Get the artic cooler 775, my temps dropped by 10c in tat. goto neutronexpress for the lowest price. 22 shipped for me. i had an xp90 on my s939. served me well for 1yr. I would go with artic better though.
i went from amd 3000+ @ 2.7ghz to opteron 165@ 2.5 stock volts. i would say for games i'll keep the 3000+. But the whats the diff in price between a 165 and 175 now? You might want to consider the difference/performance. Dual core isnt really much faster than single core in games. for photoshop...
Amd wont go under anytime soon. They'll be always behind intel and once intel relaxes or makes a stupid move, amd will be right back to where they are again. The cycle repeats. I see that trend for about 8-10yrs now. with the mmx 3dnow days. now c2d quad sse4. Intel lost marketshare meaning amd...
Get the fry's special $149 e4300 and ecs mobo. Thats if you have a local fry's. Best bang for buck 50bucks get yourself a artic cooler 775. Then upgrade the mobo if you need to later.
IMO..3.4 is not much diff from 3.5 or 3.6 but its a big jump to 3.7 as i saw in some review the benchmarks from going from 3.5 to 3.7. I would just keep it at the most stable speed. im running 1.33volts now and so far its rock solid, i dont do any orthos or folding. I run games and programs...
asus p5n-E nvidia 650i should do you well with that processor. 412fsb limit but you wouldnt need to go that high with the e6600. Or budget performance, go with biostar tforce 965 or gigabyte s3.or hold off till the new s3's and ds3's come out with all high quality caps for the same price. you...
newegg rma is fast and great. I've rma'd a bunch of stuff before. Thats why the only reason i'll go with newegg for their fast service, prices are mediocre. You should spend a little bit more and get pc6400
I would say get an artic cooler drops your temps by about 10c. Mines is running 1.31v @ 3.45 (490x266) Normal temps with my stock hsf is around 59 in TAT and with load goes to 69c. Thats way too hot for me.
Artic cooling is running for 16.99 at neutron. Thats where i bought it. great deal!!
