2GB (2x1GB) CorsairTwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800), CAS 4-4-4-12, EPP

Gigabyte P35C-DS3R, iP35 Express, S 775, PCI-Ex16, DDR2/3 1066/1333/800

BFG 8800GTX PCI-E (x16)

Intel Core 2 Quad-Core Q6600 G0 SLACR, 95W

Noctua NH-U12F CPU Heatpipe Heatsink and fan

P180b case

AKASA 8 Pin (F) to 8 Pin (2x4 Pin) (M) Extension cable (30cm)

Seasonic 500W PSU

WD 750gig HD

Looking to OC the CPU to around 3ghz..... Will it be quite easy to reach that with this kit?

How does all this sound, I have already ordered it.....

Just worried that everything dont fit or wont work together

Is the Noctua gonna be able to cool my Q6600 to a decent level - Ive heard its good and quiet

Thanks

All looks good, and the cooler is a real beauty - you'll get 3GHz with ease on this setup.

I'd imagine so, yes.

Sounds great

It'll all fit together aswell, and the Noctua fits nicely on the DS3R.

Yep, it's a great cooler, one of the more common ones for overclockers for air cooling.

DavidB · 15 Sep 2007 at 23:24

P182 is the same price and has a few more features. Other than that looks pretty nice.

Some similar bits, such as I have a P180 1st revision, also a pair of TwinX XMS2 but 5300 not 6400 (which I've sold very recently).

spluff · 16 Sep 2007 at 09:28

why did u sell the 6400 and buy the 5300?

Teaf · 16 Sep 2007 at 09:37

No no, I mean I sold my 5300's very recently, never had any 6400's

Yeah stick it all together and you should be rocking. The only thing you *may* have to change is the memory timings. At default all RAM boots up at 1.8v, even sticks that require 2.2v for their recommended timings because DDR2 boards always boot up RAM with 1.8v for compatability. Then you can alter whatever in the BIOS. I'm not sure if the Corsair stuff runs at 4-4-4-12 at 1.8v, but if not and it's at 5-5-5-15 when you get Windows loaded in and check then you can enter the BIOS and reduce the timings to 4-4-4-12 from 5-5-5-15 and change the voltage (if needed) accordingly.

yeah i think it is 2.1 and 4-4-4-12

So its best to do this when you have got it up and running and installed windows etc.....?

Yeah, just get it all banged together first, install Windows, get all your drivers on and installed whatever applications to get fully sorted. Then go into BIOS and adjust whatever you have to for the RAM to get it the recommended settings. You can do it before hand but I would just do it after you have got everything else sorted.
