A new little toy

Realy...humm pending how long Intel take to get this bord RMA might have to substiute my Asus for the job
 
Mate, just out of interest, would you be willing to disclose how much you bought your chip for?

Need an idea because I'm looking for a E6600ES, but don't know how much to offer.
 
Well i was selling it for £485 so work off that. I the 6600 is $660 USD but price will drop in next few days when realese day comes
 
Nope £252.57 Including VAT at 17.5% then the silly £7 P+P

Low multi on that and locked mind!!!

Mind not in till the 24th and i heard they sold most of there preorder stock
 
Nope...definately £215+ delivery.

low multi can be more or less worked around with a wee bit of skill and some selective soldering. Granted high multis make things easier, but at the mo, from some honest admissions online..I think high multis make some ppl lazy

The ES's dont give you over stock multi's though... unless i'm mis-reading what your saying.... an ES chip wont give you anything over a retail except no warranty and possibly a higher price...

yup i also found it for £215+ delivery, too bad i just spent about £300 on this opty 175 about three months ago, and the E6600 is about a £100 cheaper and is more powerful :sad: what a bummer.
 
I hear ya.. welcome to the harsh end of performance computing :( I`m in the same boat...as are most of the guys here! Ah well....
 
i could technically sell all the stuff and just about have enough moneyu for a new intel core 2 rig, but to be honest, i'm not bothered, plus i am low on cash :(
 
Well here's mine so far

with the DFI 975XG board.

This board sucks for E6600 oc'ing, you have to use the 4:3 divider to get over 320fsb and then it maxes out at 380 or so if using Crossfire and Raid 0. I even pencil modded the NB to 2v and used a fan to cool it down a little, still no change. Hopefully DFi can refine the bios a little, the latest bios is not much better.

Where is my stuff Bordy? I have pm'd, e-maild, MSN, TXT, called asking for it for way too long now. I paid for all of this on the 7th of June and you still haven't sent me it.

You have made threats of blocking me here, deleting my posts and kick off at me when Big Phil here asks whats the story!

Right as per convo this morning giving you the benifit of the doute and a chance, i asked for you to get it packed and sent today or tormrow RMSD so i'd have it wednesday!

You said no way etc etc

Bordy i strongly sugest to you to sort this out or it's going to turn more nasty than it is

You are in totaly non comunication to me as you don;t want to hand it over. You have your own 930 full working and fine rig so you can hand mine back

I've told you even Thicky is willing to send it top me once you give it to him.

As promised if you wouldn;t answer me or return my good which i have paid for and cost a lot of money i would publicly name and shame you to get soemthing done

Pete

Great scores my friend.

You should enter that score into the ORB (now takes conroe entries) and enter it (and any other benchie) in our 3dbenchmarking team section.

EPUK needs conroe scores :)

Cheers
