I guess it depends on your intentions. If you intend to o/c the piss outta her then its not going to hold up very well. DD makes some uber affordable kits and components that lay waste to most pre-packaged setups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Wow, I think you went a little overboard, but whatever floats your boat :\ I just built a new computer, but I reused a lot of stuff. I only got a new Mobo (MSI MS-7350), new processor (Core 2 Duo E4300), and some new ram (2 gigs of Wintec DDR2). I also bought a 7900 GT CO SC off of a friend of mine in Michigan who was running two in SLi mode, but he got rid of one because he is a college student and needs money. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Wow, I think you went a little overboard, but whatever floats your boatl I don't think it's overboard. I've been contemplating upgrading a few things to a similar system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I guess it depends on your intentions. If you intend to o/c the piss outta her then its not going to hold up very well. DD makes some uber affordable kits and components that lay waste to most pre-packaged setups. The E6300 on a STOCK intel cooler will overclock to well over 2.8ghz. So using a lowerend water cooling solution to hit speeds a bit higher is nice and the price of 49$ makes it a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 The E4300 is a goooood budget oc chip. BUT if you have the money to put into better ram and mobo you can push the E6300 further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morabu Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 nice setup but i thought Ceramique was intended to be a temporary testing compound removed and reapplied a lot unlike AS5 which is intended to be a permanent compound solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT if you have the money to put into better ram and mobo you can push the E6300 further. that is not what I heard, Bill. I heard that the E4300 can be pushed to 3.2, where as the 6300 will only safely go to 2.8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Shepard Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 i dont know shit about computer stuff, but the keyboard looks sweet Im thinking the same thing. That would make night time typing alot easier haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 My only suggestion would be to have waited until mid April. Intel is going to drop their prices on processors drastically. I'm waiting til then and then going to spring for a whole new setup w/ an EVGA 8800GTS or better, and a quad core proc. Nice selection though.

thorne Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Megaman that is what i read and thought before too. no doubt we talked about it at the lan. Well just last week I got into with a buddy he showed me a site ( I can't rember it) thats a Oc comparison page. the E4300 is a damn good performer for the money its awesome as shit. The E6300 was just hitting higher numbers. I ran mine at 2.7 upstairs at the lan and 2.9 downstairs. But I was just showing off to someone that the machine would run sollid at 2.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Nice rig. I personally am waiting until I can afford a Core Duo with 4mb L2 cache. I will just deal with my p4 HT 3.2ghz for now =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 78novaman Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 That's a nice lil rig there. Great choice on a case, ram, & video. I don't care too much for that mobo, but it should hold up. <E-Penis wagging> I've got a watercooled (made my own) E6600 (4MB L2 cache) overclocked to 3.42Ghz on a Abit AW9D w/2GB XMS DDR2-800 Plus a X1900XT 512MB, soon to be a X2900XT 1GB. </E-penis wagging> I think pretty much all the Core 2 Duos are good overclockers as long as you put a good quality cooler and Arctic silver compound. I recommend the Arctic silver MX-1, as it has the thermal properties of the silver, but it is non conductive and has a 5+ year lifespan.
