LEAVE E6600 OC's HERE

very high. About 3.6GHz from what I hear. Of course you'll need a lot of cooling supplies costing about a few $100.
 
i tell you on saturday, i am building a computer with my uncel for my uncle with 2GB corsair RAM, 680i, e6600, and a freezer pro 7 for his work. ill let you know in a couple of days, i am so excited!
 
Liquid Cooling??

I am very sure liquid cooling and some Arctic Silver 5:D , will work well for cooling, NO WORRIES THERE. BUT, How safe is liquid cooling? I am a little edgy & scared of that.:o
 
I was able to get my e6400 to 3.2, I could probably go higher if I wanted. Keep in mind though I spent good money on a very stable psu, an excellent case, arctic silver and one of the best HSF on the market (IMO).
 
Mine is running at ~3.4Ghz on good air cooling (Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX). I haven't pushed the VCore too much, though, you could probably get yours further with water.

A few $100? Care to draw up a list of 'cooling supplies' which he'll need? I doubt he'll need more than $50. A decent Zalman HSF costing ~$40, plus a fan blowing on the NB (or a replacement). Definitely not a few $100.

But yeah, it's an extremely good board for overclocking. I pushed my E6300 to 3.5Ghz with it (it wasn't the stablest of things at that time though :P).

Well a nice case for good intake and outtake and a good heatsink. Normally if you don't have the case with good cooling and yours are all 80mm fans then you can suffer load and good cooling over silence. A good case uses 120mm fans or even the 240mm side fans for better cooling so you don't sacrifice cooling for noise and visa versa. i guess you don't need 120mm fans, but they're better IMO. So a good case would cost around $100, good heatsink about $40+ but if you want liquid cooling, a good one, better preventive from leeks around $150+ for the kit. And a few extra $$$ for you personal bells and whistles. Yes, I and upgrading all that for myself so I will be spending a few $100. most likely only $200. Water cooling would be nice, but risky....
 
When you said cooling supplies I didn't think you meant a fundamental part of a computer (the case). But cases come cheap nowadays anyway. You can get pretty good ones for $50 that will do the job nicely.

I would count the case with the actual computer, not the cooling supplies :)
 
Well, I myself am right now looking for new case, for better air flow since the new parts are big, they would constrict airflow in the case, so a bigger is a little better.
 
Listen Up, Here are some things I have planned on for cooling my PC,
Thermaltake Big Typhoon http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835106080

Aerocool AeroEngine Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16811196019

Arctic Silver 5 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835100007

I am open to being critiqued and suggestions, suggest what you think.
And how does your Big Typhoon hold up on your mother board? I saw reviews on Newegg about it coming loose and being unstable.

Thank you all
 
You'll probably want to buy the H-bracket kit if you don't want it to fall off. Otherwise it's risky business. To me, it sounds completely ridiculous that they would design a HSF that can actually fall off. It almost makes me think they aren't properly placing it on the motherboard...

I would recommend you look at the Zalman CNPS9700-LED. It has got very good reviews since it's been out. :)
