Jaco pointed out to me that Jcool could also be interested in a pair of chips. I think it would be best to ask him first, since he's getting a full set anyways.
Yeah. Well once I get a job I can afford a Sossaman rig.
Yes, sell them to Jcool. My finances aren't that great right now.Quote:

The Q6600 was a gift from the team. I really couldn't sell it.Quote:

Better keep that cpu.
Yea, it does 3600 100% load 24/7 at under 50C..Quote:

To the European guys;
The backplates arrived today so will send the 4 boards, the 8 heatsinks and the two backplates to Jaco on Monday..
If that is not correct, tell me today or tomorrow.
As requested, some pics..
Pics of the HS didn't come out good but you can clearly see the step on the bottom. That step is app 1/8" thick.
The 10 heatsinks I grabbed and the 2 backplates:

The HS from the bottom and showing the step.
These sinks are app 1.5" thich from top to where they hit the cpu:

and the 4 boards. I'm going to try and get the HS in this box with the boards and backplates.

Are those backplates suited for dual heatsinks? They look rather big to me. Also, are there any backplates added with the mobo or is it just the motherboard that you got? Not that it would really matter, but my place tends to get dusty after a while.
Those backplates are one plate for each system, yes, 2 HS screw into each plate and as to other backplates do you mean I/O plates?Quote:

Back in a while, food is calling.

Yes, the SM backplates should work fine.

And I'm assuming that they don't have an IHS, yes?
We've seemed to have skipped spring over here in Aust, so it's gone from cool wet and rainy to 35+ C days in about a week, so I'd be interested in something that runs fairly cool and is cheap, especially if it puts out something close to a stock Q6600 in PPD.

:shocked: u guys are getting 35 already?!? wth - we got miserable weather right now :down: no fair - i wants sunshine!Quote:

edit: whoops what was I thinking - $60/1GB is crummy price hehe - I'll be paying roughly that much for a 2GB kit:

I'll be getting 2, 2 GB kits (4GB total).... that place ^ ship international; there is another WA lad on these forums who has bought from them, 'SoulsCollective' :up:
You can have the sunshine, I want the cold :p:Quote:
