Right, today I ordered an X2 3800+ 939 (around 12 noon). Now first off I want to cancel this, as I've made a stupid mistake purchasing it. I've decided it will be more worthwhile to go Conroe.

I just have a few questions

1) I have had no dispatch email at all, does that mean there having stock problems and havnt dispatched it, and can I cancel the order first thing tomorrow morning?

2) I want a conroe I can Overclock on air. I'm thinking the 6600.

3) What motherboard is the best on the 775 range for overclocking.

4) Will I notice a performance difference between

G.Skill 2GB DDR2 NR PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-6400PHU2-2GBNR) (MY-014-GS)

G.Skill 2GB DDR2 HZ PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS4 Dual Channel Kit (F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ) (MY-013-GS)

or could I Overclock the difference?

5) Also! Will my Zalman 9500 fit it!

Basically, I want a Conroe 6600, A good Ocing motherboard, and some G Skill ram ^_^

Cheers

Basically, you will receive the package tomorrow (assuming you payed for next day delivery). If not, try phoning them and see what they say. You can send it back under the distance seeling act though.

Gigabyte DS3 is the overclocking board, as long as you install bios F3. As for ram looky here...

I went for G.Skill 2GB DDR2 NR PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-6400PHU2-2GBNR) (MY-014-GS)

cos it was on offer of week and it will happily get my 6600 to 3ghz.

Id reccomend you the same, if you want higher overclocks get the Gskill HZ stuff, but for me NR is fine. :)

Cheers! Just going to have to wait for a RAM price drop next :)

So are there any other motherboards to choose from, or is Gigabyte the OCing Dog :o Also I will get DDR2 800 one of the G Skill kits ^_^

Conroe buying guide at Anandtech

Especially the value DDR2 results impressed me, IMO no need to buy super expensive RAM.

I found the mobo overlcoking a bit disappointing but maybe in the future there will be better overclocking ones (from DFI for instance)


Heh the ASUS P5W-DH Deluxe is a tad expensive :O hmmm, I'm going to have to bide my time for a while me thinks!

It is, but it is a deluxe mobo though.

What we need is a good overclocking mobo without all the extra bells and whistles.

How long do you reckon it will be before we see one of them pop up?

nForce 500 Conroe boards will be out in August and September, and overclockability on Conroe should improve up to 10% over the P5N32-SLI SE according to NVIDIA. That's still a far cry from the 400+ overclocks some of the 975X boards are reaching, however.
So nForce doesn't look too good.

What is really needed is a DFI mobo that is not a Infinity (limited) one but a DFI Ultra-D 975X/G or something like that, but I haven't heard anything about that.

I sent a web note, I payed by Solo. And they canceled it last night and this morning they replied saying, it was canceled, so all is well :)
