i have a little question.
Im about to own either the forthcoming E6850 or the Q6600. The Q6600 seems better imo, because i will be greatly able to run 3ds max and most of games, basically almost as the E6850(in the games).
But i dunno if my motherboard is a great quad overclocker. I have the asus striker extreme and some Gskill 4-4-3-5 memories.
Maybe this is a great combo for overclocking this quad model?
Im looking for 24/7 3.6 - 3.7 ghz, dunno if its any possible with Q6600.
Any tips?
hmm... Does that say that your cpu temp is 60C? Thought the G0's would run cooler, doesn't seem to have changed.Quote:

yup
are the G0s available for purchase already or are you euros getting hooked up?
Nope, we are getting screwed over here. The only one I can get is the B3. I'm hoping that the G0 will be available july 21st. My current PC is going downhill fast so I really need this thing.Quote:

Anyone know if the G0's will hit North America on July 22nd when the price drop hits, if not when?
Also, I have a Gigabyte S3 965p mobo, how is it for quad overclocking?
I remember someone saying the G0 will be available a few days before or on the day of the price drops. But the Intel website was no help to me. I couldn't find anything there, not even any specs. It's as if it doesn't even existQuote:

@Moe, I think we need to wait a while longer... but fore sure it's out there.
you need to inform on a regular basis. I'm informing weekly at random retailer.
BTW hi there, been watching you guys on XS for some time now..
first post ... noobylicious :)
Just as something thats happened to me, after many many hours using Orthos on my E6600, 10 or 12 hours stable, I put Boinc on to start folding and I'd be damned if it didnt just crash out within 30 seconds of me loading the program...Quote:

I dont like wasting CPU time or dropping work units so I like to know its running ok :)
Sorry thats just my 2p worth :) But have also been looking at the Q6600, seems very cheap for a quad and I'm tempted :D Trying to get the most from my E6600 first :)
Today the q6600 got 100 euro's cheaper. thats about $135. Right now you'd have to fork over 350 euro's, $475. In a few weeks they will knock off another 100 :) Thats when i'll buy it. Even if it's the B3. There's no way I can wait any longer than that.
Over here in the UK, they are currently around the £235 mark....
that's almost exactly 350 euro's. No price difference at all. I had expected a slight difference.Quote:

temps idle at 39c with coretemp with good room temp as well with an open case, and loads at around 65-70c......the zalman can handle up to 1.38v with this cpu, anything above it gets too warm for me to even test, this cpu can do 3.3 with the zalman with 1.36v but i kept it at a lower voltage because summer is just burning up my cpu, and for us overclockers thats not too great.....but overall it performs the same as my old tuniq tower 120.
Thanks. The idle temp is great. The load temp is perhaps a little on the high side though. Im not used to temps over 60. I'm always afraid i'm gonna fry my cpu. I think I already damaged my current cpu. Luckely I'll have a new one in a month.
