extol1337 Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) some of you may remember me (i doubt it) i used to be zigen on this board. used only a couple times to do a reformat and was stored in a closet for 3 months... Just picked up a cheap system for $200 bux just because I knew it had an E6700 conroe in it (newegg has the 6700's for $315). Brand new. Gonna salvage that cpu and HD and selling the rest to build a new system to my liking. I'm actually on the PC right now. Super PI'd 1MB @ 18 seconds. That blows my mind cuz my old AXP did it in 32 seconds haha. Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 @ 2.66 Intel DG965SS 2GB DDR2 RAM - Micron PC6400 74GB WD SATA Raptor HD Well my question is (not sure if I could even search for this info): Is the chip I have a good stepping to be an OC'er? (havent been in the OC business since Athlon XP days...) and no, i havent pulled of the HS to see what the batch is.. After I sell the other stuff, gonna run Asus Striker Extreme 2GB of Gskill and WC from danger den... So did I get a good OC chip or did I get shafted? Oh, and I was wondering if theres a way to turn off that auto-downclock thing to run it at 2.66 all the time....?

extol1337 Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 upon further investigation, i got a 74gb wd raptor along with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 First, yes, we do remember our unofficial Lian Li Expert As for your rig, I don't know if you can turn off the SpeedStep thing on that Intel board, as they tend to be very limited with the options in the BIOS. Most of the E6600/E6700's OC pretty well, you'll be above 3.2 in no time! As for what you want to run, I would advise against the Asus Striker Extreme, as it's horribly overpriced for the features it offers! I would either recommend the Gigabyte P35-DQ6, DFI Lanparty P35 T2R or if you want a 680i board, the DFI 680i LT. Gigabyte P35-DQ6 - 228.99$ DFI Lanparty P35 T2R - 299.99$ DFI Lanparty N680I LT SLI-T2 - 259.99$ These boards are all better than the Striker Extreme, which costs 299$ currently.

gotdamojo06 Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 I'd vouch for the GA-P35-DQ6, I have it and I personally lover it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DFI P35 seems like a very solid board. I need a case first though. the one i got with this rig is a micro atx case lol. Oh I won't buy anything other than Lian Li, duh! I turned off C1E from within Everest. this board has nothing that can be changed really! I was thinking for the water cooling I'd get a TDX block, Black Ice GTX240, Danger Den DDC-12V, 1/2" piping, Danger Den Dual 5 1/4" Bay Reservoir and 2 Sunon 120mm fans. Am I missing anything?

kingdingeling Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 I have no idea about WCing, but I'd recommend the DFI P35 board, simply because DFI's BIOS options are basically unlimited, I'm thinking of my DFI SLI-DR Expert here Lian Li case is a must for you huh?
