Hello all,
I got a 6600 when they were fairly new and bought what, at the time, was considered a great OC board, the 965P-DS3.
It has never worked out satisfactorily. The best OC I have ever achieved is 3.2GHz. The system has never been particularly stable (although it passes 48 hour Orthos OK). It has very bad problems with cold booting...meaning it basically will not sometimes until the system gets warmed up.
I have been through a few power supplies (some of the best) so i doubt that is the issue.
I've stuck with it a year now, and its just time to move on.
The E6600 will be paired with 2G of OCZ 1066RAM, BFG 7900GS OC, and will be running XP.
What mobo around today would you suggest to a budget OC'er. The Abit IP-35-E is a nice price, but I really need RAID0.
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
