Default Getting this RIG tomorrow


I will be getting this machine tomorrow... please comment...

Q6600
Thermal Right Ultra 120 Extreme (Already purchsed from PrimeABGB.. waiting for it to arrive and then will fit it myself)
Abit IX38QuadGT
Corsair 2X2GB 800MHz DDR2 Ram
Corsair HX620 PSU
Cooler Master 690 Cabinet
A cheap Gforce card ( will get 4XXX ATI card when it comes)

Please let me know if this choise is bad...

I thought of 9300 but when i have got TRUE Heat sink i think i can go with 6600 and overclock it as i need

nice rig but napster007 says you will have to get slightly better graphic card and do post some pics.

3.6Ghz on a Q6600??? tough job
but as hes already got a gud cooler, maybe he can hit close to hit.

i am at 3.4 with 650i ultra with true and hr 05 sli .. so on x38 its not tough at all .. tough would be 3.8- 4 ghz range ..

about x38 mobo .. at xtrmeforums .. seen very few threads about quad gt .. most people there would recommend dfi lanparty or asus maximus formula .. though quad gt is good mobo too.. also both dfi and asus x38 can be flashed to x48 bios ..

Q6600 can easily achieve 3.6GHz but with good cooling solution. Q9300 can overclock much better than Q6600 but it has limited multiplier, like other Penryn 45nm dual cores can easily cross 4GHz barrier but not Q9300.
So picking up Q6600 is a better choice and since u choose Quad GT, there is no need to worry.
Maximus also performs same as Quad GT but costlier.

And i like what u have planned for graphics card. Cheapo now, enjoy later.

bro don't go for Q6600. instead go bro E8400 or Q9300.

you can OC Q6600 but you can't compare it with Q9300. Q9300 is replacement of Q6600 it mat be only 7% more powerful than Q6600 but it has a great oc potential plus it is much more energy efficient than Q6600.

how much did you pay for CM690.

I also posted in another thread about the same. Q6600 has better VFM. U save 2300/- and for that, i think one can get decent cooler.

Overall Q6600 can overclock more because of higher multiplier but only with good cooling solution and power supply. Also 1066 default fsb strains the motherboard less while overclocking (<1600mhz).
Q9300 has a wall around 3.5ghz because of its low multiplier but overclocks nice on stock cooler and modest psu. But the motherboard needs to be able to push fsb to 470 (1880mhz).
As for overclocked performace, both are just same, with one sliding the other in different benchmarks.

Acc. to a review if Q9300 has to achieve 4GHz clock (which is no big deal) the motherboard has to achieve 550MHz FSB, which is by far no motherboard can do.

Good choice overall Ajay.
Stick with the Q6600, i really dont like the Q9300, its got a low Multi, lesser cache and its more expensive than Q6600.I really dont see a reason why anyone should buy that chip.

Stick with whatever you have decided, its a good solid combo.

Congrats in advance
