Pretty good time back in the day. The evolution of Intel to Core 2 Duo was what got everyone excited moving from single core CPU to multicore. They were beast and runs far more than AMD those days. I...

Yes! It's for work, but the processor would be used for number crunching for some developmental work, so I need the best processor for the money.

I am on HP now and they offer 3770 K but with...

I know I can't get something that suit all my needs. But processor and GPU power is what matters here.

I check Dell and the pricing is outrageous when I just configured a mediocre system.

Thanks Ket,

I wish I can build it myself, but as I mentioned above, we have to buy it from a company. Thanks for pointing out the Socket differentiation.

Any suggestion of an OEM that build...

Hello Xtreme members,


I am an old timer that lost touch with the enthusiast community in the last few years.
I am rusty and know little about the computing market right now.

I need your...

Are your Raptors still under warranty?
Have some patience. Go to Western Digital Website and set up an RMA if they are still under the 5 years warranty. WD will even ship your Raptors to you...

AMD pricing of this CPU is a joke. Why would I buy this when I can pick up a Q6600 G0 that can do 3.6GHz for $275 with free shipping and a Polo T-shirt.

AMD need to reconsider their pricing if...

They will break your encyption.

They have all the keys to all encrypted tunnels.

You can run but you cannot hide from those guys.

Ben,
Look like you have a price mistake for the E6600.

I will probably keep checking if I can get those 28/29B for sure.

Dang! that's CPU PRON at is best.
I just got a Q6600 that heat up really bad. 73C 73C 68C 68C temps with ORTHO running all 4 cores. I might have to mail it to Freecableguy for some Naked...

Lol at checking the chip:D . Very funny indeed.

I agree that cache pollution can be a problem, but intel did a good job on the Core architecture in the way the cache handles misses, flushes and prefectching.
You need to have Intel compiler and...

Buy 3 Q6600 from 3 different vendors and overclock all of them to see which one gives you the best result out of the 3. Retain the best clocker and ebay the remaining two and you will be happy.

I have one and it looks like it's dead now. Very bad rails, unstable and flaky in general.

I was about to use it yesterday when I found some white dust coming out of one of the ATA 4 pin...

My 2 cent is that you should also avoid anything with F. The one I have keep failing Orthos at 3.24GHZ no matter what kind of Vcore voltage set.

It turns out that this F stepping is a DOG.. I needed 1.475V Vcore in BIOS to keep it Ortho stable at 3.33GHz (370 x 9).

Avoid those F chips if you can. They are the CBBID of Core 2 Duo.

I check the database and there is no single F chip there.

I'm beginning to think that the F stepping are possibly failed Quad cores that are downgraded to dual core part. But who knows.

I just got a E6600 week 40F with batch number L640F030 from NewEgg.

I just can't find many E6600 with the F stepping and for those that I could get, the owners have reported them as been bad...

50W for 4 cores is a beast. Intel is really cooking up the competition. The competition is yet to come up with any Quad core solution yet despite all the noise about been native or not.

You only need two cell phone that can connect wirelessly and must have enough memory card to have a full X-win 32 flash installed on each. You will install X-win 32 flash on both cell phones and that...

X-Win 32 flash

Thanks for this statement
I can't say it better.

You should also mod the mounting system. There is no appreciable change in temps with all your configs. You need to lap the heat sink and give it a solid mounting system before your infinity shines.!

Did you try the procedure I explained earlier? Did it work? Otherwise pay attention to the following.

(1) What type of PSU are you using? Try a different PSU if possible.
(2) Did you connect the...

Couple of questions first and then try this
(1) Is your CPU, NB and Video card fans spinning?
(2) Do you have the MB lights on after swithching on the PC?
