just ordered a 6700, what can i expect using a Zalman 9500 and Corsair 6400 ram?

e6700 = 2.66GHz (266MHz x 10)

PC2-6400 - DDR800 (FSB 400MHz)

so in theory if your mobo could handle 400Mhz-FSB and your memory can handle 400Mhz-FSB (DDR800) you could get 4GHz (400MHz x10) . . . . lol as if :)

Hmm for the price of an e6700 you could buy three (oem) e6300's, kinda makes u wonder???? :o
 
Hi! I clocked my e6600 with stock vcore(1.25@bios) and here's the result. Are My temps and volts ok for 24/7 use because I'm not going to uprage at least a year. I'm running tuniq tower 120 as high as possible about 2000 rpm. I would probably go higher but I'm pleased with these results. The ram is under clocked that's my next priority.

Is it save to run ds3 @400 fsb without a fan on the nb heatsink.I have stock voltage on the chipset. Does the aiflow in the case make any difference because I have Antec 900 with all fans on high. I don't want break anything because I'm not going to chance my system for at least year. Should I get a fan to the heatsink? Any experiences?

You should be ok if you have nice airflow in your case.

400 FSB is not that high for the DS3 so it should be fine.

If you feel like adding a fan it won't do any harm and its simple enough to do.

What kind of fan should I get? And how and where I install it?Thanks for the reply.

You could fit any fan you liked and fit it over the NB with a Zalman fan bracket.

Or you could screw down a 40 mm fan directly on the NB heastisnk
 
I have ordered a ds3 board, E6600 2.4ghz c2d, and 2gb GeIL PC6400C4 800MHz memory. Can someone tell me what settings i have to change in the bios to overclock it? I've also ordered an arctic 7 pro, so keeping it cool shouldn't be a problem. :)

If I buy a 40mm how should I mount it. The nb is under the heatsink near the cpu, right?

Just screw the fan down on the heatsink gently in between the grooves.

I would just use a fan bracket personally say a 120mm or 92mm fan blowing directly down over it.
