Hey
I'm in the mood for an upgrade. At the mo, I've got what's in the spec in my sig abut am looking at the following to upgrade it with.
-Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz
-Asus P5K-E WiFi Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
-Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g)
-Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 VGA Cooler
-Akasa AK-184-L2B Amber Ultra Quiet 92mm Fan - 3 pin (for the S1)
-BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
At the mo I've got a Zalman 9500 cooler, a Hiper Type-R 580W PSU and 2x 1GB OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-8500 RAM sitting inside an Antec P180 case which will be used in the new build. Planning on Vista Home Premium 32.
Clearly given the oc on my currrent chip I am in the mood for this sort of thing on the new CPU. Have heard the Q6600s go quite nicely up to 3gig on air?
Any thoughts from anyone? I'm really hoping that this will be quite a significant upgrade from what I've got at the mo but I cant really be sure as I'm not sure where my current chip at it's current speed sits in the grand scheme of things..
