man I talked all that sh*t then did a bios update and now I got it running at 3.6GHZ...haven't stability tested it yet though....1600fsb with 9x multi. mem at stock 800 with 4442T timings voltages: fsb 1.5 spp 1.4 mem 2.200 cpu 1.46250 the rest are on auto
I know getting a q6600 with go stepping up to and beyond 3.6GHZ (without water) is possible - I just didn't see the benefit in continuously pushing the system for a few more MHZ. I'll just by a new CPU for that. OC'ing for me came second to building the machine for the sense of accomplishment.
oh true that, mines kinda on the bleeding edge with this stock cooling but it's always really cool in my room, especially in the winter (it can get down to 40*F lol) so that helps a bit with the cooling.
Its running at stock speed because it stabilized my OC and when the memory was OC'd it didn't yield significant performance. BTW this morning I checked and my OC is currently 3.375. Not 3.6 like others have gotten with GO stepping but oh well...New vid of entire layout soon....
Thanks! This set up was a pain in the *** but I learned a lot. It took quite a few revisions to get it where I wanted it...but every time I power up this beast I know it was worth all the sweat, blood and tears...well I didn't cry but there were times I wanted too ;-)
The 260GTX is looking real good right now but I will wait and see how the 55nm die shrink will perform (and cost). Anything you want to know - just ask...any pointers you have to share are welcome.
hy nice pc =) look i have a E6750 oced to 3,58..4g of ram and a xfx 8800gt 256mb xxx edition. i can play my games nicely at 1280. but because of the 256 mb i think i have to upgrade in the future dont you think?will new games like farcry 2 will run good even if its 1024? help me please
