I went from [email protected] to a [email protected] It's night and day, in my mind. My wife still gets lots of play time on the Q6600, but I'm very happy that I upgraded.

Sounds like you just didn't stick to it 12 years ago. The real question isn't whether you're in over your head. The question should be: are you willing to really apply yourself to figure it all out. That is BS about "you get it or you don't". Just study hard, keep working on the...

^ that Typically, if I think "I want to do X with JS", jquery is the first place I look :)

I've noticed that some W7 dialogs say I'm running my 2500k at 5.8Ghz. If only...

Yeah, for $12 that's solid. Just making sure the OP wasn't suckered in by the "ooh intel shiny". I'm really easy to sucker in with the shiny toys (just ask my wife). Trying to help out fellow addict :D

I second that. I've run a 5830, 4890, and gtx 460 on a 235hz, and they all look really smooth at 120Hz. For kicks, I dropped my display (on a 460 now), to 60Hz, and the difference was immediately noticable. Jarring, even. Then again, I'm the type of guy who cannot watch a 60Hz DLP because...

$60 for that cooler seems, uh, crazy. If you're gonna drop that kind of cash, just go buy a Silver Arrow, Venemous X, or something else heavy duty. I see Silver Arrows for sale < $70 fairly often.

Probably. Though you might be hard pressed to even measure the difference outside of a specially built lab.

Found the zalman vf2000: http://www.zalman.com/eng/product/Product_read.asp?Idx=339 Based on the dimensions, it looks like it should fit with about 5mm to spare. It's also priced ok (one site has it for $36 shipped). I might just try it.

Any luck? I, uh, had a moment and broke 2 fins off of my palit's cooling fan (damn, that thing's brittle!). I've been desperately searching for an aftermarket alternative and have failed miserably. Those thermalright units are like $70 and I doubt they'd even fit. No way I'm spending that...

I just went into the SSD Toolbox. There are two buttons: Run Fast and Run Full Diagnostic Scan. That's what I was referring to. I'm not sure if they'll turn anything up, but who knows. As for being full, I didn't realize that made a difference. I thought SSDs had a lot of extra space...

Honestly, just tell him to boot into the EFI and set the multiplier to 40. Tell him to watch his temps and he'll be fine. I honestly wouldn't go higher than 4Ghz on stock cooling. I've read reports of 4.2Ghz, but that seems like pushing it to me. I know I'm avoiding the question, but I don't...

Make sure you learn computer architecture. The best programmers we've hired have a good, solid understanding of how a computer *works*. You need to understand instruction sets, cache (and the various types), memory, interrupts, etc. OS theory is really important, too. How a scheduler works...

OP - I'm running with the same drive and mobo as you, and my as-ssd scores are actually better than your p35 scores (total score of 411). The only difference I can see is that I did a fresh install of win7, whereas you swapped. Did the SSD toolbox diagnostics flag anything? Is SuperFetch...

Maybe: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1576710 I have an A70 on a Q6600 @ 3.3, which generates a lot more heat than SB will. The A70 does a good job, keeping it <=40C idle and <=67C under stress testing. The coolers you list will all do better, but for the money, the A70 is my...

O.o Anyway, for the OP: I think you just hit a wall with your chip/cooling. 90C seems pretty crazy high, I'm wondering if you just saturated what the cooler can handle? I'm running a p67pro + 2500k + silver arrow, and hwmonitor reports 1.32 vcore. My hottest core hits 56C under prime...

Why does everyone think the 8/8 split is a bottleneck? Test after test has shown it's got minimal impact. For tri-580.. sure, you'll probably want x58. But 8/8 is plenty for ANY dual card setup.

Why don't you like it at 1.6? It should clock right back up as soon as you're under load. Do you notice slowness?

What are you guys seeing? I'm curious to see what kinds of overclocks are being achieved. As for myself, I'm running a 2500K + Silver Arrow + P8P67 Pro. 4.5 GHz was very easy with 1.15 IO and 1.275 core. Not bad, IMO. I'm thinking higher would be achievable with more voltage, but I'm going...

Picked up my 2500k today. Yay!

Comparing them directly is like saying "my pickup truck hauls more stuff than your ferrari, so clearly your ferrari is a POS." This has nothing to do with low-level or high-level code. Eclipse is a totally different animal from vim/emacs. I use both vim and eclipse, and they are for different...

Dang... it's a 1:20 drive for me to the closest MC in Cinci. It would suck if they were sold out. Oh well, going for one anyway :D

Ruby was my scripting language of choice, and python replaced it. I just think python is far more readable. Ruby's better for making quick-n-dirty, terse scripts. However, it often ends up producing something almost perl-like (*shudder*). As for switching languages, ambientZ is right. It's...

I did a very quick google, and it looks like java has the concept of a cookie store. So you should be able to save the auth cookie (the link I posted covers that), then put it in the cookie store, then make your http connection. I'm guessing java will use the cookie in the store and send it up...

Because, like the rest of us, you're drooling over a new CPU? :D It's gonna be depressing to stare at all the other parts for a week and wait for SB to hit shelves.

Awesome. Thanks for the coupon code. P8P67 Pro ordered. Yeehaw! Here's hoping SB really goes on sale tomorrow. All my other parts are ordered :D

Hehe, you're not alone. Those asus boards are pretty ugly. EFI > looks, IMO. Good point about the heatsinks, though... That VRM heatsink (the one that looks like the sydney opera house) does look pretty freaking big. The only pic is angled, so it's really hard to see exactly how big that...

Both the Noctua NH-D14 and Silver Arrow are better, IMO. They also appear similarly price. Beware frosty tech's charts. The Zalman may appear quieter, but it's actually louder once you turn up the fans to get performance close to the silver arrow and noctua coolers. FT gives you so much...

I looked over asus site, and I don't think there's a 200 under there. The specs list "2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (single at x16 or dual at x8/x8 mode)". I think gigabyte is doing the same thing. The UD4 has an extra heatsink with a heat pipe. I'm not sure it really does anything at all. I think I'm...

It fits in my Antec 300, though it's a little tight.

Once they started spamming me with 10 popups in every story, I quit going back. Interesting to see the downward spiral continues.

Ok, so maybe it's not just me :) I get a lot of stuttering in Fallout NV, and it drives me batty. I had myself convinced it was in my head.

With a Q6600 @ 3.3GHz I got a 3.61

Definitely. We interview a lot of people just to find anyone who seems to know what they're doing. It's kind of depressing to see how many candidates apply and cannot write even a simple program.

Yeah, whatever that is, it sounds really hot to me. My overclocked 460 doesn't even get that hot in furmark. I wonder if it's a calibration/sensor issue?

Go Kyle. This is ridiculous.
