I don't even get 30 FPS on my system at 1680x1050 with all settings on high and 2x AA. Thats with my Q6600 at 3.2GHz with 9800GTX at stock (will be OCing soon).

No, they're DDR1066 but they're running at DDR800 right now (also what the BIOS defaults to). The timings and everything are correct.

Well I just built my new system and I see that my Q6600, when set to 'default settings' in BIOS, it defaults to 1866.7MHz with 1066 FSB and a multiplier of 7X. What do I do so it goes to 2.4GHz like its suppose to or use all 9 multipliers? I'm an Intel OCing nub..

Well got everything today except the TRUE (TRUE's UPS ETA: 4/28) :D All I did was get the PSU in then I had to go out for a bit, I'll probably build it tonight or tomorrow. I'll have some pics by tomorrow :D

Either 22 or 24". Most likely 24".

The 780i was in the mid $300 range when it first came out. The 790i will drop too within a few month.

The price cut happened two days after I received my Q6600 :p Good thing I bought it for cheap from the Fry's Charlie Chip special, $180 retail with no MIR :)

Hey CD, nice to see you here :D More awesome mods as usual eh? :p

X850XT only has Shader Model 2 compared to the 7800GTX's SM3 so the quality would be by far, much better. Even if they were both to render in SM2 I think the 7800GTX would still be better, not to mention the much higher performance. If you were comparing the 7800GTX to the X1800/1900 then that...

I know, I said I would get another 640GB like I have right now for a 1280GB RAID 0 strip. Also, I got the Cosmos S today and the thing makes my old Tsunami case look like a mini ATX.. the box itself is like 5x bigger than the Tsunami lol.

I'll join :) I'm admin on a few NuclearFallout servers so I mostly play on them when I'm not scrimming. I play CS:S on my current computer which is an AMD 3800X2 @ 2.52GHz | 2x512MB OCZ | 6800GS | X-Fi XtremeMusic w/ Senn HD595. Building my new PC when all the parts arrive by the end of the...

Well apparently "very soon" is approximately a month according to Thermalright.. Guessing I'm just gonna re-order the original TRUE.

Same, my DHL ETA is 4/22. Will post back how it overclocks :D

I don't know why but I'm not really a RAID kind of guy lol :rolleyes: Maybe later I'll get another 640GB and get a 1TB RAID 0 strip. Thanks :D I ordered the RAM and HD from the egg, the others I ordered from ZZF, Tiger, and Frys. Only reason I got the Q6600 was because it was only $180...
