Final check...

Absolutely awesome mate! Couple of questions though. Read on Custom PC site that you need to run "Hitachi aplett" to get it to run in SATA 2 mode? Have had a look around the web and can't find anything though. Would have thought that the mb determined the mode it ran in?

OC the graphics card fine and will have a look round the site re overclocking the CPU. The Gigabyte cooler I have has the CPU around 25 degrees so this should be able to be pushed a bit further?

Re: Enabling SATA II on the Hitachi
You need to download the "Feature Tool" from Hitachi and enable SATA II using the software. The default is SATA I for the sake of older motherboards.

Re: Overclocking
The 6600GT can be overclocked using CoolBits or RivaTuner.

The CPU can also be overclock very well. The following guide is the best I have seen:

Hope that helps, feel free to ask any other question :)
 
Cheers. Done the GPU with the coolbits and will have a read of processor link.

I may be being completely dumb (!) but is it the drive fitness test I should be downloading for the HD? :(
