Hello all, I have the above motherboard, currently running with a Q6600 Core 2 Quad. I'm contemplating upgrading my system and buying a new graphics card and possibly CPU. I would rather keep the same mother board if possible. I was wondering what CPU people on this forum would suggest as...

Just for the record: I was unable to achieve anything much over 2.15 GHZ until I disabled Spread Spectrum thingys in BIOS. Then it was a simple matter of lowering mem divider (from 667 to 533) and HT link to 800, left multiplier at 10x and raised Bus to 240. I tried going even higher but...

I have a P6T SE that has been working fine since last November, but in June it decided not to go to sleep. It would go through all the normal motions to go to sleep, which I've watched it do hundreds of times. The last steps are hard drive light goes off, power LED starts to blink (indicating...

Hi there. About to buy a processor for a new build and was on track to get the 3750k. But, I have heard with the die shrink on the IB there will be heat issues. Is this a reason not to get an IB? Investing in old tech(SB) is usually not a good idea but in this case? Thanks lads
