-TC14PE are the top dogs

Nice cooler. I'll be getting one. I am amazed on the 200W thermal test at how the NH-U14S was almost able to keep up with the D15 with its single tower design.

I've got an HVR-2250 purchased from Newegg a few months back, opened but never had the time to set up. Never used. $90 shipped

I have 5 120mm Yate Loons all at 7v and have the 200mm fan on low. You can hear a low hum/air movement. It's logical though that this is not a silent case--- the front panel is comprised of ventilated grills. And there's also the huge opening for the 200mm fan. But I just love the open air...

If you're keeping this for the next 2-3 years, I would definitely go quad core

The e6420 also has a hefty 4MB of cache

bump for looking

Highwhey, Paypal is sent for the e6400.

skytripa, nice case setup

May i ask where you are getting the case. i am looking for 1 also

If you want both, the P180 is great. The 900 is a fairly quiet case, but not as quiet as the P180. It depends on if you want extreme cooling (900)

Incredible setup man! All top notch components

I love the size. I always thought the P180 was a little too tall for my taste

I've got a dell sx270, they are tiny!

What a fun case to work on! it looks so sleek.

Nice and powerful!

The Antec nsk2480 is a great htpc case. one of the only ones that utilize 120mm fans. 2 of them!

It is a little tough to get both ends on. The first end is easier

Nice OC, but the temps are up there

I've got a TRUE on an OCed Q6600 at 3.0. Temps never go above 50C (Prime95 and core temp)

Looks like a great system for the Corsair HX520. And it is in your price range.

Just get the best TRUE 120. It's like an extra 10 bucks for years of joy

The Raptor sounds just like a coffee percolator. It's loud, but not THAT annoying. It has a lower pitch sound to it. Sounds like your typical HDD in the late 90s early 2000; very similar to a 13.6gb 7200rpm Maxtor drive I had.

Go Quad, good prep for the future. Imagine the poor souls who was in your situation a few years back and decided to stay single core instead of dual

Nice post above. Here's another link that shows differences between 4MB and 2MB: http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=2795&p=4 In some instances (encoding) it can be ~10%. In other words the e6600 at 3.0 is fast as e6400 at 3.3 in encoding. I'd go for the 4MB chips. Which one...

Is this the Northwood or Prescott version?

I Paypaled this guy $140 for an e6600 processor, and have not heard any response back from him in 5 days. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1208101

Isn't it a $10 rebate?

So generally speaking, which board would you buy? A rev3.3 for $130 or a rev1.3 for $100?

Bump for a good seller!

I was asking this because the e6300 and e6400 OC very well with the DS3, while the e6600 does not. The e6600 fares better with the 975 boards. Some were saying that it was because of the 4MB cache. So now that the e6320 and e6420 have 4MB of cache, will they still OC well with the DS3? I was...

Yes, AND how well do they overclock on a DS3. Do they have overclock characteristics on the DS3 like an e6400 or e6600?

So it turns out they're all Conroe

Slot 1 keychains? That's some big-ass keychains.. haha

I just saw the 900 in person at fry's today and I thought it looked awesome. I had never heard of it until I saw it there. The thing looks mean and is very sturdy. I thought it was the best looking case there on display.

"appears to be MORE capable"

Yeah, I don't think it makes sense for Intel to release a significant processor and come out with 2 versions (2 different codenames) at the same time. I checked the intel site and did a search for "conroe" and came up with ~100 hits. I then did a search for "allendale" and it came up with 0...

I've heard most call them Allendale, but some have corrected them by saying the E6300 and E6400 are still Conroe since they have the same architecture and cache on the processor, but with 2 MB disabled. So what's the final answer?
