Let's put aside the price 1st.
Will the DS3 outperform MARS? Not planning to upgrade DDR3 anytime soon. So the MARS and Q6600 will work just fine right? Don't want later not OClockable or any compatibility issue because of the board. |

With stock cooler, Stressing Q6600 with stock cooler what temperature should I be seeing?
Still haven't get my mobo so just testing with another PC. I stress with OCCT/Prime95 both reaching 70c+, just test less than 5 minutes. Normal temp is core1/2 50c and core3/4 45c. This post has been edited by nles: Jan 31 2008, 06:06 AM |
