My mate recieved the E6300 Retail boxed around 3PM this afternoon (yesterday now because its past midnight lol). Funny thing is that he only received the despatch e-mail after the box arrived, so he found it real helpful to be told at 4PM that the box was loaded into the van at 7AM :rolleyes:. I'm heading round on Sunday to build it and do some OCing for him.
So it looks like OcUK do now have nearly the entire range either as OEM or Retail. The E6300 is now listed as 1-3 days but the OEM is available again. Interesting shinanigans going on there so I think I'll be getting mine elsewhere, probably Micro Direct as they have the DS3 and DS4 for cheaper as well.
Still not decided on the RAM as well. I like the look of the G.Skill 2GBNR as you get DRR2 800 for dirt cheap. The NS is also attractive because it is slightly cheaper and apparently designed for intel systems, with the added bonus that it fits in with my colour scheme. The reported problems with the DS3 are annoying though and I don't know if that carries over to the DS4. The TG stuff looks great as well but availability in the UK is nil except for the PC2 6400 4-4-4-10.
Oooooh... the fun I'll have Tuniq Tower 120 and the E6600 ;)

I don't know man but I think I just have a crap cpu now. I mean it's nothing new, I always end up with the :banana::banana::banana::banana:ters when I pay good money for cpus. It's only when I buy celerons that I get good clockers... :stick:Quote:

I've done the CMOS reset for an hour but it didn't do anything. The thing is I bought my P5W on the 19th of July... so what are my options? Is it RMA?Quote:

http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_2604.html
I already have watercooling so won't be getting one but was damn tempted tbh.
Also I got my E6600 from Komplett at about £33 less than the other well known shops online, arrived today :). I also got some PC8000 OCZ from there for only £239! Everywhere else is over 300 for the same ram. http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=323132
Hope this is of use to some of you.
cheers,
Nick :).
Last week my 6800gt bite the dust and it seems to have taken out the agp port with it (there was smoke lol) anyway i borrowed my mums old putter which i built her years ago so i could still read forums etc (xp1700 256mb gf4mx440)any way i was not to gutted that my sys went wrong because i was for upgrading soon, and if any of you guys are married you will understand that having a excuse to get new parts is handy lol. I thought that i would just wait and build a new conroe system.
Any way, i was browsing ocuk and everything i needed was in stock so i ordered it up and a few hours later i god a email saying it has been shipped and got a tracking number with a delivery date of Monday so i am as happy as a dog with two d1cks. I am hoping the new rig will be twice as fast
old sys
p4 3.0ghz ht 800fsb
msi 865pe neo
6800gt (agp)
1tb storage
1024 ocz pc 3200 gold
new sys
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB)
BFG GeForce 7900 GT OC 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
Gigabyte GA_965P_DQ6
i am hoping to oc to about 3.3 on stock Intel cooler for very stable 24/7operation and i had to keep the cost down so went for the 7900gt which was the only part i was not certain i wanted. I ended up going for it because i only have a 19" monitor so i don't play games at a uber high res. Is this wise? and will this card oc any? here is a link ( http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/7900_Series.html its the first one)
anyway i cant wait till Monday and i will update with pics and results asap and if anyone has any advise or info please post.
good luck, gallag
Gratz...I have a question now...My E6600 order from NCIX went from a "pending order" where for a couple weeks it was hanging up on "Product Avaliability" and is now in "Recent Order" category. Does that mean it's shipped?
Nice system. The only thing I would have done different if I were in your shoes was to order from dabs.com Probably would have saved about £50 odd quid. Maybe a bt more.
I'm gonna order an E6600, MSI 975X PowerUP mobo and a 320GB Seagate HDD.
The difference between DABS and OcUK for the exact same parts = £50 cheaper from DABS.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your system. A 7900 GT is a great card, I doubt you will have any regrets about it.

Still same voltage as before
http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/3549/primebn3.png
I pre-ordered from Komplett about a month ago and they changed the ETA 3 times with the last being 21/08, however last week (2nd/3rd August) Komplett and many other etailers recieved a batch of E6600's and the stock status did indeed change, something like "88 due today" and then "23 in stock" then end of friday out of stock again with ETA 21/08 which is probably their original shipment and perhaps Komplett somehow got their hands on an extra shipment.Quote:

Desperate to get it about £10 cheaper because can't spend more than £500 on my CC and I'm currently on £510 if I were to order. Any help appreciated.
No way you can phone up the cc company and pay say £10 or £15 on to the account via a Debit card etc in order to give you the buffer you need?
I'm tempted, but it's a student CC so I can see them telling me to get lost. Always pay my bill so worth a shot. Cheers
Mine is coming from Dabs for £219.99 delivered thanks to the free delivery weekend offer last week. Dabs and Komplett are the best bets but that is still £226-7 delivered.
After 1 year (2 years ago), my student CC went up to £900 so fear not - it's in the pipeline! :D.
Do Dabs take payment once ordered or only when stock is in? Their ETA is 3-4 days, do you know anything more on a date? I wouldn't mind waiting til Thurs-Fri next week really. Komplett looks like a 2 week wait.
Might have to give Natwest a ring. :)

Impressive.. only tweak was realtime in task manager...
Still same voltage..
You won't get it for £215 at the moment. I think he's talking about Komplett they had them for £215 on pre order a few weeks back. The cheapest I've seen is morecomputers £217 but no stock. Dabs is the best bet.Quote:

Yeh I did try that. Seems that enabling SPD timings let me POST at 3.6 (400fsb..) so anyone who's hitting random walls around 360 fsb, enable spd timings! I know it sucks but cpu mhz > timings remember ;)
So, I had some progress anyway...

Heatsink doesn't even feel hot under 100% load.. and pretty sure the contact is fine..
so it looks like your ram could be holding you back.
what vdimm are you using try increasing that.
when your at the higher fsb do you get any more ram divider options like on the p5wd2 and p5wd2-e. at 400fsb i would think you would have 533/667/800 again.
i think you should lock your pci express to 101 and pci to 33 in the bios and i noticed you disabled hyperpath.
just my experiance from overclocking my p5wd2-e and 920D.

That is correct. OCUK help themselves to you cash immediatly regardless of how long the wait for the goods is so that they can make as much money off you as poss I think. It does miff more than a few folks. I only order from them when I absolutely have to or when they genuinely have something cheaper than competitors. Either way, once in a blue moon ;).Quote:

In either case you'll need a debit card (linked a current account of some kind that has the funds you want to put on the credit card).
Basically, this is what happens...
1) Currently your card has no spend on it and you have £500 available.
2) Phone up your card issuer or access your account online and put on, for example, £50 with a debit card.
3) You now have £550 available to spend on your card.

I wasn't sure if that was valid, but I don't see why not - if you confirm it to be possible then it's probably a good option. I may try to get a limit increase anyway, takes a few days to pay money into the CC account so over the counter would be my best bet. Cheers for clearing that up.Quote:

The TIM they use is crap. Hardly any contact, the southbridge just fell off. I don't know if you can make this out, but there are two chips under the top cooler not even touching the thermal tape.
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/9...0454mb4.th.jpg
AS5 on cores and some Céramique on the vregs, glued/screwed on some nice blue LED 40's. Chipset temps down from late 40's to 34C under prime, fans are flat out @ 5000RPM. And I'm pleased with the Tuniq 120, 44C with dual-prime according to probeII, don't how accurate that is, its at a few hours prime 3.5GHz 1.45 vcore. I'll see how hot I can get it with SnM later.

hmmm.. I think i'll have to replace the stock paste then sometime. That looks terrible...
As i told you.
What are your RAM timings looking like at this point? Whenever i go above 370mhz FSB, i am forced to set them to SPD (which changes them to 5-6-6-18, which is Disgusting). The problem i think is the little option at the bottom, called Write Time or something. If only we had larger breadth for that, we could maintain everything else at 4-4-4-12 or so.
thanks for the replies guys, i kinda thought that ocuk was a bit more £, but they could get it to me quicker and seemed helpful.
online tracking says that the goods have been loaded into a van for delivery so ill update with pics soon.
I would of gone for the x1800xt 256mb over the 7900GT.
They are only £149 and you get HDR+AA in oblivion :cool:
if you boot with ram @ spd how does the board behave when changing the timings in windows ?
At last I am able to post on Xtreme and join the UK conroe party :toast:
Anyway I had an E6700 ordered with novatech since early July, but decided to go with an OEM from scan in the end and to this date it seems there is no "real" news on the E6700's for novatech :rolleyes:
Here are my results so far, go easy on me though as I am still on a steep learning curve at the moment.
Mobo : Asus P5WDH (un-modified except for a 120mm blowing over her)
Cpu: Conroe E6700 @ 4.0GHZ 1.6v
PSU : Temporary :Ulta 520W (need single rail for vapo) Usual :OCZ 520W Powerstram currently on a RMA
Cooling : Vapo XE (with some better insulation, and a few tweeks) -26c idle -22.5c full load
vcard : 2 x ati x1600 (crossfire enabled) I am not a gamer but I need quad outputs, stock, as I know nothing about graphics but would be willing to learn, 36K on 3dmark 01.
Ram : GSkill Dual Channel HZ PC2-6400 2GB 400mhz 4-3-3-4 2.2v
Monitors : 4 x 21.1 Samsung TFT
Headache Medication : 4 x Anadin Extras
Dog : A gold one like the master of the conroe OC.

I had them left over from another rig, them come as a part of a heatsink combo from Maplins IIRC, Akasa's.Quote:

So there's a remote chance there will be more in the next week or so, so people may want to follow this up or buy from elsewhere. I've bitten the bullet and bought from Novatech, £233 isn't bad and I got the last one - no joke, some bugger bought one just before me so I was a bit anxious about missing out. Now, to choose a motherboard for my E6600, I've heard the 975X would be a better choice over the 965 - best value overclocking board? I'm not at all interested in Crossfire or SLi.Quote:

me: but it says 1-2 days on the item listing, i take it this is out of date
Stella : We have placed orders with alternative suppliers who advised in the next few days however no date has yet been given
me: ok thank you
They seem to have got some e6600's in today and allocate them - my order has just gone from 1-2 weeks to allocated :DQuote:

First local I've noticed round here, I'm at the uni but on an industrial placement for a year :slap: . I'm getting pretty much the same setup but getting NR RAM instead of HZ, saves me a few quid and I don't think timings will matter hugely - it's still PC2-6400.

ps. I'm going for the MSI 975x PowerUp board too now seeing as prices of ATI gfx cards are coming down with the immiment arrival of their X1950 boards. I'll get a CrossFire Master card to go with the standard X1900XT I've already got.
