Core 2 Duo Build Project: 2007

Listen guys, stop picking on Kholi, it isn't his fault, we ARE in middle school and that means his haven't dropped yet, so please understand if he is a little hessitant. ROFL!!! j/k but dude! you got that "big" fan.... the Tuniq was the way to go, also you will raise the case temp with that one... anyway, done talking trash...

Look at what I found when I searched like you said to:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822102002

This one is "baby" blue, lol The card was reviewed to only supports 1.5 GB/s... So I could get it and it it indeed doesn't do 3.0 then return it saying it was mis-advertised, (once the Puke comes back).

lol.

I like this thread.

Is it done yet?

Is it fast yet?

Is it cutting edge yet?

Is it bleeding yet?

....
 
if you want that black heat sink to do anything I'd put a bit of Artic Silver on it where it makes contact with the pipes...

OHHHH waaaait! they are 8mm pipes! nice!! that has a chance at being as good as the Zalaman 110... maaaaaaybe a tad better... this is one of the first 8mm pipes out... cool... let us know how it does

still hate the heat being thrown around the case... (stupid design = you need to make sure and get a good case air-flow going)
 
What I mean is that that black heatsink doesn't have a good contact with the pipes and core block, so for it to work more effectively you would want it to have a good contact with the block and pipes... This is one of the main designs for CPU coolers where the fan blows air downwards through the main radiator, this design was taken a touch further by some of the companies by adding little heatsinks to take advantage of the existing airflow and adding surface area. Artic Silver between the pipes and small black HS would shave an extra degree (maybe two) from the core.
 
you should encase the whole mother board assembly in Glycerine, or some other heat conductive, non electrically conductive liquid......

then have like, an AC atached to it.... keeping it icy cold.
 
Hey Kholi... I am looking into a Phase cooler that OCZ is developing... it is said to come out for ~$300!!! And it just might keep the Q6600 at -20C! That would mean you could get much higher completely stable OC out of your 775 chips...

I know it is crazy, but it will work with all your chips... and you and I can both sell out CPU coolers for about 90% what we payed for them... And 4-core natieves will be 775's, as well as 8-cores, I am not saying I will get it... but I am looking at it...

Apparently Q6600's OC to 3.2 right now... I am sorry if I mis-lead you in the past, but I was confused thinking since it is essentially two E6600 put together that it would OC similarly... but 3.2 is about as much as you will probably get... of course since you are in 64-bit world already that means your computer will "only" be about as fast as a 10+ GHz single core! ...so go cry in a corner... LOL!!! I am looking more and more into the Q6600 now, so if I see anything else I'll make sure and post...

With -20C a 3.6GHz OC is very likely... that's what I'm reading so far... more to come on this "curious look" at the Phase cooling way...
 
USLatinContent,
Since you're familiar with the OC forums: Can you OC a dual core E6600 to 3-3.5GZ without much trouble on say, a DS3 board? I'm just wondering what would be "safe" with stock cooling.
Thanks for your help.

Why would you need anything more than 3.2ghz? LOL

And the ghz don't mean a thing when it comes to digital content creation. It's still better than a dual core or single core when encoding, rendering, etc, etc. I guess whatever makes you feel better about not having one. =)

And Yorkfield's on a P35 board are gonna be better than that.

Yorkfield + my Enzotech fan = Greatness.

each one is different so you never know what the limits are. from what i've read online, most people can get their cpu over 3ghz+. as far as using the stock cooling, you don't really know your temps until you overclock it.

hi I am new here, I do own an Ultra X myself and actually I had doubts about the gap between the black heatsink and heatpipes couple months ago, I called Enzotech, according to the Enzotech staff, they intentionally leave a gap between the black heatsink and heatpipes, because too much contact will prevent the heat transfer to the top fins and make the heat trapped in the black heatsink. That will greatly reduce the performance of the cooler. I have come across this http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=132855 seems like one of the guy in there is tweaking and playing around with that trying to obtain the optimum cooling result.

One other thing, the Enzotech guy also mentioned that the heatpipe in the ultra x is directinoal, they suggest to place the ultra x heatpipe facing front and back in a vertical case for best result.

Hey e04. Ty for bringing that info to light. That's the same thing I read and it actually makes sense. It boosted my confidence with the Enzotech.

How is yours fairing? What's your setup?
 
We'll expect a full report by midnight. We're in the same time zone, so you got 6 hours. :D

Meanwhile - is the first post you made/edited complete with all the parts and pricing of each part you ended up going with?

I'm stuck between going for buying the parts now, or waiting for you to get FCP2 installed and seeing how that works. Its too bad it hasn't been released yet.
