Got fed up with Novatech, cancelled it. Bought one and a P5W from Ebuyer, still £15 cheaper than OcUK:clap: Order confimed, stock allocated and shipping today.
Just looking back at my order history on Ebuyer, like £2500. I starting to think this is becoming an addiction:sick: This is the longest I've gone cold turkey in the last ten years, I need my conroe, I'm suffering withdrawal here.:p: All this looking for a dealer, classic symptoms I'd say.
hehe :DQuote:

I kind of wish i hadn't found my Dabs deal for £206 all up.. its going to take a deal of less than £230 to get me to change it now.
Novatech are now saying that they don't know when the processors will arrive... I should have ordered from Vadim before :(
Well seeing as I ordered with OcUK (they were the first I saw showing as "Pre-order" back in early July and I panicked!)....
:woot: :banana: :rehab: :bananal: :banana3:Quote:

Cancelled Novatech's order and ordered from Ebuyer :woot:. F Novatech, not ordering anything from em again! :fact:
w00t, we'll all have them tomorrow :D
Panda Boy, did yours come??
havent heard anything from OCUK and novatechs live chat thing is always red now so cant contact them either (short of waiting till tomorrow for an email reply)
have gone with ebuyer with del for tomorrow. cancelled the other 2 at this point. in this, novatech have been worse than OCUK IMO in the dealing. every contact with them said they would get them in stock later that day/ are en route now etc.
at least OCUK told me last time i mailed them that their next estimate was the 4th
As i said. Here's the email I got from OcUK - this must mean they have some instock, but are fulfulling all the pre-orders as it's not listed on their site:

just a note for some still looking - chillblast have some in stock. they sent me a note saying its ready for dispatch.
ME too m8. this machine is costing me £2k. that's my budget, but I plan to get faster things and less price. I'm a right bargain hunter. But it's gonna be a fast rig. All based round the E66C!Quote:

Just out of interest, what mobos and ram are you guys putting your C2Ds with? I can see Lawry's on a P5W + Adata but what about everyone else? :)
Im going to be using the P5W as well and G.Skill 6400HZ which is meant to overclock well. My aim is to get 3.4Ghz for 1000Mhz overclock...Quote:

I won some G.Skill memory on here, but as I want 4GB It's hard to find another 1GB stick. No, actually. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IT HERE IN THE UK.
I'm also considering buying 2 smaller Seagate 7200.10 drives and putting them into Raid (0), then getting 1x 320GB 7200.10 drive for storage.
Here it is anyway so far (due to change!):

PSU: OCZ GameXtream 700w
CPU: Intel Conroe E6600 (pre-ordered)
Heatsink: Tuniq Tower 120 (should be here this week)

Hello all,
Sorry I been away at work all day. I just been reading the posts and people going mental about various places in/out of stock.
Well I'm getting mine still from Novatech, they have them in now. But my sodding bank bounced my order becuase my cheque wont clear until Monday lol. Anyway I'll just have to wait until next week for mine and along with my ASUS P5W DH Deluxe from Chillblast.
I rang Novatech and was told that my order will be placed on hold and they will try again Monday for me. I hate Llyods so much.
Anyway hope you guys get yours asap.
Anyone had their Ebuyer order ship yet? Mine still says "Picking in Progress". Its said that for a few hours now :/. Is this ok or should I give them a call?
Did you select the priority express option?
I see they dropped it down to £252 anyway..
awww never got ma e6600 today and its only two hours down the road from me (feel like goin and getting it myself) but because i live in a remote area they only deliver down here three days a week UPS ARE SH*T city link do it everyday never had problems with scan deliverys there all next day. Anyone here actually got an e6600 from novatech yet????
mine is the same, probly gone home without doin the order. lazy bums. bet it wont be here tomorrow like i paid for
Its ok mate, I called them up and she said that it was actually "awaiting despatch and will be with you tomorrow" :DQuote:

I'm sooo happy!! :D We all get Conroes tomorrow :D :D :D

They say they use either CityLink or Royal Mail Special Delivery. Don't know which they are using for C2D deliveries though... I will be pretty pee'd off if they don't deliver tomorrow.
usually citylink when I bought from ebuyer

well, i've had a dispatch offer from ebuyer, chillblast and novatech so far today ????
I've had it shipped from Japan by a friend who used to live here in England.Quote:

Take a very close look at your case with this one. I have this HSF and its massive.Quote:

Jsut a tidbit of a mini warning here. It's not a "wonder" heatsink. It's only one of the best when the fan is up at max 2000rpm. Of course you can replace it, but Tuniq's 9 blade fan and rheo was obviously built in unison to work with the TT120 perfectly. Looking around most people get worse, or same results replacing the fan with a quieter one.
I'm getting it as I don't mind noise and it will be on full. I suppose if the rest of your case is quiet it's all good. But just beware if you have sensitive ears...
I just orded one from novatech and will be with me monday. still have the one from ingram on back order but that one will be used at work anyway.
novatech have 28 left @ 9.25am
I have a p5w dh and gskill 6400 HZ with a ninja cooler and x1800 gto unlocked to 16 pipes waiting for this.
My conroe has been loaded onto the van :p:
Mine just arrived, nice and early, glad I woke up unusually early today :D
sorry for bad quality fone pic, I'll get some better ones when I find my camera.
so whats your goal lawry what do you hope to reach.
I think we're all hoping for 4ghz here :DQuote:

Just ordered mine from Novatech - 25 remain.
Imm phoning UPS to find out wots going on im gettin pissed of
Pandamonia - you ordered from Ebuyer right? Don't fret :p I called them and they said that the website hasnt updated the order tracking online. Call them up for your tracking number! Mine's already been loaded onto a van for delivery w00t! Just give them a call mate :)
Komplett.co.uk recieved a shipment of E6600's last night, which is rather good since their expected shipment read "21/08", they have about 60 in stock right now, price is still £220
Order Status: Picked
looks like next monday or tues, still have not decided on mobo/ram yet, and I need an LGA bracket for my XP90 :eek:
DS4 I think, no idea on RAM, I don't wanna spend too much PC6400 C4/C5 is good enough, any recommendations? Cheers
So true.Quote:

But yeah, 4ghz, I agree is the goal.
I'm hoping for 3.5ghz air stable. But I am buying the tools to reach higher (uber air system and a new H/S & NB cooler).
p.s. Anyone who's brought the OEM, you don't want a Heatsink for free do ya? (stock) - You're paying the P&P though. (yes that includes the bloody envelope!) - Or if you know someone who's not gonna OC it mad. it's going here!
Same here,
Wanna bench it with my 7800gt then settle down at a nice stable, cool speed for 24/7 + gaming
Should have mine on Monday, but I'll begin OCing a little later than that. Gonna be using a DS3 so sounds like 3.5 may be my cap.. :confused:
so are you all up for a e6600 air cooled mini challange.
lets say
1. max OC on air
2. super pi 1m,2m ect.
lawry could update the first page with results.
Woohoo! My processor is here! I've gotta go out for a bit though, will be back at around 2pm to make my very first rig! :O
welll, even tho i cancelled the order, novatechs E6600 was here this morning.
will have to wave the ebuyer one away i think as thats not here yet :0
all i need now are a few more bits for my phase jobbie to give that a go. i might even wait for that before starting the whole thing off.
OcUK are now showing the retail 6300s in stock but my friend who ordered one ages ago still hasn't got any update on his delivery. Anyone have some info on wether the in stock notice is accurate?
I'm gonna wait till the end of the month before I order my own. I'm still undecided on the DS3/DS4 choice.
I'm up for that, but can't until end of the month as I will be getting my final bits then.Quote:

But why is it taking so long????????? COS THE NF590 aint out yet! ARGH!

So to reply to your PM here
It comes pre-enabled but it's possible to enable only one core. It clocks higher and scores better in 3dmark2001 and superpi because they're single threaded. Coolaler etc uses only 1 core when doing his wr's ;)Quote:

the 6600 and 6300 are retail boxes. grab while you can as the normal supply will start only in September as the suppliers claim and the prices are unlikely to go down.
www.komplett.co.uk have the E6600 in retail for £220, just ordered mine
32 left at 4pm
omg wtf
I can't even seem to get past 2.7 wtf
I must have the :banana::banana::banana::banana:test p5w in the world or something.
I can't work out why it's crapping out just above :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing 300 fsb
The chipset heatsink doesnt feel that hot and neither does the xp90c so wtf!!!
somebody help :(
If the chipset heatsink doesn't feel that hot then depending on what the temps are reported in WinXP then I'd get the thing off, remove the stock paste and gets some AS5 on it instead :)
could using raid 0 on the sil image ezbackup ports be causing this??
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS finaly came :D :D :D shame i cant do anything with it as i dont have my ram yet. Its crap lookin at all the stuff ive bought knowing i cant do anything yet. Cant wait till i can tho
:banana: :banana:
OK, seems hyperpath 3 enabled in the bios was causing that :/
Got to 360x9 but seem to have hit another wall :/
Atleast way better than before. I think maybe it's because I have value ram. Hopefully I can buy some decent ram soon..
not bad to start with :)Quote:

strange..

Anyway, P5WDH+G.Skill HZ+E6600. Wouldn't boot on 300w PSU. Swapped to my PCP&C 510. Started with a celeron sub flashed to 903. Replaced with conroe, stuck in 3.6Ghz DDR-800 vcore-1.4v mch-1.65v. Memtest boot disk, off she goes. So far so good, early days yet.

Oh no :( I got a problem guys... For some reason the monitor says "No video input" and I can't see anything on the screen at all. Just that message scrolling around. I have a P5W motherboard and I tried the other PCI-E slot but that didn't work either. I tried a DVI connector to the monitor and also Analogue but to no avail :(. I'm positive the graphics card is in properly. Everything turns on, the fans, lights... You guys got any ideas? I don't have a spare PCI-E card though to check if the card is ok or not though.
EDIT - PC Components
C2D E6600
P5W DH Deluxe
G.Skill 6400HZ
Enermax Liberty 500W
Sapphire Radeon X1900XT
I had the same everthng looked ok, but no display. It was an under powered PSU. Rated at 300w, no go.Quote:

Switch the memory around in the slots / try 1 stick.
Ensure the GCard is seated correctly (you shouldn't see any metal on the slot connector).
PSU - Make sure you have a powerful enough PSU (A good 400 Watt PSU is literally bare minimum, probably need in most setups 450-500).
Beyond that it could be the MB or GCard is DOA(Dead on Arrival).
Also ensure your ram is compatable with your motherboard especially if you have a 965 chipset motherboard.
Whats the mb bios number (written in the top). Bar the PSU, that very much my rig. Is the Liberty a native 24pin (not a 20 to 24 pn adapter),4 pin connected?Quote:
Originally Posted by Beenom

Yup the Enermax has a 20pin with a separate 4 pin connector. Both of these are connected :). Also i took the old bios (0401) and put the new bios chip that came from Rizwan. I tried both chips though afterwards.Quote:
Originally Posted by fornowagain
Yup, I have tried the motherboard with no memory in at all, it still turns on, fans spin etc but no beeps at all. I've also tried both sticks in all four slots but that doesn't work. I've taken off the DVDRW, Floppy disk and just left the HDD connected.Quote:

Is it in the case? If so take it out, one stick, cpu, hsf on header and graphics. Nowt else for now. Put the later bios chip in, disconnect psu, remove batt, clear cmos 1hr. If that doesn't work try another PSU.
Ok mate, I will do all that tomorrow morning. Too tired and my thumb hurts from all that pulling out, pushing in lol. If I do that and it still does not work, what is it likely to be? The motherboard?Quote:
