I have another question guys, i have a water cooling system, the problem is that i only have 2 tubes the run back and forth, one goes in the CPU and one goes out, but i want to use water cooling for my memory and graphic card too,is there like a way that i can split the Tube IN in to more then just one way?
 
i'd go for the e8400 or an e9550 right now.
but i don't see the use in upgrading right now.
i run an oc'ed e6420 and it's all i need.
 
Hey, hmm the q9550 is quit great, hehehe, i need some help, i heard people can overclock the e6550 like crazy, but i dont know how, can you help? BTW great computer you got there, so clean, hehe no wires, my computer have wires everywhere. hehe.

if you want to watercool more than one thing, you simply take the output of that block, and hook it to the input of the other block, that you want to hook up
 
I have an E6550 in my spare rig and I have clocked it to 513X7 for 24/7 use.

IMO you could easily clock it to 3-3.3 GHz and have a lot faster setup than you do now.

yea we tried to overclocked it, but i think the RAM cant handle overclocking.

did you talk to error about your overclock man? i plan on getting your proc to do 480x7 or better because my old e6300 had a x7 multiplier and i got it to 480x7. i can't see why your proc cannot handle that, maybe if we can get our hands on some D9 for you you will hit at least 450x7.

make sure the memory muliplier is set to by 2 and run your processor at 400X7

the memory should run 800 no problems, and I bet it will even run a little faster. Maybe your RAM multiplier is set to 2.4 or some high number right now.
 
An how you doing? no i havent talked to ERROR, i havent talk to you either, how about tonight we play some source?

@mikesrex thanks for the advice, i will try that
