Looks good. Total price?


1550 with shipping. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I'm going to need your help when I overclock to 3ghz. Also, I think I read this right, but I can swap in any processor that fits the LGA 775 slot, right? So eventually I could upgrade to a faster processor that fits the motherboard?


Yes sir.

I bet I can make it about $1200 if I made it myself. ;)

Edit: I take it back. The keyboard, mouse, and speakers. tongue


Oh I'm sure YOU could. But I sure as heck couldn't. I have no idea how to apply thermal compound, install a heat sink, attach a power supply, etc. I wish I had the time to learn all of this since I am so interested in computing. However, what with full time grad school and all I'm not too free to choose my activities. I'll have to relegate myself to changing graphics cards, RAM, hard drives, fans, etc. I'm thinking I'm going to need 3-5 case fans to keep this badboy cool once I OC. Is 3 ghz too audacious?


Lets make a bet shall we? I bet you can reach 3.0 GHz in ONE attempt. Stable.

3.0 GHz is nothing. Raise the FSB a notch. Keep Vcore at stock. Boom. There you go. Takes a minute.


I thought about building it for you and then shipping it over. But I don't want to be responsible if it's lost in the mail or something. laughing


How fast can you go and remain stable and reliable on a 2.4g 6600 quad?


Most overclockers stop at 3.6 GHz. The people who are lucky and get good CPUs can go further. 3.6 GHz takes a few day of tweaking and stress testing to get it stable.

Let me tell you something. The RAM you're getting is't the best thing in the world. It works great at it's rated speed but it won't overclock. Sorry. I just have to get the best stuff. Don't mind me. tongue


Why do I need to overclock my ram?


For fun. biggrin



But not as important as ocing the CPU, right?


Nope. You won't even need to. Your FSB:RAM ratio will be 1:1 if you get your Quad to 3.6 GHz. Is your goal 3.0?

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=330562

I have mine at 1066 MHz.
800 -> 1066


I want to shoot for a stable 3ghz out of the box. Once I get comfortable with it, get in a few burn ins, and note down the core temps, then I'll start thinking about 3.2 - 3.4. But that's not for awhile.


If you get on AIM I'll help you once you get your system.

Jeez. Spamming the team board like crazy here... laughing


LOL! How many replies will it let us make?


I don't know.. I don't know. laughing


Why would we ever edit out any of the quotes? It's so convenient and compact to have them all right here in front of me.

PS: Sorry we jacked your forum - hope you feel better!


Takes a while to scroll.

I hope you feel better Keith. smile

Going to grab 2x1 GB of Crucial Ballistix RAM from stores. biggrin
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5375608?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Edit edit: Woot! I got a new project badge. biggrin


I'm thinking about getting more RAM and/or faster RAM as soon as my pc arrives. Do you recommend GSKIL or Crucial Ballistix?


Always use the same type of RAM.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231122

These win. Hands down. Aren't you getting 2 GB with your computer? Notice that only 64 bit Windows can address the full 4 GB. 32 bit will only see about 2.35-3.5 GB.

Edit: Or you can get 2 sets of these.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146565

Since they're on sale at the moment. But you'll have 4 sticks then. But you save about $15. Then the rebates.. Just go for G. Skills. laughing

Looks good. Total price?


1550 with shipping. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I'm going to need your help when I overclock to 3ghz. Also, I think I read this right, but I can swap in any processor that fits the LGA 775 slot, right? So eventually I could upgrade to a faster processor that fits the motherboard?


Yes sir.

I bet I can make it about $1200 if I made it myself. ;)

Edit: I take it back. The keyboard, mouse, and speakers. tongue


Oh I'm sure YOU could. But I sure as heck couldn't. I have no idea how to apply thermal compound, install a heat sink, attach a power supply, etc. I wish I had the time to learn all of this since I am so interested in computing. However, what with full time grad school and all I'm not too free to choose my activities. I'll have to relegate myself to changing graphics cards, RAM, hard drives, fans, etc. I'm thinking I'm going to need 3-5 case fans to keep this badboy cool once I OC. Is 3 ghz too audacious?


Lets make a bet shall we? I bet you can reach 3.0 GHz in ONE attempt. Stable.

3.0 GHz is nothing. Raise the FSB a notch. Keep Vcore at stock. Boom. There you go. Takes a minute.


I thought about building it for you and then shipping it over. But I don't want to be responsible if it's lost in the mail or something. laughing


How fast can you go and remain stable and reliable on a 2.4g 6600 quad?


Most overclockers stop at 3.6 GHz. The people who are lucky and get good CPUs can go further. 3.6 GHz takes a few day of tweaking and stress testing to get it stable.

Let me tell you something. The RAM you're getting is't the best thing in the world. It works great at it's rated speed but it won't overclock. Sorry. I just have to get the best stuff. Don't mind me. tongue


Why do I need to overclock my ram?


For fun. biggrin



But not as important as ocing the CPU, right?


Nope. You won't even need to. Your FSB:RAM ratio will be 1:1 if you get your Quad to 3.6 GHz. Is your goal 3.0?

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=330562

I have mine at 1066 MHz.
800 -> 1066


I want to shoot for a stable 3ghz out of the box. Once I get comfortable with it, get in a few burn ins, and note down the core temps, then I'll start thinking about 3.2 - 3.4. But that's not for awhile.


If you get on AIM I'll help you once you get your system.

Jeez. Spamming the team board like crazy here... laughing


LOL! How many replies will it let us make?


I don't know.. I don't know. laughing


Why would we ever edit out any of the quotes? It's so convenient and compact to have them all right here in front of me.

PS: Sorry we jacked your forum - hope you feel better!


Takes a while to scroll.

I hope you feel better Keith. smile

Going to grab 2x1 GB of Crucial Ballistix RAM from stores. biggrin
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5375608?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Edit edit: Woot! I got a new project badge. biggrin


I'm thinking about getting more RAM and/or faster RAM as soon as my pc arrives. Do you recommend GSKIL or Crucial Ballistix?


Always use the same type of RAM.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231122

These win. Hands down. Aren't you getting 2 GB with your computer? Notice that only 64 bit Windows can address the full 4 GB. 32 bit will only see about 2.35-3.5 GB.

Edit: Or you can get 2 sets of these.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146565

Since they're on sale at the moment. But you'll have 4 sticks then. But you save about $15. Then the rebates.. Just go for G. Skills. laughing


Hey, have you guys checked this thing out?
