[merlin2001]

been desperately holding off the 'upgrade' bug for a while now, but this looks like it might just tip me over the edge

well it has been nearly 3 years since i last bought a PC and now in the market. As you can see from above its been a while since i visited these forums I dunno when Scan and Hexus linked up but seems like a great partnership. And the announcement of the g0 at no extra cost has probably changed which e-tailer i buy my whole kit from Hopefully your stock will hold out

btw i like using a lot.

There are still some discrepancies in the pricing i think because the quad is coming in at around the same price as the conroe 2.4ghz..

Typical, announcement made 6 hours after I place my Q6600 order, and I get a older stepping chip, just my luck

Shouldnt really be worried. you might be lucky enough to get one of those B3 chips that run better then some of the new G0's

hmmm. thats a little toasty for my tastes... might have to reconsider my plans to air cool mine when i get it. That said, holding out for the G0 should keep the temp down a bit.

Toasty, are you kidding? I'd say that's not bad considering the OverClock.
fat jez: are you cooling anything else with your waterloop, or just the cpu?
What Rad/Pump setup do you have in your watercooling kit anyways? Photos?

Just the CPU at the moment. At the moment it's a Thermochill PA120.2, shortly to become a PA120.3. Pump is an Alphacool DDC Ultra.

No photos until I get my new case

The one that gets those G0s quicker is getting my custom!!! Come on Scan!

[IT Troll]

LOL, if you Google, Q6600 G0 UK, every other link is a website/forum reporting that Scan will guarantee G0 stepping at no extra cost. I do hope you get a big shipment...

[podman]

Accidentally stumbled accross this thread- Brilliant news! A CPU is all I need to complete the build I started over a month ago now...

[ExceededGoku]

i really hope that OCUK don't follow suite, I want Scan to get all the business for once!

[ScottY_]

It helps them more if you don't post them in this thread then

Hopefully by the time i have the cash they will have them in stock
