    Good stuff.

    Please let us know how easy it was to build and config. e.g. problems encountered
    What case/psu are you using?

    Cheers

    PSU is a type-r 580Watt modular, and its replacing the X2 in the stacker.
    Post-purchase of an Abit NF-95 (thanks BUFF) the dual core will be moving into the media rig, once its finished.
    The San Diego is now in my brothers PC, superceding an old 2400+, and the Via Epia rig has been dismantled, until i get the conroe rig working

    Will keep u posted with updates and things, but I've heard alot of good things about Team Xtreem memory.

    Has anyone had any experience with it, good or bad?

    Very nice mate. You should be pretty happy with that little lot. My E6600 does a 1m PI run @ 21seconds

    can someone rename this thread to "The Conroe Overclocking Thread" or something, and everyone can post what they've got theirs to hit?

    Please post pics of CPU-z too!

    Dont make that mistake people. E6300 and 6400 are Allendale cores, not conroe, and yes, you may say that they still whoop things, and you would be right, but they overclock quite differently.

    I should know I have 3.

    Try the usual routine, check you aint missed and auxilary power socket. Move the RAM about, update BIOS, reset the CMOS. All the usual stuff. It's almost always something obvious.
