Q6600 B3

Hayseed · 11 Feb 2011 at 11:47

Hi, I have a B3 revision Q6600, I'm looking to get a new oc board, fan and memory for it. I've been looking at an Asus P5P43TD mobo, ocuk no longer have P5Q Deluxe in stock. Anyone have any suggestions about new ram and heatsink/fan for it please. Existing ram is generic 2 X 1 GB PC2 5300, I also have some Corsair XMS6400C3 in my existing amd setup which could be used.
Any further mobo selections would help, I can't see to locate a P5QLD Pro.
TIA

Hi welcome to the forums.

This is a decent board for your Q6600 and if you are buying new memory as well id get something thats DDR3 compatible such as this :

and some of this memory to go in it :

Comes to about £110 and the memory can always be carried over to a future rig if and when you upgrade again

and not this:-

is it because of the voltage ?
