I am not a big fan of Asus motherboards but that fan attachment for the heat sink is a smart idea. The motherboard doesnt seem to have Japanese capacitors on the website so I think the motherboard wont last that long. :(
@al11588 i have exactly this motherboard and the intel Q6600 and it works perfectly since 4 years without any errors/fails. it's an very good motherboard and with my MSI GTX460 Cyclone 1024MB GDDR5 OC Edition it does a good job to run Games like Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops or Counter Strike.
There is nothing wrong with the Core 2 Quad. I used a Yorkfield to own Applesoldier and Macward66. They may not have the performance of an i7 but overall they still kick ass.
Hey Mrbit Adrian here dang man stupid youtube subs haven't been showing me your latest videos recently just got done watching all of them and can't wait for more content completely understand how things get busy but your content is worth the wait
@mrbit10 Yeah despite what ppl are saying I actually think that the old core 2 quad's are a decent chip, especially when oced you'd get close to the performance of an i5 750. Not that you probably need that much performance anyway.
@Atheismrulez I suppose if he paid money for it, and wants a system now while he's got time then why not use the components? Depends on use planned aswell
What I'm saying is that if you sell these parts you'll have enough money for a cheap Core i3 2100 or Phenom II X4 955 system, both of which will be more powerful and more efficient.
@Atheismrulez It's cheap, it still works, and it's more than good enough for what he's using it for (or what 90% of people in general use a computer for to be honest). I remember just 2 years ago that was "THE MUTTS NUTS" and the absolute thing you HAD to have. It still runs everything from then just fine, and stuff from now.

Pretty stupid buying parts when you know you don't have time to build it.
I honestly wouldn't even use it now, I'd just sell it on ebay and build something new.

@ljscott1990 well life gets in the way sometimes. The rig is for programming, it does not really need all that much power.

@mrbit10
Fair enough, but wouldn't your Mac Pro be more suitable for programming anyway. Or are you just doing this as a hobbyist build?

@ljscott1990 well i needed to replace my older windows machine for legacy .net apps that i have vs my other windows machine running vs10

"New PC..." "...LGA 775... Q6600".
Huh? LGA 775 is pretty much a dead socket. Why would you make a PC based on it?

I did. Still don't understand why you would. He'd be better selling it all and getting a more recent and faster Core i3 2100 or Phenom II X4 system.

Very good motherboard, though.
