One of the best CPUs of all time :respect:

(FIH) The Don · Aug 20, 2010

And the i7 920.

I think that the Q6600, E8400, and i7 920 stand in the Hall of Fame of Intel CPUs. Maybe one of the E5x00s or 45nm E6x00s as well

(FIH) The Don · Aug 20, 2010

ah yes

was about to say "budget" cpus

but def those too, think its the e6600/e6750

my dad got Q6600 and i got Q6700 not that i wanna out rank him, but he bought his brand new and got a G0 back than, i just bought my Q6700 G0 used and tested and it does 3,6ghz (400x9) all on auto no matter what mb u got for it, or that's what i what i have heard from the previous owner if this cpu that got it from a oc guy.

(FIH) The Don · Aug 20, 2010

got this one as a demo/openbox deal, but its never been opened, not even the box it came in lol

The Thermi joke has been made sooooo many times, but it's still fun

(FIH) The Don · Aug 20, 2010

Hmm, I am biased towards AMD/ATi, but it's for practical reasons.

Yup, I totally respect the authoritah of these cards. They rock for high-end purposes, but they suck royal dong when it comes to performance/watt, heat production and silence, which are my areas of interest

i was kinda biased when the 58xx series came out, but that was more because of the tremendous performance for the money they offered :rockout:

but this was a demo deal, so for 275$ compared to 450 for a new, i could really not say no lol

If you are referring to your Maximus II Formula mb - it looks like you will need to use the hack...

I can see where you are coming from, but if you are not worried about performance/watt, heat production and silence...
Then go for it!!!
Or you can water cool the GPU(s) and not worry about the heat and silence

(FIH) The Don · Aug 20, 2010

yes its a CF board, but idk if i can do that SLi thingie on it lol

oh well, ill head over to the sli section

we want some scores and temps when it's up and runnin though

(FIH) The Don · Aug 20, 2010

cant really do anything good yet

a: i need a good cooler to oc my Q9550

b: i need a case to get a decent airflow around the stuff

c: im waiting on a nice CM 1KW PSu from KieX to arrive, since i dont trust my 500W cheiftec to run safely when i start oc'ing both cpu and gfx :laugh:

Athlonite · Aug 20, 2010

No rush dude just when you can get to it

I quite like the looks of that card plain and simple no hideous stickers on the cowling

(FIH) The Don · Aug 20, 2010

might actually remove that GainWard sticker, to keep it all black lol

then be careful, a removed sticker, can ruin your RMA right for it, if there is still one
