About LinkBacksGot myself a p5w dh deluxe and 2 gigs of G.skill cl4 6400 (F2-6400CL4S-2GBPK) but now need to chose a cpu.
Was thinking of an e6300 but as my memory most likely will do 800-900mhz, would it be better to opt for an e6400?
Any suggestions

i'd take the 6400 1x more on the multi means you have to do less to get a better overclock
although either is good both are great overclockers you cant lose
any more opinions? i'll probably order tonight off from scan
a 975 board is probably going to top out somewhere around 400-420fsb so the higher multi the better.
If you could afford it an E6600 or up is the best on 975 but 3.6GHz is more than a mild overclock.
An e6600 is out of my budget really, kinda set on a e6400 right now. Any ideas on a good cooler, was think of the scythe ninja or zalman 9500 as i want it as quiet as possible since my old rig is watercooled and whisper quiet.
Go for the cheaper E6300 imo, it will keep pace with anything for a year at which point quad core's will be in the realms of sensible, giving a nice upgrade path. You should get 3 GHz with the E6300, putting it at least on a par with the Extreme. E6400 not quite worth the extra imo.
OK now DEFINATELY settled on e6300 and wanna know what heatsink to get, please lt me know so i can order by tonight
my spec will likely be,
CPU= Intel Core 2 Duo E6300, Retail
MB= ASUS P5W DH DLX (already have)
RAM= 2XGB G.SKILL CL4 6400 (F2-6400CL4S-2GBPK) (already have)
GPU= Gigabyte 7900GT 256mb turbo edition (already have)
Cooling= Scythe Ninja Plus (i hope scan have rev.b's)
Cosair Dominator Airflow Fan (fairly cheap and looks kinda neat)
Optical= Samsung SH-S183A/BEBN SATA 18x18 ±R DVDRW (already got NEC 7173a but wanna sata dvd)
Case= CM 110
HD= already have loads of hdd's and a couple of zalman coolers for them

WHy dont you go for the zalman CNPS-9500 (LED)?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
looking at reviews they seem to be about the same however have the option to run it fanless
Just ordered an e6300 off scan along with a few other essentials and blank media.
Didn't get the scythe ninja as of yet because I dont know if they have the latest rev.b and also not sure about the memory cooling. It might intefere with the CPU HS as the pics i've seen of the p5w and the ninja shows if a fan is used it looks like the first ram slot is partially covered so wouldn't provide enough clearance for the dominator thingy.
If anyone has got the scythe ninja plus from scan.co.uk please let me know what revisions you got
found out that scan do stock rev.b's:
and also so happy as my hd-dvd from pcworld has just been shipped
those bastards at city link have yet again apparently tried to attempt a delivery when i purposely took a day off and stayed in
I ****ing called them at 5:30 and the depot called the driver who said he was running late as he left the depot late and would be here by 6:30. I bet they'll try to deliver the packages during the 2 hours i'm out tomorrow
that goes without saying unfortunately.Originally Posted by Hasnath

You owe it to yourself to click here really.
gave them a quick call as they still did not arrive and the depot got the driver to deliver in the next ten mins.
Anyway my e6300 batch number is L628A069, is that any good?
how longs a piece of string?
About 4 feet.
You owe it to yourself to click here really.
