    Using an LCD TV as a monitor?

    The 1080 in HDTV display modes is the vertical resolution. 1080i/p = 1920x1080. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDTV Why not just buy a Dell LCD monitor instead? It might be cheaper that way, unless this TV is also for other things, like actual television, DVDs, console games, etc (though all...

    E6600 lapping results

    Are you only sanding certain spots at a time? That's the most difficult way to go about it. You're supposed tape your sandpaper over a piece of flat glass on a table, that way the paper will be flat, then hold your CPU in your hand and rub it across the paper on the glass. As it grinds down, the...

    E6600 lapping results

    It's reflective like a mirror, but as you can see in the later pics there are still a lot of scratches on it. I've seen a lot of lapped chips that literally look like Windex'd glass mirrors. Pretty irrelevant to performance though. It took about two hours, listening to loud music helps :). It...

    Best way to apply thermal grease?

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned the credit card/razor blade method? That gets it the most even. The drop in the middle seems like it would be confined only to the center of the heatspreader.

    Hard drive seems a little slower in new E6600 system

    By IDE, you mean SATA? My HDD is SATA and my DVD drive is IDE (which I haven't noticed anything wrong with). I just updated to the latest BIOS a few minutes ago, I'll post if I see a difference. If it's not just me and there really is an issue, I'll see about getting a controller card.

    Hard drive seems a little slower in new E6600 system

    Just got my E6600 + Asus P5B vanilla + 2gb Corsair DDR2-800, but ever since I installed Windows, the HDD access has seemed a bit slow. It's as though the drive has to go through a lot of work to get data whereas it took less time when the same drive was in my 3.0 Northwood. It might just be...

    E6600 poor IHS contact - needs a lapping

    Perhaps, but I'm going to go for it anyways. Do I need to use as many different grits as the guy in that guide did? I only want to spend a few bucks on paper :P

    It may report inaccurately, but 2/3 of the heatspreader not making contact would affect temps nonetheless. Thanks for the link.

    E6600 poor IHS contact - needs a lapping

    My E6600 is idling at like 40-45C (according to my P5B's BIOS) at stock--and I have a Scythe Infinity. Shouldn't it be more like 30C? Anyways, when I take the HSF off the bottom is like 1/3 covered in paste, so the contact is pretty crappy. It's probably the IHS being concave and like many...

    P180B motherboard studs--unremovable?

    Nevermind, the right edge of the board just falls short of the rightmost studs, though I don't like that since that whole side of the board is kind of hanging off and I'll end up bending the PCB when i push connectors in it.

    P180B motherboard studs--unremovable?

    About to put my P5B vanilla into my P180B and I noticed that the 9 motherboard studs on the back plate are a part of the backplate itself.. wtf? Wouldn't it be bad for the board to touch one of these studs where there isn't a screw hole? Wouldn't that leave the board vulneralbe to static shock?

    P5B Deluxe is MUCH better than DQ6 & DS3 in Full Guide PDF

    You're quite unique in your bad luck with ASUS. Just by reading forums it's evident that ASUS is more consistently higher in quality. It certainly has been for me.

    Lowering multiplier on e6600 to get a better overclock.

    Buying an E6600 just so you can lower the multi would be pretty retarded. You could save $100 and buy an E6400 and live without the extra 2 MB of cache as it only makes like a 1% difference in most benchmarks. The reason to get an E6600 is that at 9x it can get higher clocks at 400ish FSB...

    *** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

    Vanilla = regular, non-Deluxe P5B. The vanilla P5B just has a standard passive heatsink on the NB and no heatpipe or fan. The Deluxe has a heatpipe (no fan) that cools it a bit better, but you can add a cheap, quiet 50mm fan to the vanilla P5B's NB.

    *** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

    For cooling I'm sitting fine on a Scythe Infinity I intend to use when I get my E6600. I'm more worried about electromigration than the heat :P I'm using a 3.0C right now whose overclocking ability pretty much diminished due to it.

    *** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

    Turn Spread Spectrum off, it inhibits overclocking. I also believe that the Core2s are safe up to 1.4v.. but I'm not sure.

    Yeah it was pretty tough for me. Try taking the motherboard out, it'd be way easier and safer. You don't want to scratch the bottom of the HS.

    Scythe Infinity Mounting Orientation

    Asus P4C800 Deluxe, Socket 478. I don't know why everyone is whining about this thing being heavy, it isn't really that heavy compared to how big it looks. Just don't worry about it, it's not going to fall off or break anything. My Swiftech MCX-478-V was heavier.

    7900GT or X1900 GT?

    For a while the 7900GT has been where it's at for price:Performance, but I'm seeing that the X1800GT is just a little more. Any notable differences between the cards? Crappy ATI drivers aside :P

    Scythe Infinity Mounting Orientation

    See my Scythe Infinity + fan right here: http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/3161/scinfym2.jpg You can mount the fan on any side, but it's better longways like I have it since the heatpipes would probably restrict airflow through the fins.

    Scythe Infinity - See it in my crammed P180B

    I was able to do mine while still in the case but it was so tough. When I build my Core2, I'll definitely be doing it before I install the board.

    Scythe Infinity - See it in my crammed P180B

    I thought about directing it upward but with the direction the heatsink was facing it would have been too close to the GPU for my liking. Also it looks like the heat pipes might have inhibited airflow with how they're lined up.
