Does anybody know if Intel intends to release 4mb l2 cache versions of the allendale c2d? Or will the 4mb new releases be restricted to conroes? Thanks! Horacio

Uhm, that sounds sweet :D ;) Great to know, Tanky, thanks!

Nice to know it is really good for cooling :) Will it fit a Tuniq Tower if I remove the air duct? Thanks for the reply!

Just one thing: Air flow around my case is rather poor, since it is trapped in a piece of furniture with only the front opening, so good air flow is essential. ;)

Other thing: Can the Corsair handle overclocks well? Will I have a problem with mine?

Hi all. I am about to buy a new pc and am still deciding on which case I'll use. I first thought about Coolermaster's Centurion 5. However, it is quite big for what I will be using.( 5x5.25" is too much). If I find a smaller one that provides just as much air flow as the Centurion 5 I will...

Uhm, I really did think Coolermasters weren't that bad. *moving on to Corsairs* ;) Rebates aren't for me, since I'm from Brazil :mad: The Corsair 520HX is running at $130 at newegg. Unfortunately, clubit doesn't have the 520hx for sale, but their 620hx is at $138, so I guess that will...

Hi all. I'm putting together an overclocked C2D system. I've been at it for nearly two months, but I am finally coming to a conclusion and things seem to be coming together fine. I'l have a E4300 running at around 3.0ghz on a GA-965P-DS3 Rev 3.3. I'll use a 1gb stick of G Skill DDR2 800mhz...

Good news! :) I can't say it isn't a bit odd to get a 3.3 inside a 2.0 box :rolleyes: , but as long as the board is a 3.3 that's fine :D what ram did you get, outspoken? is it working fine with the ds3? what vdimm are u using? Good luck with your new set!

Hi all. I am thinking about purchasing a lcd display, perhaps a 17" or a 19" one, depending on it's price. What I'm concerned about are the so called "native resolutions", the ones manufacturers say the display was meant to be used with. When playing games, sometimes my pc won't be able to...

outspoken, could you please let us know how things went between you and clubit after you receive your mobo? It would be nice to know the rev number, also :D

kirbyrj, that's nice to know, thanks! any other experiences with ram and the ds3 are welcome, still :)

Uhm, I guess I'm really going for the DS3, but my point really is: what would be better? A. 7x430 ~ 3.0Ghz with Ram at 860mhz 1:1 B. 8x375 = 3.0Ghz with Ram at 937mhz 4:5 Does the performance drop of using 4:5 justify going for lower fsbs a 1:1? I mean, is A better than B or, at...

Hi all. I'm about to puchase a new motherboard together a whole new computer. I am thinking about going for the biostar Tforce 965pt or gigabyte's DS3. However, I'm concerned about turning on my pc and having to flash my bios right away for ram incompatibility. I'm buying a single stick...

Mike, I hadn't thought about the different straps, do you guys think this will make some difference? Btw, I never really knew what they really meant, anyway, can any of you please explain it to me?

Hi all! I am trying to put together a nicely overclocked C2D system and still stick to a budget. However, I intend to run my ram at 500mhz. Finding a mothermoard able to reach 500mhz fsb stable that fits my budget (~$170) has been quite tough and I am about to give up on my search. Therefore...

And what's with these straps? I know there's a 800, a 1066 and a 1333 one, but I don't know what that means, could you guys explain it to me?

Hi, I am deciding on which motherboard to buy to go with my C2D. I plan to overclock it and use high fsbs, something around 500, so I need a mobo that can take +500 fsb (500 stable) What do you think of the Biostar Tforce 965PT? Do you think it can reach high fsbs? What about vdimm, is it...

tickle_me_emo, what is a recertified item? Is it a bad item that was fixed/replaced by the factory?

Apoxi, I see you have a eVGA 7900GS, but your sig says it's SC revision, what does that stand for? Rock&Roll, is this the one you are talking about? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814131027 Thanks, guys

Hi everyone :) I'm putting together a new computer for gaming. It'll be a C2D with ddr800 at 1000mhz. I intend to play, among other games, Oblivion. I am sticking to $150-$170 video cards, so I don't expect to have great performance. I do expect, however, to be able to play Oblivion with...

I am thinking about buying a DS3, but I'm still searching for the right one :)

Actually I'm going to lower it's multi to 8x or 7x and then see what I can do with the fsb, but I would like to have some overhead just for the sake of stability :) Now about the stabiliy issues, they concerned any cpu, the problem was having the board stand higher fsbs. I guess it had to do...

I need a motherboard that can stand high fsbs ( abit higher than 500) stable. I've thought about DS3, but some peoples' reports seem quite disapointing (random revisions and some stability issues). I'm siticking to <$160 :( Thanks, Horacio

Hi, I'm putting together a C2D system based on the E4300 and I plan on overclocking it up to 3.0-3.4ghz. If I use it's stock multi, I'll have something around 350-360fsb, and since I'm planning to use some nice ddr800 that can reach 1000mhz that's way below 500mhz. Will it be harder to...

Hi there, first post here :D I am trying to decide on some ram to buy and, now, I'm pretty sure I'm going for GSkills ddr800 1gb ones. I'm planning on overclocking them, but I'm not going extreme here. I'm going to use a DS3 with a E4300, aiming for the 3.0-3.5 range. What happens is that...
